Something something “Sippin on ale with Margo Martindale” sounds like a lost MF Doom album

It's nice to see @johnswanke.bsky.social expand his toolkit beyond guitar to embrace pure electronic drift. This new plant-based synthesizer work is meditative, minimal, and slow moving. A welcome escape 🌱

Thank you for sharing. Your work was undoubtedly a huge inspiration for this one.
3 films. 3 performances. 1 night.
Featuring 3 short films/video collages with live music accompanied by Devin Champlin, Sean Curtis Patrick and myself. Hope to see you there.
Should I do a reissue of Sturgeon Moon?
Check out the latest Transmitter Down show with tunes by @johnswanke.bsky.social and other tasty luminaries!
Good morning from Momo and Brie
Thanks for listening. Glad you are enjoying the tape.
Down to my last few copies of both of these tapes. When they are gone they are gone (until someone reissues them 😉) message me to claim one. $15 shipped. I have 3 of each.
Opening for Sir Richard Bishop still feels like a dream. Packed house. Had to stand on a chair to get this shoddy video when I should’ve just sat down, closed my eyes and listened. But you know…content.
Nice lil stack here 😉
Thanks for listening. Glad you are enjoying the tape.

Here are some of the songs I played on the radio today featuring @somesurprises.bsky.social and @johnswanke.bsky.social.
Thank you! Is there an archive of the show somewhere I can listen?
Last night in Bellingham. Thanks to Sean Curtis Patrick for some cool pics. Thanks to Jeffrey Silverstein for the invite to play. Good times ✌️
Teasing a new design here from my friend Kyle. Work in progress…New t-shirt maybe? Rain Country vol 2? We’ll see…
Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. Maybe one day I can make a really pro nature video.
It's hot out Go cool down with @johnswanke.bsky.social by the lake for some refreshing sounds

Post Stringband Jamboree and I’m still buzzing. Happy as a bee on a sunflower. Might have some live recordings coming soon. Stay tuned…
In the interest of transparency and because I think it’s interesting here’s some quick streaming stats from the service that shall not be named. Rain Country has in one week already blown past my first album that has been on streaming for over 3 years. Neat.
Saw @johnswanke.bsky.social post this record for his radio show this evening & had to share. A unique local bluegrass record by Chickahominy Tribal Member Chief Powhatan from the Richmond area. Some great original tunes on this including Rosie & Sun Dance. Here’s the full thing. 🎻🪕
Going live on 94.9 KZAX with Louis Ledford tonight from 6-8pm PST. I will play some records and talk about music, life or whatever else comes up. I will even play a little guitar. Listen live worldwide on kzaxradio.org ✌️
Is this proof that I am in fact, an ambient artist?
Listening party happening tomorrow 7/29 5:30pm PST. See you in the chat!
I tuned my guitar to 432hz because behind this American Primitive facade lives a dirty hippie who enjoys a good clean sound bath.
