been trying to work with iann and get @sewntogetha.bsky.social stuff done.

have to play drums desperately to practice for @sexyjesusdoom.bsky.social’s show in may.

one thing that’s a positive is i haven’t written enough of my own stuff lately - at least into songs, so there’s no hard times on the horizon (versions excluded).

i’ve written… one song?

i also had time to work out like, live sets to release idk, i’m useless as shit over here. i need work. i’m gonna go busking tho. it’s the summer for it

like i’ve already basically set out the second HTV set lmfao. i’m still not even sure if im solid on the set of songs for the first but i have so many in the can it’s peachy

things

all songs written in 2023/2024 except for - “dry heaving.” (2019), & “a flower in my needle-stack.” (2017)

all songs recorded on 01/09/24 - except for “a good one.” which was done on 12/15/2023.

1. have i seen this place before? (somebody else). 2. dry heaving. 3. colder than cold. 4. the strangers we become. 5. a flower in my needle-stack. 6. an emptiness, and the reminder of it. 7. a good one.

happy 1st birthday to the most recent instalment in the
“hard times. anthology.”

with vol. 5 having been more of a compilation of takes through the years, these songs were basically all pinpointed to how i felt in ‘23/‘24 - & instead of using the memo demos, i sat & recorded the thing in a day.

first time in a long time:

it’s #NewSongDay (which i say when i’m writing a song).

pumped but also need new strings and am a broke ass so - slit me frote
