I've felt small the last day and a half or so.

This song makes me feel powerful.

Anyway. It's making me feel better.

Also this song of revolution

For reference, with my work being #8 for blues-punk, Iggy Pop is #2.

Not that it's a really poppin' genre, but if you search "blues punK" in the genre section of bandcamp, 51 Miles From Nowhere is the 8th result. That's insanely cool to me.

Anyway.

#8 ain't so bad if you want to check it out

Also, oh yeah, new single is still new single.

Any support and love is funneled directly into a machine that converts it into a final, finished album.

Sometimes we feel unstable. Sometimes we feel like we're going to explode. Sometimes we have exploded.

I've caused a lot of damage in relationships over the years. Mania is a beast. But also, we are powerful.

That's what this song is about.

New single - "Back Away"

Happy Halloween!

https://doctordeathray.bandcamp.com/track/back-away

My new single, "Back Away," is exclusively available for purchase on #bandcamp until December 13th. At that time, it should be streaming and purchasable most anywhere you can find music.

I decided to release early on Bandcamp because I've had a lot of traction here on the fediverse with bandcamp sales, and I want to kind of have that exclusive start for the fediverse.

I appreciate all of you. My music is the most listened to it's ever been, and that's mostly thanks to this community. Thank you.

Anyway. Check out the new single here:

Any tips for setting up an older Mac mini as a media box? It’s the “late 2014” model. I’m going to use it for local network backup, too. But I figure I might hook it up to the TV and put movies and shows on it.

We still have #bandcampfriday for a little while longer!

SO!

A Thread?

First off, shameless self promotion time! You all know my #music posts, and while the new album is coming, I'm still recovering from surgery.

In the mean time! Check out my latest release which also happens to be a fundraiser to pay for the surgery I just had!

Also! Have you checked out the public domain album I worked with @ajroach42 on? I’m thrilled with how it turned out. I’m very happy with my recordings and with Andrew’s wonderful curated selection of songs.

Anyway. It comes with a digital zine. And a physical zine if you order a physical copy. Shipping by January 8th.

I think it’s really cool how these 100 year old songs really resonate. This is something we’re planning to do every year, and this is a phenomenal way to kick it off.

Do you have a favorite track?

I think of the six songs I recorded as my adoptive babies. Well. Five adopted babies, and one franken-baby I made by mashing up parts of four other babies.

@ajroach42 wrote this very kind bio that makes me sound cool. I really love it, and it's from the zine we include with the public domain album.

Doctor Deathray
Born in Atlanta in the latter half of the 1900s, Doctor Deathray is a figure shrouded in mystery. She spent much of her adolescence learning the art of the blues while living under a false name, bouncing between the hills of rural Virginia and the dusty streets of various Atlanta suburbs before spending a decade studying her craft apprenticed to various musical legends in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and finally making a home in the hills and hollers of Southern Appalachia.

She has, to date, recorded several dozen sides of original music, traditional songs, and covers. Frequently accompanied by a backing band known as The Implements of Destruction.

Doctor Deathray was gracious enough to bless us with fresh recordings, original arrangements, and even a fresh composition for this celebration of the public domain.

I love this so much. It makes me smile.

Franken-Baby is a great band name

The eclipse was beautiful and rejuvenating to witness. Only partial here, but with 85% totality. I feel lighter.

We are cosmically small. But we are made of stardust, and we are here. And that matters.

Hello dear friends! I have been approved through insurance for facial feminization surgery! This is huge and something I'm incredibly excited about!! It's going to be life-changing, and it's something I never thought I'd have the opportunity to do.

But. I still have about $1600 left in my out-of-pocket maximum, and I know that's going to all factor in to this surgery. $513 of that must be paid by Thursday for facial scans. I don't have that kind of money.

I work three+ jobs. I barely break even. Loans aren't an option as my credit is completely shot unfortunately.

So I'm asking for help.

I have options for you! You can purchase music from my bandcamp! I have lots to choose from:

Good morning! Don't just seize the day, steal the day. Pirate it. Take it. Shoplift the day. It's yours. Who's going to stop you? The Day Police? All you have to do is hide out until night and you're golden.

I need to do more mixing. I honestly love to do more mixing. This is a good thing. Have a project you need mixed? Hit ya girl up.
