The Journal

Almost a quarter century of travel and time. Thinking out loud and to ourselves. Sometimes I regret what I say, but I figure it’s important we remember the stupid stuff too. Finding a way that the Journal can continue after a quarter century of existence (ish) has been a massive undertaking. I expect Susan to critique so that I can figure out how to make it work better for all of us!

    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… Read more: Worth Less.
  • 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… Read more: Dreams.
  • 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… Read more: The New Deal Cafe Open Mic.
  • The SPARK w Quiet the Mountain.
    A long night but a good one. Fabulous talent, plenty of new artists and FINALLY we get to have Quiet the Mountain! We do this every Tuesday, with or without me, at the SPARK at School of Musical Traditions (7112… Read more: The SPARK w Quiet the Mountain.
  • 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… Read more: No Skin on our Teeth.
  • 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… Read more: WTF is up with ilyAIMY.com?
  • 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…… Read more: The Music City Open Mic.
  • A1
    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… Read more: A1
