the one citypop album I can trust with 100% certainty hasn’t been touched by an ai algorithm

Drew here to once again state unequivocally: GameGrooves fundamentally rejects Generative AI, and I do not care to debate this subject. We do not do it, we will not do it. If we find you use GenAI on any track that is intended to be released under our catalog, we will remove your track. Period.

Starting my new gig in earnest tonight: I'm the new Assistant Conductor of the Nashville Symphony Chorus for the 2026-27 season. I rarely get stage fright these days, but I'm definitely a little nervous to step up in front of 150+ singers and wave my hands. Pretty excited, though

I’ve been hovering between 3,000-3,500 watch hours for several years now on YouTube, but for probably multiple reasons, I can’t clear the 4,000 threshold to reach monetized status. Better clear it before February, though, since it’s going up to 8,000

Losing my mind because I hear what I think is a text notification sound in my recording project, but only when listening to the full mix. It's not in any of the individual stems when I solo them out, but it magically appears when I play them all at once

the greatest tragedy of ai will be all of the kids who never become real artists because they exhausted their momentary hyperfixation by ordering up worthless slop about it instead of scribbling out some beautiful trash on their own and getting the drawing virus permanently

I know it's tedious to write out a cappella syllables for an entire arrangement, but just writing "da da da (etc.)" and then leaving the rest of the page blank is so lazy. Just write the "dahs"! Your 10 minutes of work will prevent a dozen, "Wait, what's the syllable?" questions in rehearsals.

Love to see whimsical audio equipment in the studio

A volume slider at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville. Instead of saying 0 to 10 on the scale, it reads “It’s Not On, Why Bother, Not Much, More, More More, Start Here, Way More, Broil”

I'm such a nerd for when baroque composers wrote one or two parts that hold a single note for a long time while everyone else does blisteringly fast runs, it's just so, so good

This algorithmic boost continues. My most recent two uploads on TikTok have a combined 140,000 views and I’ve gained over 2,000 new followers in the last two days. This is definitely making me reconsider my previous neglect of the vertical format

Bit into a filled donut earlier and somehow a huge glob of raspberry jam shot out and got stuck in my hair without me noticing I think it’s time for a haircut

Goldeneye N64 sometimes gets flak for not "aging well," but that doesn't take away from how important it was. I'll be clear, here. Goldeneye CHANGED video games—especially console shooters. It's not gonna hit as hard for new players, but it was WAY ahead of its time and I still enjoy it now.

The Bob-omb Battlefield cover on TikTok took me from 37K views in all of 2025 to 81K. Feels good to get an algorithmic boost every now and then!

A graph showing views on TikTok from January through December 17. The line is pretty uniform and small until December 10, when the line abruptly shoots up to almost 11,000.

In May of 2009, I uploaded my first cover: an a cappella version of Bob-omb Battlefield recorded in my college dorm room on my laptop microphone. It's so bad that's it's kinda funny in retrospect. I re-arranged and recorded a new version and it's dropping this Wednesday!

Saw Wicked 2 and it reminded me of that Bilbo Baggins quote about “butter scraped over too much bread”. Too much padding was required to split the story it into two movies. I can’t wait to watch the inevitable single-3-hour-film fan edit!
