This is an unfinished demo of what I think would be the soundtrack to the 1966 Compton's Cafeteria Riots, in which police came to arrest trans women customers at the cafeteria, using unnecessary force (of course) and one of the women ignited a riot by throwing coffee in the face of the cop. This is the sound of some of the US's earliest trans rights activists, even before the Stonewall Riots three years later, beating the shit out of fascist cops with chairs, high heels, and heavy purses. 😎👍 Punk as fuck. The song takes its title from the documentary film by Susan Stryker and Victor Silverman. Lyrics: It's time to start Start some shit We don't need you Get the fuck away! It's time to break Break some shit You get the FUCK Out of my face! Let's end this shit Once and for all We're not fucking going away [Instrumental]more

My new EP is out! Three songs inspired by and evocative of the Pacific Crest Trail - 2,660 miles of mountain hiking from Mexico to Canada - which I am currently hiking. Lyrics: Daylight breaking And I'm broken too Pieces of me Come breaking through Opened mind And shattered scream The mountain hears My silent dreams yeah Going on a long time Since I've been home Going on a long ride On my own Taking on the big sky Make it my own Going for the all time All alone All is dark Before the dawn Fire on the rock I stand up on Raise my hands And grip the stars Pull them down To where you are I am made from the wounds of the earth Stones and sky to mark my birth The crush of heaven rolling down Never lost to where I'm found Blood and water flowing down Carve my soul From sacred sound Ancient rhythms Shake the ground Sing to me And lay me down yeahmore

Here's some riffy, poppy post punk from my new album project. Lyrics: Kill my darlings All my pretty ones inside my head All my daydreams dancing, dancing Dancing til they're dead Pretty girls make pretty wrecks Cracking porcelain smiles I'm so pretty, oh so pretty Pretty goddamn fragile Break me now Break me down Like a doll, I'm in your hands I'm just a little toy You get a grip, and twist my head Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Strip me to my skin And bare the weight of all my sin Get me high on mental glue And I fall apart again! Break me now Break me down more
