I Used to Wonder by Michael JochumnullRead on Substackhttps://substack.com/embedjs/embed.js

Well, it finally happened. Killed by corporate greed. Paramount wanted to save $500 million, after it’s merger with Skydance Media. It isn’t as surprising as it is overdue. We still have the internet to find new music with, which MTV abdicated long ago. But, a common gathering space for popular culture is gone. Everything is fragmented into tiny niches now, siloing us all into our own little…

Not to anybody’s surprise, I got booted out of Death Cat after 8.5 months… on my birthday. Oh, well. It is both a bummer and a relief. They are going on tour without me. But, I don’t have to be stressed out all of the time. It was educational, at least. There is no animosity between us. We are still friends. We knew it wasn’t going to work out. I asked if I should quit, a few months ago, to give…

Death Cat has replaced another band that had to cancel at Harpo’s, opening first for Leftover Crack. Then, we are playing at The Garden Bowl on Woodward Ave., performing last on the bill.

Here is an update for the end of August. Death Cat has not kicked me out (yet). We a show this Saturday at the Planet 9 Film Fest. In September we will be touring up to New York City to play at Planet 9 Film Fest there and back. We probably won’t be at the Los Angeles Planet 9 Film Fest this year. I dunno if there even is one being held in Chicago this year. I have incomplete Theee Urban…

Here is the DEATH CAT 2024 TOUR SCHEDULE (so far). We are still adding shows and raising funds for expenses. So, if you can’t make it to one, would you donate some gas/food money? click the pic above! Thank you!

DEATH CAT ! Jan 13 2024- Ant Hall Hamtramck MI DEATH CAT, a friend’s band, needed a bass player in their new lineup. So, I’m it… at least until I get kicked out. We have been practicing for couple of months, about every week. Tomcat (guitar/vocals) is booking us a short tour for this Autumn. We are re-recording some old songs from 15 years ago, maybe better quality this time! I’m still learning…

I have been listening to advice from producers of many genres; pop-rock, metal, punk, hip-hop, jazz, electronic, commercial jingles, etc. I have been re-learning things I already knew, but needed reminding of, and picking up other things that I never thought about much. Some of it is technical. Some is philosophical. If noone ever taught you anything you’d die stupid. It got me thinking about the…

I was planning to add a video to this. But, it has already taken too long to get this out. Maybe next time. In the middle of December I didn’t have any heat. Usually, the tenants below are burning me out and I have to keep a window open all winter. Christmas Eve, around 11:00pm, a pipe burst in my living room and flooded the entire apartment. No one from the building’s emergency maintenance…

Happy Independence Day 2022

Happy birthday to America! It feels a bit odd to celebrate the “Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” when our theocratic fascist SCOTUS is stripping away our rights and the GOP (Gang of Putin) is cowering behind Donald Trump, doing his bidding. He is no longer president. He has no power, but what they give him. These delusional idiots live in an alternate reality, folks! I don’t…

And we thought 2020-2021 was bad.
