PRE-ORDER Avi Engel “Seedhead” cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/seedhead @aviengel.com ’s “Seedhead” is a slow-burning, folk-infused song cycle that weaves voice, electric guitar, field recordings, and collaborative instrumentation into an ecological threnody and spiritual meditation.

These are some solid tips, I appreciate it. 🌱

Feeling so down about the state of the world, AI, etc, & have a sense of pointlessness and doom that has gotten entrenched & hard to shake at this point. What is your antidote/coping strategy (if you have one)?

good to know - small is probably ok for this space.

thanks! this one keeps coming up in my research.

thanks! all-in-one would be really good. will look in to these amps you mentioned. I do own a tiny busking amp, but I think it's a little too small for the space.

thanks! do you know offhand what the brand of your stick PA is?

Avi Engel @aviengel.com · 02/09/2026

Any advice re: what sort of PA system/amp I should rent for a quiet outdoor back patio show? Solo vox + electric guitar. (I miss the one good aspect of FB, where I could post something like this and invariably get at least 5 or so answers, often with an argument erupting in the comments...)

I just saw this, & it really brightened my week. I recall wondering why I got a bunch of new listeners early in the year. Shows the power of radio made by humans! Thank you @themountaingoats.bsky.social and @eastvillageradio.bsky.social

Dropped the middle C initial in my name, and while I anticipated that this might confuse people, what I didn't anticipate was how many people would just hallucinate it and keep referring to me as Avi C. Engel. The C is now officially gone! 👋

That does sound annoying :( I mainly remember my weirdest and most disturbing dreams. I've never kept a dream journal (thought about it after reading Roz Chast's "I Must Be Dreaming" recently).
