For the first time in several years, I'm listening to John Lennon exclusively today (Dec 8) to remember him on the anniversary of his death. This is actually an old personal tradition that, for reasons I've forgotten, I used to uphold without fail.
Love you, miss you, thank you, John.

EPIC weekend.
A new F1 World Champion. Huzzah, Lando Norris! Been a fan since Day 1. It has been awesome to see your growth from rookie to World Champ.

Lately I've been listening to and digesting quite a few interviews of the late Steve Albini, and the more I hear him talk about his approach to recording music, the more I wish I'd have had a chance to meet him, just to learn more about his art and craft.
Maybe in another life...

It has been nigh on three months since I last wrote a song. Every now and then I'll come up with a bit, then decide, nah, this ain't good enough to keep.
But I'll keep on trying.
That's just the way this game's played.

If I seem like I'm in a rage, it's because I am.
The sheer injustice in society is intolerable.
I do not condone murder. But I will NOT deny that sometimes I feel a bit of a righteousness when someone who is demonstrably evil gets removed from among the living.
I will never apologize for that.

Am pretty sure this isn't a sterling example of "freedom of speech."
You know. That same thing these assholes love to tout Charlie Kirk being a staunch exemplar and advocate of.

My sympathies are going to the family of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman’s family. She, and her husband were assassinated a few months ago and there was no national order to lower flags to half staff.

Having a family does NOT make you a good person.
Even the Nazis had families. Heinrich Himmler had a gazillion kids, if I'm not mistaken.
But he was still a fucking Nazi, and anyone who lines up with Nazis and everything they espouse does NOT deserve any kindness. At least not from me.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.

Still on a sketching/drawing kick, as you can see.
You win a full portion of internets if you can ID my muse in these sketches.
(As an aside, the first two sketches are quite brutal. But the third one... an angel was guiding my hand and eye with that one.)

Been a bit dry musically the last couple of weeks, but thankfully I've not been totally creatively bankrupt.
Broke out the pencils, eraser and sketchbook, and here's some of what I was able to make that I deem shareable.

An essential truth I need to be mindful of:
Not every seed is supposed to sprout and bear fruit. Some are just put in the ground, and that's all.
And so it is with writing songs.
Not every idea - or song fragment - is supposed to germinate into a full song.

Ever jammed a finger?
When I was young, I used to do this all the time. Playing basketball and other ball sports carried this potential hazard as a part of the deal.
Who jams a thumb getting into bed?

Speaking as an artist/creative person, few things disgust me more than the proliferation and the growing acceptance of AI.
ESPECIALLY when it is used in things that stop people from doing things that make them human.
AI has absolutely NO place in art. This is an absolute position for me.

The last couple of days I've been really focused on EQ and honing in on that with my tracks for Album 1.
Honestly it's quite amazing to just concentrate on this aspect of the process. It's all still quite new to me, and there's an excitement that's unique to finding new discoveries.
