    After making 'Never Late than Better' during the pandemic, this was a full year in the making between long drives out to Thom Flowers (dude has produced the Ataris!) in Santa Barbara from Long Beach, getting lost (twice), piano shows, moving to the Northeast, and general dislocation and questioning-of-one's-life-choices.
    It took almost 2 years from my first album, but after both in-studio and home recording plus some talented mixing and mastering help, proud of the 6 songs here.
    The first track is a Wes-legacy song.
    I wrote it when I was about 19, and it went through several lyrical changes thereafter. It was called 'Shakespeare' for some reason; I could never find a title I liked. I stole a minor line from a Julian Lennon song about 'watching the shadows on my wall' and related it to the sense of the shadow that time casts over all of us; a shadow we learn to live with, even as we grow weary of it's sly presence.

    There's TMI, I am signing and sending one your way. High quality premium Ferric tape on a new Tascam unit via Mobineko. Lifetime of growing up making my own recordings on cassette, this is a real come-full-circle moment for me. Thanks for being here.

about

Maybe nothing is hardwired more in us than our need to belong - but how does this work on social media? From trolling to tribalism, finding your place isn’t easy when you feel alienated from the callous status quo of agree-or-get lost on Twitter. The lyrics to “I’ll be damned” are like an inside joke on fitting in, but feeling helpless against the Tech tide...

lyrics

How long - til the gods will decide my....fate ?
How far - til I'm thrown off the climb to my faith ?
Off to see the public square blood run
Pleased to meet the hangman before he's begun

I'll be damned, either-or meme
Programmed, can't-lose Ponzi scheme...
I'll be saved an AI dream...

Safe place - digitize me on a platform...(please)
Say grace - judged all wrong if you don't belong

Why ask why ? This is just how it's done
It's boring when you cry...pick a side it's more fun
