Just a little phone recording of a lullaby cover for you tonight. We'll work on this one until you can hardly recognize it. ;)

live @ goldies sept. 2022

I finally got around to uploading and making public the audio from our full open mic set at Goldies in September. I've got some audio from the Halloween party I'm processing too, but that will be a while~

Stay warm out there.

freewrite 4 us 11.04.2022

Maybe it's just my echo chamber reflecting back at me, but it really seems like there is a mass awakening of consciousness going on. It's not just my +-10 year age group of peers, but my elders, and the kids too, they're all seeming to get it, more rapidly and readily than I've seen in my lifetime.

I've been a disobedient little shit for a long time, writing poetry about revolution and rabblerousing with my friends, so I know the kids have always been alright, and I've always had mentor...

power on top lyrics

Psychic Spychick wrote this song, leaving space for some freestyle rap because we knew our first performance of it would be in collaboration with our coworker and friend/artist J Brig. It has a lot of room to grow on its own, but I am pleased with what it's becoming. I posted an audio recording of our open mic performance a while ago, but I didn't share the lyrics. We've been calling the song Power on Top.

hathor's hallow

We threw a Halloween party last night, and it went well. I'm still processing it, but it feels pretty good. Nobody got hurt (except for a minor hot glue gun incident), and I'm pretty sure everybody had a sweet time.

Sara and I had been talking about throwing a Halloween party back in early September, but couldn't find a venue for it. We had sort of given up in mid-October and started talking about scaling it way down to 6 or so guests for a spooky-music-potluck-thing in my apartment. Th...

That's a wrap.

at it

I've started a lot of updates and blocks of writing this month. There's a lot going on, internally, externally. I've been on a mission to close some loops.

Here's a picture of a little mess I'm making. The process carries on.

Take care, my friends.

new song ruff draft #1 ; 05sept2022

we've got a lil ruff of a new song in the works (and maybe a band name? getting close), this is a rehearsal recording from Monday

a capacitor blew up in my vocal pedal while I was out of town, so we're voxless for a spell, but hoping to get it fixed and have something that can provide power to a mic in the interim here soon

always grateful for y'all's support, it's so freeing to know the repairs and supplies to keep making are paid for~

I've ...

Today's progress looks like making waves & firing up the glue gun.

doing some serious mixed media over here

I've been thinking about this piece for a couple of months now--I may have described it to you in some fashion while the puzzle was starting to buzz..le.

Since I returned home this last Monday night, I have been making moves on it. In the past couple of days, I covered one of my big canvases with black gesso, made a paper mache face (it's my face :3), and crocheted some mesh net from yarn my landlord brought me from a yardsale.

Today I:

Glass Ceiling live @ the fair today

Vid of me n Sara playing Glass Ceiling by Metric at the fair today. Practice makes practice. :) :) :)

Thanks to Remi Buckler for recording.

Maggots live @ the fair today

Oy, ,

We were late, and lost, but we played our first non-open mic gig together today. And dang, we sounded pretty good. Thanks to Remi for coming to see us and providing video evidence of this rock & roll.

some wheres to wander: a listener's digest

In regards to personal projects, I’ve been in a bit of a private incubative space for a while now—(maybe all of this year)—listening to music, and podcasts, and reading, fiction and non-fiction (the two genders of books), gathering bits from the aether for the *next thing*. There are a lot of *next thing*s, seen in photos over the past few months, which is, I’ve made peace with, a critical “striving outward” component of the incubation.

In the public sphere, I just finished ...

a wee bit o astrology for the schlugernauts

If any of you eso-curious schlug friends would like me to cast your natal chart, let me know your DOB, time and place you were born, and what you would like your fake name to be in a private message. You will receive paper documents by mail. :)

It's pretty easy to get your chart online and in apps these days, but I'm personally sus of registering the cosmic imprint of my soul with a third party in a world where we have no digital privacy. I have no judgement regarding your choices eithe...

!0! - would you look at that

It’s hard to believe it’s almost July and this year’s count of 2,022 is nearly halfway through. Does absolutely everything seem like one fast and slow dissonant moment to you? Something like the sands of time and the winds of change collaborating in a wicked storm of present tense? Maybe it’s a strange mass puberty of consciousness causing us to restlessly slip between dimensions.

Some people call it “poor time management”--and how bold they are to manage somethin...

ahoy pt II

some pictures to tell the story

ahoy // getting organized

Hello--

How are you?

I've been scraping by a little bit in every way this month, but there is much joy to share. I borrowed what feels like a communal drum kit from some friends months ago and finally set it up, reorganized my music space (which means reorganizing all of my furniture), and have been playing guitar again. Another friend of mine is learning to play the drums, so that we can scream and crash and be loud together. I miss live performance, and pla...

Thine wheels a-spin

My poem Pennies is being published in a poetry anthology zine by Coin-Operated Press this month. "Poems For The Ride" is comprised of poems submitted by members of Amanda Palmer's Patreon community. If you'd like to pre-order a copy, today is the last day they're available. If you miss out on the physsy copy, the anthology will be available as a free pdf after today.

I've got so many pictures of crocheted nonsense coming up soon. I started a BS program online last month and I...

wait, is today a holiday?

Have you ever been so uncomfortable, you climbed a tree? To get some space? It’s different from walking away. You don’t disconnect, or look away, you just look down on it, long, from above. That’s what I did the last time I saw my parents interact. It was 2012, and I was 20. I had met my progenitor 4 times since my mom packed me up and moved to Alaska in 1995. Their only connection after all those years was me, and so it was all they really had to talk about. That and their mutual and r...

day 0-2 : 6:40 to yuma

After 2 and a half days of travel-transience, I have arrived at a hotel in Yuma to unload and unpack.

The train ride was long, and steady. We had two strange delays on our first train, which I doodled about in my comp book. We were stopped for 2 hours because emergency fire services had to run their hoses across the tracks. Later, there was, perhaps, a car on the tracks? I didn't see it, so I can neither confirm nor deny its existence.

On the train my cousin ...

day 0 ; traveling pt 1 self portrait

Made it to California today. I had a 4 hour layover in Seattle. I've never left the Seattle airport so I took the light rail to mt baker to smoke a cigarette by a dumpster. That was nice. Had a mostly adequate sandwich at the airport sports bar and was blessed to sit in the furthest darkest corner by myself. When the staff asked "is this seat ok?" I laughed and said it was perfect. Lots of reading and writing and doodling time all day.

When I finally landed in California, everyone on m...

iou ep release show // archive

There's about 38 minutes of silence and projection before the show. Do with that what you will. We were meditating in the living room, and then trying to figure out why tf vlc suddenly didn't want to talk to the chromecast. (:

babies

Hey everybody--it's 2:45am and I owe y'all a serious update. I released the album. Did the show. I'll post a link here shortly to the archived video.

What a fucking trip. That shit was begot. I've never given birth but Julia Cameron shares a pretty graphic comparison in her book The Artist's Way (everyone should try morning pages btw, it's like letting the steam out of your brain). Creating ar...

iou ep released // happy winter palindrome day

It's out, my luvs.

I fine tuned the 5 ep songs just a little witty bit more, and sent it out into the world with a big exhale this evening. There will be a physical copy in January, which I will send to all of y'all on the mailing list! Thank you for funding this lil' milepost. Some of these songs are 10 years old and having them published is--I feel free to move on, in a way.

The streamed show on the 25th is looking *really good*. I hope you all can make it,...

what happens now ; 03dec2021

aaaand, what happens now

what happens now

the TV keeps me company

says sex is sick and violence is the cure

it's funny, when you put it that way

I don't really wanna watch it anymore

oh the news on the radio says that

we'll all die, but we'll be fine if

we went to college

we might be acknowledged

tell me the truth

I'm old enough to hear it

and young enough

november ; 06dec2021

It's been a busy week.  I jumped onto the Nutcracker crew at the last minute, and that was great fun but a lot of work. Also, I am going back to school in March and my online orientation was this week. That's all wrapped up now, and I'm almost done editing tracks. Here's what I've got for November.

iou ep

Wow you guys, I decided on a whim a week and a half ago that I was going to release an ep on Christmas. It is now certainly in the works. I have 4 tracks done and I'm shooting for 6 by December 4th. I'm doing it all myself so it is ruff, but it's got a neat diy aesthetic. I am also planning to do a live stream the evening of 12/25 (time tbd). Remington is running sound and camera and general tech for me (bless 🙏) and Sara is making animated collage projections. I'm hoping this will be good...

and it sucks in my head sometimes

over and over I roll in my bed

my fucking hips ache every day of my

and yes I know I could just

why can't you just get over it?
