We lost a long time member of the conlang community today. Jim Henry's primary work was his longtime personal language gyâ-zym-byn (frequently referred to as gzb), in which he was completely fluent. He'd journal in it daily, which I found astonishing. I used gzb in a reverse relay, where you use someone else's conlang to translate a text, and then send it to the conlanger who created the language. I spent time with him at a number of conlang events over the years, and was saddened to hear of his passing. If you have a spare moment today, take a look at gyâ-zym-byn. It was a large, impressive work. Jim will be missed. <3

Another year, another song jam! Last November-December, another cohort of incredibly talented musicians came together to tackle four new sets of songwriting challenges. Then, we made a compilation album about it.

No cuts. No major revisions. 22 delicious original tracks, with new music from fan-favorite rockers and brilliant new voices alike. It's a testament to the ability and enthusiasm of every single participant in our 2025 song jam that this compilation album is as good as it is. But don't take our word for it—Pre-order the Fourth Strike Song Jam 25 album now, and enjoy the zippy, confident, and ridiculously catchy preview track, "Monadnock," by @lordcakespy and Aran P. Ink.

Up for preorder now!
