catharsis
friends,
this week meets us @ episode 700.
things remain uncertain,
and i hope things are well where you are.
somehow,
amidst it all,
it feels important
to keep working things out
in songs.
maybe you know what i mean?
if so,
i hope you'll join me.
tonight's songs:
- all dreams collapse (demo, 2020)
- box of rags (demo, 2020)
- there's another world (splitting, 2015)
love,
russell

distance
friends,
episode 699 is a small podcast, just between us.
with things fraying at the edges,
songs feel even more urgent.
i wonder if you agree?
with that in mind, tonight is about a new one.
i spent a few hours writing + recording it this morning.
it feels right, somehow.
this, along with our global pandemic,
has me preoccupied.
as mentioned,
this is - albert camus
his novel - the plague
a few minutes on - the camus canon
tonight's songs:
- alameda (2020 rough demo)
- alameda (2020 demo 2.0)
- point & wave (pick yr battles, 2010)
be safe,
and please
be kind.
love,
russell
