ICYMI: unearthed an essay from a year ago on a Peter Peter Hughes one-off song about Maserati that never actually mentions Maserati. And as long as it's all negative space being filled in around the figure, we may as well follow it outward, and outward...

Hello! Peter Hughes has a new vinyl release of last year's 'Half-Staff Blues,' but I love to find inopportune times to talk about his older work. I wrote this essay about his digital one-off single "Three Weeks In Sicily" (2017) last year, but put it in a drawer. claremontcometh.net/essays/orany...

FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT FINALLY: Peter just said on livestream that he IS getting records made, and Half-Staff Blues will be available in a physical release hopefully late this summer. I've been waiting a year and a half to hear him say that and I know a few other people will be very excited.

Are you working on an end-of-year retrospective on new music you liked in 2025? You don't have a physical copy of Half-Staff Blues to remind you, but I will! (And I'll keep asking Peter about a small run of something in 2026...) peterpeterhughes.bandcamp.com/album/half-s...

my solemn promise to you all is Claremont Cometh will always be a text-based website. no drop downs. no video. no slick UI. you will never see me implement those three lines up in the corner (i'm told this is called a "hamburger"; i hate this) or a carousel. oldweb simpleweb one-way info web forever

It's that time of year again. The site remains stable with all of its archival material! I'm in a cert program for industrial maintenance, hoping to secure apprentice hours for an eventual journeyperson credential. But I've been unemployed for a year, and my 2025 income was about $3,000 gross.

Unexpected: the SSL cert fee ($100) for claremontcometh came due at the same time as 5 other things, and my new job has cut our hours. Going to do something I've worked very hard to not have to do, and I feel awful, but there is a ko-fi for emergencies: ko-fi.com/claremontcom...

We're still looking for someone in the Inland Empire area to adopt or foster this little tortoiseshell kitty. I'm willing to drive halfway to L.A. if anyone there wants to meet up to take her.

Those curious about Mark, Joel, and Wckr Spgt can consult the (early build, in revisions) Guide to Navigating The Spgt Site here: claremontcometh.net/directory/sp... Then swim around at your leisure.

the @themountaingoats.bsky.social book club for today is "Song for Mark and Joel," and consequently first mention in _This Year_ of Wckr Spgt — on page 26 of 532, because it's important to establish foundations early on. (cc @claremontcometh.bsky.social)

Small update to Claremont Cometh's page on DiskothiQ: a note on the origins of the band name (along with the extant notes on pronunciation) since people have asked. This year I'd like to add some more DiskothiQ history notes from our conversations on the Tired podcast, so look forward to that.

image of a cassette tape that says "DiskothiQ" with this text below it: DiskothiQ (1992 - 1999) shows up in catalogs, zines, interviews, and around the web varyingly as Diskothi-Q, DiskothiQ, Diskothiq, Diskothi Q, etc. I had used "Diskothi-Q" for simplicity's sake on the site for a few years, partly because it helps with the pronunciation (dis-KOTH-uh-cue, FYI, not disko-thick or disko-tick or disko-teek) but on December 4th, 2024, I finally directly asked Peter Hughes about his preference, and he came out on the anti-hyphen side, so I'm working on making that consistent across the site. However, the Q being capitalized is important. For the curious: a college friend of Peter's, upon seeing a sign that said "discotheque" and not knowing how to pronounce it, asked: "what's a dis-KOTH-a-cue?" and the rest is history.
