A promo image for Marc With A C's Steamed Hams album physical releases on LP, CD, and cassette.

This is why I'm so proud to create packaging and design for modern physical media releases with artists like @marcwithac.bsky.social and labels like @needlejuice.bsky.social who understand the importance and dimensional beauty of art as objects. marcwithac.bandcamp.com

I'm not really sure how much I want to talk about personal things in the open going forward. Much of it's so depressing, and there's enough of that in the world. I mostly haven't gone quiet (beyond publicity) for one reason: for some reason, people get nervous when I go silent.

Considering it.

I’m an absolute slow baby when I have a high fever and I forgot to tag @jenn.discfive.com directly, my apologies! Jenn rules and I love their style of music journalism

Disc Five did the best and most thorough article on Marc With a C and it probably answers more questions about what I do/have done than any other one-stop you might try. Jenn flatters and humbles me at www.discfive.com/marc-with-a-c/

Please enjoy while I try to feel better this week, rough day!!

Thank you. It sucks. You were probably on cast at similar times, and... well, at least she can't hurt me again if I keep that door locked!

Unwrap an all-beef cassette loaded with juicy tracks! 🍔 I'm so delighted by how the cassette packaging I designed for @marcwithac.bsky.social's Steamed Hams came out. 😭♥️
This video only shows half the story... 👀🥩

You haven’t even dipped your toes in the world of Steamed Hams until you acquire a physical copy. Jace from @needlejuice.bsky.social made this video to show you part of the cassette layout by @catblackard.bsky.social !

My amazing friend just dropped a new album and its awesome!! Can't wait to get home from tour and blast it! Check this out!!

This is real life now I guess

Steamed Hams, by Marc With a C 16 track album

You might be tired of me bringing this up, but it's extremely important to me, and I think it could have some serious legs for many people I know, as well. Some of the music is dreamy, sometimes painful. Please consider being good to your earholes?

Today's the day! Today's the day! Today's the day! Get yourself an unforgettable audio luncheon! 🍔I did the album art for this record (and the companion EP, Steamed Clams - shhh! 🤫) and if you buy it as physical media, you'll find this record is both visually and sonically revealing. 🐛🥩

The main cover is made from abstract figure studies I did in college which were damaged by a basement flood and mid-century psychiatric materials given to be by a friend from his mom's former business. This is layered, textured human art. Every fragment of it tells a story.

🍔 Steamed Hams by Marc With A C is out everywhere! 16 catchy indie pop tracks that will run you through a rollercoaster of emotions.

🐛 Check out the bonus EP Steamed Clams too!

CDs/tapes NOW SHIPPING! Vinyl will ship in 4 weeks. Get it now from Needlejuice!

Steamed Hams, by Marc With a C 16 track album

The Northen Lights happened the same week that @marcwithac.bsky.social's STEAMED HAMS album came out. Can not be merely a coincidence.

Album is on the Fy of Spot’s, the Prime of the digital rainforest, the Tube of You, the Camp of Bands — this one means everything to me. I hope it impacts you positively. Love you, and can’t wait for you to hear it!

A special thanks to @catblackard.bsky.social for amazing artwork that you truly haven’t begun to REALLY see, and also to RNotte for making some amazing music videos for the record.

Today is the day that Steamed Hams is officially released! Shipping starts soon, and @needlejuice.bsky.social has your back for that.

A friend I met in 2004 in the Rich Weirdoes dropped me over my illness and that I can't do things today too, even went and posted that it didn't bother them to cut me out. It sucks.

Literally pivoted from "I wouldn't care if you were in an iron lung" to blocking me and posting that they don't care that they dropped me?

I literally couldn't matter less and I'm sick of it

I get to go sob through my listening party now. They were so heartless on this

Really upset still, days later, but?

Here's something I left out: I deeply appreciate the people who reach out to just show that you remember I exist. You have NO idea what that has meant to me. The folks trying to get me to go out and do things are just being so unrealistic that I'm flabbergasted.

Did you find the surprise early appetizer? We hope it tides you over until the Steamed Hams listening party at the MWAC Bandcamp tonight at 5:30 PM EST!

Freezing In Florida, by Marc With a C from the album Maybe It'll Be Good: The Best Of Marc With a C!

Well, it's...

Please, take me seriously. It's been half a decade now.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.
