IT’S HAPPENING

A cassette release for It’s Him! by Dim Jim. He has been waiting for ages. Of course now he’s dead so a lot of good it does him. But still, maybe it’s a tribute to him or something.

It's Him! Cassette release

December 7, 2022

It will be the first cassette release I’ve done in quite some time. I believe there may be some copies of some old stuff still floatin around out there but don’t look for it. You won’t find it and it isn’t any good anyway.

I’m doing a hundred copies of this set. I guess this makes Microwave Eyes into something of a real label now. Except there isn’t likely to be a release from someone else in the near future unless I stumble into some extra cash, like I did just recently, enabling the production of these cassettes several months earlier than I had anticipated. Everyone’s gotta get lucky every once in a while so I’m not complainin. It’s going to be a nice pretty pink cassette tape with all the lettering imprinted right on the plastic. None of those paper labels for Dim Jim. He’d be proud if he could see how this is going to turn out.

Also there will be download cards included, in case anybody still uses those. If not it still will make a nifty souvenir.

Long, long ago

I held a secret wish to be a part of something. To join or form some sort of an organization like an arts collective or humanitarian groop or even just a band that sticks together. But between life events and social difficulties owed to undiagnosed neurodivergence (more on that in a later post, maybe) this dream has yet to be realized.

So I did what any reasonably imaginative person would do. I created imaginary friends for myself. OK, they’re more like characters, alter-egos. Thus was born the WOLF NOTE COLLECTIVE.

It provided an uninhibited framework for me to do all kinds of things whether I’m any good at them or not, free of the psychic censor that whispers “you’re not good enough” in my ear. Things like drawing and painting and fiction writing and videos and music.

Also long ago I used to do some blogging. Typical prose responses to whatever was going on in the world or my personal life. This was probably ten years ago or so.

The Return of the Wolf Note Blog

November 17, 2022

I don’t think it’s in the cards for me to return to that. But since I have a website, and it has this blog built in, I might as well get some use out of the thing. I’ll use it along with social media and physical media (flyers, stickers, etc) to announce shows and to promote new works. And if I can’t behave myself, may occasionally (very occasionally) vivify these virtual vistas by venting a bit of verdant, viscid, verbiage.

The idea is to go out and perform and share my work out in the world however I can and go see other people’s shows and support them the best I can, and use online stuff (blog, YouTube, Bandcamp, etc) to promote that, and vice versa. Nothing fancy or unusual. Normal things.

I would be very appreciative of your comments or suggestions, here or on my Instagram or Facebook or YouTube channel, when stuff appears in one of these places. Your feedback helps me grow and improve, and hopefully deliver on whatever promise is inherent in the work.

Thank you!

James
