December 25th, 2024. This is NOT Christmas.
I apologize that I’ve got nothing uplifting to write about. Christmas Eve dawned with snow on the ground and that brought joy unto me as only snow can, but the day before I’d been undermined. I try to avoid vaguebooking, but unfortunately, I don’t have any way of avoiding it in this case outside of…

December 25th, 2024. THIS is Christmas Tho.
Ha! Thanks mom! I had NO IDEA this existed! Christmas via my brother continues strange. In fairness I got HIM a game called Necromolds which is sort of like Warhammer with Playdoh. It snowed Christmas Eve and I was enraptured. The closest we’ve come to a White Christmas in YEARS. But Christmas Day was subdued.…

December 24th, 2024. This is Christmas Eve (at the Takoma SPARK open mic w Fold Up Your Chairs).
It ain’t much – but it’s the closest thing to a white Christmas we’ve seen in years! Kristen’s crashing at Jillian Matundan’s (and it sounds like they’re having more fun than should strictly be allowed) so I’m appreciating this on my lonesome. Happy Christmas eve breakfast omelet to me! Ha – a little bit of…

December 21st, 2024. Happy Solstice!
Rebecca Berlin’s coming over to record vocals for her upcoming releases. This was last Friday and I’d been kinda worried whether or not I was actually helping. I mean… I have mics and decent gear, but especially when it comes to vocals, I don’t know that I have anything CRAZY. However, having an outside ear,…

December 18th, 2024. And then…
Coping by cooking. And today it’s Elon Musk. We’re back to wealthy white men brazenly gripping the reins of power. Everyone reported what’s on Twitter like it was important until it became important. And now a Tweet … an X … whatever, from the owner of the platform brings Congress to a halt like a…

December 17th, 2024. The SPARK w Phillip Hough.
Before heading down to the Spark tonight I did some Keola and Heather recording for Heather’s song “Caliber”. We made some music, grabbed some tacos, made some music, and then I went south to Takoma Park to make some music. I apparently wasn’t in the mood to take a lot of photographs, I guess mostly…

December 14th, 2024. You are NOT Batman.
Our first roof leak. I put a bucket underneath the length of the dripping, and I think we got off pretty easily because we probably noticed it almost immediately, but … meep. Huh. AND a little weird mushroom… Luigi Mangione. Like many on the internet, I can’t condone what he’s done in the shooting of…

December 11th, 2024. The Rain Pours Down + the SPARK w Howling at the Earth.
All of these will be on the new album. Got a moment to explore the construction down in Ellicott City because it was time to go explore the construction down in Ellicott City. Well, I WAS going to write about how grey it’s been and about how spectacular the fog had been all of yesterday,…
