Yours portly has been composing like a madman, and finished up Spooky Season III this past Wednesday, 25 September 2024.  It’ll be hitting Bandcamp and all streaming services (including Spotify for the first time in a year!) this Friday, 4 October 2024, which is also Bandcamp Friday.

It is a massive release:  eleven tracks in total, clocking in at around forty-one (41) minutes of music.  My goal was to move away from the super short compositions, and specifically to avoid any tracks under one minute.  Only two tracks are under two minutes in length, and those are just one and four seconds under.

Last week I previewed four tracks for subscribers (and one for my freeloading—uh, I mean, loyal—readers):  “Dancing in the Graveyard,” “Rain on Halloween,” “Curious Little Ghosties,” and “Boneyard Blues.”

This week, I’ll feature four more.  Here’s one for all of my readers to enjoy, the opening track:  “Heavy Metal Mummy”:

What other succulent tunes await?

Phone it in Friday XL: YouTube Roundup II

June is nearly over, and July starts tomorrow.  I’ll be hitting the road for a week in Indianapolis to visit my older brother, which means I’ll probably get another poorly-selling travel book out of the deal—maybe something like Midwestern Musings, Washingtonian Woes.  Of course, I need to finish my series on the wild, stressful trip to Washington, D.C., from this March.  For whatever reason, I just haven’t had it in me to continue writing that saga, even though the best (and, at the time they occurred, the worst) parts are yet to come.

But I digress.  In the spirit of shameless self-promotion, here’s another edition if YouTube Roundup, in which I showcase some of my recent YouTube uploads.  Feel free to follow my YouTube page.  Watch a video, like it, leave a comment—whatever you’d like.  I upload approximately once a week, sometimes more.
