Podington Bear on Twitter and everywhere else.

I know, I know.  Not long after premiering a song called "Twitterflated" and remarking I wasn't convinced of the relevance of Twitter [speaking for myself] I'm now trying in earnest to adopt it into my digital life.  And I have to admit, it's kind of weirded me out these first few days.  Nonetheless I've got [...] Read More…

Podcast: Now With Or Without Jabber

I'll be the first to admit, I'm no candidate for pro radio host (even in the trademark casual style of Ira Glass), so you'll have to bear with me as I begin to refine my narrative skills.  Having been a recluse for so long it's nice to open up a little, but I'm also aware [...] Read More…

Season 2: Momentarily Suspended for R&D.

I don’t know about you but I’m stoked on my new site.

I LOVE this WordPress theme. I love the new WordPress (the backstage to my blog). I'm rediscovering my music and the little notes I left when posting tracks. Maybe you will too. This design is pretty straightforward: One column for songs, one for blog posts. Clean as a whistle, and if you spent some time [...] Read More…

Sound Of Picture YouTube Channel, Ambient trip

Hello folks, I've started a YouTube Channel for my Sound of Picture songs. I think this type of music thrives when combined with imagery. In this case, I'm breaking form by pairing the music to moving images instead of simply photos. Furthermore, I've started composing ambient music which will be deployed as per usual via [...] Read More…

Have a look. Toast from Joey Connolley on Vimeo. It's [...] Read More…
