Been a few months since I’ve played a live show but at least I have my number one fan in the audience playing bass here…

I am really touched by the outpouring of love for Mari after her passing. She is my angel now and I miss her dearly but she is finally home. The flowers, cards and more have shown how much Mari touched the lives of others.

After the worst week of your life so far, sometimes you just need to take a break and jam with friends and make some amazing music together

After 19 years at Microsoft, this week I say goodbye to the place I called home for those many years. I cherish all the memories and all the friends and colleagues along the way but it’s time for a new adventure elsewhere when I’m ready. Thanks to everyone who went along on the journey with me!

Heartbroken today as Mari crossed the rainbow bridge today. She fought bravely against cancer and a bit chunk of me feels missing today. She was the best friend and companion I could have ever asked for.

It’s been a tough year for Mari with her cancer but we have made it to her birthday! Some days are better than others and I can sincerely say Fuck Cancer! Here’s hoping to more days ahead with fingers crossed!

Been a rough week for Mari and me with my mom in the hospital and Mari going through new chemotherapy, but our journey continues with my best bass guitar tech I’ve ever had!

Poor puppy has such bad allergies this time of year which isn’t helped by her mast cell tumors

Nice! I was thinking about it but Merrifield was nice enough plus getting on my plant shopping for the year

Never thought I’d be in several bands at my age as a bassist but here I am in addition to my job at Microsoft but getting to play like my bass hero Mike Watt with some post punk is a lot of fun!

λ Calrissian - Matthew Podwysocki (He/H @podwysocki.org · 29/03/2025

Hard to believe it’s been a year since Mari was diagnosed with cancer with mast cell tumors and began treatment. I’m so lucky and grateful to everyone that she is still here and has a great quality of life! Fingers crossed that our journey continues!

Kind of a bummer we don’t celebrate Tłusty Czwartek here in America, but at least we have Pączki Day on Fat Tuesday

Remembering my dad on what was his birthday, right after mine! I couldn’t have asked for a better dad and I miss him every day!

Another birthday is here but not feeling any older that’s for sure! But taking it easy with some bass and some record playing! At least it’s National Margarita Day so enjoy responsibly if you partake!

And an S-1 that I love as well. I love how the S-1 has become the guitar of Angel Olsen nowadays! But yeah the Marauder is easily a favorite of mine!

Does copious amounts of petting the dog and playing music work?

Been a rough couple of weeks for Mari with her earlier rounds of chemo failing to produce results so off to a new round of therapy with a new treatment for her mast cell tumors. But nothing seems to affect her spirit as she is as happy as ever!

Wishing everyone a very Mari and a very Merry Christmas where as you get older you appreciate socks, clothes and even books of Ukrainian poetry. It’s been quite a year and I hope for the best for you and your loved ones on this day

Apologies for the silence here as Mari has been dealing her with cancer surgery, so my days are filled with her and of course coding and playing bass. Fingers crossed for her that her cancer hasn’t further spread

Right there with ya! Haven’t cracked the bottle yet since it is a Christmas gift

Always fun to jam out on stage last night on bass! I’ve played guitar for over 20 years but somehow find bass a little bit more fun, don’t know why

Me being a dog bed for Mari with her cone of shame is hard work. Hopefully soon it comes off after her post surgery checkup

Poor Mari has been a bit depressed being in the cone of shame after her mast cell tumor removals so she deserves all the head rubs

This one here, the WRC, was designed by Wayne Charvel when he was working for Gibson Labs but they were sued by Jackson who owned Charvel. You can definitely see his influence there

I love the Bill Lawrence designs from the 70s and 80s using the Flying V headstock for both bass and guitar.

Celebrating GibSunday properly with my Gibson Marauder. Sometimes the weirder the guitar the more fun it is, like the S-1 as well

I guess my brushing up on my Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian took up a bit of my time but helped me communicate better with friends and family. Still annoys me they focus on the what instead of the why with learning
