Cool show. Crazy and the Brains continue to be my favorite modern punk band opening for these legacy acts. Also, the new Casualties lineup is doing a great job.
Go see live music.

One of the worst things about doing a Ph.D. in the humanities is the amount of time you spend talking and writing about other folks’ art while not having time to make art yourself. So many ideas and not enough time.

Ingenta Connect is a very slow platform and makes hunting for articles painful. I feel like I’m back on the web with a 28.8 modem.

I made 1 hour and 15 minutes of instructional videos in Mainstage for music educators this weekend. It was exhausting but I’ll be able to use them for multiple things going forward so I think it was worth it.

One month ago I dropped the 1st track from a new project on Bandcamp and all major platforms. It’s a huge departure from composing and I’ve learned a ton in the process. Eager to get back to it and release more material in 2026.

Had the amazing opportunity to record a university wind ensemble last night. Definitely a different experience than just reading about it! Very grateful for the trust.

I know my local audience on Bluesky is very small, but with everyone feeling the economic pinch right now, local mom & pop restaurants are also hurting. If you are are doing well enough to eat out and are in Southside OKC, some here are some places that can use your support:

I was very confused why the bass drum sounded so washed on the streaming version of my new track. Digging through the Live set today showed me that I had somehow turned off the kick drum compressor before bouncing the audio. Super embarrassing rookie mistake. Fixing on the EP version.
