the word count for the lyrics of my new album is just over 3,000
at least two of these songs sound like the imaginary soundtrack to a high school prom dance filled with miserable and lonely people who don’t really want to be with each other but who are too scared of loneliness to do what’s good for them

only 5 out of the 11 songs are not FCC clean but it kind of feels like all of them aren’t
so i’m submitting my new album as part of a senior project next week and the last thing i have to do is censor every non FCC appropriate lyric. obviously the version that i officially release will be uncensored but this process is the most soul-crushing thing i’ve done in a while
follow for more fun & relatable posts :-)
i was walking into the library today and this group of middle school girls said in unison (???) “we like your outfit” and then one was like “it’s so hipster!!” and then they all walked away and started singing “22” so like
that was interesting i guess
also i think that no matter how many years pass since middle school, groups of middle school girls will always intimidate me. now they confuse me too
this is my goal in life
Karrie Bulger was kind enough to host me on her radio show Moon Cheese Baby on WCNI in New London CT. I’ll be playing stripped down versions of songs from the new album along with some older stuff over the course of the next hour. I’ll also be answering some interview questions. Really exciting! Tune in at the link above.
I’m doing an acoustic solo set on the radio for Moon Cheese Baby on WCNI this morning from 11 to 12 Eastern time.

MY NEW ALBUM DROPS ON MAY 24th 2013, TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY.
As you probably know by now, it’s called Could Be Bitter Forever. That’s the thematically appropriate, self-absorbed cover art above. It will be available to stream and download on my BANDCAMP PAGE for FREE online at MIDNIGHT on 5/24. My band and I recorded it over the past four months at The Mannor in Wallingford, Connecticut with Ian Bates of Manners. I’m incredibly proud of how well this album turned out, and I look forward to hearing what you all think about it.
In addition to my contributions as songwriter, the record features a host of supplementary musicians and vocalists including some of my best friends. Could Be Bitter Forever is by far the most ambitious art project I have ever taken on, and it sounds better to me than I could have possibly expected, thanks largely to the work of the incredibly talented people who helped me make it. Check out the tracklist below and please reblog!
