The bar is in hell if a 20 year old satirical style with as many teeth as my late 97 year old grandmother qualifies as speaking truth to power in any meaningful way.

This is why local main streets and shops are so important to keep alive.
Little music shop sold me this amazing 1992 Yamaha RY10 for less then $50 and threw in a really nice mic stand for only $20. On Amazon that gets you a stand that falls over under its own weight

I love when Tom Morello speaks. I hate when he plays and performs. I apologize in advance to those with bad taste in music. But the man is smart. He’s politically on point almost always.

It’s cute when liberals still think “vote with your dollars” means anything.
Demand is manufactured. This is supply side economics now. He’s on the air because it’s advantageous to Disney for reasons not obvious to us plebs yet. Not nearly enough people could live without Lilo and Stitch a day

Sometimes I picture my exes on a couch at 8:30pm on a weeknight watching reality tv while their husbands are drinking beer somewhere while I’m taking apart and fixing this old reel to reel machine in my studio.
Not sure if that makes me or them the losers here..

I’m deep into recording. Learned to never promise a release date but things are getting done. I know it’s been almost 3 years but that’s what happens when artists grow up and have families.
We have 2 of 7 tracks recorded so far.

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet but sending the army to Chicago (and elsewhere) is about voter intimidation during the midterms and maybe the generals.
Deporting and harassing anyone darker than lily white is just a nice side effect for these losers.

For the last couple of years I was following a rigid traditional songwriting and recording structure. Now that I’m just playing with sounds again things are really starting to flow.
