The music video that got me signed to a major label was released 19 years ago today (in 2006!)

I have no idea why this worked at the time, but it did. You probably had to be there to understand except I was there and I still don’t.

TO BE CRINGE IS TO BE FREE.

It should be said that I was still on very bad drugs in 2006. My songs were weird and dark and I had all kinds of ideas that seem super edgelord to me when I watch now. I really was trying to say something at the time and I guess I said it? But LOL cocaine makes people stupid and bad. I’m 18 years in recovery from this exact time.

Some pretty OK songs from that time though and I do forgive myself for being such a mess back then because like what else am I gonna do? Stay mad at a 25 year old raver forever?! Can’t be me.

Well, people…we did it again! Last Saturday night was the biggest Blow Pony ever. Thanks so much for coming out, y’all! My favorite part of the night was when Beth Ditto & Nathan “Brace Paine” Howdeshell (from Gossip) were dancing front and center during “Come Home”. Oh my God. Portland is my favorite.

For those of you who weren’t there (and for those of you who were, but couldn’t get past security to get upstairs for my set) below is a bit of what went down on stage with me and The Gentry.

Here are our opening 2 songs, “Smoke Rings” and “Bottom Your Way To The Top”. This was so fun.

…we went from there into “Come Home”…

…and “Write It On My Left Arm” (with a little bit of me preaching to the queers beforehand about telling all the gay hating fuckwads who think we should burn in hell for being ourselves to go screw)…

Big thanks to Airick and the Pony crew for having us play their Pride party and to Kaj-Anne Pepper, Jer Ber Jones, Christeene and all the resident Blow Pony DJs for being so cool and making things awesome with us! We had a great night.
