My good things from 2024

 I make a lot of stuff and don't have a lot of audience. Here's some stuff from this year that's maybe even worth attention.

Cut down on video work this year; only published 150. You don't have to catch all of them.

We're All Going To Abilene!

I swear this could be on Sesame Street. And the Abilene Paradox ought to be known by more people. The papercraft puppet video went better than I expected. The character illustrations are based on those from the first documentary version of The Abilene Paradox, which is a hoot. But so is this.

Gouverneur Morris

Maybe a different founding father deserved an excruciating rap musical. This is more clever than it is enjoyable, but you're used to that.

Absentine stuff

I almost finished an album this year, but didn't quite manage and instead made seven albums (see below). I was working on ideas from the last few years, but newer ideas eclipsed them and the whole project went outta whack. Work-in-progress currently lingers here but I mean to wrap this stuff up.

As I'm finding recording full tracks more difficult, I've started just publishing demos, just so the idea's public, occasionally even on video:

and, much less occasionally, in the form of

Surname songs

Kinda an eighth, and another one for mashups, but I'm still tidying that up.

Cover songs
This isn't work from this year, but the admin was. I had phone recordings of me playing a few thousand songs, with no overlap with YouTube things, and I've published 300 of them on Bandcamp.

I might still figure some more out, as there are undeleted recordings.

On YouTube I did another hundred or so, some of which went like this:

I was still doing Rank the Albums and the Bowie one is massive.

I tried talking about some experiences. Experiences are awful. This is me finally trying to articulate my chronic pain/illness.

Some stuff was fun, like little men in a flying saucer

but mostly it's just
