Heyyy, everyone… how’s it going out there? Just thought I’d check in. I’m still catching up on business admin grown-up stuff here, which I don’t love. Managed a bit of recording, though. Two more covers from the album fundraiser: Missed the Boat by Modest Mouse and Blood Roses by Tori Amos. Both pretty challenging in their own ways. I still owe one cover to someone but haven’t been able to reach them — if you’re out there, shoot me a message! I’m dreaming of a guilt-free summer.
My album “Naturally” continues to exist and be listened to, which is great. Thank you for the nice comments about it. “Learning to Lie” passed 50,000 streams which ain’t bad at all. The sci-fi pickleball music video hasn’t exactly captured the public’s attention the way I thought it might, but I know it’ll be looked back on as an important contribution to the genre.
I haven’t had any reports of missing album orders in a minute, so that’s been nice. Please still reach out if you’re missing yours hashtag guiltfreesummer. Of course, there’s another looming Canadian postal service strike and still US border weirdness, so shipping from my country is spicier than I’d like it to be. Someone needs to invent, like, vinyl but in computers? I dunno.
I’ve been reorganizing my studio and making progress on a bunch of songs, keeping it all pretty loose at this point, which is my whole deal. Well, other than training for my first pickleball tournament in a couple weeks, that’s actually a big part of my deal right now also. Anyway, wish me luck! Thanks for reading, be in touch soon,
