Genre-bending riff-rock from Minneapolis, MN, turning darkness to light with passion and power. A healthier alternative? Bang your head and sing it out!

Genre-bending riff-rock from Minneapolis, MN, turning darkness into light with passion and power. The rock community has a long history of elitist attitudes, misogyny, racism, homophobia, substance abuse, and many other forms of toxic masculinity. Midnight Notion denounces these harmful stereotypes and oppressive behaviors, while recognizing they often come from unchecked negative emotions. For li

I'm Going to Share Every Song I Ever Wrote 😱🤯 06/30/2022

A little preview of things to come!

I'm Going to Share Every Song I Ever Wrote 😱🤯 I've written well over 100 songs, and almost nobody has heard any of them. It's time to change that…𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦00:00 - Intro00:28 - Why This Project?01:...

Episode 000 Premieres tomorrow morning on YouTube. It’s just a simple explanation of what this project will be, and a look at some of the memories I’ll be working with. Will I see you there?

Almost every single one of my high school and college notebooks has a song lyric, drum notation, or guitar tab somewhere within. Almost every song I’ve ever written has a number associated with it, but the numbers are all…out of order. So I’m flagging every draft by current song number, and I’m going to organize them all by approximate start date, so I can hopefully figure out what the *real* numbers actually are.
——
Oh yeah, and I’m going to film the entire process, and record every single song, and share it all with you. I hope you’ll check it out. I’m calling the series “Every Song I Ever Wrote” — subscribe to Midnight Notion on YouTube to see it whenever it debuts (in the hopefully not-too-distant future).

6 years ago today: the biggest band I’ve ever been in, The Minneapolis Mods (funk), performed our first and only show together. I was drummer, and Alec and Zack were in the horns section. I had no idea they would still be making music with me 6 years later, but here we are! Only a few weeks before we’re all vaccinated and jamming together again. But will there be new music? 🤷‍♂️ Are you even ready for new music?

Halfway to 5G! Bill Gates was very nice, and told me the first chip would let me create chem trails. Very excited. Go get yours so we can infect the world with radical woke agendas…but also so we can play shows again.

Here's an interesting find: a Myspace Blog Post from March 2nd, 2006 (back when I called myself "OMD Man," which stood for Obsessive Music Dependency…Man). This is the official announcement that I was going to start recording what would eventually become Somewhere in Dreamworld. So the album took 13 years—minus one day—before I finally got it released in 2019! WOW! What a journey!
