I played a rock show tonight, and am on those post-show endorphins...

Grammys 2026: The State of the Race With fewer megastars dominating the charts, the industry confronts a crossroads: less spectacle, more substance, and maybe — just maybe — a little more soul.

The rules from The Recording Academy clearly say that sales volume and popularity are NOT to be considered when voting, yet this article about the voting this year is about sales and popularity, as opposed to artistic merit. #fyc #recordingacademy #grammys

Oh dear

I met some hard-working, passionate music professionals last night at the annual GRAMMY Legacies and Looking Ahead event in Chicago, and am feeling some extra inspiration today.

Currently watching videos of Superdrag playing live on YouTube, and would like you to know this my happy place.

"Mountain Song" by Jane's Addiction

Excellent choice

That's a great picture

I consider "Walk on the Ocean" amd "All I Want" to be pretty perfect pop songs.

Played a show tonight, and the post show endorphins are keeping me from sleeping

I need a Gen Alpha Tik Tok expert to run my Tik Tok account, but I cam only pay in hugs and affirmations.

I like that she's not shy about expressing her opinion.

I sat next to Patton Oswalt on a flight once. He was on his phone, so I did not speak to him outside of "excuse me" when I went to the lav.

My thoughts on this are no doubt due to my age, but I still love reading album reviews and live reviews, and also crave having my own music reviewed.

I agree. I still read music publications when I'm looking for something new to guide my choices. I also like reading reviews after I've listened to something, as I like to hear different takes on the music.

Messing around with "Promise" on piano. This is the first verse from the lead single on my sophomore album, released in 2020.

These people missed John 18:36

Norway again?

Mike Bankhead returns with powerpop single that defies explanation Aside from quantum mechanics, imaginary numbers, sophistry, crass political antics, and why there’s no M on your MTV, there are several things that Mike Bankhead can’t explain.

Mike Bankhead finds that the unexplainable can be fascinating.

It was awfully nice of the folks at Pandora ro add my latest single to their Tunesmiths & Troubadours radio station today. Thanks, Pandora!
