  1. @pomCountyIrregs @mwt Thank you. I certainly don't fancy myself an essayist, but I confess that I do purposely mangle the language to make a point(†). As you point out, there is a tradition of doing this.

    To be clear, this essay was #writingAdvice for #fiction #writers like myself suggesting that focusing on people performing or doing evil things is far more engaging (and horrifying) than a more distant defined or indefinite #evil institution, being, or force, i.e., a #MacGuffin.

    Yes, I proceed to relate it to real life because when we don't think about why we are doing what we do, acting on reflex or as taught by rote or obeying authority, we can do bad things unthinkingly. As characters will in our stories. As authors, getting our readers to realize their awesome capabilities (in this case to perform evil) is just one of the services fiction writers perform.

    † - I am doing this wholesale in my current story.

  3. #MyFavouriteFediMusic is the topic of today's #TuneTuesday brought to you by @Kitty

    I immediately thought of @MiseryPath I love his EP "In Flames We Drown", especially the opening track:

    🎵 Innocent Eyes by #MiseryPath
    ▶️ miserypath.bandcamp.com/track/

    The second one is a fast punk song made by @sharan 's band:

    🎵 Šta'š popit by #Ubleha
    ▶️ popik.bandcamp.com/track/ta-po

    And I'll throw in another one, because @pomCountyIrregs 's music always makes me happy:

  4. I mentioned this earlier as being found Soundcloud. Over the past few days, I worked up a way to do this new song solo acoustic.

  5. So I pulled the M-Audio thingy, turned on MainStage and played a bass line in D (pentatonic). Bounced between keys and G&L Fretless. Ready to go. Logic on, new, tempo, tempo, 128, no, 132 bpm.

    Play something busier than the keyboard riff. Becomes a 16 bar phrase. D-C-D-E/F bounce.

    Spend an hour playing with the rhythm tracks. Making beats? I wouldn't presume.

    Play a chorus for first and last 16 bars. Improvise over the middle.

  11. I appreciate the antipathy many have to links to streamers, but BandCamp’s TOS combined with my wanting to include a cover of Paul Simon’s Richard Cory means iTunes is the only place to purchase in full. Dark Corners - EP by The Pomegranate County Irregulars music.apple.com/us/album/dark-

    You may stream the full thing from the usual suspects as well.

  12. At Noon Cali time (3pm Eastern, 8pm England time) our latest single from the EP “Dark Corners,” “Beyond Beyond” is played on Paul Golder’s program on #PhoenixFM phoenixfm.com/

  13. From album five, The Serfville Monad Talk with Fate, a song about a flood, Levee Seven.

    The rain will stop; people will come
    So-called leaders and those famous-fors
    They come to pity, they come to be gone
    ‘Cause water hazards wreck golf scores

    Levee six is gonna be rebuilt
    And there’s loans for all the folks of Campton
    All we had is now downstream
    So seek you me in the mud that was Levee Seven

  14. #BandCampFriday Eve

    "On we go taming rough terrain
    Give sweat and soul for some damn train.
    Captains of industry and the like
    Will get full credit for driving each spike"

    From "Drill Ye Tarriers, Drill" on the album "Monday Meditations with the Serfville Monad"

  15. I am participating—no Friday ritual of a chili tamale from Burbank and Laurel Canyon Tommy’s, eaten outside. So when I point out a past album at #Bandcamp, check it out today if you please, but if it pleases, place the proverbial pin and bring the ka-ching in March.

    Quoting me “…these are songs about persons who are at sea, literally or figuratively, or face it as a choice.”

    Nearly an hour of soundtrack for your protest boycott.

  16. While writing Bandcamp notes for album 11 "The Serfville Monad and the Pluperfect People," I gave a listen to the beautiful old-timey “Hard Times Come Again No More”. Performed by the “Anonymous 4” and Bruce Molsky. It's from the album “1865: Songs of Hope and Home from the American Civil War (Bonus Track Version)”

  22. #ThePomegranateCountyIrregulars have put up a video of a track that probably, yeah, really likely, that will be part of the next album in July.

    Don't know about on a single, though.

    5-6-7-8. When I was putting lyrics to the backing track, I think I had recently watched an award-winning mini-series about a mendacious, vain musical director and his under credited wife.
