Post No Bills

You may have noticed that this site is ad-free, as are all of my other blogs. Personally, I am not a fan of advertising and try to avoid it at all costs, including my own financial gain. With that in mind, if you want to support my work, then I encourage you to buy my songs and albums (and books) wherever you get your music. 

That, my friends, is the only advertising that you will ever see on these pages.

Don't get me wrong: streaming is cool and very much appreciated, so please keep listening to and sharing my music. I love that. It is worth noting, however, that streaming services don't pay the artist much of anything, and that's true no matter who you are. 

........................................

Today's songs that I would like to share with you are essentially musical expressions of my overall distaste for the advertising industry and its corrosive effect on culture.  

Living in Oblivion is about the passive consumption of mass media and its byproducts. It comes from my recent album: Embers (2021).

    This is not a drill
    Passivity kills
    Perpetual pursuit of profits
    The side effects are toxic

Fever Dream is about a society that produces consumers and little else. It comes from my second to most recent album: Better Days (2019). 

    This fever dream's not what it seems
    The sweat stings your eyes
    Can't you see?
    It's temporary
    All these things that consume our lives

Thanks for listening to my music and checking out my blog. If you dig what I'm doing, please share it.
