Me Lucky Charms

With St. Patrick’s Day in sight, this month’s featured track is “Me Lucky Charms.” It’s a swaggering, tongue-in-cheek take on the Irish leprechaun…  not the cute cartoon version, but a sharp-tongued trickster “full of spit and vinegar and a little sin.” SixFootStilts · Me Lucky Charms The song leans into the stereotypes on purpose: Guinness, jigs, pipes, St. Paddy’s Day walls plastered with his face, while reminding us that legend is often “bigger than truth.”…

Tricksters, Storms & Studio Vibes

If this winter has taught us anything, it’s how to shovel. We’ve had a record-breaking amount of snow this season — the kind where you clear the driveway and by morning it looks like you never touched it. And just when it feels like we might be turning a corner, there’s another storm forecast for mid-March. Classic. March is supposed to signal the shift toward spring. Instead, we’re still digging out. And in a funny…

Friends

(From Manifestation) A personal note about the featured song this month. Friends happens to be one of my wife Sandra’s favorite tracks on Manifestation. Which is mildly amusing, given that it’s essentially a song about being gently but firmly reassigned to the emotional penalty box. When I re-read the lyrics the other night, I had one of those moments where you think, “Wait a second… should I be worried?” I asked her. She laughed. Turns…

Manifestation, Momentum & a New Way to Listen

January has a way of forcing reflection. Short days. Long nights. Enough quiet to hear what’s actually been building. This month we are releasing Manifestation—an album that now feels less like a destination and more like a turning point. Manifestation was written and recorded in late 2022 and early 2023, when we were still operating under the name Return to Zero. Somewhere in that process during the writing, recording, listening back we realizing what we were no…

Envious

“Envious” from the album Rabbit Shtu: Magic, Myth, Monsters & High Strangeness, wraps a supernatural tale around a very human feeling: longing for what really matters. Told from the perspective of a newly minted vampire, the song playfully dismantles the fantasy of immortality. Eternal life, supernatural power, and endless nights sound impressive until you realize what’s missing. No sunrises. No tears. No compassion. No shared moments that give life its meaning. At its heart, Envious is a…

Season’s Greetings & Gratitudes

As the year draws to a close, we want to take a moment to extend a simple, heartfelt thank you from Sly, Lote, and myself JawnyB. December naturally invites both celebration and reflection. It’s a time when we pause to enjoy moments with family, friends and community, to celebrate and just be together. Wherever you find yourself this season, we hope it brings connection, warmth, and some space to appreciate the rhythms of your own year….

Living Ghost

Living Ghost is a haunting alt-rock critique of social media’s glossy illusions where a perfectly filtered smile can hide a breaking heart. Built on atmospheric guitars, a pulsing groove, and vocals edged with quiet desperation, the song pulls you into the emotional free-fall of someone fading behind their own digital mask. The lyrics paint a striking portrait: a woman whose online presence is “more alive than she actually seems,” hashtagging joy while trembling behind the…

The Den in the Haunted Highlands

We rolled into the Highlands late morning, the sun still clinging to the tree line as if reluctant to rise. By noon, a chill had already settled in. The kind of northern cold that hints the season’s about to turn for good. Fox’s Den stood quiet on the lake’s edge, its reflection rippling in the grey water like something watching itself dream.Sly was already there, gear dialed in, the studio warmed by the wood burning…

The A.I Conundrum

Let me start out by saying that I am not against the use of A.I. It has multiple uses in the real world. What I am opposed to is the use of it in the arts. And not simply because musicians and writers will be out of work, but because our humanity is defined by the art we produce. Great art is born from struggle and tragedy. A life altering experience that creates emotions unique…
