PUMPKIN MAN

Congratulations! You are one of the cool kids who gets to see PUMPKIN MAN a day before the rest of the world.

SPOILERS BELOW:

My brother Jakey shot this whole thing on Sunday. I had a very hard time securing a child so I offered the role of father and son to Jon and Asa, respectively. Eric tagged along as an extra pair of hands, but we got a call late into the afternoon that Asa...

"Yup, It's Spooky Time" Spotify Playlist

Happy October to all!

I added all of my spooky songs to a Spotify Playlist and will continue adding the new ones every week in October.

October Project '23 is in full swing with 'Living Dead In Washington D.C.' being unleashed upon the world. I'll be honest - between Dianne Feinstein dying, the ethical debate surrounding AI generated images, and it being perceived by some as agei...

Big Nick & The Boys Are Coming

Here's a first look at something I'll be putting out on socials today. Outstanding work here from Noah Campagna. You all will remember Noah for his terrific car bumper in SNL #3.

If anyone is planning on traveling to Chattanooga for the show and would like to meet up with likeminded individuals, there is a channel on discord where fine folks like yourself are planning activities for the ...

Living Dead in D.C. (Patreon Exclusive)

Hello Patrons!

October Project 2023 is nearly upon us, and to help make up for the radio silence over the past weeks, I've decided to release song #1 a week early exclusively for patrons.

*Disregard if you would like to experience the authentic October release with all of the non-patron plebeians!*

This one is radically different from all of the other October songs. It's p...

PUMPKIN MAN

Thanks to everyone who participated in 'Let's Write a Song! Vol 4.' I was not feeling great about the progress made Saturday night, but I'm really happy with where it has ended up! Sometimes songs pour out and sometimes they're like pulling teeth. Nevertheless, guidance from the group was top notch. I think there was an added pressure to make sure this one wasn't just an 'in-joke' to those tuni...

SNL Ep3: Celebration of Summertime THIS SATURDAY!

Holy toledo!  

Apologies for a MONTH of radio silence. What in gremlin hell is wrong with me?!

It's been a month of family vacations, sick kids, sick spouses and lots of work on Saturday Nick Lutsko Part III.

I started writing this one back in late April and we've been actively working on it since then. Every one of these has become more collaborative than the one bef...

Taxpayer Jukebox

Bonjour!


AKA Hi.


Here's a cool thing! Fellow taxpayer, Mike, has taken all of the patron exclusive soundboard recordings and made a 24 hr radio station on YouTube. For those of you who don't enjoy Dropbox (myself included), this is a fun and easy way to enjoy these songs. I'm excited to dive deeper into the vault and see what else can be utilized here.

**Disclaimer** I started writing this on the Sunday after the SWORDS stream but was pulled away from it.

Thanks everyone for tuning into the SWORDS stream! We had a blast, despite the non-functioning AC. The zoom after party will be up soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to share the live debut of Carnival.

Thanks to Nym for requesting it. If I'm being totally honest, I didn't th...

Wow! What a fun time in Birmingham, AL! So many patrons! Thank you for traveling from all over the world (literally, Maria came from Germany)! I had a lovely time meeting and greeting everyone. We took a group photo but where it ended up is a mystery! I'll post on discord once it's retrieved.

Creativity Workshop Replay: Obituary

Thanks to everyone who tuned in last night, and apologies for the initial technical difficulties.

I really enjoyed doing a deep dive on Obituary. I feel like I could have gone a few more hours! I appreciate everyone humoring me and allowing me to be a bit more vulnerable than usual.

Let me know if you all have any suggestions for future topics.

Until then!
