Hello all,
This came in from Flenser HQ:
Can you point your people to nowflensing.com.
Code SUFFER4U to enter store early before Black Friday madness.
We have many shirts up from ELHR and Hinterkaifeck.
It's pretty wild to see Hinterkaifeck coming back around. It is some of my favorite Giles Corey material and I'm super happy to see the reception it's getting.

Wanted to share this fantastic set I got participate in with Oldest Sea. You can find them on IG here.
This is a live recording of Judith Slaying Holofernes, an absolutely phenomenal set of songs I got to provide backing vocals for.
Sam Marandola is a fantastic songwriter, the band sounds heavy as fuck, the video is great, etc. Was super excited to see how this came out.
Check it out, follow Oldest Sea, and support underground music.

Hello all,
This was a very quick happening, so apologies for the short time-frame:
Since night 1 sold out so fast, we got asked to do a second night in Amherst, MA.
Here's the link for tix:
https://www.thedrakeamherst.org/events/have-a-nice-life-2
I'm assuming these will also go fast, so if you're interested, come out!
Looks like we're probably going to be playing different sets each night. We'd love to see you.
Love,

Hey all,
Only a short head start on this one - sorry about that.
BUT - if you're in New England -
We've scheduled a show in Amherst, MA ahead of our European tour. We don't have any other US shows scheduled for the year at this point, so we'd love to see you there.

Crippling Alcoholism is opening and they are extremely awesome.

Hello all,
This Friday I decided to skip work and record something. I ended up recording a "cover" of the song Masc by Chat Pile. Their new album, "Cool World," is out today and it rules.
You can find the original here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8YoyzosPDw
My cover is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AfNIppeLGKcS90RWUGVBIl-VGXbsxNbM/view?usp=sharing
In the video above I talk a bit about the recording process, what I do when I'm creatively stuck, how I work in Logic, etc.
Hope you enjoy the song, and if you like this type of stuff let me know.
Thanks, as always, for everything.
Dan
P.S. Someday I will record an entire covers album called Giles Coverey and absolutely no one can stop me

See you soon,

Hey everyone.
We got the opportunity to cover a LOW song as part of an upcoming Flenser compilation...and, well, we couldn't say no.
LOW is an incredibly special band to both of us. It was an honor to play this song.
I hope you like our take on it. It'll be out publicly tomorrow.
We love you.
Dan and Tim
P.S. We got a full giles corey live set video coming up for the Patreon soon - we're just putting some finishing touches on it.

2024-01-03 14:12:22 +0000 UTC View PostHi all -
Thank you for your questions!
1. I think I addressed them all - what I missed, I responded to on Instagram.
2. Dan had to talk me out of editing this. It's just slow and deliberate, clashing with my tendency to free associate. Discussing what I have been reading to the camera felt the most awkward - maybe it's too personal, as Wallace Shawn once stated? Or perhaps I just do a better job disciplining remarks like that with social cues from others. Or maybe it's fine.
3. Here is a link to a rough sketch of the Dr. VIDEO LIVE set I will be executing at Thom Wasluck's NEPA Noise & Drone Summit this coming Saturday in Wilkes-Barre. DONUT SECRET 1 2 3 It has a number of errors but you can dance to it. Real recordings should come some day, along with Cody's fine visual work.
Maybe I'll do this again.

Hello all!
Got some updates for you:
Legrand Society Members get exclusive early access to the Flenser Black Friday Sale!
password: CRAIG
Included is a new variant of Deathconsciousness on tri colored vinyl which you can see here and it's shipping now. All orders get a free Chat Pile flexi.
Secondly:
Tim will be doing an AMA on 11/19; post questions for him here!
From Tim:
Hi All -
As Dan has noted in his recent messages and video, we want to do more with this platform. You deserve more than pre-orders and pre-sales. The internet "made" HANL, and we need to be more accountable to its rules of engagement. Me, especially.
Some of you may follow my IG, which is also the official mouthpiece of CONSUMER - @massivesubsidies. It's taken me close to 5 years to actually figure out how to use it well. However, my style is pretty oblique, and Dan has done enough AMA streams to make me wonder: "what if I just acted like a fucking person?" I've been candid for band interviews from time to time, and I try to be generous after our scattered shows, but that's about it. "Tim Lives in the Woods".
SO: this coming Sunday, Nov. 19th, I will try to be a person for the camera. Over the course of this week, post any prompt you wish me to respond to in the Patreon stream. I think I gained enough experience teaching to the screen during the pandemic years to make it not suck. The final product that gets sent back to Legrand Society will also include some recent home recordings. I have a lot of those.
The word "content" bothers me, but here goes.
<3 Tim
2023-11-16 12:53:11 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to everyone who submitted questions!
I was definitely a little low-energy - the past few weeks have been kicking my ass, work-wise - but I had fun.
If you want these to be a more regular thing, let me know!
2023-10-25 12:48:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
Quick reminder - going to do a Q+A today. Ask me anything. Patreon members get all their questions answered for sure, so fire away.
I couldn't quite figure out the Live Stream aspect of this, so for now I'll just post the recording here when I'm done. But if people like these, I'll do them more regularly.
Thanks, love you.

Hey all. Hope you are well.
First off, Flenser is doing a new printing of Deathcon. Patreon folks can get exclusive early access here:
Link: https://nowflensing.com/products/have-a-nice-life-deathconsciousness-dlp-zine-1
Password: MONKEY
Secondly, Roadburn posted a stream of our live Giles Corey performance here:
https://roadburn.com/audio-streams-2023/
This was the show where I broke a string on the very first song; listen to me tap-dance, real-time, in front of the (very kind) Roadburn crowd. It was a truly moving experience.
Thirdly, I (Dan) will be teaching a course on self-hypnosis in December this year.
You can read more about that (and grab a spot) here:
https://www.betterquestions.co/announcing-critical-path-2023/
Finally, a bit of an update on HANL and friends:
- CONSUMERjust wrapped up some shows with label mates CHAT PILE. You can check some pictures here - http://www.liveinlimbo.com/2023/09/25/concert-reviews/chat-pile-with-consumer-and-nerver-at-lees-palace.html
- DAN and TIM are now planning on retiring the basement and working on new stuff. Very early in the process, but we're both looking forward to it.
- ARE SHOWS OVER? For now, yes; forever, no. We're making some plans for next year - nothing definite yet, but we plan on continuing to focus on quality over quantity, and trying to make every show feel special.
FINALLY - I'd like to do another live stream Q+A - that was fun last time.
I'm going to plan that for Tuesday, October 24th. It'll be streaming here on Patreon and on YouTube Live (assuming I can figure all that out).
I'll make sure to answer any and all Patreon questions, so just comment with your question below! I'll make sure to post the video here as well when it's done.
Thank you, love you, see you soon.
