Get ready HypochondriTok, we’re gonna self-diagnose and second guess and self-diagnose and second guess and self diagnose and…

New release to send 2025 into the depths of hell where it belongs: Walking With Weapons
One of the less obvious reasons this year was so terrible for me is that work with The Cancellations ground to a halt. There was a perfect storm of internal disinterest, professional-level ghosting, and depression that kept anything worthwhile from happening after our last couple shows in November of 2024. In fact, this song isn’t…

We’re All Gonna Die!
I had an idea. And then I lost my mind for a week. When I got it back, I had apparently learned pixel animation well enough to create this lyric video for The Cancellations’ song “We’re All Gonna Die” that we released in August of last year. What better way to ring in 2025 than…

storytime 2024 (things i read this year)
I read a lot this year, thanks to the Libby app and my very-abused Kindle. Some were library recommendations, lots came from Goodreads (boo) and Storygraph (yay). Some came from friends, some I just picked because there was a dog on the cover or the description mentioned Chicago or Nashville. I HAVE MY REASONS (by…

New Release: “Darker Down Here”
I wrote this song the day I heard about Anthony Bourdain’s suicide, but never had the courage to record it until last month. I was reading through an old conversation with Derek, my close friend & guitarist, and this was one of the last demos I’d sent to him before he died in 2018. It’s…

New Release: RIOTBARD
My dearest friendo Chandon (also known as Alternate Genital Me) just released this cathartic in-the-arena-of-punk-but-touching-on-many-related-genres EP that covers everything from body image to loneliness during this last year of pandemic hell. I’m guesting with some vocals on the track “Introverts,” and you may notice Mr. Maybe dropping some tormput doots on “Mask.” If you’re looking…
