In case you didn't realize it, the economic uncertainty this group of pissants is causing here in the US is hitting hard. As a musician, the places I play regularly are venues that bring me in as added value. I hold the crowds, they buy more food and drink, and everyone is happy. I've been working since January to fill my 2025 calendar (something that hasn't been a problem in the past) and I can't get through to anybody. It's like screaming into a void.

My guess is that venues feel they can no longer afford "added-value" extras. A few have told me they have cut back on music, or cut it totally.

So yeah, as I feared all last year, it's looking like my livelihood is also on the block. I'm furious at red voters, and even more angry with the blue voters who stayed home because they felt this was the time to take a stand or whatever. Y'all shot us in the knees, and I'm not going to forget it.

Anyone looking for an accessible singer/songwriter with a good sense of humor and an uncanny ability to read a crowd?

Beautiful video clip for an equalliy beautiful song by Helen Bell (⁠@helenbellmusic⁠) with Xenogon (⁠@xenogon⁠) called “Horsetail” (“the only surviving genus of a family of plants that dates back hundreds of millions of years. These plants are described as living fossils, terrible invasive weeds, or a useful source of materials for organic fungicide, depending on who you ask. Will they survive the next extinction event?”)

As always, I’ll link to Invidious as a proxy to avoid Google/YouTube’s data grabbing and spying:

The Nostalgia EP is turning four! It was released on April 2, 2021—but the songs go back much further, written between 1991 and 1995. This EP is a time capsule of memories, melodies, and moments from another era.

To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to host a listening party on Bandcamp!

📅 When? April 2nd at:

🕘 9 PM CET—that’s:
🕘 8 PM UK
🕒 3 PM EDT | 2 PM CDT | Midday (12 PM) PDT

For friends in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, this will be on April 3rd at:
☀️ 8 AM NZ | 6 AM AEDT | 5 AM AEST | 4 AM JST

I don’t expect you to wake up at this hour, but hey, if you can’t sleep, you know what to do! 😆

RSVP: https://annikajayne.bandcamp.com/merch/nostalgia-ep-listening-party

To make the celebration even more special, the Nostalgia EP will be released on cassette for the very first time! 🎉

📼 Side A features the Nostalgia EP along with two bonus tracks:
🎵 Summer Morning (feat. Alison Reynolds on cello & Eileen Alanna on vocals)
🎵 Even The Stars—a beautiful cover of Lydia Manuel’s song and the only cover I’ve ever recorded! @LydiaManuel

📼 Side B will include the Nostalgia Unplugged Album

I can’t wait for you to hear it!

This is the most perfect song I've ever written. It is also the most painful.
A life-long friendship died back in 2007/2008. It is something I am still trying to process to this day.

It is a difficult thing to cut a piece of your soul off and commit it to music and know it will most likely be ignored

I’m a little late to Caitlin Cannon’s Beggar, especially since her next project, Love Addict, is coming out in May. That being said, Beggar is a potent collection of songs. These are all sketches of people who have been cast aside — and how they respond. Beggar brims with confidence, a series of silky performances from Cannon, and hard-hitting lyrical power.
