Stumbled onto your out of sight site this morn, and it felt like God came down from heaven to give me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Thank you for each song, each post, every word, each note. Don’t change a thing. You’re doing the Lord’s work here really. Bless you.
You labeled up, etc?
Lemme know if can help in any way.
humbly,
Josh T. Pearson

Yeah. At least its warm right? I am in Finland haha
Austin’s n a blanket of snow. abnormal. coldest it’s been n 30 years.

*hear
here here
That would be great, yeah man.
I miss travel!
when it comes to texting, Im totally all thumbs
Hey i suck at this
Ig and all this
terrible
I need skin
saliva
blood
to quote Henry Miller, “there’s no greater travel than inward toward the self”
Yeah. Henry was a smart man
to quote the bible “man was not meant to live alone”
I like the sexus nexus trilogy thing
❤️
re insta. we all do bud
Haha
we’ve bit the apple. no goin’ back
But we can have fun with it
IG needs us
gotta do it. everyone hates it. luvs it. despises it
fuck
like you said…. we come from a long line in history of dreamers, each more tired than the ones before
and insane!
❤️
Man that was a killer record.
u, i mean, You here, gotta keep putting it out there. fer now. then others will put it out there for you
Do you ever feel like your songs are wiser than you?
I feel like the my songs write me
the ones sans words yeah. word r suuuch a beating to me. choking on words
killed by comas 😆
get back in the ring. everyday. fuck man.
Yeah that is it man.
The path is the reward
❤️
What u got cooking now?
music i mean
or other
seriously so delighted to stumble onto yr work. a real encouragement to “up my game”. intimidating really. it the best kind of way. where i felt like everything i’d done was shit
Well we are just getting started 🙂
got a few irons. i beat em up, then out them back in the fire. rinse, repeat. been learning Logic Pro all Covid. since May i guess. i put off music software for 20 years. dammit. born too early and late
“beginning is half done”
i may’ve completely lost the plot here. working on this political country satire album called THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
hahahahaaa
Brilliant
love it
um, country rap against the Republican Party
ive really lost it. 😆
BOOM
crackin up
ive taken to dance. teaching The Texas Two Step for cash.
i wanna join your band when you tour that badboy
i am in
GREAT!!!’
i need all the help i can get
so no label? i can forward it to Mute if’n u like
Sure
you still have deal?
I just launched this thing
they have rights of first refusal
of course
(though uninterested in my country comedy album) cant imagine why 😆
hahaa
Man of the times.
you need to get on TikTok Josh lol
i dont know how much more of this solid gold “content”, u have in the chamber to shoot out there, but it’s a firm foundation. if u never posted again. or once a month etc. for years.
look at us twiddling with these mini computers…. people used to just play instruments all day
what material are u referring to?
the spotify stuff
or ?
i havent made it past insta. just gone through post after post reveling in it on repeat. hit me like a ton of bricks
oh ok.
that is main stuff… ig some samples
my solo records here https://markusnylund.bandcamp.com/
You might not like the electro stuff…
i absolutely loved what i heard
of electro stuff
been dabling
interesting
I have a new album being mastered with 12+ minutes electro symphonies and even hiphop
so i have also lost my mind!! haha
❤️
it has 4 songs
So i feel ya man
right. there. with ya
that’s why I’m learning Logic.
for those symphonies in head
I listen to all these great bands of our times and feel they could all go much further
so much
Deeper!!
Good songs but too flat dynamically
maybe lack of ability i dont know
like Coldplay… they have the best fucking outros in the business!
they do a lot of good for people
it as u wrote. they cant get to deep cuz pop market couldnt handle
socker moms are people too. all that. agreed
👍🤠❤️
aaa yes that could be
man. i know this is sudden but uh, you wanna talk on the insta horn a sec? i dont normally ask dudes i dont know online to talk about about their music, but i feel it’s important for me to convey to u how serious yr work is. u free for 3 minutes?
no pressure
Sure
just call me here or skypr
skype
what is better?

Thanks for this man!!! Really, it means a lot to me ❤️👊
Been thinking about our conversation a lot. Very interesting in many many ways.
Have a kick ass day!
I am drinking tea and playing chess (which is my addiction).
❤️
February 16, 2021 7:31 pm
same bud. u gave some good nuggets of gold wisdom.
❤️
February 18, 2021 9:40 pm
How is the week going so far? Looks like your senator is on vacation!
Ok fun question. At your LtE show in London, you returned to the stage after encore and played this riff, i think you said “sexy riff”. What the heck was that? Yours?
killer.
Always been bugging me.
Not sure you remember… or if its saved somewhere. Cant find a recording of the show either.
thx for asking bud. power on at mine for now. no water. but stockpiled. friends hurtin. even for “tough” Texans ☺️. got a friends mother in my little one hitter apt w me now. theyve been freezing for days. another is 20 peeps deeps at their apt. Texas isnt wired for it.
wrote that riff for the shows encore
👊

ive got to learn to take better notes.
😎
very kind and beautiful note u wrote. thankye.
ice melting. water flowing.
the gods be kind.
today learned about routing parallel compression.
grrr….
i feel like the old man learning how to work the remote
👊
👊
❤️
Mentioned you in their story
February 20, 2021 8:44 am
i have no idea what routing parallel compression is or means haha
like these chords i play
one day i will be famous and the gods will expose me for not knowing what the fuck he is doing
❤️
that riff is like a faded memory, right on the top of the tongue but i cant access it… i remember the moment though and thinking “what the hell is this”… maybe there is a recording of the show somewhere… only clips on yt
but it happens and these throwaway bits and pieces are sometimes the most precious jewels because they appear to us out of nowhere, like our heartbreak mistresses
❤️
February 20, 2021 5:18 pm
well said my friend. very well said.
pining for jewels, always pining

❤️
crazy world
😆
PERFECT!

🙏🤠🙏
February 26, 2021 7:13 pm
Damn man, in an alternate reality we are crashing that Rough Trade 10year LCG party!! Dont know about your situation there in Texas Winter but nobody aint going anywhere here! The bloody virus has mutated. 🧞

Anyways, hope you are doing alright 🔥
February 26, 2021 8:58 pm
ugh. sendin’ hugs bud. sorry to hear it. but. more time for us to work work work. 👍🤠👍
❤️
👊
Yes exactly! How is the parallel routing and all that shit going? I am struggling to get into the flow… but when it happens i am gone.
Wait so you are actually travelling to London?
no way. god i hope not. that was 10 years ago. flyer.
spent all week learning compression. routing starting to click. slooooowly. but still. need learn what rules there are so i can break em. 🤠 slow n steady wins the race. same. once in groove. hard to get out
❤️
closer
Let me know when you figure out the rules, i am particularly good at the breaking part. One of my specialties!
But good to hear.
Do you play and sing alot?
I mean guitar…
i have not been kind to the muse these years. starting again
❤️
been working other things.
❤️
February 27, 2021 8:24 am
All good my friend. The muse always waits. Eternal companion. But occasionally gotta pull out the red panties and wine and dine it!
You have genius in you.
It takes one to recognize it.
❤️
i had 6 year gap also between published recordings 2014-2020…. it happens. Although i havent been as successful as you yet. I am not an easy person to do business with… the music industry doesnt like me.
❤️
February 27, 2021 7:31 pm

thx for this bud. hadnt seen. big fan of susanne. great composition and voice. know her a little from old festivals. got a lotta soul. her and piano alone, killer. 👊
yeah its a depeche mode cover and i understood you are a fan! susanne is great and röyksopp (both from norway)!
how are you doing?
i think i might have to start talking to some labels to help spread my songs. Tricky now without gigging
like you say, the slot machine 😆
❤️
March 3, 2021 11:57 pm

wow. Thanks for the share bud. Gonna have to look deeper into this. Listen to Nils Frahm from germany, my favorite music right now (composer).
❤️
cheers bubba. i gotta get better at this Logic stuff. getting there. learning to speak. would gladly join yr band as well ☺️ here’s Our Daily Rumi, “We have fallen into the place where everything is music.”
❤️
Nils does it right. He never stops working
Yeah i was crying manically outside walking while listening to his album Spaces. those chords and voicings get me every time.
this gal, lives in town. local artist. mother. as good as it gets. i keep telling her. great loving family. quite something.
i think you not knowing how Logic works (pun not intended) is an advantage because you will approach it different
❤️
That Rumi quote is powerful. Thanks. New one for me!
cooking up some rice and tofu!
enjoy your weekend friend
❤️
Ps. met a guy from texas today at my gym in the sauna!! LOL. He plays football here. We laughed about the snow there, i got from

Hi Josh. How are you doing? Remember, poets run this show!! I havent had a drop since xmas. I struggle with it. Temptations whisper like snakes in the dark. Hope you are well brother. Miss ya though i never even met ya! I think maybe we were highway men in another life, riding cargo trains. Thug life 4eva
Much Love,
Markus

April 10, 2021 10:43 pm
My man. Sending all the love in the world. Good here. Time keeps tickin’. Teachin’ the good people how to dance. Sun has started baring down. Hotter than a witches titty soon as we say. Good on ya for explorations in sobriety. 15 months here this round. I think I’ll have another.
❤️
April 18, 2021 7:43 am
Josh, you think i should keep the electronic stuff separate from the guitar/voice thing? It seems people are quite confused with what i am doing, telling me to dumb it down and simplify. Music market basically saying “you fucking suck”. And when looking at the ig social media stuff, seems the succesful are so good at streamlining their own thing. I was never good at that. As soon as something i do gets a positive response, i make a u turn because i want to challenge that. I am the thorn in society. That itch you cant scratch. The weird painting in a museum that seems to be looking at you but is some kind of threat to my sanity. I dont know man…
Maybe i should just become a Life Coach 🤣
How are is your new music chugging along? Any progress?
April 19, 2021 12:41 am
man. thats my million dollar question too. well, at least ten dollar question. I say keep doing both and it will sort itself out. though keep electric under different moniker has it’s benefits. what is guitar moniker was ALSO fake name? different aspects of yr personality? its all good. everything yr doing ive heard is as good as it gets within/out of any genre. its an incredible “problem” to have amigo. we’ve got to remember that. yr killing it. sleep on it. ask around. the answers will present. x
❤️
June 3, 2021 8:24 pm
How is it going brotha???
You been tamin’ those music making machines? I took a little break but now getting my hands and heart dirty again. Flying to france in a few days. Empty notebook and pen. Guitar with strings that are too old.
Felt inclined to say hi and that you are awesome.
Who’s awesome?
That’s right. You got.
YOU ARE.
MUCH LOVE
Your pal,
Markus
❤️

Wednesday 8:43am
i agree with you 10000.01%
ig works for people into populism
or famous people who wanna milk it.
Both of those demographics confuse me.
If i was famous, ig is the last place i would be on!
Anyways, i think i got something for Mute finally.
Maybe you can listen to it first.
My “bohemian rhapsody”.
Tell me if it sucks.
been working on a book for awhile now but it’s hard because i need to be in a certain state of mind (in that now actually) but then i get too happy and into selfhelp shit and it ruins it.
would be good to have a chat/call
gimme your email also, will send you the track and also good to be able to connect outside this free-labor advertising slave factory called facebook (they own ig)
MUCH LOVE
