FROM THE VAULT: BOSS TV - Before I Let U Go (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This was my third music video and my first collaboration with Cramer England. You may know Cramer as my co-host on The Oner Podcast. For a few years we made several videos together and even started a small production company producing and directing music videos for other artists.

BOSS TV is a side project I did with my friend Chris Bjornn years back. Chris and I had been the two heads of a folk rock duo called Us Thieves for several years when we decided to make an album of low-fi elec...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: Bureaucracy Will Be The Death Of Me

THE ONER!

Y’all watching The Oner yet? If you’re ever in need of something lighter and easier to digest from me and my channels The Oner is about as basic as it gets. It’s just me and my childhood next door neighbor and lifelong best friend watching movies and breaking them down. Check it out! Even if you’re not interested in the show, simply clicking the link and hitting subscribe would help us out a ton with the YouTube algo. Thanks in advance!

FROM THE VAULT! “Dangerous Liaison”

My second attempt at making a music video for one of my songs. On “Taught to Lie” I collaborated with Tiago and co-directed. With Dangerous Liaison I directed and choreographed on my own. I was lucky that two of my talented friends, Samantha Matsukawa and Kate Overholt, were available and willing to star in the piece. To this day Dangerous Liaison remains one of my favorite things I’ve ever made.

The song never made it onto an album. It’s so different from my other music I coul...

FROM THE VAULT! “Taught to Lie” my very first official music video.

In yesterday’s post about mental wellness I talked about how I never intended to be a professional political commentator and how my whole life I only ever wanted to make art. So I thought maybe I should share more of that art with all of you. One thing I’ve been doing consistently for nearly ten years now is directing music videos. Originally I only directed videos for my own songs (because I was the only artist who would hire me) and then I started making videos for other artists more an...

1776!!

We just hit 1776 paid members and I just had the thought that if this was a conservative page we'd all think that was pretty neat. The founding fathers would be so proud! single tear rolls down cheek as God Bless America starts to play (whispered) "America, fuck yeah."

Hey everybody, two things!

1) We’ve had a big week in terms of growth with the Patreon community which is great because my videos keep getting taken down on YouTube, Meta, and TikTok and my accounts keep getting strikes so this might be all that’s left soon. So thank you and welcome to all the new Patrons!

Ditching the Analogy and Speaking More Directly (EARLY Release!!!)

This is kind of a part 2 to the video I posted with the Jeffrey Dahmer analogy. A lot of people were getting pedantic in the comments so I figured I'd hit 'em with a more direct approach. This should go live tomorrow. it's yours first. Let me know your thoughts!

I’ve Been Too Diplomatic. Let’s Fix That.

So we’re clear, Charlie Kirk was a repugnant human being. A monster. His fans are monsters. He was killed by an even further right wing, even more hateful ideology. This is white on white crime. Hate on hate.

Day 2 Thoughts

TikTok continues to suppress and censor my page. Just another day at the office. Listen, feel however you feel. If you saw the up close footage and felt nauseated or traumatized by it, that's appropriate. You aren't wrong for reacting that way. Gun violence is horrific. It's disgusting and tragic and senseless. However, I will say that if you feel like people need to be more reverent or respectful of the man Charlie Kirk was... I think you might need to slow down and really think about that o...

My Thoughts on Today's Events

TikTok wouldn't let me post this video. Can't imagine why, I genuinely don't think there's anything in this video that is worth censoring. This is the only topic anyone is talking about on any app. But for some reason I'm not allowed to. Oh well, that's why we have Patreon.

The Wired Article Part 1.5

I added this addendum to the video I posted earlier today. You can find the full video on my YouTube channel. This isn't part 2, just additional thoughts. I'll be completely honest, I'm really tired and bummed out over this whole thing. I feel like the harm Taylor has done here might be very difficult, if not impossible to undo.

Sorry for posting it to TikTok first. I know I usually post everything here first. But this is a really pressing story and I wanted to get this out while it was still developing. So here it is. This is just part 1. This story keeps getting worse and worse the more time passes so part 2 is gonna be a doozy.

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: Fun With Magical Thinking

Just to reiterate, I don't actually think move theatres are magical, space-bending buildings. I'm just saying it's fun to think this way, and also it's a thought that I understand on an emotional level, if that makes any kind of sense.
