Corporations:
I don't care what your incompetent consultants tell you; none of us wants to answer scores of questions to evaluate your service.
Ask *one* question to score our experience 1 to 10. Then leave us alone.
I'm not paid to spend half an hour helping you to run your business.

Why limit it?
Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States
I’ve been “quiet,” which mostly means I’ve been making noise in other places. New blog post is up and shows are booking (virtual and in person), and the next album is slowly, stubbornly becoming a real thing. Come out if you can. I’d really like that. chrissteeleband.com/2026/04/15/g...
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens.
The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.
Can't blame him.
More live music on the calendar. 2026 is taking shape—porchfests, open mics, and a few new songs starting to sneak into the set. I’ll have the tip jar out this year as I work toward the next album.

Just a little spinach, onion, and vegetarian sausage quiche. Nothing special, but the house smells awesome!
A cartoon of Pete Kefsbreath shouts at American flag-draped coffins: “STOP TRYING TO EMBARASS THE PRESIDENT!”
Done! Indie musicians MUST support each other!
Me, Donating blood
So am at three months again so back and bleeding again. I try to post these as a plea (and as a needlephobe) - if you are able, this is an easy and important way to help those around you. And there’s always a shortage. #bloodselfie

February is FAWM. 14 songs in 28 days.
I wasn’t sure I had it in me this year. So... 18 songs. 4 collaborations. Constraint + community = creative mischief.

There has never been a better time to accept and vocalize that Jews and the Israeli government are not the same thing. Yes, the Israeli government has worked hard for decades to make us believe opposing its actions is inherently antisemitic. But it isn’t true. It never was.
This aged well. Note the author.
1. I would vote for anyone who could win a Democratic primary in 2028
2. I will vote for the most credible left candidate in the primary

This guy raped little girls.

I’ve been collecting this year’s new songs (all very, very messy) in a YouTube playlist here: youtu.be/Hstpif82ak0?...
