Piss Christ is a picture of a crucifix submerged in controversy.  Piss Demons is the alternate title for the original cover art for Everything I Have Is Yours, my only gospel album to date.  The stained background of the photo is so disgusting you ca...

My Bandcamp is live again, after nearly a decade of being in private mode.  Not only does Bandcamp fail to provide alternative payment platforms, such as direct deposit, they take it upon themselves to automatically donate their proceeds on certain d...

I already wrote the story behind this song in an article titled "Farewell Song Sweet From My Trees."  Nick Cave once said something to the effect that his songs know more about his life than he does.  So, for reasons I'm not entirely aware of, I'm po...
