I wanted to record this poem as it speaks of a simmering panic. The tension of controlling our public face while wrestling to contain the flames of our inner terrors is so beautifully expressed by Sylvia Plath.

Street Song By Sylvia Plath

First Orgasm (Dresden Dolls Cover)

A track I laid down after a hallucinogenic-style lucid-dream nightmare, from which I woke crying and suffocating...lyrics & spoken word to comé soon, but this captures the mood, especially with the stopping and starting, irregular tempo.

Is this what it feels like to float in space, Dad? Made this for you. Me on both guitars and drums. In loving memory of my Father, Rex Gorman. Happy would-be 77th year. Love, as always.

Amanda Palmer presents an intimate conversation with Lenny Henry, recorded December 17, 2019 in London.

Lenny Henry is one of the most successful British stand-up comedians of all time. In 1975, at just 17, his career took off when he was a repeat winner on the weekly TV talent show, "New Faces.” He went on to host his own sketch comedy program, "The Lenny Henry Show," starting in 1984. Later, Lenny stared in the 90’s BBC sitcom, “Chef!"  Lenny is a founder, front-man and a creative force behind the charity Comic Relief.

In this episode we talk about the paradoxes of celebrity and social media, how the internet is a buffet, starting a career in entertainment in Working Mans’ Clubs, using humor as armor against racism, the history of minstrelsy in the UK, making your work the structure of your life, giving your loved ones fair warning when you publish a memoir, the beautiful meld of words and images in comic books, the power of masks and fiction and why giving advice to younger artists is so important.

An article I wrote on pedrogorman.medium.com about what I would do if the doctor told me I only had 30 days left to live. It’s a fun, sarcastic reads to the sound of a song I wrote and played all instruments, which I had to loop, like 5 times because the essay was huge... but I in its unique way it works!
