aw those sound like fond memories! my dad was an engineer who specialized in disk heads & hard drives. i remember listening to him argue with his best friend at the dinner table about like, time travel & quantum mechanics in solid state drives or sth? very much a tech optimist, lover of invention.

such a beautiful, melancholic, horror-tinged masterpiece of an album. happy 4th birthday, another childhood 💕

"Another Childhood" is 4 today ! i'm generally better at the music than the words, but maybe i can share some interesting tidbits about the album's creation on this anniversary...

ha. so an example. my dad was considering letting AI write his memoir so that his kids could read his life story. he doesn’t care if it’s well-written. i reminded him that to reach that goal, he needs to be a kind of father that his kids want to connect to and read about.

i’m in a weird situation where my dad was a silicon valley engineer in the 80’s. where many people i know act as tech support for their parents, i feel like i have to be a humanity check.

if you aren’t super tuned into COVID news it is unlikely you know just how easily the newest variant spreads.

vaccinate. mask. act like it is 2021. or you are probably going to get it. (ask me how i know!)

haha, right? it becomes a lifestyle

i did think about including that! i chose not to because it seems to be a much less common scenario. i haven’t ever done it or encountered it among my musician friends or long-nailed students—so while that is possible, if i apply my own experience and discernment, it’s *more likely* the other thing

despite everything, my kids are very cute and that is how i’m getting through the day

hi! this found its way onto my timeline so hope it’s okay if i reply!

i’m a pianist, and we constantly keep our nails short to play our instruments effectively. when i see someone with long, beautiful nails or elaborate nail art, i know that person either hasn’t been playing or doesn’t play at all.

Available on cassette, each copy comes with a flower from one of the street vendors that presale/release show $$ used to buy out.

We've made $210 so far. With that money, we've been able to buy out one street vendor for the day and 1/3 of another's stock.

Imagine how much more we can give!

Bouquets hanging from my ceiling, waiting to be dried

All the cash we handed out to the vendors. $210

Screenshot of Bandcamp presale payouts. $81.16 total paid out to me on Bandcamp.
