My first album was released on cassette tape on this day in 1998. It was available at several Portland and Seattle record shops but mainly it was other PNW bands who were tuned in at that time. Everybody else was pretty confused about what they were hearing and seeing, if I’m being honest.

Over the course of the next 25 years, I released 10 records, 41 music videos, 8 EPs, and 7 stand-alone singles. Some were self-released, some were put out by indie labels, and a couple were projects on major labels. I’ve had my songs featured in major fashion campaigns, commercials, films, and TV shows. My life and art have been covered extensively by all kinds of media. I’ve taken some really big swings and have had some really big misses — but I’ve also had decades of incredible home runs. Lots to be proud of, and at the end of the day, just still being here with all of you, getting to create music and movies that help me make sense of my feelings and experiences in the world for a quarter of a century, is perhaps my greatest achievement.

Full catalog is up on Bandcamp — even the out of print and deeply problematic stuff I wish didn’t exist. The reality is, it does exist, and I own every moment of it. Most of this stuff is available everywhere music is found.

Thank you for being here in the mess with me. Album 11 is coming after the new year on the world’s greatest record label.
