Being no fan of political parties, I enjoy mocking the losers (and winners, too). As was true four years ago, I find it is more entertaining (to me) to do so in song:

If you lose to Donald Trump, you really deserve nothing but mockery. How anyone can take Democrats for anything but corrupt and incompetent is telling. For people who told everyone how "smart" they are, they really are not. I also find celebrity arrogance telling. They do not seem to understand their condemnation is an endorsement. I suppose it is all one can expect from people who surround themselves with lackeys and sycophants.

Back At It
It's been awhile since I've lasted posted but I will be getting back at it soon. After changing jobs, which may or may not be related (since I am less disgruntled), I have been busy with my new sound lately, which combines punk with jazz themes, which I call "Punk Jazz" (which is really neither). I've been releasing a song (or more if different versions are involved) a week or so since September, which is pretty darn prolific for me. The adapters for my guitar pedals broke, so I could no longer produce my usual nonsense, and I actually tried playing for once.
Here's a sample:
In general, the vocals are my first or second attempt at writing the song lyrics, which is sort of like scat but not with the skill. I really do not have the finger dexterity to do better with stringed instruments, and drums are just too fucking loud (and most drummers are insane), so I produce percussion effects on a synth (which is more about timing than skill). I can write real music if I try, but it would sound much better if skilled musicians played the parts. I know how to play multiple instruments, but I am certainly no master at anything. I have learned DIY for sound engineering. I suppose I am a song writer and engineer more than anything.
Lately I've had more fun with music than the printed word, but I am beginning to run out of steam (after writing and producing an album's worth of songs in about 8 weeks--the time was better spent than paying much attention to the elections anyway).
