Cool Dad Raising Daughter On Media That Will Put Her Entirely Out Of Touch With Her Generation RENTON, WA—Local man Paul Campbell confirmed Saturday he was raising his daughter Emma on a variety of media carefully selected to help her cultivate an appreciation for artistic quality, a move that ...

Some great stuff here! It’s so cool when your kids develop great taste - my son blows me away with his choices sometimes. Although I am reminded a bit of this: theonion.com/cool-dad-rai...

Mostly took that POV because there are plenty of songs saying "get in the streets and take action" - as there should be - but it's when the uninvolved start agreeing that we know we're winning

And here 'tis! Writing from the perspective of the random guy in the bar who sees what's happening with the world and says "I'm not an activist, but this is WRONG". www.instagram.com/reel/DT6Soyv...

That's good to hear! I need to revisit some older work in progress.

For me the triumph this week has been getting a video out...although, honestly, I think my hat is the star of the video, and I'm just riding along in its wake. But it's a good hat and I'm happy to just be associated with it.

When I was a kid our gander chased everyone. Until the day he decided to attack my father’s pickup truck coming home. There was not a lot of mourning

I Drink my Whiskey Neat (I Don't Like ICE)

“You can see it on the TV, you can stream it on your phone
But when you see it with your own eyes they’ll deny it to the bone”

I Drink My Whiskey Neat (I Don't Like Ice)

Dropped now if you want to add it. open.spotify.com/album/6FAyFk...

I’m not gonna jump on hating Geese after SNL because I barely know anything about them. But it would have been cool if Teyana had said “Ladies and gentlemen, geese!” and the curtain had raised to reveal an actual flock of geese.

Already on Bandcamp, Insta, TikTok. Drops on Spotify and other streaming services tomorrow.

Perhaps they got brie and bris confused, with tragic results

I Drink my Whiskey Neat (I Don't Like ICE). An original song, hope it brings you some comfort in these times. #songwriter#protest#musicvideos #musicians TikTok video by russ.somers

Great selection! This one, dropping on Spotify on Thursday. www.tiktok.com/@russ.somers...

I just hope both teams have fun

If we ever start a band together, we’ll be called Budget Hot Rods

Looks like a great guitar! So much character.

Knobs are set exactly the way I set my Jazz Bass…neck pickup full on, bridge at 2/3, tone rolled all the way off. So I like your son and also I think about guitars way too much

No time for subtlety. Here's the payoff line.

Song on bandcamp, full video on socials right here: www.tiktok.com/@russ.somers...

My dog isn't very well trained either, btw. And he's fine...chill with people, just not a follower of commands.

A dog that jumps on people, isn’t housebroken, and won’t respond to commands is poorly trained.

A dog that viciously attacks people is not just “poorly trained.”

This post is not about training dogs.

Thank you, Stephanie!

Thank you!

Every day these days is a day to repost this, but today it needs to be reposted 100x or more. Stay strong, King Teen!

Didn't plan to launch this on such a tough day, but here we are. I Drink My Whiskey Neat (Cause I Don't Like ICE), now song. Hope it brings some comfort, southern or otherwise, in these times. #songwriter #musician #protest

full vid on tiktok & insta, song on Bandcamp (coming soon to streamers)

Brilliant.

Meet the new fashioned, same as the old fashioned

Greenland?! Fuck, dude, you can’t even control Minneapolis. Sad!

Thank you!

A drinking song for today’s headlines. Coming Thurs Jan 29, if the distributor moves quickly enough. Bandcamp plus the usual streaming places.

Fixing to release a new song - recorded and mastered it today and shot video footage as well.

Recording, mixing, and mastering all in one session is a TERRIBLE idea. Except when it works, which it did.

Bookmark this post 🤣

Thank you for having the courage to speak up against such sensual verbosity

I am using the bridge pickup on my Strat for a solo I’m working on. I normally can’t abide the bridge pickup. But it works for this.
