They exist. 🥳 I talked with @No Good Kid this morning and we are happy with them! The books are in Europe, I have the red cassettes, soon they will meet and I will get them shipped out. Thank you for all those that preordered! In the spirit of keeping things analog, I am only accepting orders via post, which is still available. A digital version, including audio, will be made available once the analog ones have been enjoyed. I will be in the EU in March and can send some maybe with Paketa when I get there.

I am writing a series on Substack about WW1. This post deals with the myth of dying with honor in war.

I did a Lofi-hiphop-jazz poetry thing. First time making a real track in a DAW!

Here’s a preview of the audio that comes as a red cassette for Wasted Blood. If you are in the EU and want a physical copy, let me know! Maybe we can prevent shipping over the ocean twice. Wastedblood.com Cover design by @No Good Kid , Slovak reading by @npub125hw...td8j

I played in a live blues band on Monday. My first time playing in a band since 30 years and my first time with an improv solo. I wrote up my experience here:

Walk out onto the street -- roll the dice

A blues sonnet with a story of my first time playing the blues

Last year I shipped or handed out over 200 tapes. I close out 2025 with this one:

Bitpunk.fm 2.12 -- Vespa Verses

Cassette Review

I got a looper medal and tried it with a trumpet. https://lnbeats.com/album/ef5db97e-a5f3-5375-96a5-ea4749b3e8c3/aHR0cHM6Ly9maWxlcy5iaXRwdW5rLmZtL3NwZWN0cmFsLWhpZGluZy0yOC1kZWFyLWZyaWVuZC5tcDM

YouTube catnip for this crowd.

I learned how to do Live Loops with a trumpet (at the 1:30 mark or so).

Wasted Blood, my first printed collection of poems is on its way to the printer. There will be a DeMu audio book after the 100 limited edition books are released. For this audience, you can replace “cash” with “cashu” (mail me printed out cashu token) and the same procedure applies. Many thanks to @No Good Kid for bringing such a powerful design to the words!

Welcome, Wasted Blood
