The Passover Sedar I attend has someone's family song parodies from the 90s and I've taken on the responsibility of playing these songs. One to Closing Time and one to Wonderwall. Both songs people do not usually want me to play on guitar.

Leaking the first We're In Our 30s single early for #BandcampFriday. This band is me (Craig Shay from Cold Wrecks and Answering Machine) and Elio (Knifethroat, God's Favorite) and we tried to write and record a bunch of goofy songs about being in our 30s. We recorded this in my basement.

The guy who invented it went on to invent a precise medicine dispensing system that Coke used to make the Coke Freestyle, so he did in fact end up creating one of the great inventions of our era

I turn 37 this month and just bought myself a new denim jacket. I'm surprised I don't have a Menzingers tattoo.

Negative Experiences
Quality Issues: Several users have reported issues with the quality of Tecca's products. One user shared, "Seriously fucked chairs", and another said, "Thing f**king exploded!".

Customer Service: There are complaints about Tecca's customer service being unhelpful and difficult to reach. "Just starting to hear whispers of a lot of bad shit about these guys, not worth getting involved."

"High above the city of New L.A. a team of terrorists has seized a building, taken hostages, and declared war. ONE MAN stands in their way. This Christmas, Doug Jones is Last Action Saru."

Abstract painting with reds and blues and a little black and green. It emerged as a figure in cloak with a large red collar or adornment, with a raven-like head looking to our left. And, a sort of large halo or sun perhaps behind it at the top, in red, blue, and white. Or, interpret it as it speaks to you of course- the beauty of abstracts.

a surprise: I painted this at a different orientation, turned it, & blinked a couple of times β€”here is Spirit of the Raven.

And as a programmer aren't there more effective means of automation? I know Python has libraries. I'm sure many features have already been created by others and may be publicly available for use.

Cold Wrecks

If you like this silly joke you might like my pop punk band Cold Wrecks

We say pop punk but it's more like The Lawrence Arms and The Menzingers. Songs Therapy and Crossing Sign kind of talk about drinking.

Hi, hello. By now you’ve figured out the record isn’t coming out two months ago, or even last month, I assume. I’m still not done with what I need to get done, it’s still not where I need it to be before release and I’m still claiming all responsibility for it not being finished as well as making the awful move of announcing two intended release dates/windows before being happy with it. I simply need more time, and despite my best efforts and best intentions, the record simply isn’t finished yet. There’s been too much hard work and too many long hours put in by too many talented and fine folk on this massive slab of music for me to do anything less than nail the final pieces of the puzzle. Not even sure what that is supposed to mean but you get the picture. I apologize, again, tail tucked firmly between my legs, head bowed in shame and embarrassment. I’m not going to make any more predictions about when the record will be out because we’ve all seen how that ends, but it is in fact close to done. It’s just not actually done yet. Next time you hear about it, it will be finished. No one wants to hear about something that isn’t done and is long overdue and has been promised for way too long, that has finally sunk into my thick skull. Again, I’m sorry, it’s coming soon, I humbly ask for a little more time to get it right. Hugs and kisses, singer dork Kalnoky.
