I Almost Died But I’m OK Now

Hi!! I was going to tell you about so much in this post: new music, new meds, new toys, new perspectives. But then I almost died, and that interrupted everything. It started with my gut. I just got a bit backed up, not a huge deal. Except that it triggered a UTI, which caused a […]

New Vintage & The Dancing Sun

Remember when I put out a single about love & outer space? And the dope cassette art for it was based on a NASA photo of Space Shuttle Discovery? I know what you’re thinking, “Man, it would have been so cool if you had made that art into a t-shirt.” Good news! I did!!   […]

Wham!

Well, this was a surprise– Someone nominated me for a Wammie! That’s a “Washington Area Music Award,” in case you were (understandably!) unaware. DC has its own little music awards show every year, and this year, someone nominated Astering for Best Pop Song. I’m not sure if it quite belongs in that category, but I’ll […]

No Straight Lines

Get that jab! The White House did a great job getting this far, but they’ve recently begun venting frustration […]

A Long Recovery

Hello Friend– Hoo boy, the past few weeks have really been something! But before getting into hospital stays and antipsychotics and whatnot, I think it’s important to talk about something really major that happened in late April: I got a haircut! It had been ages. It was overgrown way before the pandemic. In desperation, I […]

Hi Friend! Normally, I would have sent out some kind of update email by now. I would be telling you about how I got a nice haircut at home, how I spent a few days in a hospital in Philly getting inpatient headache treatments, and how the music I’ve been working on lately has been […]

Speechless

Hi Friend! How’d you spend your stimulus? Mine just arrived. The SSA took way too long to deliver information to the IRS, so elderly and disabled people like me were among the last to get paid, but it’s here now! I’m getting my bass fixed up and putting a big chunk in savings. This kid […]
