Folks, if all 11 Democrats had shown up, the motion to recommit still would have passed. Republicans just would have held the vote open until they got enough members there to get to a majority. Please, I beg you, log off and get a different hobby if you don't understand this.

doing some intermittent spotlights this week on some of the tunes from my october challenge. Each song written and recorded entirely in a day:

I'd love to keep plugging my blocktober playlist, but today's bandcamp friday! and I've got two other musical items for your attention:

Every day of October I wrote, recorded, and mixed a song. I think they're all very good! Explored a lot of different genres, went to some pretty far out places. Got to try things that wouldn't fit with FO's tone. also did a lot more singing than I expected 😳 on.soundcloud.com/i6baH1teGpZC...

Blocktober 2026

Each song written, recorded, and mixed in a single day, for 31 days. A "block" is a section of music in the Reason DAW.

Reminder about how the US constitution works, and the numbers needed to override vetos. Don't go crying in 2028 about how the Dems didn't do enough, and loudly proclaiming that voting doesn't matter. RTFM

31 songs in 31 days, done. and they're all fuckin excellent Imma go cry and sleep and maybe upload it the next few days. or wait until after the election i dunno

why oh why did I plan to have the last song with lots of singing the day after a loud night of shouting at a party?

Last year I wrote this horror story for the spooky season. I'm still very proud of it!

I wrote a scary story this month, hope it creeps you out drive.google.com/file/d/1b2sC... also on reddit: www.reddit.com/r/shortstori...

This song-a-day challenge is the most unhinged thing I've ever done. 7-10 hours a day for 23 days straight, and then I have the bright idea to step it up for a bigger project today. 13 hours and counting, but it's fuckin awesome

Doing a challenge to fully write/record/mix a (non-FO) song every day this month. Honestly, they've all been total bangers but gotta share this one: on.soundcloud.com/ZQRc5k8B0IXJ...

It's #bandcampfriday! Which means when you purchase Come and Get It, the band matches your amount and sends it all to the #ACLU. Last month we raised over $500. If you missed it, here's your chance! fatheroctopus.bandcamp.com/album/come-a...

Come and Get It, by Father Octopus

shout out to @darcydee.bsky.social for her excellent art that perfectly nails the vibe of the track the thumbnails from links have been cropping and tinting it so here it is in its true glory

The b-side for Come and Get It, "Bad Penny" is a cover of a tune by Steve Albini's old noise band Big Black. He probably would have hated it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9zh...

TIL when you make an album public on soundcloud, it doesn't make its tracks private, so The Taste of Victory has been sitting there with no tracks for years. well I guess have a listen to the old stuff, new single on bandcamp tomorrow. soundcloud.com/fatheroctopu...
