“Matter is mostly empty space,” Luna piped up on a walk through The Club’s bocce courts. “Ergo, everyone has a big sucking vacuum between their ears.”…

Were there inner voices before there was oral language? Just curious what a Neanderthal thought to theirself.
Tbf, I still have no idea how an idea in my head ends up in a written word.…

Inside Track 002: Need To Be
In 2018, my wife Cat costume designed the Amazon series Homecoming in Los Angeles, so we decamped Brooklyn for a 1930s cottage aerie perched halfway up Laurel Canyon.…

princess (sarsaparilla sessions 20220330.1)
recorded at the Hood’s Sarsaparilla Soda factory,
30 march 2021
lowell, ma
no princes in this city
no warnings about the wicked
just a princess and a quiet boysleep in a sleepless city
crystal in a concrete world
just a princess and a quiet boya silence passes through us
as our eyes meet on the subway
it wakes me with laughter as we sway with the train
a quiet moment of inspiration
just a boy
and his princessfaith in a faithless city
diamonds in a leaden world
just a princess and a quiet boy syncingthis silence given to us is simply to find
a quiet moment of inspiration
just a boy and a princess
from Windfall, released August 2, 2004

The Former Musician’s Blues
DALL-E 2 AI INPUT: “A former musician, surrounded by destroyed instruments, under a pink sky, photographed by William Eggleston” (2022)
Someone randomly came into one of my social feeds today with “former musician” in their bio, and the notion sent me, well, riffing…
What, exactly, constitutes a “former” musician?…

I write every day. I just don’t want to publish every day. Would that I did not think in drafts.
Hard to “Build that brand!”…

up ahead, opinions won’t be outlawed, but there will be no universal standard of listening. having any opinion on any thing will render at least some part of the world, virtual or irl, impassable
Dining off the curb is, in essence, tailgating, since you’re eating in a parking space
Dgmw, I love tailgating.…

“When you hate…”
…When you hate, you generate a reciprocal hate. When individuals hate each other, the harm is finite; but when great groups of nations hate each other, the harm may be infinite and absolute.

may you turn away
all the darkest things
and turn on the world
every time you sing
rolling on a ball
rolling off a log
rolling and falling for
all the things you love
may all the things you love
always
light the way you came
may all the things you love
one day
all know your name
breathe says the water
when trouble hides and seeks
to overthrow your order
and trade worries for your sleep
to the city walls
cast off doubt
with your bride fly off
reset the clocks

may you turn away
all the darkest things
and turn on the world
every time you sing
road work outside your window
construction down the block
induction of plans
demolition of clocks
breathe says the water
when trouble hides and seeks
to overturn your order
and trade worries for your sleep
rolling on a ball
rolling off a log
rolling and falling away
from all the things you love
all the things you love
will someday
go back the way you came
all the things you love
will someday / always know your name
faith believes
religion isn’t about the god, it’s about the faith
faith in a god (irrational and unprovable as any deity is) translates to faith in oneself
that is to say, one’s faith in a god is not faith in itself/himself/herself/theirself being true.…

In this world, are there more cheap things or expensive things not worth the money?
commitment is a subset of love
none of my best performances have been recorded 😔
Sometimes I have a lot of trouble figuring out how people zipped themselves into their clothes
there’s more profit in the darkest futures.…
