More to Come
I created an album in my ger between 2007-2008. It is entitled "apathetic apologetic". The entire album can be downloaded for free at kevin.thejohnstones.org. I am also about to release a new album entitled "Will O'Dandy" that was made in my ger as well, which will also be made available for free at my website.
About "apathetic apologetic":
"Living abroad the last 2 years, in service to the world through Peace Corps, I have gained some insight on America. Through the eight failed years of the previous President I struggled, as did many of us. In my spare time as a volunteer (there is plenty) I have written and recorded an album on my shoddy old laptop, using a 50 dollar guitar, that follows the story of the last 8 years through 19 diverse songs ranging through the initial mob mentality, the mainstream media's failure to ask the tough questions and report them, digging for hope in desperate times and many places in between. I contemplated the fate of our nation through music from afar."
You can view random old photos from my Peace Corps service here. I will be putting new photos up shortly.
I leave Mongolia in a month. Time to go onto the next chapter. When I'm back in the states, I will reminisce through this blog and write up old stories I never had time to write. I will also kick off my music career with a string of live shows in Cleveland and other cities. Stay tuned.
