My first EP is out and available in the usual places. Released through DistroKid, which gets it to Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, YouTube Music, etc. I also posted it on my Bandcamp page. Wherever you find it, you should be able to give it a listen for free, and only plunk down $ if you think it’s something you’re gonna want to keep listening to.

Bandcamp.

Spotify.

YouTube.

Etc.

The Twitch livestream mentioned in the previous post did in fact take place, and since livestreams don’t hang around, here’s my piece of the show preserved for posterity on YouTube. Details and caveats are listed in the description. I enjoyed doing it, and the room for improvement is infinite. I’ll also think differently about how to write music that is meant with live play in mind.

Right now all three tunes for the “Sombre Hombre” EP have been mixed, and in addition we’ve got final masters for the Mort Solár EP (the first of two planned for this year).

When I started playing around with music in 2020, I figured it would be at least three years before I was doing anything worth subjecting other people to. So, I’m on schedule basically. Meanwhile, there’s a lot of terrible early stuff preserved here, like a musical livejournal of my first experiments.

A standout line from Momofuku, the best Elvis Costello album in years. Really, the best since Spike.

And while we’re at it, I’m glad to see that this has been captured somewhere, however briefly.

For the full story of Arm of Roger, one must investigate the obscure corners of Grandaddy history.

Edit: Oops. There’s nothing there. It is the first song here, however. Followed by the rest of the album.

Long stream of webmeandering led me back to this, a favorite Rasputina song from a dozen years ago. Not sure how long you’ll be able to listen to it here.
