Good stuff, and nice to see you here. These bands remind me of our time at Gratzi. Maureen M. came to mind immediately when I heard the Sloan track. And I’m sure I’ve seen you dance like that.

Started checking out this album. Dig a few of the tunes a lot.

Jumping in here to say that while this is a genre of music I would never listen to, it’s pretty darn good compared to other music in that genre.

I’ve been making music since I was 10 years old. Been obsessed with it. To not be impressed that this was created in 30 seconds is ridiculous.

Could this song be top 40? Nah. But is it within the realm of possibility that one day AI songs will be? Absolutely.

I think we will label art in the future akin to ,”100% human made,” etc.

I also think live performance is going to be huge. Not just music, but stand-up comedy, theater performances, etc..

Will not reply to any comments here. Just wanted to say you’re not crazy.

The guitar work/tone drumming and bass reminds me of Helmet. I dig this. Thanks

Thank you!

You nailed it! Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply. I am

So glad when any of these even get a listen, let alone the thoughtful consideration you’ve shown here. I know I’ve said this to you many times over the years, but it means a lot to me. This song hits home with me too. I’ve gotten older and therefore have more tools to deal with the assholes of the world, but they definitely don’t ever go away, do they?!

Have a great day, Steve. Thank you!!🙏

Thanks, Steve. I dig this one too. Felt like writing an 80’s vibe song from the perspective of a kid that flips out after years of bullying.

We are selling our home and moving into a place that we built. I’m very excited. Part of the build is a detached studio/office. I can use this for work and for recording music. Also, it’s gonna have a lounge/TV to watch films and mostly, I suspect, tennis.

My tennis game is strong these days (for me). The new house is less than a block from 12 clay courts and four hard. I’m beyond excited for this. wasoxygen one day, we shall play!

Our oldest started high school. She made the tennis team. Very proud of the work she put in to secure that spot. She had her first match and won.

Our son started middle school and made the soccer team. Our youngest is in 2nd grade and is such a smart and thoughtful kid. They are all thriving. My wife’s practice is doing well and Forever Labs / SuperShotPRP are both on strong paths to profitability and long term success. It’s been a decade. “Quit or get rich. Those are your options.”

My cofounder and I have now put in more money than any individual investor. We have ample, “skin in the game,” and I feel great about that.

I’m consistently lifting weights and feel physically great. I still have not had a drink since May 6th, 2024. Hope everyone is well.

Onward!

I wouldn't have guessed that about you. I watched, "The Last Waltz," maybe a hundred times while in college. There are definitely bands that are near universally adored that I cannot get into. The Doors are at the top of the list. Tom Waits is up there too, but over the years I've grown less averse. Interestingly, I think the guy is amazing to listen to talk. I love Tom Waits pontificating on any subject. He's an awesome actor too. I just struggle with that singing voice. Seems very contrived to me. Also, Modest Mouse. Lot's of people assume I like that band. I don't.
