Monsieur Herr

It's that time of year!

I don't know enough about the J. Geils Band to know if they were any different before Love Stinks and Centerfold and stuff basically turned them into The Tubes or if they were always basically The Tubes. But I'm not sure I have the strength to find out

If Paddy McAloon knew about Pajama Sam in 1996 he would have written a musical adaptation of it because that's a very Paddy McAloon thing to do. We could have had the Prefab Sprout Pajama Sam record

Yeah I know this video is probably AI but it reinforces my preconceived notions about the world so it's fine. I am 50 years old

YouTube video by Monsieur Herr Monsieur Herr - I Distract Myself (Official Video)

Video for I Distract Myself out NOW!!! It's also on all the usual places for those who prefer their audio without video.

New thesis: Rattus Norvegicus is the misogynist Stranglers album, No More Heroes is the racist Stranglers album, and all the other Stranglers albums, but especially The Meninblack, are increasingly the funniest Stranglers albums (except for Aural Sculpture, the dumbest Stranglers album)

I DISTRACT MYSELF (in Futura Bold Oblique)

Good Molly, Miss Golly! There's going to be a new Monsieur Herr song and video tomorrow. This happens every now and again and we're still not used to it

Don't U Know It

Yesterday (w/help from my friend Jon) I made a hilariously truncated edit of one of the songs on my upcoming album (4:54→1:33) partly as an experiment to get a FLAC under 10mb and partly to turn it into Elvis Costello's Welcome to the Working Week and I'm seriously considering putting it out as a 7"

I hope nothing but good things continue to happen for Zohran Mamdani

Just think that we were only a couple years, a key change, and an absence of gated reverb + CS80 away from living in a very very very different world youtu.be/9YNufvgPP20?...

As we know, the moral of the Steely Dan story is that true perfectionism is futile, but the pursuit of it is one of the most compellingly human things imaginable. Also, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were insufferable jazz dorks and massive nerds (endearingly). This is why everyone loves Steely Dan

Acoustic Nebraska: The Hard Disk Blues (10/29/2025), by Monsieur Herr 10 track album

Happy early Halloween! Here is a document of how I spent yesterday afternoon:

Upon consideration I think Futura Bold Oblique may quickly be joining the ranks alongside Microgramma and Helvetica as one of my favorite fonts

"Millar Time™!" is when I listen to Slugbug

"It's Miller Time™!" - me about to listen to the work of Scott Miller of the bands Game Theory and the Loud Family (zero beers are involved)

Edited screencap from the unnecessarily artsy video for Holiday Road by Lindsey Buckingham. Lindsey in the background by the water cooler has been edited to look like Spamton from Deltarune, and the phone in the foreground is now Spamton's phone with the spotlight on it and everything

Just here to say that the next Monsieur Herr album is basically done and it's either going to be the best thing I've ever put out or the worst thing I've ever put out. Make of this what you will

Considering the idea that Television and Neil Young/Crazy Horse are the platonic ideal of two guitars/bass/drums rock groups for when you secretly wish you were jazz and when you want to hang out and make a lot of noise and see what happens, respectively

[A blinding light beams down from the sky, illuminating my body in a heavenly glow] "The Promise" by When in Rome is proto-Wii music

"The Cuervo Gold / the fine Columbian" and the 'Retha Franklin stuff are the obvious ones but lest we forget "Don't go for that cotton candy," "Szechuan dumplings," "I am holding the mystical sphere," pretty much all of the title track, pretty much all of My Rival ("stompin' time"), and so on

Considering the possibility that Gaucho may in fact be the funniest Steely Dan album, which is no mean feat considering how often Steely Dan tries and is largely successful at being funny. It certainly has the best (i.e. the most ridiculous) one-liners

Then again, David Lynch certainly is a singular Entity and he'll pretty much be around forever no matter what. But that doesn't make it any better

I'm still bummed out that David Lynch is no longer on this planet. Every time I'm reminded that he's gone I become irrepressibly sad. I'm not sure I'll ever not be sad about it

i love the idea that there’s definitely a few thousand people out there everyday that ask grok stuff like “is broccoli healthy”
