A melody that i wrote maybe 20 years ago that never went anywhere suddenly popped into my head today. I sat down with the guitar, now in a tuning I didn't play then, and...maybe there's something there.

I'm working on a record cover and shared a few concepts with my son and his response for three out of four of them was "too corporate" and while the choice is now clear I also understand I need to re-think everything.

The best trick to getting coverage for your music is naming your band after a music magazine. The Rolling Stones and Wire both figured this out ages ago. If you share a name, it’s much harder for them to ignore your emails.

Okay y’all, here we go. I launched the preorder for this early, since #BandcampFriday gets nuts. The next Philip K. Discs compilation is coming out in April on mini boomboxes. Preorders will be open until the end of a March and then they’ll be closed forever. If you want one, don’t sleep on it.

Today's delivery looks to be a gold mine. I love the brief quotes before the ragas, like the one for Bageshri here. One caveat - I'm working on pieces in two ragas which aren't covered here.
