I wanted to do something special with these last 20 records, so here’s what’s happening and why they come with a special poster and thank you letter.
This past month I started building a small studio set up in my apartment. I’d like to expand my knowledge of the recording process and produce more music. I’m used to writing a record, making crappy demos on garageband and then going to a studio to make the real record, but I’d like to be able to do some quality recordings from home as well. I wish it were as easy as save money and buy what I need, but I simply make enough money each month to pay my rent, pay my bills, and eat. This is not a “feel bad for David” post. I am extremely blessed and able to pay what I need to each month.
I’m selling these last 20 records for $20 each. That small but mighty $400 will help me get a few items I need. Your record also comes with a poster available only with this unique purchase, as well as a thank you letter from me for your financial assistance.
The way in which you all continue to support The Workday Release amazes me and I hope you know how much I appreciate you.
Much love,
David

Hipsters < Your Attitude?
I was at a concert this past weekend where there was a lot of flannel present. In fact, I’m quite sure I was wearing flannel myself. Before the show began there was a screen lowered down above the stage with upcoming information about concerts and other advertisements. The screen also served as the pre-show entertainment for the night. One could text the number displayed on the screen and have their message scroll along the bottom for the audience to read. People were coming up with witty things to make the crowd laugh and I even took part in the fun twice to promote The Workday Release. Both texts of mine had grammatical errors in them most likely convincing the audience I wasn’t worth listening to (Nothing shames me more than using grammar poorly). A majority of the texts that night contained the word “hipster” in them. I’m sure you’re aware of this term. It got me thinking about how we brand people. I would not consider myself a hipster. By this I mean I was never handed a government issued “classify-yourself” card and given the chance to check the “hipster” box. However, I’m certain that being at that particular concert in that particular flannel shirt would make other people quick to check this imaginary box for me. I couldn’t care less, to tell you the truth. I shop at Target because I have no money. Whatever they have, I’m wearing.
The point of this post isn’t to defend hipsters. You could put any group of people into the title and I’d still ask, “Are they worse than your attitude?”
I’d like to think that I get to define who I am and you get to define who you are but it seems like we take the opportunity out of each other’s hands.
When we do this, we unfortunately suggest that we believe who we are is superior to the others we are defining.
I read the comedic words condemning hipsters to flannel hell and I thought more about the ways in which I judge people when I see them.
Why do we feel the need to voice our social, religious, and fashion superiority?
Let’s allow people to define themselves.
It’s time we surrendered the imaginary “classify yourself” cards back to the individuals they belong to.
And on another note, concerning fashion, it’s the same materials and fabrics presented in different color and shape.
Get over it.

Are you religious?

I believe in loving people and I believe in a perfect, loving God.
I see problems in every religion, including the ones that pursue that perfect, loving God.
I don’t allow imperfect people to obscure my view of who God is or who I believe He calls me to be.
Instead, it is this perfect, loving God that allows me to love imperfect people and accept love myself.
Everyone is religious. It’s impossible to not believe in something. Even the belief in nothing is a belief. We can only know so much. Having “faith” does not exclusively apply to people of major religions. To be religious is to be human.
At least that’s what I believe. What do you?
