The Ringing in my Ears.
I slept in today. I’d like to say it was Lovely, but in truth, at the moment – “sleeping in” really only means lying in bed until the weight of inactivity begins to crush me. I wish it was relaxing, but it just feels like wasting time. I waste too much time. We’ve been working…

Worth Less.
Ugh. This concept of “worth” is still bugging me. At the root of “should I listen to AI music if it’s not harming me to do so” won’t leave my head because at the root of it it’s about what we value, right? And somewhere we’ve got to have a line… this is worth my…

Dreams.
I’ve been feeling a weight of stress that’s actually leaving me dizzy. Overwhelmed and tired and buzzed. Stuff with my mother, money, Life, the Universe, my career, the album, the next “tour”. I think I’m low-grade freaking out. Pulsing in my temples, buzzing in my ears, feeling like I’m always an inch off the ground.…

The New Deal Cafe Open Mic.
Tonight me and Joey Campfire / Joseph Swelterpants / host of the New Deal Cafe decided to swap open mic nights. I was pretty sure I’d have a good time, I was not incorrect. It was a much broader crowd than I’d expected, which is absolutely a great thing, and it really got my gears…

No Skin on our Teeth.
We’re driving home and I’m welcoming silence. I’m catching up on office work (a couple of “since _____ hasn’t responded to me, I’m copying rob” emails because I am my brother’s / sister’s / mother’s keeper) and filing files and checking math and updating income and expenses and sort of wishing I was going to…

July 9ths of the past.
Happy #throwbackthursday. I’ve basically just been nabbing any photos tagged as July 9th and throwing them to the winds of the world wide web… I have coherent photographic records by date going back to 2002.

WTF is up with ilyAIMY.com?
It’s “Pending”. It’s “In Progress”. It’s complicated. ilyAIMY.com will celebrate its 25th year in August, and over that time the hosting services I’ve used have been myriad. Not by intention, but because bigger businesses gobble up little businesses and as of earlier this year my hosting service had been purchased by one with a particularly…

The Music City Open Mic.
July 5th. How is it possible that this is my last open mic at Morsbergers till October? Somehow I piecemeal gave away my Sundays to gigs and festivals and clients and Special Events without realizing it and here we are… my last Morsbergers till October. I made a deadbeat dad joke, but I don’t feel…

Not ketchup. Get it? But I guess I could use this as an opportunity to talk about AI as well. As a sci-fi fan I’m not… entirely dissatisfied with the THING that is AI in our current timeline. I don’t mean I LIKE it per se, or don’t worry about it’s potential for abuse or…
