Once a year, a carnival rolls into town beneath a blood-red moon, its lights flickering and its rides creaking in the cold night air. Nobody remembers who built it, and by sunrise, nobody remembers exactly what happened there. What music do you hear from it? This weeks theme, #HauntedCarnival

7:20 at night, the app says 88f, but my thermometer outside (always in the shade) says 95. Dude this is ridiculous

In 2020, Andrew McGee & I came up with the idea to gather musicians from @musicweeklies.bsky.social to perform a song we'd written. As everything rolled around and the years have brought an even tougher world, I think it's time to give this #feelgood track another shout. #music #realmusicians

Sitting in your armchair, surrounded by a thick cloud of smoke, you’re deep in thought, staring into space, when suddenly an idea pops into your head : it’s elementary! Well, musically speaking, how does that sound? New theme is #SherlockHolmes 🔎

It’s kind of a ray of sunshine that Coyote Vs. Acme has kept showing up on trending over the past week. You like 90s courtroom dramas? Underdog stories with Greek myth allusions? Barrister wigs made of cartoon dynamite? Go see the movie 🧨

I know it's been said before, but if you're struggling with the *everything*, consider making something. It won't make the everything go away, but you'll feel good about what you made, and that one thing will be far more good than the evil fuckwits have ever produced in their lives.

Back in June I was commissioned to write a piece for wind ensemble for San Diego New Music. I don’t know why I thought about writing a piece about logging onto the internet in the 1990s but here we are. I hope it gives you a chuckle, and if you’re old enough, visceral memories.

It's gonna be Bandcamp Friday soon. I encourage you to go and support your favorite artists by buying their music (and also leave a review). On Friday, we all get all of the album revenue. Help artists out in an increasingly artist hostile world.
