here’s some extra pics from this week. i don’t claim to make the most interesting photo compositions, but these images are documentable nonetheless

are we done?
i think so. a week is a long time to be in the house. some have gone much longer, but im no thoreau. im just an obsessive thing-writer-downer, small-stuff-observer and plastic-knob-diddler. this shit backs up impaction-style until i need 7 or 8 days to decompress and get everything gridded out all Excel-like. but now it’s out. for this year. at least the musik part. daemons...
been fightin tyrnny for almost six days now
put the mics away for good.
sadly.
now onto mix anxiety. what has two thumbs and overthinks frequency spectrums…
easy to do when you’re mixing 3 instruments and not 8.
took some time out to do growed up stuff. pay bills mostly. and look outside at the rain and think hemingway stuff whilst rubbing my unkempt beard. my walk out to the mailbox is the only outside time i get. the...

welp.
circle of life and all that.
i recorded a bastard of a song today. no. make that WROTE and recorded a bastard of a song. this song, at one time called SCABIES, at another time PUNK TRASH, and at yet another time TOXIC MOXIC, blisters along for about a minute. three guitar tracks...
good lord i stink
well i did until this bath.
my house is a wreck. trash is stacked up in the corners. gnats are dying painful deaths drowning in my whiskey bottles. trying not to look my neighbors in the eye.
i have some really good shit on tape now. this fourth song, though, is still a bitch. but i have a soundtrack now for midwest trashcapade that im more or less proud of.
i went through four ideas today....
seein yellow
currently racking my brain trying to think of a fourth song. ‘talkin toxic holocaust blues’ is out, although i liked the apocalyptic title. fits with the bleakness of my theme. figured out a cool variation on House of the Rising Sun, but i’m not sure its what i need right now.
really happy with what i’ve got so far. its quite possibly the nastiest, sludgiest thing...
piano sound im happy with. im running everything...
moving quickly yessir
seems like i should be working harder but im actually getting a lot done. tracklist is looking like this:
-7Up and Whiskey
-Witch Doctoress
-She’s On Fire (As Hard As She Can)
-Talkin Toxic Blues
this is turning out to be the absurdist bluesy sludge-fest i had intended. i added four tracks of fuzzed out guitar to 7Up, over the three piano tracks (i have one more to go). i may...
Already a hole in my stomach
setup went rather fast. living room is demolished. piano is moved out from the wall. rug is rolled up. there’s already a hole in my stomach, feels like, from 7Up and Jack Daniels.
equipment list is as follows: chickering and sons upright piano, brandless floor tom, brandless acoustic guitar, electric guitar with marshall amp, yamaha s90 (for organ. wanted a real organ, but it was sold in...
