this is a spiritual war and i\\u2019m gonna win.

i am now officially only releasing music on overdubbed cassette. you can get it by a) mailing me cash or by b) finding me. all my old albums are gone from the internet.

many people have been asking about what \\u201cpromotion\\u201d i did when i released\\xa0the ghosts beneath our feet last year. so i thought i\\u2019d get some of those thoughts down while they\\u2019re still kinda in my head. making music is hard, publishing it is tedious, and promoting it is soul-crushing. hopefully some of these thoughts can help get you through the process with your own projects. otherwise, welcome to a mortifying peak into my melted mind. my sincere apologies for being annoying, mean, stupid, boring, embarrassing, cringe, depressive, unbearable, useless, etc. etc.

i\\u2019m a 39-year-old content moderator for one of the big five open source ai companies can\\u2019t tell you which one but basically my job is to analyze content and its associated metadata, and to work closely with the natsec and intel communities to identify anomalies and neutralize them.

how to be at peace. you gotta focus on the good stuff. you\\u2019re making music to make the people in your life happy. you\\u2019re making music to communicate how you feel to the people around you. you\\u2019re writing so you can learn about yourself and feel closer to yourself. you\\u2019re writing to remember, to sort out your life and how you feel and to internalize the memory of those feelings in a way that you can access in the future. you\\u2019re making records to have a document of this time. your voice, body, and brain will change and now is the only time you\\u2019ll be able to do this. you\\u2019re making a record so the people who care about you can feel close to you when you\\u2019re not around. you\\u2019re making a record so someone in a different time or place will find it meaningful and feel less alone. some of these things might not happen for thirty years, but you can only make the record now.

god bless each and every one of you:
