Middle aged, middle class, songwriter from middle America.
Decided to start releasing things in this universe first, then Spotify and the rest whenever I get around to it. I get more feedback from here than I ever have anywhere else, so thank you all for that. Here’s something you can only hear here. It’s a song about one of the weirdest days of my life, a day that has impacted all the days since. #wavlake #phantompower #music #fuckspotify #natejohnivan
One of my studio monitors (a speaker) stopped working today and I pulled it apart to find that there was a family of mice living in there. Banjo has never been this interested in anything ever. #homestudiosareexpensive #banjo #micesuck #howamisupposedtomixthingsnow
Painting the studio floor tonight in preparation for a video shoot this Saturday. Man I’ve got a LoT of stuff. image
IMO, what will grow Nostr and Bitcoin adoption is ease of use, and content. Value for value podcasts, apps like Fountain and things like Wavlake are a major piece of the puzzle. It’s something fun you can actually do with Bitcoin. I applaud Phantom Power, Fountain, and Wavlake for thinking ahead at what this currency could actually be used for that’s different than fiat. Phantom Power wrote a nice write up for one of my bands songs, more content. Check it out if you’ve got a minute. https://www.phantompowermusic.io/ppmb-new-rock-music/deathbylions #grownostr #wavlake #phantompower #music #deathbylions #natejohnivan #fountain
Since I'm new here I'll start at the beginning. For context: After a major and unexpected life change I found myself moving from a house I had once shared with someone to a tiny apartment above a weed dispensary. And for the first time in my adult life, I was completely alone. I had a decent job luckily, so in that regard I was ok, but that didn't help with what the doctors called "severe depression." My boss at the time was an awful drunk that had recently aquired his 7th drunk driving and was well on his way to the 8th. I was thinking about him and his wife and how some aspects of our lives paralleled as I picked up my guitar and wrote this song. I hadn't written anything in about a decade and this song opened the floodgates leading to hundreds more. Each lyric giving me a chance to squeeze a little pain out of my mind and into the world to be chewed up by anyone listening. Music has quite literally saved me. The female voice you'll here is my friend Cole Hansen who also has music up on WavLake. #wavlake #music #originalmusic #colehansen #natejohnivan #spacereggae
