There has been some warm reception of this compilation of my solo music from a quarter century ago, you can listen anywhere. paulbuchholz.bandcamp.com/album/rough-...

I’ve basically lost all interest in writing any song lyrics that involve fiction or fantasy. Can still enjoy them, but can’t write them.

Tom Waits’ Bone Machine is so fucking awesome and I’ve always thought this

The slacker aesthetic has resulted in lyrics that are so much worse than anyone is willing to admit

Took my Martin D1 (purchased 1999) to the luthier for neck reset and refret, he said the frets are “worn down to nothing,” said it’s a “guitar that tells a story” 😔

It is pretty sobering when you see hard evidence of how much more excited people can get about cover bands than ones writing new songs.

Full respect for a songwriter who posts *60 seconds* of an unreleased song and the government feels the need to put out a statement on it.

The number of people who have independently compared my voice to Bob Mould’s has passed into “statistically significant”

I really like Amazing Radio (it isn’t extractive or scammy like so many platforms for independent artists are, and you can actually get broadcast) and now we’re apparently #2 on their UK website, with “In There Somewhere.” www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ALkwqp/

Policy for the new batch of songs I’m working on is, if it doesn’t make me cry, it isn’t good enough

Oh wow, if someone literally *buys* our EP on iTunes, we actually see that money

Unhappily felt. There's almost 0.00% difference between us and the Cleveland/ Midwestern bands we grew up watching, in the 70's and 80's and 90's; + yet they're appreciated, even revered (some more than they ever were then), + we're ignored or scorned, by the same people. Ngl, it wears on you.

Just speculation but I feel like the heavily diminished role of live music in bars and cafes has generally eroded the idea of a “local band” in many people’s minds (even though there are still tons of local bands). So bands that exist without any claim to fame or all-out virtuosity look weird.

Coming to terms with the fact that I’m not really interested in the sorts of rock music that have completely and totally disavowed any roots in the blues
