Sorry man, this sucks so very deeply, and is yet another AI is enshittifying the world.

As a worstselling author, I have so far been blissfully unencumbered by AI scammers, I guess irrelevance has its perks!

I’ve had a few cover vids taken down over the years, mostly by old-school publishers (who might not understand that other artists covering a song helps the β€œbrand” more than it hurts it); Paul Simon, for example. Also, that time I concluded a (funeral) video the last chord from β€œA Day in the Life…”

I steer clear of covers unless I feel like my version will bring something new to the party. When my vocals or guitar arrangement are uniquely β€œme,” while leveraging the version in the listener’s head, magic can happen. Weaponized nostalgia can really pack a wallop ;)

Slimy Christmas friends: I inflicted banana slugs upon my family for stocking stuffers.

These were experiments, I’ll move to more robust materials when I put them up for adoption ;)

Pumpkin carved into a basket by notorious twit Mike Craghead. The handle looks braided, the body looks like it’s β€œwoven” from strips. Pumpkin stem still attached, sticking out from the handle. Centerpiece of the table, full of persimmons.
