Solo artist, bassist for fancy guitarists (The Aristocrats, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Mike Keneally, Dethklok). Latest solo album “Scenes From The Flood”.

It’s the rarely seen Reverse Bitter Clinger. Bold strategy, etc etc. A lot I could say, but maybe just that we’ve come a long way from “those coastal elites look down on us” to “everyone in Los Angeles should die”. Excited for what comes next!
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Seems if you're fluent in Trump-weave-ese & you squint hard enough you can maybe read this as "high gas prices are worth stopping LA getting nuked by Iran" *voice of Johnny Sac* What, Trump is fuckin' George W Bush now?! (The crowd cheering the line is a whole other thing.)

and one last thing: that DJT deserves the benefit of the doubt on *anything*, that he is owed even one modicum of good faith on *anything*, considering priors here, is insane. D's weren't the ones who made Trump R party leader and Midterm Savior. L's like this come with it.

THE HOUSE OF SYN: As in the L.A. ace guitarist Andrew Synowiec, with whom I had the pleasure of working on tracks for my solo album in progress. He has one of the most amazing guitar studio setups I’ve ever seen. What an amazing talent. Looking forward to sharing the results!

The prompt was: "create an image of what the world would look like if Bryan Beller were in charge, based on @bryanbeller's tweets." The second one had some spicier extra prompts. Fun, but I'm not worried about Skynet launching just yet. (also I don't give Elon money)

There's always money for *some* things. What do you even say at this point? Really looking forward to the "fiScAl cOnSErVAtiVe!1!!1" rending of garments about the debt ceiling when D's are back in charge, that'll be swell. Now w/a newly compliant press to amplify the message!
Russ Vought: "We fund what we need to fund. I'm not at all shy about we want to spend billions of dollars on a new shipyard. We're up there defending the $1.5t that the Department of War needs. But it's also coming at a ton of reduction on the non-defense side"

ANOTHER BASS SOLO?!: Not sure what's gotten into me but here I am w/Brazilian blues/rock specialist Artur Menezes & his killer band (Collin Clauson Music/keys + Mann Bipin/drums). Listen for Art’s bassist Sam Bolle's vintage rig driven by a Music Man tube head (100B?) - fuzzy!

VAI 2007: @SteveVai is posting clips from the '07 String Theories tour DVD this week to celebrate 30 yrs of the "Fire Garden" CD. Will always be grateful to Steve for having me on this one, despite me having the world's absolute worst haircut at the time. 😅
This track is the last movement of the Fire Garden Suite. A lovely little piece of musical tranquility... if your idea of tranquility involves Taurus Bulba. The title came from an old Yul Brynner movie that I loved as a kid.

Bryan Beller retweeted
A lot of RWers today see The Boondocks as “based” because it portrayed black social dysfunction honestly but when you watch enough of it it’s clear their message is “we have to clean up our act to overcome white racial oppression.” Basically Malcolm X type messaging.

Every once in a while, a tweet comes along that is such a fucking banger I have to QT it even though it’s completely irrelevant to my usual topic timeline.
There was a brief moment where Sydney Sweeney seemingly was trying to be a Serious Actor, but now she’s just doing commercials where she’s like “the only thing bigger than my Aryan DDs are the gains you can make on the newest crypto trading platform WalletInspector™️!”

HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY SFTF: 7 yrs ago today "Scenes From The Flood" dropped. I posted this pic then to celebrate. I still can't believe it exists sometimes. I'm working hard on the follow-up as I type. I hope it lives up to it!

SATCHVAI ALBUM: Dropping this fall. I'm on the last track, which starts w/a reel-to-reel recording of JS/SV during a gtr lesson in 1973! Trippy. Also trippy: today I'm at Mates w/@mikekeneally rehearsing. Last time here? 2007, audition for Vai's String Theories band. 🤯

BACK TO MY ROOTS: Gonna jam some Hendrix & Deep Purple at the Bluesadelic Sessions tomorrow night in DTLA. Artur Menezes is the curator, an amazing guitarist from Brazil (now living in LA) who I met when he sat in on a Satch gig in Brazil back in '17. Should be a good time!

THE GRIND NEVER STOPS: Here's a podcast I did on "how I got here", and I'm deeply grateful for all of it - but also, this thing of ours (the music biz!) is a process and not an event. (1/2) youtu.be/eDqEP4jNS8c?si=AglC…

SCREEN BREAK: Lots of detail work on the solo album means this still needs to happen even if it’s hotter than ten hells outside. Making progress. Still a long way to go.
