A mysterious and bracing track ……. Full of cool ideas and exciting twists and turns. Good to see you back Justin, and that it’s a positive start to the new year :)

This is a totally cool tune, love the clumsiness of the beat.  And thanks for sharing your story -- I wish you all the power and luck in the world for keeping the fog out of your head and the other way round!

Superb¡¡very creative souns and design¡¡

Cool sort of circus feeling to this piece. Humour in music is quite rare for some reason. There is Zappa, Devo, Talking Heads, but not so many others in my experience. Maybe we musicans are a bit too pretentious sometimes. I allways sense a inner child in you that refuse to be silenced, its certainly reflected in your music. not something childish(immature), but rather childlike. This is a healthy counterbalance to your intellectual seriousness i feel. If you see pink elephants only when you sober up, i think these creatures are a sign of playtime, rather then a psychotic regression. Wonderful music and(no insult intended) FUNNY!

This is awesome, love the sounds, percussion and arrangement. So many scenes pop into my mind as I listen. Thanks for opening up the doors

Oh, I love the heavy kick sounds. They definitely resemble elephants’ heavy footsteps! The high, short sounds remind me of monkeys’ cries. I really enjoyed the “safari tour” with this track. Thank you, Justin!

the elephants trunk with a squeak on it. dope thrack... awesome elements and gotta save a few melodies for the rest of us

Greetings my SC friends. It’s been a strange few months, and I am excited to be back. But I have a feeling it’s not going to look like it did… at least for the near future. I’m having a hard time organizing my thoughts lately. And while the musical energy is flowing better than ever, my ability to write satisfying liner notes is feeling a little clogged (this will be my 6th attempt at this write-up). 

As much as I regret it, the write-ups may need to stay on hold for a while longer. But first, I wanted to share what happened (in the form of a write-up. Lol). 

For starters, it’s important to mention I’ve been an alcoholic since I was 15 (a 40 year relationship). And although I genuinely loved what a nice beer buzz did for my noisy mind, I also knew what toxic alcoholism looked like (from many examples in my extended family). So I knew I had my work cut out for me, if I wanted to overcome my genetic dependancy. 

Granted, I also have a ‘responsibility’ vein that runs deep. I did my best to prioritize my family and responsibilities first (‘don’t drink til 5:00. Don’t drink if ya have to drive’ kinda stuff), and I considered myself a ‘functioning alcoholic’. Truthfully, I was never ashamed of my drinking. As a teenager, the ability to not give a shit that I found in a beer buzz honestly saved my life. And it allowed me to unplug from the noise for many decades after that.

But I wanted to do better than that, so I started making changes quite a while ago. Here’s a brief summary of how that unfolded:

1. Back in 2006 I concluded my negative headspace was the root of the problem (perspective is huge); so I altered my daily routines, knowing it would take years to undo the lifetime of programming that caused that thinking in the first place. I started consuming info that was positive and hopeful and loving (and avoided negative info like my life depended on it… which it did). And I did that intensively for the next 15 years.

2. But by January of 2023, I realized the beer buzz no longer quieted the noise and ugliness happening in the world (it all went too chaotic too fast). So if the crutch wasn't helpful, it needed to go. That’s when I tried Tai Chi (to give my mind something else to focus on). And it worked brilliantly.

3. Over the next 6 months, thanks to the calmer headspace created by Tai Chi, I cut my drinking tremendously (and for perspective, we’re talking 9-18 Natties daily… down to 3-6 Natties daily). The surprise outcome… the fog in my mind was clearing for the first time, and I was not prepared for sober adult Justin (man is my brain chattery when left to it’s own devices). So at the beginning of August 2023, I decided to take my Social Media break. That was more timely than I could have imagined, because…

4. On August 26th I was given the gift of Pancreatitis (the disease that lets you know ‘Wow, Dude. You drink way too much’). I went to the Emergency room with terrible intestinal pain, and I ended up in the hospital for 5 days. Long story short, I left the hospital sober, and have been that way ever since. And I’m genuinely happy about that… because thankfully, I did a great job preparing for that day.

So in a nutshell... I am back. But the writings may have to wait a while longer (at least until I figure out how my new clearer headspace works). Interestingly, I managed to produce almost an entire album of new music over my break, so I'll put those new songs up on SC over the coming weeks. 

And since I’m just a few songs short of completion, I’ll be releasing a very personal album (symbolizing my adventures with sobriety) very soon. It’s called ‘What Color Is Your Paradox?’, and I hope to have it on Bandcamp in February.

In the meantime, I’m happy to be back. And I look forward to seeing what all of you have been up to over the last few months. :)

 Big hugs from your blatantly open-book friend.
-Justin

Hello brain
It's been a while
Hello grey matter
Life never tasted any better

So many things we do
Look at this mess
Good news is:
If we did it, we can undo it
We can unscrew it
If you're up to it
We can see this through

We can love and respect and protect and connect
We can see, we can feel, we can let it be and agree
We can allow different world views
Kung Fu, Zulu, Voodoo, Urdu
We can choose not to subdue

Hello white matter
Come on, let's try this
Life never tasted any better
