2026/02/17

One oft forgotten unsung hero of the internet is the e-mail list. In a world with social media focuses, YouTube, Tweets, blog posts, it's easy to assume that e-mail and e-mail lists are dead. Quite the contrary. E-mail still is a central focus of password resets, basic communication, file and information exchange, and a foundational way to stay in touch with the followers and fans of your brand or business.

CJ and I got into a real, honest talk about creativity — where it comes from, how you keep it alive, and how it shows up in different forms.We talked about improv and that spontaneous “figure it out together” energy, and how that same mindset carries into music and performing.

When it's too much to make full compilations or focus on a specific genre of music, I just sit down and come up with ideas. I call it my "Monday/Friday Ideation." It's a really low-risk approach to generating ideas without having to take them any further than I feel like. But I still have to sit down and do it!Then, at a later date, I come back and polish the ideas that make sense and speak to me. It's the only way I can create and do this many tracks on the timeline I've given myself - :) Want

TKFM Quick Hits #3: "On Winnebago Man and Niche Art"

The Tim Kulig Free Music Podcast ·

2026/01/15

"Winnebago Man" was a very niche documentary about a roughly 4 minute compilation of out-takes from a corporate video promotion gone sideways. Jack Rebney, a seemingly foul-mouthed RV salesman having a rough day, spouts 4 minutes of meme inducing, accidental comic genius, and history was thusly made. The story of Jack was far more interesting than those 4 minutes, though, and the authentic capture of this overarching character arc and story are what made this documentary so great. This is true
