Impermanence by Average Joey
I’d like to thank the following folks:
Mike at Noisy Little Critter for working on this project over several years, helping to guide it sonically, and being always patient and understanding of my broke nagging ass. Clover & Dollhouse Lightning for pressing it to vinyl and helping me through the process. Scott Eaton, on whose piano I wrote many of these songs. Britt for the constant care and support. Isaac, AC, and Cohosh for hosting my get aways when I need ‘em. Alex, Tommy, Qian, and Jack for helping me get sober. Andi, Jodi, Obisidian, and the rest of the Harm Redux Recovery Punx Group for helping keep me that way. James Bristol & the OWL Hollow for holding down and important space, and taking me in when nobody else would. Briar, Melissa, Jeremy, Kayla for housing us when the van broke down.
The endless list of kind people who have performed along side me, tossed a dollar in my busking case, provided a meal or a place to stay, donated to may many “GoFundMe” campaigns when my van is busted, made art for a flyer, sang along at a show even when you were shy, danced without reserve. Goddamn I feel grateful to know you. You’re all I got in this world.
There are writers that have helped me work through the ideas in this work, those include: Naomi Klein, Rev. angel kydo williams, adrianne maree brown, bell hooks, David Graeber, Eric Fromm, Mark Fischer, Alan Watts, Richard Gilman-Opalsky, Reza Aslan, Gabor Mate, Silvia Federici, Micheal Brooks.
There are musicians who have inspired this work, including: Ceschi, Andy the Doorbum, Lankum, Holy Locust, The Hills and the Rivers, Cousin Boneless, Huntress and the Holder of Hands, Amigo the Devil, On the Water, Rail Yard Ghosts, Rent Strike, and many more incredible folks who I hope will forgive my inability to call forward their name in this moment.
I’d like to dedicate the record to the memories of Kasey Fusco, Aaron Pollard
4th River is dead, long live 4th River!
