The Stones Poster

The story behind the poster behind my last video.

Everybody post their art!

You know, there are some great musicians and artists in this little Patreon community. Please, post links to your music, art, movies, whatever you make.

Here is the video I meant to post last week!

Sorry all, I didn't mean to post with no link.  End of summer and I have some brain fatigue, apparently.  Here is the video I reference...  https://youtu.be/Yb6PeRMe22Q

Patreon July Money

Thanks! Your support of the channel turned into the Billie Eillish vinyl ($35) Goat says “baaaa”) and finally a Gizzard ($25) purchase.

$60 in and out.

Of course, the support also much more psychological and I’m honored by your donations.

Any Yugoslavians want a special shout out for next Balasevic video?

I know a few of you are from former Yugoslavia and if you wanted a special shoutout for "Odlazi Cirkus" please let me know.  I would even say it in Serbo-Croatian if you wanted to hear me try!  

(Video is super long, probably going to be in two parts!) 

Here is my album (for better or worse)

So here is the album that I made in the early 2000s.  I recorded the drums first as one 45 minute take and then overdubbed the rest on a 4-track.  So, its pretty raw.  I never intended to release it so it feels weird to do so now, but I figure why not?  

When I listen to it I feel like the kid making the music is so far from me that it is almost not even me.  But, it is.  

I don't think that I would review it if it came up in my feed, but who knows. &...

Music Memorabilia: Concert Poster Doors & the Dead

I'm releasing an album... (gulp)

Hi All,

So, I used to make music decades ago. Before grad school, before parenthood, basically before life got good. 

I made one (unreleased) album with my band which was really good and I made 4 "solo" albums in which I recorded every note by myself.  The final album from 2002 was probably the most interesting one and I had lost my only copy of it until two days ago.  I found it in a stack of old CDs!  

  It is an album which is 100% about and ...

The Youngest Brother Series Begins

Based on your input, there does seem to be some interest in self-reflective videos about my history with music.  Certainly my brothers are the single biggest influence, so here is my interview with Barth.

Content vs. Personal Stuff

Was talking about the Patreon with the Dr. & Mrs. and we had a discussion about "personal stuff."  Like, I know that people mainly like the channel because of my views, but maybe Patreon is a place for more personal stuff?  Or, is that superfluous?

Examples:  A video series on the "history" of the channel?  Kind of thing that you care about?

Early Access to next video

Going on vacation so going to spread out the videos a bit.  Will post them here once they are done and then release them to the rest of the world later.

Clapton; a case study in hating music.

Doing a Lorde video....

I know that a couple of you are big Lorde fans and wanted you to know that I'm going to do a review of Melodrama & the New Song.

Anything you think I should know?  

I'm doing it from the angle that I've literally never heard one of her songs (besides for Royals) but that its been clear that I've missed out.    Going to review the new song, but only after hearing Melodrama for the first time.  

Can you like anything?

How I spent your money from May

thanks!  

A poster I made for goat on how to break down a a song.

New Balasevic video soon...

Anyone want a shout out on the video?

Anyone have thoughts they want to share on Mojoj Mami album?

Today's Outtakes

Unusual. 

The Greatness Misbehavin' from the Righteous Gemstones

Felt like talking about this song, so thought I'd share it with you folks.  Doubt anyone would care about it, but who knows?  Dr. and Mrs. makes some good points. 

Preview of “Early Daft Punk” coming later

Tried posting this yesterday, but it didn’t work.

Am I even looking at the camera in this one?  

Travelogue - Buying Records in West Virginia

No review this weekend due to travel, so enjoy this weird travelogue instead.    I'm going to leave this public for people who might be interested in the kind of things I show here on Patreon where my viewers fund my new music purchases.  

Today's Outtakes

I imagine that the outtakes will be less funny now that I know that I might post them, but I thought I'd post these anyway.  Why not, right?  Oh, and this was not my "official" weekend video with the Patreon shoutouts.  That will be the next (much more in-demand) review.
