One of the kids dated this peculiar kid for a couple weeks. I was showing him around the studio and he asked for a notepad and he started feverishly writing down the “parts” of a song. He was broken up with in a week, but I found the notebook and tried to write the song he had written down. The only lyric he had was “back road.”

Spent the day figuring out how to use every bit of gear I’ve collected over the past decade. So unnecessary, but so awesome. #homestudio #music #originalmusic #wavlake #phantompower

Anybody read the “manifesto” that guy that lit himself on fire wrote? Pretty fucking wild man.

I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial.

My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan.

I met Austin online and we’ve made a few songs together but finally have something out for people to listen to. I give to you Beth, a very weird Kiss cover.

Some friday Nostalgia, a song that pulled me out of a writing slump last year, and those floodgates still haven’t closed. Let’s party.

Lyrically my favorite song I’ve ever written. Cells: Every cell is replaced, every 8 years. You get ten tries if the law of averages serves. So scrub your skin, every morning, be a good host. And watch the drain, as it slowly swallows your ghost. The air in your lungs doesn't mind if you use it to scream or laugh, to kiss or forgive. It will pass unaffected, through your teeth back into the wind. To chase future ships back home again. Her first words to him came quickly. And spilled in his kitchen like gasoline. I know why my blood tastes like metal. It's iron, released from the heart of an exploding star. A billion years ago. It’s unbelievable. A billion years ago. It must be a miracle.

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.

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

Got a message today from a friend going through a divorce, she said “thanks for making me cry at work, asshole.” And she linked this song. So if you’re at work, and going through a divorce, and feel like crying, maybe give this one a spin.

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.
