Full respect for a songwriter who posts *60 seconds* of an unreleased song and the government feels the need to put out a statement on it.

The story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was the biggest musician ever. Here is why:

Musicians today: “ I will have no taste, and make emo crap! I am a little baby, and I am trash, and I suck! One Coffee Frappuccino Please. Here is a poem I wrote about Politics.”

Mozart: “I am not going to be like that.”

Now you can begin to see Mozart’s power.

On top of that, Mozart could make music out of anything. He once made a master piece just by squeezing a chicken. He did symphonies just by squeaking his shoes on the floor. He could drive Demons out of wicked man just by whistling sweetly with his big lips.

Further more, Mozart did all of this without a computer. People today cannot even tie their shoes without a computer , and that is why everything is such a dump.

If you come to someone’s house, and they do not own at least 3 of Mozart’s albums, you are legally allowed to commit any crime you want.

The number of people who have independently compared my voice to Bob Mould’s has passed into “statistically significant”

I really like Amazing Radio (it isn’t extractive or scammy like so many platforms for independent artists are, and you can actually get broadcast) and now we’re apparently #2 on their UK website, with “In There Somewhere.”

Policy for the new batch of songs I’m working on is, if it doesn’t make me cry, it isn’t good enough

Unhappily felt.
There's almost 0.00% difference between us and the Cleveland/ Midwestern bands we grew up watching, in the 70's and 80's and 90's; + yet they're appreciated, even revered (some more than they ever were then), + we're ignored or scorned, by the same people.
Ngl, it wears on you.

Just speculation but I feel like the heavily diminished role of live music in bars and cafes has generally eroded the idea of a “local band” in many people’s minds (even though there are still tons of local bands). So bands that exist without any claim to fame or all-out virtuosity look weird.

Well the world has seven wonders
That the travelers always tell
Some gardens and some towers
I guess you know them well

Coming to terms with the fact that I’m not really interested in the sorts of rock music that have completely and totally disavowed any roots in the blues

Here’s the beautiful cover artwork of our new EP, designed and handpainted by Jonny Campolo, with a photo I took in London on June 18, 2001. Out this Friday. Listen to the title track here now.
