Code Pride!
Those who know me are aware that I’ve been spending a lot of time in the UK. That’s been nice, but it hasn’t really been enough. Now that my lovely wife has landed a very nice job in London, that means we get to live here full time. This is very exciting for both of us. I’ve been able to assemble some musical thought about London and the UK, totaling two albums (so far). This is the first in the series. It has all the optimism and historical baggage that I see in this enchanting country. Things here are smaller. The distances are shorter. The land is less wild, but there are echoes from the past that haunt the modern nation. Some stories are absurd and others just casually tragic, but each song tries to convey my affection and fascination with this wonderful place.

Stupid People
This song is about the poppiest thing I’ve ever written. The video was made by a guy in the UK, who has done great work in the past. Yes, the stupid people here are portrayed as Trump followers. You can always tell who they are. They dress up like flags, mostly. The tune is actually just a general observation about being around people who are profound idiots and how exhausting that is. It may be trolling, but you can dance to it.
