“Crispy Brain Candy,” a 5/4 maximalist construction, suitable for dancing, interspersed with temple bell resonances. A sort-of paean to a recently-deceased post-punk guitar hero. Bandcamp link in comment.

Hello friends. It's Bandcamp Friday, which means a purchase of my MuteAnt Sounds Netlabel release "New Wave Disco Ambulance Driver" will put more quarters than usual in the pockets of Jay Reeve and myself. (FYI that's how Bandcamp pays, in quarters, through the mail.) Lınk ın cºmments.
I'm not staring you're staring.

We drove up to the Mormon Temple, which gazes down on Oakland halfway up into the hills in Fruitvale. The lights were pretty great. Then we got some BBQ’d gorilla for the ride home.

A track from my new album on Muteant Sounds, “New Wave Disco Ambulance Driver.” A little prog, a little motorik. #newmusic #prog #krautrock #guitar

Forgotten Caravaggio masterpiece etntitled "My Big Ass."

My little alley cat friend is just about healed up. Thanks Tuesday Tattoo and also my daughter and wife for being impulsive walk-in tattoo customers. Inspired by the mascot of The Alley in Oakland, a piano bar open since 1931. #oakland #piano

This is a few years old, but still a pretty cool image. https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/photography/2020/12/longest-known-exposure-taken-by-makeshift-camera-forgotten-inside-uk-telescope

I reconnected a piece of gear I haven’t touched in about three years, and although it’s a little titchy, I like it with the Breezysound. #guitar #bayarea #oakland #musician #blues

I reanimated a tuning I used in the mid ‘80s (F A E E B B) for “Retroreflectorization.”

Ok, it's official: I am in love with my Polaroid camera. It is the worst piece of crap I've ever owned... but somehow it manages to surprise me nearly every time with overexposed images that have that certain je ne sais quoi... which is mutual because clearly the camera doesn't know what it's doing either.

@SutroTower, this one's for you. It was taken today - a perfectly sunny day - although you wouldn't know that from the way this picture turned out.

To no one’s surprise, Beavis and Butthead were charged by Fani Willis after being caught up in Trump’s Georgia election scheme. He is NOT paying for their defense, and they will remain in custody.

Their naughtiness batteries need recharging. #blackcat
