Rambling answer to an anonymous question about songwriting that I think maybe abstracts out to a lot of art-making

One question was left over from yesterday: about how to practice when you don’t have access to an instrument (cameo vocals from Aug)

One last Q for the day: a gear question about my pedalboard

Ok! Pivoting to video, kind of! Shannon asked about minor chords. Here are my semi-informed thoughts

Quick acoustic instrumental run through Low’s “California”

Sloppy run-through of an idea I have that, on an electric, has kind of a Hermanos Gutierrez feel to it; I love playing it but it always feels like might not be rude enough to be a Ruffians song

Another music question: a robot bastard asked me if you need to learn theory to be outstanding

Still working through the music questions; here’s one about midi drums

Another music question! Cris asked about improvising

Over lunch I did another music questions video, answering a question about my Jazz Fridays thing

🕸️PATH TO NOWHERE🕸️ I’m sharing this secret with you know~! I’m the EN voice of Ayiguo, aka “Granny Goldspider” and A-Class Sinner, in Path to Nowhere! Much love to Julie, Kelsey, VoiceTrax West, and my team at Osbrink for taking such good care of Ayiguo and me!

Start with a spark of gratitude to flip the switch in your mind. Embrace forgiveness for your peace, not theirs. Everyone has a story, and you never know what battle they're fighting. #Gratitude #Forgiveness #FindYourPeace #gratitudeattitude #mindovermatter

Real wealth isn’t what you own; it’s how you feel when you wake up. It’s the slow mornings, the peace of mind, and the freedom to design a life that feels good on the inside, not just one that looks good on the outside. Stop chasing the "gold" and start embracing the "glow." 🌸

Jim Ratcliffe's claim that migrants have colonised Britain is classic billionaire projection. Billionaires' wealth depends on extracting value from workers' labour. We're all in this pyramid of the capitalist system, billionaires at the top, workers and migrants at the bottom.
