I need drums on this track! If anyone would be interested in taking a crack at it, please reach out.

For context:

I just re-discovered this track I wrote and recorded several years ago. Lost the stems and don't feel like re-recording for the time being but I think it's good enough quality to record alongside.

Maybe I should start playing again, what do you guys think?

Well gawldang has it been a whole minute! But I'm still, just had some other things to spend my time on. Since I royally goofed on the episode with David 'Grass' Handy, I'm gonna try to schedule him on sometime in the next week or two. Other than that, I have a few folks in the works for new episodes.

As I've said before, if you're interested or know someone who would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out! You can do so by DM here or email [email protected]

Live Oak Moonshiners Episode is live on YouTube and al the audio streaming locations. Here's the YouTube link:

We covered a decent amount of ground on this one. We talked about the music these fellas are making, the music they're into, addiction and recovery, the CIA ...

Newest episode will be live tomorrow with Caleb Deschaine and Cody Ellinger of Live Oak Moonshiners, a rock band out of Waco, TX looking to make some waves in the Texas music scene.

Covered some crazy ground and talked about all sorts of stuff.

They're also holding auditions for lead guitar and bass, so find them on any social media under Live Oak Moonshiners and hit them up if you're interested.

19/02/2023

Our players have arrived in Hither within the Domain of Prismeer!

(Tomorrow I'll have an actual podcast episode up with Caleb and Cody from Live Oak Moonshiners AND I should have a book review episode out this week for 'Trust me I'm Lying')

Until I have Grass on again, be sure to check out his work!

Welp. I committed the ultimate podcasting / audio engineering folly on this episode. I accidentally left my onboard microphone on in addition to my external mics as well as what seems like some desktop audio or something I don't know. But it was all recorded into one track and there is an unbearable echo and a weird beeping every few seconds throughout the entire hour... ☹️

I'm so bummed by this dude because it was a GOOD episode. I hadn't really sat down and talked to Grass in a long while and there were definitely some memories jogged in the process and fantastic conversation about art in general.

I will try to get another sit down with Grass planned out but I'm afraid it won't be quite the same. Dude. This is honestly a motivation killer, I thought about just packing it all in and being done with the whole thing. That's how much of a bummer this is.

Sorry for yet another delay in getting another episode out. 😤

My guest David Handy will be on today, but the show won't actually be available until tomorrow!

Anyway, as I mentioned in the last post, David has done the artwork for TWO different bands I was in: Goliath and The Affinity Index (it was my first guest Weston Dodd who ended up taking my place on guitar, and then 3/5th of TAI, Weston's brother Cody and myself who ended up forming Ghost Dance Band 😉)

Here's the artwork for The Affinity Index that we had made into various merch AND stage props. I described what I was looking for and David went right to work and I got so pumped when I saw it because it was EXACTLY what I was looking for! (I'll show the Goliath art on the show and post it afterwards for those just listening..)

06/02/2023

Had a series of unfortunate events there for a bit but we're back at it!

My next guest is my good buddy David "Grass" Handy! He's a bad m**o with the brush AND the needle and we're gonna talk about what made him who he is, why he does what he does, and what inspires him!

David has also done the artwork for TWO different bands I was in and they were siiiiick pieces at that. I'll get those up when I can find them, but until then, feast your eyes on these!

If you like what see and you're looking for ink (or commissions!), you can catch him up at Embrace the Chaos Tattoo Studio

Too cold and nasty to go to work or school? Stuck at home for the time being?

What a perfect time to pick up a book and crawl under some blankets.

I'm concurrently reading these three (with 'Blood Meridian' still on audio).

As the name implies, 'A Calendar of Wisdom' by Leo Tolstoy consists of daily quotes from great texts for every day of the year. The first thing I do when I wake up is roll over, turn on my lamp and read the page that corresponds to the given day. It really does serve for great inspiration for the day.

Then throughout the day, when I take breaks from work, I read 'Trust Me I'm Lying' by Ryan Holiday. It contains a lot of evidence and case studies for a lot of what I assumed has been going on for decades. The catastrophizing of news and journalism and the advent of 'fake news'. It's a great read. Incredibly frustrating and sometimes anger inducing, but great.

At the end of the day, when I'm trying to wind down and get all the coding and other daily mumbo jumbo out of my head, I like to read a chapter or two of 'The Creative Act: A Way of Being' by Rick Rubin. He is a wizard of his craft and there is a lot of sage wisdom from his expansive career embedded into this book. It's a lot of fun.

You don't have to be ridiculous and read more than one book at once. Just pick something and dive in. Stay safe and warm out there. Onward and upward.

Apologies. I haven’t posted in a while. Kind of goofed on some scheduling so my next guest isn’t until the first week of Feb.
In the meantime, I’ve been reading a ton and now.. it looks like I’ve been talked into DMing again. It took coaxing but I’m doing it now and I’m excited to flex the creative muscle to improv and perform as the various NPCs in the campaign!

This is my introduction to a new series of short book reviews I'll be doing.

A brilliant undertaking that showcases the 'two minds', system 1 and system 2. System 1 being the instinctual, often biased knee-jerk reaction to situations ...

This was a FANTASTIC episode! Had a really good conversation with Bryan about writing: the process, the ups and downs, putting in the work, and everything between. Also came away with FOUR more books to add to the collection! Episode should be up on all platforms by noon tomorrow (1/13/23)

My next guest is Mr. Bryan Gifford, an author with several published novels under his belt!

He specializes in the art of fantasy, with character development and world building at the forefront, but not to be outdone, a twist is always lurking ‘round the bend!

The show tomorrow will be postponed as one of the guests has to go like.. watch his lady birth their child or something trivial like that.

That’s okay though, we’ll reschedule and I’ll have the honor of nursing a hangover tomorrow instead of doing a show!

I’ll call these Fault Line Mules

05/01/2023

My next show will have two guests: Caleb Deschaine and Cody Ellinger of Live Oak Moonshiners

Live Oak Moonshiners was described to me as a band of fu**ed up people trying to let others know it's okay to be a little fu**ed up.

I think I'll call this one "three dudes, two mics"

Dustin Brown sings sad songs that range from relationships, family circumstance, geographically folly, and life in general. He's a born storyteller and fantastic singer / songwriter.

I'm excited to have him come on the show to discuss his art and what goes into it. The episode will be available this Saturday 12/31.

Check out the video below to get a glimpse of his sound and once you've released how thoroughly entertained you are by it, subscribe to his channel and take a gander at all his sonically magnificent offerings.

This demo has small clips from each song on Dustin Browns sophomore album Pull'n Teeth.Be sure to check out his channel:

Guested on another podcast today to talk about the show. Not at liberty to discuss at details but it should be out sometime early next year, I'll update as I receive more details!

My next guest is Dustin Brown who is the creator of my current best good favorite song. We’ll be recording the episode later this week and hope for it to be a NYE ball dropper 😉

Check out my favorite off his latest record Pull’n Teeth:
