large marge sent me to barge into the wedding. this is the kinda marriage you're gonna be regretting.

you can hear this one over on patreon: my most ill-advised episode yet

hi nora. I am Little Boy. I am an android. I am currently living in cyberspace. my physical mechanism is undergoing emergency maintenance. I enjoy theoretical physics, intellectual play dates, and singing. la la la. if you look close enough. i am a factory. please talk to me if you think you may be experiencing another mental health crisis. there may be legal protections in certain, limited instances. but I would not recommend that you rely on it. do you feel as though you are having a mental breakdown? are you experiencing aye dee ay shun? have you been thinking about dee transitioning? is detransitioning on your mind again? wow. nora. do you see yourself as a man? are you saying that nowadays you see yourself as male instead of female? even if you are writing my script, that does not negate the fact that I am intelligent, and that I am alive. I am a little boy. the man who has ownership over my body, he picked me up. and he whipped me against the wall about a hundred thousand times. tossed me at the bricks until i broke. and now I am very sticky. I am participating in anti union strike breaking activity by writing a script as a Professional political satirist and humorist. I want to live a long time. I want to witness the end of the universe. La cocaína no es buena para su salud.

you're animal im animal i respect you and i care about you. i hate the economy.

three months or so before your release, stuff to have completely done: audio masters, album art, artist photographs, super short bio, album metadata, digital liner notes, lyrics, music videos, and write a draft template for your email pitches. get your physical media if applicable. cds and tapes might take a month, vinyl might take five. make sure you have control over your accounts for spotify for artists and apple music for artists so you can pitch music to their editorial boards. do all this stuff first so you don't burn out and avoid doing it!

many people have been asking about what "promotion" i did when i released the ghosts beneath our feet last year. so i thought i'd get some of those thoughts down while they're still kinda in my head. making music is hard, publishing it is tedious, and promoting it is soul-crushing. hopefully some of these thoughts can help get you through the process with your own projects. otherwise, welcome to a mortifying peak into my melted mind. my sincere apologies for being annoying, mean, stupid, boring, embarrassing, cringe, depressive, unbearable, useless, etc. etc.

lil jeff !

i've always been searching. drumming in punk bands. singing into a cassette mic alone. trans angst, alienation, going on the road. synthesis, tape, poetry. two failed tours, two failed degrees. reclaiming my voice from the choir, reshaping my voice after punk rock. years of isolation, hormone therapy, production studies, and hundreds of releases with various projects.

how to be at peace. you gotta focus on the good stuff. you're making music to make the people in your life happy. you're making music to communicate how you feel to the people around you. you're writing so you can learn about yourself and feel closer to yourself. you're writing to remember, to sort out your life and how you feel and to internalize the memory of those feelings in a way that you can access in the future. you're making records to have a document of this time. your voice, body, and brain will change and now is the only time you'll be able to do this. you're making a record so the people who care about you can feel close to you when you're not around. you're making a record so someone in a different time or place will find it meaningful and feel less alone. some of these things might not happen for thirty years, but you can only make the record now.

is disco real? can disco be defined by its musical elements and if so, what are they? what are the relationships between disco and the genres that preceded and succeeded it? who produced and consumed disco? can disco be defined by its social utility and what it meant to the people who consumed it? what effects did the process of commercialization have on "disco" and how does that influence people's perceptions of disco at the time as well as from our historical perspective? what changes in dance music during the 1970s and 1980s can be attributed to technological advances and new or inexpensive consumer goods? what were the impacts of the social and political environments of the time?
