Ashley HalliwellI’m about to be the featured performer at Poet’s Monday tonight. I am low-key panicking. But I’m also excited.

#folkpunk #musician #ourmusic #performancepoet #spokenWordPoetryI performed a very old song of mine tonight.
This is “I Was The Sun” from my record Primrose Path (2017, rerecorded 2023) live at Poet’s Monday.

Lazarus Halliwell (probably gaily horsing around) on Instagram: "I was bored and Feeling Things so enjoy a long version of a lot of people's favorite angry song of mine, "Someone Else's Problem". One (1) thumb was injured in the making of this video. RIP my cuticle lol -Allēna"
This powerful video is all about embracing your emotions and refusing to be controlled by others. Allena shares a deeply personal song about her experiences and the importance of authenticity. With its raw energy and unapologetic tone, this video is a call to arms for anyone looking to stand up for themselves and own their emotions. Whether you're struggling with anger, frustration, or sadness, this video will inspire you to be confident in your feelings and assertive in your expression. So, join the conversation and learn how to stand up for yourself with confidence and authenticity.
My new headmate has a villain song.
I wanted to post it here now that things with Zelda have gone…south, as it were.
It is titled “Australis.” Eight wrote it a year ago. Enjoy, along with a bonus meme.

I pitched an idea for a spring themed multimedia show to a shop and studio here in town in March or April. They say they’ll get back to me next week.
If this goes well, I want to do it again. I think I’m going to put it together regardless, though.

I went down a rabbit hole today.
I ended up listening to our EP 39: Odds and Ends and I have to say, it goes harder than it should. I like it better with each passing year.

I was clicking around the blog after months in a dormancy coma and I’ve gotta say…
I love what my headmates have done with the place.
Pretty neat.
Have Allēna’s and Eight’s masterpiece album Mago as a treat before you go. If you’re finding the system via the MadMastodon tag or related ones, I think you’ll like what it has to say. It’s all about deconstructing a high control faith, surviving psychiatry and long term abuse, and finding ourselves. Enjoy.

So I remembered our album Hardshell existed again. Have an appropriate song from this swamp creature of a record.
Listened April 18, 2023, by Candy For Trees from Candy For Treesfrom the album Hardshell
Occasionally I remember our own music exists, lol. This song feels especially appropriate given the current.. Well, everything.. Going on right now.
Enjoy.
