Here's the final track on More Songs on the Computer: 2021 (Has Been So Fun)
I'll make the video next week and release it next Friday alongside the vinyl campaign launch.
Hope you li...

The 'More Songs On The Computer' vinyl campaign is nigh! If all goes according to plan, it will launch Friday, December 3rd on bandcamp (and should hit streaming services a few weeks later). Travis Knight has returned with some incredible artwork. This might not be the 100% finished product, but it's pretty dang close. Below is the track listing along with the different vinyl c...

Hello all,
Today I'm sharing a secret tape I was asked to put together for SNL last year. They reached out a few days after I released "I Wanna Be At The RNC." It was only a month before the new season was starting and they basically needed something in like 3 days.
They asked for something that was "shot live" and highlighted my characters and impressions. Sinc...
Here's a live performance of Superior we did at Chatt Library sometime in 2017. This is pre-Cowboy Jon/Professor Hornsby. I'm pretty sure this was shot and recorded for a VaynerMedia podcast but I'm not sure whether it was ever released.
I probably should have went into this when I shared the Live at the Library podcast, but Chattanooga Public Library has a state of the art recording st...
Okay so this isn't the G3:DoD we all anticipated. But it is 5 hours of me dressed as Desmond and talking to fans.
To those of you who aren't aware, I released a vinyl campaign earlier this year and one of the tiers had a "Yup Its Gremlins Time Bundle" that included a personalized video message from Desmond. I shot over 300 in the span of a week. This should be most of them. I also accid...
Hey there!
I hope you've seen the brand new 'Here Comes The Gremlin Man' song.
Here's me rambling for a while with some ground breaking special features.
Hola!
Here is an alt version of streets I recorded on my phone.
I wrote Streets on xylophone in 2017 or 2018. The song is meant to be a conversation between two people who are talking over each other through out. This demo is essentially my attempt at sitting down...
Hello everyone,
Someone asked during the last zoom meeting whether I had any other repurposed Songs on the Computer a la 'The Irishman Theme Song.' This reminded me that 'Leak Like Giuliani' was initially a Tyrone Biggums mashup that Netflix commissioned for the release of Chappelle's Show. There ended up being some dumb drama where Chappelle got mad about Netflix streaming the show with...

Continuing SWORDS Week here on the Discovery Channel.
Here is a live performance of (most of) Swords at the Chattanooga Library just a few weeks before it was released. I believe we play everything except Straitjacket and Salt. This is the first time we performed a lot of these songs outside of my basement. I talk a bit about the process creating and performing SWORDS around the 29:00 ma...
2021-10-27 14:15:06 +0000 UTC View PostI gotta be honest, I was not expecting the outpouring of SWORDS love I received on Twitter yesterday. It had such a nebulous response initially. We spent years laboring over this thing, put it out into the world and then had no idea whether it was resonating with people or if they were even listening. The Spotify stats have always been decent but they're just metrics - no evidence that there's ...

Happy 2nd birthday to SWORDS!
To celebrate, I'll be sharing behind-the-scenes stuff all week. First up is this collection of demos: Swords Demos
They're a far cry from my SotC voice memo demos. They're essentially my rough mixes. I would fully com...

Hello all,
In this rambling message, I share my stunted ‘True Social . Com’ song, give a quick tour of my studio/rehearsal space/basement, and give an update on my ongoing battle with the dreaded rat.

Gonna keep that sweet spooky content coming all year long. This collection of songs was written and recorded in a 2 week period before Halloween 2013. I'm not particularly proud of it, but it's fun to revisit. I had released Heart of Mold a couple weeks earlier and I guess I was trying to keep busy. 2013...
2021-10-18 17:24:06 +0000 UTC View PostTown meeting! Town meeting!
I'm thinking about hosting an event on Patreon for every Halloween (1/31, 3/31, 5/31, 7/31, 8/31, 10/31, & 12/31).
We'll kick things off with this month's Halloween #6 and make it open to to the public. I think it'll be a mix of what we did last week - some performance & chatting with patrons but with more structure. Probably will try to pick a d...

Digging through the archives and found something else you might enjoy.
This is from a set of Super Deluxe Music that (a rare ungreezified) Eric and I did at Chattanooga’s Frightening Ass Film Festival in 2017.
The production on this backing track was done by our drummer Adam Brown (you can check out his cover of Indie Folk Alex Jones 2021-10-12 19:40:22 +0000 UTC View Post
What a night! Seriously had so much fun.
Edit: Our beloved Woop saved the day and recorded the full meeting. This is probably the superior version as it also includes the chat.
See you guys at 10 pm EST! I'll be taking requests and chatting with whoever would like to for at least a couple hours. Should be fun!

Apologies to Travis Knight for butchering his beautiful artwork.
I’ll post the zoom link when I figure out how to!
See you Saturday ✌️🤠✌️
2021-10-06 23:06:07 +0000 UTC View PostHello patrons!
My band and I would be performing in Chicago this weekend if it weren’t for Delta.
I was thinking, maybe it could be fun to do a laidback acoustic performance / hangout on zoom for patrons and ticket holders?
Roll call in the comments. If there’s enough interest, we’ll make it happen!

For those with young children (and/or young at heart), here is a playlist of songs I’ve made for Netflix Jr. Its no Nick Jr, of course. All of them are ‘works made for hire’ so my name isn’t connected to them in any official way. You can find them all on YouTube as well. “You’re a Star” is technically the most po...

Here's a demo for the new Spirit song that I performed poorly on a badly tuned piano and recorded on my iPhone back in July. Spirit reached out last February asking if I had another song in me that could top last year. I was initially very hesitant as I worried it would be difficult writing a sequel to a sequel without getting too niche and meta. I decided early on that it would need to be more...
