Hi Mastodon,

I’d like to reintroduce myself and introduce my album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy”.

I write songs and over the past 6 years roughly, I’ve collected 10 from about 100 to be recorded, mixed and mastered. As of today, those 10 songs are available to listen to at bandcamp as the album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy” (https://alastairleonard.bandcamp.com/album/a-cufflink-wearing-guy)

There are songs about fleeting marketplace romances (Sunflowers), and going in search of your life’s purpose (Desert Rose). There are other songs about taking the easy road and waking up late (Mid-Morning Guy) and the housing crisis in Australia (Yoshino Removals). There are even more songs — about bad haircuts (West Coast Haircut) and the disappearance of the bees (Honey Bee). The title track follows a pair of cufflinks given to me as a young man and their trajectory through the following decades. All the lyrics are up there so you can read along while listening if that’s your preference.

The music is roughly what I’d call indie-pop including jangly guitars numbers and piano ballads but there are forays into country twang, latin percussion, and doof. Some of my influences include #jeffreylewis #bjork #davidberman #cassandrajenkins #dangelo #leonardcohen #hopesandovalandthewarminventions #lucindawilliams #jenslekman #jonathanrichman #ninasimone #arethafranklin #pixies #thecure #thefieldmice #thesundays #thelemonheads #themagneticfields #tmbg #thegobetweens #motown

Attention is a commodity these days and I don’t expect too many people will hear the record; but if you do feel inclined to listen and can find a moment, I hope you find something joyful in these songs. Creating A Cufflink-Wearing Guy has been a labour of love. Mostly love, a little labour. Until next time, keep looking on the bright side. Thanks for reading. AL

#MusicMonday! Jeffrey Lewis - "Just Fun"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCqO3bH8Rdc

🎶 "Pick out someone friendly who romantically excites you
Start the hopeful dream of what if he or she likes you
Know that you could love them and build up a blissful fantasy
That this is finally something, and how good your lives would be
But then feel wretched when it's clear
It's just your far-fetched dumb idea" 🎶

Any #antifolk fans here?

I've been going over some of my old albums from The Greats such as: #jeffreylewis, #dianecluck, #dufus, etc.

Some really good stuff! I happen to own "Antifolk Vol 1" on CD; something whicn doesn't appear to be available any more. Alas, there was no "vol 2" follow-up.

In ~2002, I went to Brighton (seaside town in England) to see some Antifolk acts -- Jeffrey Lewis was there, and he was amazing. There was also #prewaryardsale who just seemed to exist as two people, one on vocals, and the other banging a drum, or an old KFC bucket, I couldn't quite recall. Happy days though. I did buy their album.

I know some of those folks have entered mainstream (Beck. Jeffrey Lewis, Major Matt Mason USA), but I hope the ethos of this music is still going strong. :)
