I am beyond honored and pleased to release this song, Logic Dictates, featuring Alex Parkinson @MothmansTbirds on additional vocals and @EgorLappo supplying a guitar solo for the ages. Thanks to both a million! Beyond epic! youtu.be/YQdAwLGMlmM?si…

The new album is recorded, but I’m going to sit on it and try to forget it. When I come back to it in a month or so, I hope to have a fresh perspective. It feels like there’s something missing, some secret sauce that’s eluding me. I think a healthy break will help me find it.

You know, I’ve been to hundreds of shows in my life, but that Nine Inch Nails concert last night maybe the best one I’ve ever seen.

Yes, and it was amazing!

It’s been 32 years

Out of ten songs I’ve recorded for the new album, two really stick out, and not in a good way. They just don’t fit. So, I’m going back in to record two more new ones, or one longer one. We’ll see what shakes out.

I wanted one more song for the new album, so I sat down last night and banged out a rhythm on the drum machine. Thirty minutes and a few riffs later, I more than succeeded in my task. Prepare for whiplash.

I took these snow days to complete another song for the new album. It’s going to be the title track and the album opener, which means it’s pretty epic.

I’ve recorded 7 songs for the new album so far, and there is a definite vibe going on that’s way different from what I’ve done before. I don’t know…I think you’ll either love it or hate it, depending on how much you’ll tolerate synths and an industrial vibe alongside my usual.

I’m working on a completely ridiculous and cheesy song inspired by my awful neighbors. Super fun.

I need 25 more streams to hit a 1000 for my song Pathfinder on Spotify. Please do me a solid and head over there so I can get my 35 cents 😜open.spotify.com/track/4PxBXXWg…

Always appreciated 😀

The lineup for the bands I’m going to see this year are like a blueprint for my own music: NIN, Extreme, Rush, and Foo Fighters. If I could just somehow make it to the Opeth tour, it would be a full house. ♠️♥️♣️♦️🎸

I’m a few days late, but I hope everyone has a great 2026! Make it happen!

I hope everyone has a great holiday season. 🎄🎅🏻

I wrapped up a new song last night. I’m heading in a slightly different direction this time around, and it’s been very inspiring. I think the lyrics are some of my best. I can’t wait for others to hear it.

Currently working on a song that has a few passages that are extremely “Rush-like”. The way I see it, if Dream Theater can rip them off, then I, a nobody from Missouri, can too.

Synths

I’ve been on a writing spree the past few weeks. I have demos of 9 songs so far, and looking to add a few more. I’m interested to see (and hear) where this will all end up. I’d sum up that what I have so far is a mix of 90s industrial and 70s prog rock.

It’s Friday night, and that means it’s time to channel my inner-Warrant.

I’m doing things a little different this time. Usually, I completely finish a song before moving on. This time I’m just laying out the basics in a rough demo. I’ll come back and make passes on different elements; lyrics, vox, songwriting... Six songs in, a few more to work out.
