Junk Muffler

Creating art over the past couple years has been a struggle. I mean, yeah… Life has happened, but I also kinda feel like that’s an excuse. The truth is every time I’ve sat down to make a piece of music? I can’t get out of my own head. I finally decided to make a YouTube video and talk about it. One thing I didn’t mention in the video… At the end of my more recent stuff I play the jingle… “Like like like like like like like subscribe!

Hey Junkyard Dogs! Things are going to be quiet for a bit. This is partially for personal reasons, and partially because I want to take Junk Muffler in a different direction. This means my posts are going to be even less frequent than normal for a while. I’m not done. I didn’t quit. I have a clear vision for the future of JM. Sigh… Let me just tell you what’s going on.

When I was a strapping young lad during the early days of the internet, there was an incredible flash game called Don’t Sh*t Your Pants. The significance of this game on my life cannot be overstated. It altered the course of history. This song is an attempt to take the life lessons learned from this 90’s flash game and package it up for you in a festive musical fashion.

As a kid I never believed in Santa Claus. I grew up super poor. My parents wanted to make for darn sure I knew they bought every gift. I don’t blame them. The alternative is believing Santa loves rich kids more. As an adult I’ve grown increasingly cynical of Christmas. Not the spirit of it so much. More the execution. I don’t understand why showing each other we care has to manifest itself in consumerism.

Oh fart jokes… You never get old. One day I fear my inner 11-year-old will die and fart jokes will cease to be funny. Fortunately that has yet to be the case. This is much to the chagrin of Mrs. Muffler. Fart jokes, it seems, are eternal. Most of my songs are based on real life. I assure you that I did not sh*t my pants in the middle of a Walmart.

Has it seriously been eight months since I released a song? That doesn’t seem to be right, but here we are. The YouTube timestamps don’t lie. Wow… To be fair, a lot of stuff has happened in my life. I’ll hopefully share more about it soon. I may make the musical equivelant of candy corn, but I bust my butt on every song. It takes a lot out of me, even though I love it.
