Rob<p>I was a bit angry earlier this year, not that that has improved, but in the heat of the moment I made a song and put it on Bandcamp. First time for that. As I get angrier with the world at the moment, I've decided I'm going to persist &amp; turn this into an "album"; little by little, targeting 4-5. This first track was about the DEI word ban, next one will be on disappearing people. Let's see how this goes.
