Sublime eclectic mayhem. That’s been my playlist project and musical life, one that begins with The Muppet Movie soundtrack and later involves performing hymns, death metal, surf, and bluegrass. I’ve played in theaters, tents, and basements, for multi-stage festivals and squirrel rodeos. I’ve written and recorded music for The Drunken Odyssey. Sublime eclectic mayhem. A warning and a welcome for joyous noise, for those navigating what Beckett called “this bitch of an earth.”

Another sunrise 
curdles like eggs. 

Houses, still dark,
congeal on the horizon
like the day’s truths

splayed on plates, 
squeezed into glasses,

or thrown from cars
and running down walls.

Another Sunrise
