Happy "New Mountain Goats Album day" to those who observe. I'm halfway thru my first listen and its a gorgeous sad little journey. I treat Mountain Goats albums like musical theater soundtracks so I'm glad they're calling this one a musical. Also Lin Manuel Miranda on backup vocals ocasssionally?

I would watch a whole spin off show about the Choreography and Merriment department at Lumon. I have so many questions. #severance

Midwest Goodbye, by Jake Dewar, Comedian-Tragedian track by Jake Dewar, Comedian-Tragedian

New Music Friday. My friend Jake Dewar made this midwest emo rock track about the midwest goodbye and I'm one of the guest vocalists. It's a very silly track and I love it. Give it a spin! jakedewarcomedy.bandcamp.com/track/midwes...

I've got a new song out today. I wrote this track for a show I'm sound designing as party music that exists in a dystopian world...it seemed oddly relevant for the current state of things so I released it. Also it's a bop.

My favorite exchange from the #Survivor48 marooning that unfortunately didn't make the cut:

I am instigating a policy called "horror hour" where I set a timer and engage with the horrors and then do nice non-screen grounding things on either side of that time. But yeah wooooooof aggreed

Yesterday one of my piano students asked me "what if a crescendo lasted a whole song?" and I haven't stopped thinking about that.

Right there with you. One of the first things I did was go through my friends list and make a list of phone numbers I need. I also am going to lean in heavily to my email list. I'm a big concerned on how leaving meta will impact promoting projects but I'm hopeful I can figure it out.

I made Mirchi a couch durning 2020. She sits on it approximately two times a year and this was one of those days.
