June 2024 Newsletter

Hey! How’s your summer? I’m playing as much pickleball as my body will allow and then a little bit more so that I’m constantly sore. It’s great!

Titled Fifth Album

I have big not-great news: my next album (now titled “Naturally”) has unfortunately encountered A Shameful Delay and I’ve pushed the release back to November. Read the post over on the Indiegogo for my many apologies and some other ramblings but in a nutshell: it’s taking longer than I thought, I’m very sorry about the delay and if for any reason you’d like a refund, just reply to this email and let me know. Everyone’s been super chill so far… thanks for understanding. I think it’s gonna turn out good.

Playing and Talking

I was on the Six Picks Music Club podcast which was a fun discussion and they also animated me lol.

Likely only of interest to people nearby but I’m playing a small semi-acoustic street piano show outdoors at the North Grenville Public Library this Saturday at 2pm. Should be a new experience! Here’s me and the street piano hanging out: 

If you’re around, come say hi. 

Stuff I’ve Liked

• I really loved Jordan Mechner’s development journals of Karateka and Prince of Persia and his graphic novel memoir Replay. Somehow reading about crunch time finishing video games makes me feel better about finishing my album.

• Cindy Lee’s Diamond Jubilee is an incredibly vibey album. Kingdom Come sounds like a lost cut from some cool sixties band.

• Stand-Up Solutions is a standup special making fun of AI and blowhard CEOs. Pretty obnoxious but it sure made me laugh.

• I hadn’t thought about it in a while but seriously, where did Ms. Pac-Man go?

OK, back to work. Stay cool!
