Recently found an old phone associated with a ton of old music. Most of it is too garbage to even post without being considered spam, but the chosen 7 are the ones I decided were good enough to publish for archival reasons on my second account. Go and have a listen if you’re interested in hearing my 14yo self try to put notes on a screen.

These 7 songs fill the gap (hence the name) between my first two accounts. After 5 years of waiting, lol.

I feel like an internet personality advertising my bluesky account like this but like how else are people gonna know I'm there? Never even had a twitter account.

(also I’m cooking up another piece to be released November 17)

I’m very pleased to announce that I’ve been chosen to serve as a judge for this round of NGADM! They needed a backup lol. Wish me luck!

Actually I’m just a full judge now for consistency purposes. So yeah that’s pretty cool

We finally have a new banner and icon to go along with the release of my NGUAC submission Zenith! Thought it was time for an update. The old banner looked a bit antiquated and the old icon is too associated with the “50” part of my name back when I was doing that series. Well that series has been done for over a year now (damn, time flies) so I decided to refocus onto the “steak” part. The banner retains that old red white and blue but the icon is now a steak, just like it should’ve been for a while now.

Oh my next track I think is gonna be a banger so stay tuned.

Left my decently priced over ear headphones out in the rain today. Very fun.

So how have your days been?

Hey everyone! I’m here to announce that the entire 50 states series is FINALLY an extended EP on youtube! This has been a long time coming. I got it done within the span of a day, so finally there’s a better way to binge the whole thing!

Complete with chapters, 2.5 hours of a slowly zooming out image, and text at the beginning and end (and definitely no secrets in between!)

Today's my bday :D (also dont look at my most recent song, im trying to spare you)

Today is the day I have reached 100 followers, and honestly a little too soon. I expected I’d have a few more weeks till the count slowly ticked up but @Tangerine’s 420 follower special with all of its crediting boosted my count too quickly for me to have my 100 follower special ready. So it’s gonna be a few days till that comes out.

Obligatory thank you to tangerine for getting me here and being the only one to review every single one of my songs including some of those on other accounts, for being the most in depth reviewer and for giving me something to look forward to each song to this day. Without him, I don’t know if I would’ve completed the 50 states.

Additional thank yous go to @trevor8 and @Anonymous-Frog for supporting me on my journey for many years and frog for using Nevada in his awesome animation. Gotta thank @TomFulp for his help in recovering my accounts and for hosting this wonderful site.

And anyone else who has followed me, including @wolfatthedoor for being my legendary 100th follower. I will never again have a 100th follower, and he will forever have that title.

Of course, thanks to everyone else who has supported me on my journey both pre and post 50 states.

Unfortunately a preview of my next song would be a bit hard to do given that it would either show basically nothing or way too much. So instead I’ll just let everyone know that warbird has been submitted to the NGUAC. Let’s hope that goes well!

Oh also I’m not changing my name. That was mostly nighttime ramblings

So I’ve been thinking a lot recently about changing my name to make it sleeker/more modern and less like something you’d hear from some eating competition. Also my profile just needs a modern, sleeker look than what it has now. So I’m considering renaming myself to just “Steaks”. This is both because I’m no longer doing the 50 states, and also the scope of my projects has advanced so far beyond that series that I don’t really want to be immediately associated with it anymore. I want people to focus more on my modern projects. I will also be dropping this American flag BS because it is making people think I’m a crazy patriot when I’m absolutely not.

So I need suggestions. What do you think about this possible rebranding? Does anyone have any ideas for a new channel banner and icon? Usually I’ll just pull a random thing off google but tbh I’m feeling pretty crappy doing that without giving any real credit (unsure who even made the stuff I stole). I’m not an amazing artist, but here’s a sample of a painting I did a few days ago for my mom’s birthday to get an idea of the general style I’m interested in.

TL;DR I’m probably gonna update my profile, need some sort of feedback on the new name “Steaks” since everyone already calls me that everywhere basically and I think it sounds so much cleaner than FIF TEE STEAKS
