Avoiding foreclosure letters 🤪

I had hoped the next thing I posted here would be some behind-the-scenes footage from my latest release. I started trying to edit some of it together into something that might be at least marginally entertaining to watch, and then (of course) I got sick / sidetracked.

little wins

I haven't posted much lately. I was sick a big chunk of this week. Still sick, but getting better. Nothing serious, just a cough/cold. I'll be fine 🤣

3 tracks - who will finish first?

Hi all — it's been a minute since I posted. It feels silly sometimes posting here, since I know exactly who can read — so I figure sometimes I'm telling y'all things you already know.

Update

Good morning, all. I'm writing this from the parking lot of my daughter's dance school on this cold Saturday morning (30º according to my dashboard thermometer 🤣).

NEXT!

Good morning, all!

My least favorite part begins — promotion. If you've been following along with my various posts lately, you know that i already don't feel like this latest release is destined to be a big hit song or anything. It's just not that kind of song.

new release, "your journey..."

It's been a week.

It's been a few weeks, actually. I mean, it's been a life but these past few weeks have been hard.

Mixing/mastering suckage

I hate this part.

There is a never-ending supply of dudes out there who will only too excitedly tell me how i *should* do this part, but my eyes glaze over when they start talking about compression ratios and out of phase tracks and gain staging.

Getting going again

Hi all,

I've always been bad about documenting my process. Weirdly, the fact that I've gone silent the past few days was a good sign, because i *have* been working.

False starts 😳

I've been having trouble writing new material lately.

I haven't written a new song or lyrics since about August, and I'm not even sure that project is going anywhere. It's a pretty basic punk-protest song and it may just be too fast for me to play drums on (plus i've never been 100% happy with the lyrics) 😅

Glorby blox

I started typing the title and failed — decided to go with it. Fits the mood 🤣

I'm actually literally having trouble typing today. I'm not sure why. Yesterday was rough — even though on the whole the day was a "win" for me, it was still emotionally exhausting. I don't know if I've written about it here, but it was the day of the renewal hearing for the restraining order against my ex. One year and two weeks after the first order.

A work in progress...

Hi all!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend 🥰

Since you've all been so good as to pay for the access to >> whatever it is I'm giving here << 🤣 I thought it might be fun to see something I'm working on. This song (and a few others) have been brewing for a few months now.
