Sometimes, as a Gen X kid, I wish I'd resolved my problems with authority because I might be doing something real, and then I remember my Uncle Ken, who was a phone lineman for years, being offered a management gig and him saying "I am the boss of no man" in response.
Which is the only response.
All thanks to @pmadtheband.bsky.social
Flattered to hear “Will Until”— is being played on Irish radio, and re-broadcast around the world thereafter.
All thanks to pMad & The Best of Irish Indie!
No idea how many people have heard the song now, but know you can hear/download it (for free) here: etcetc.bandcamp.com/track/will-u...
A new release from Adrian Bestium to add to the embarrassment of riches he’s been sharing this year.
A Singapore-born songwriter intent on following his own path imaginatively in pursuit of his Art. Hear:

Popes usually take their papal names based on the legacies of previous popes with that name. In choosing Leo XIV, it seems that former Cardinal Robert Prevost wants to live up to the legacy of Leo XIII, the "Pope of the Workers" who oriented the Church around social justice for the working class.
who called it woke pope and not Opus DEI
All thanks to @pmadtheband.bsky.social
"I will shift when I go
And I will know when I know
Aye, I will
Until...
I don't"
New Etc. song ahoy at
etcetc.bandcamp.com/track/will-u... for you listening / download pleasure.
If recently-released Etc. song "Ex's Cassettes" shows a Mersey Sound Poet influence: it goes nicely with my spontaneous @willsergeant.com homage (at 02.12) etcetc.bandcamp.com/track/exs-ca...
St Patrick's 2025: Etc. tops The Best of Irish Indie!!
A million thanks to pMad who maybe spotted the song online for his made-in-Galway show aired in UK, USA, New Zealand, Croatia, and beyond!
See etcetc.bandcamp.com/track/dumb-w... to stream/download it as you wish.
And keeponkeepingon.

who did this
hearing Musk called the PM of Poland "little man" and told him to shut up tells me that Musk does not understand what Polish folx are made of.
they have put up with far greater shit than that stupid rich boy.
Not hearing enough noise about Mahmoud Khalil from folks who like to quote the "first they came for" poem. Y'all get that the point is that they came for controversial, easily othered groups first, right? Now, it's trans people, immigrants, and student activists. Your turn will come. Fight now.
Worth a listen to what Al Green says after he was removed from the chamber.
Trump whining that Democrats wouldn't applaud him even if he cured a disease and then a second later bragging about withdrawing from the World Health Organization
This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid
The name has made it a drag for me when I've tried to look them up online. Maybe I should get a more standout name for my music too. -- Thanks, Ben (from Etc.)
Trump crosses the Delaware.
To get his next Putinburo briefing.
Feb / March 2025. After the Zelensky Press-Con.

Thank you. The album came out on Valentine's Day: etcetc.bandcamp.com/album/shirke...
I hope you like it.
J Pie talks Trump / Putin / Farage in language that gets it across better than those I've heard warily discussing the headlines on Sky, BBC, etc.

Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start
This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
Has anyone had anyone you know who voted for this asshole send an apology yet? Or a check in? Like fuck, anything? Y'all fucked us, so at least leave some cash on the dresser.
Trump held a press conference on a deadly crash and somehow managed to blame Obama, Biden, DEI, and even "dwarfism"—but not himself.
He’s in charge of the FAA and the military, but sure, it’s 2020’s fault.

Q: "Where were you at the time of the crime?"
A: "I was in love . . . Wasn't I?"
Just-released Etc. Forensics gives evidence that love is no alibi.

Free to stream or download as you choose.
Only on Bandcamp.
When I played in Japan I was very happy for many reasons. One reason was: I was asked questions about my lyrics. I was flattered. The people who asked were paying attention. And they were curious about meanings / word-play.
