Joker Brain, by SCUF track by SCUF

Song I made with my wife and our friend about trying to do and be better in this warped, wretched world.

Hi. It's me, Adrian, sitting here in my hair shirt, telling you to buy my book HAIR SHIRT. It's full of poems you can read!

Buy it from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social at IWANTMYHAIRSHIRT.com

Kids are being blown to pieces the world over and poets are still complaining to eachother about uncomfortable emails they have to send/receive.

My band SCUF put out a song called “Too Much” today. Started writing these lyrics almost a decade ago and they feel truer now than ever, unfortunately. Love, peace, and solidarity. #MentalHealth #RedactTheRich #FreePalestine

Coffee..

My routine on work from home days is coffee, then turn on YouTube videos of David Lynch being interviewed in the basement and turn it up loud enough so I can barely make out what he’s saying from the desk where I’m working. This is my version of transcendental meditation.

Had a dream me and my friend Jim went to this guy’s house and were drinking coffee too late at night from a giant plastic aero press type contraption and I was making everyone watch a Primus video that was going nowhere but I kept saying “oh yeah here comes the part” for like 20 mins

Coffee :)

Coffee makes me happy.

Loud, discordant music calms my nervous system down.

Coffee makes me happy.

My cat makes me happy.
