And if you can't afford an mp3 or FLAC file in these troubled times, consider using one of my songs in a TikTok, Facebook or Instagram post from time to time. My dog and I got groceries today thanks to royalties from people doing that, and it was very appreciated. Thanks for your consideration.

I have a ton. This one was almost called Phil and Molly, because it was inspired by Phil Collins and um... something else. Also, it's @bandcamp.com Friday, so you picking up a track or all ten albums would sure help a fella out.

One of the nice things about not drinking alcohol very much anymore is that a glass of wine with a grilled supper effs a Mothra effer right the eff up. Apologies if I make out with your partners. We will keep it PG-13 out of respect to you. Respect, y'all.

I saw Dolly Parton give a concert when I was a kid in the 90s. I didn't yet know what a force for good in the world she was. I knew she was a prolific songwriter, and I thought the show might be cheesy fun. But she was amazing and I became a big fan of her artistry. I hope she's with Carl again. RIP

Dedicated to the white boomer lady in my neighborhood who refuses to leash her dog, (or pick up its poop) that always tries to attack and bite my leashed dog. Then she tries to make me the bad somehow. Cheers.

I did a squee noise when I saw you here. A very macho squee noise. It feels weird that there have been two House of El major notion pictures since we last spoke. Unacceptable, truly.

This is what I did with the public domain poem Revelation by Aldous Huxley, a decade ago after getting hung up on and then taking liberties with his line, "I taste the Apocalypse on your pretty finger tips."

Walking rails to trails with doggie and came across someone who should be the exception to the rule to never photograph strangers. 70ish fella wearing a Funkadelic Magot Brain tee watching Family Feud on his phone & laughing his ass off. Gotta grab that joy where you can find it. Even in the woods.

About 85% of my songs were named something not in the lyrics. Of course, a lot don't have any lyrics either. This one does and was named for an elderly couple I read a tragic story about in the newspaper.

I love that joke, but sort of have a song arguing the opposition, that sometimes a sandwich is merely a sandwich. "No gender rolls from the bakery, let's fill each other up when we're hungry."

After going down a huge Phil Collins rabbit hole a decade ago, I got in touch with brilliant drummer friend Chad Lenig and asked if he would set up every tom he owned & play on this instrumental track I almost called Phil & Molly.

I wish I didn't prefer living alone only because all of my good recipes feed around four servings. An art teacher once told me Georgia O’Keeffe & Alfred Stieglitz lived in next door houses and that has been my dream marriage ever since. I don't want a trad wife. I want a rad wife with her own life.

Thanks to anyone who has been streaming my new album on Spotify, Deezer, Tidal and Pandora. The songs Constantine and Vasectomy Song seem to be the ones. Probably won't buy me a sandwich or a pharmacy copay, but maybe a coffee I didn't make myself. For that kindness, I thank you.

Disability or trauma or PTSD or drama, we don't always see the albatross around other people's necks. I know personally that patience and kindness mean the world to me. I hope we can all find it in us to extend those to others. We have no idea, even with friends, what others are suffering.

Other than climate change, no more pollution regulation and my own aging, I don't know what has changed, but in the last couple of months it has become so much more severe and debilitating. I am not asking for sympathy though. Just awareness. Not every person's pain is worn on the sleeve.

Michael Salamone @michaelsalamone.com · 06/07/2026
I don't deserve to pontificate on Disability Awareness Month because mine are of the invisible sort & I spent most of my life masking all of it. One of them involves chronic pain, which started when I was 18, and I self medicated for successfully until going mostly sober around six years ago.

A homie texted a reminder that I actually do have a song that mentions 4th of July. My bad. As was blowing it with the amazing woman this song was about because I hadn't processed enough trauma yet when we intersected.
