I deactivated all my Twitter accounts. Hadn't used any of them in years but now that they're nuked, they can't be stolen, at least.

Also, Google is SUCH a weird fucking mess! By mistake, I logged myself out of an account that I forgot the password for, and, after a couple days screwing about, somehow just relogged in WITHOUT giving it my password (which sort of makes sense, because I was logged in to the same account in the same browser for another google service), after days of screwing around. Not even sure what I just did! I guess I am grateful, tho...

Anyway, all these tech "geniuses" sure do make some shoddy, fuck-ass products, don't they?

Today's edition of Other People's Music is out! A heavy dose of rock this week, including some punk and a Radiohead cover, plus a batch of multi genre instrumentals that defy easy categorization. Read all about it, and listen, here:

Really wonderful that everything I do that makes me happy and fulfilled, and that other people deeply appreciate and find useful, either costs me money or earns a pittance.

While the worst, most awful things I do (bad for me and for other people) earn me a ton, and would earn even more if I was more ruthless about it.

Really cool system we have here. Great stuff.

Musicians! Interested in having a
fellow musician listen to and write about your music, to help it find a larger audience? That's the purpose of my Other People's Music blog: a place for me to write about other people's music and help others find cool stuff!

Every week I cover 5 new (to. me) acts, write up a concise but detailed description that captures the general vibe and the most interesting things about the music, and share it with my audience.

How it works:

Lucky or unlucky, I firmly believe that Friday the 13th is a great day to check out my music. While I don't have a specifically slasher-film inspired track (yet...), several tracks on my recent album Psychedelic Ghost Stories are inspired by ghosts, zombies and other monsters. Check it out:

If you care about music, at all, please consider spending as much at Bandcamp (or another equitable music platform) today as you do on streaming services

Your streaming dollars only support streaming executives and big record companies. Bandcamp $$$ go into artists' pockets

Support art, not tech

Happy #BandcampFriday! If you're new to my music, the best place to start is here:

https://etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/psychedelic-ghost-stories

That's my most cohesive and polished release to date. It's still a deeply idiosyncratic and challenging musical vision, but it's as approachable as I get!

Here's the weekly Other People's Music Digest thread! Here you'll find abbreviated versions of the 5 musical acts covered in this week's Other People's Music blog. The blog post itself, with longer versions of what's in this thread, can be found here:

Phosphorus Sky – The Hanging Shadow Is No Trick of the Light

Incredible distillation of some of the most interesting elements of post millennial rock into a set of haunting and beautiful songs. It’s not just post millennial, as in post 2000, it leans hard into a bunch of “post” genres – post punk, post hardcore, post rock – plus a bit of indie rock, electronic pop, and ambient.

Rya! – “Blåstång”

This song is an otherworldly, but inviting, slice of jazzy Swedish folk pop. A beautiful woman’s voice delivers Swedish lyrics (which may as well be Martian to my monolingual ass), surrounded by an arrangement of drums, double bass, sax, violin, tuba, piano, occasional electronic elements and and Härjedalspipa (a Swedish folk flute) playing a jaunty and inviting tune.

@pettter followed you over there just in case. What is your insta? I'm on there too but mostly just to post the occasional gear pic and pass reels back and forth with my wife and a few old friends.

@pettter you got some praise and a new Bandcamp follower from someone over at bluesky who read the piece. I passed your Mastodon info to them, but if you're over there I can give you their info as well, LMK.

@thegrowingnoise
@pettter and @benda (plus their fans) will all want to have a look at this week

Here's this week's Other People's Music! Some really great stuff this week. Inventive post-everything rock, delightfully weird Swedish folk pop, lo-fi guitar instrumentals, classic rock revival and minimal noise ambient/industrial. Read it and hear it here:

As always, please support these musicians with a purchase if you find something you like!
