Starkid is one of the absolute best arguments for supprting independent art. The fact that the shows you're invested in can't get canceled by Big Daddy Streaming, the quality is always amazing, the love of the cast and crew doesn't get squeezed out by surprise budget reductions, the fact that since crowd funding provides almost all costs up front (plus the presence of voluntary digital ticket/in person tickets for additional funding), the fan base can access the full material for whatever cost they can contribute (even if you can give nothing monetarily, you will still get a professionally shot version of the material eventually, without surprise fees or password crackdowns, AND with captions/completely accesible regardless of location). The same goes for Tin Can Bros, Shipwrecked, and all the other associated theater and web series companies loosely connected to Starkid. Like, I cannot believe the amazing content provided to us at the same level as Broadway or streaming services with billion dollars at hand, with almost none of the catches that come with others. Like, I cannot believe that we get all of this right at our hands.

“Many say the moon is closer to the dead.”

This is COLOR OF A MIRROR, my debut novel with an original, dark ambient soundtrack by composer Josh McCausland to go along with it.

Written, designed, and published by me, it’s the culmination of years of work, and it’s exactly the story I wanted to tell. It’s not loud or bombastic, but rather a cerebral, slow-burn cyberpunk narrative lingering on themes of fame, paranoia, religion, and technology. If you’re a fan of the brooding futures of William Gibson, Blade Runner, or anything with a mood like the movie Drive, I think you’ll find something to love here.

Available exclusively on my website, it comes in limited edition deluxe-hardcover, softcover, and e-book. (And if you’re a vinyl lover, the soundtrack is pressed in 180g Moondust White; also available on my site.)

Welcome to the Dive. Hope to see you around.

-Dan

spotify wrapped is out and i'm sort of baffled to learn lovejoy is my top artist this year. then again to be fair. i DID loop portrait of a blank slate for like, a month, maybe this shouldn't surprise me. anyway for the curious,

[image ID: my spotify wrapped. my top artists were Lovejoy, C418, AlicebanD, SIAMES, and The Garages. my top songs were Portrait of a Blank Slate, Sometimes, Saint Bernard, Call Me What You Like, and Rules. i listened to 18,755 minutes of music, and my top genre was pov: indie. /end ID]

now please tell me what "pov: indie" means please why doesn't that just say like, "indie rock" or "indie pop" or something that's a real genre please,

#spotify wrapped #the garages being on my top artists was ALSO a surprise given that i got into them BASICALLY ENTIRELY INDEPENDENT OF BLASEBALL #and i had no idea i apparently listened to them that much #c418 is on there because minecraft music is excellent writing music #and siames and aliceband are just perpetual favorites #also its hilarious how much of this playlist is the same as last year's I DO NOT CHANGE AS A PERSON LETS GO--
