Did a lot of work prepping the album for release next week. It's available for presale on Bandcamp:
jtcurtis.bandcamp.com/album/where-did-the-music-go
The video for REALITY will come out the same day and I'm thinking about releasing the behind the scene featurette the day before.
In the meantime, if ya'll can help me with something, I'm still trying to get Home (Last Stand) up to 1000 streams on Spotify (Nope not quite there yet). If ya'll have a spotify account and can give it a few streams, I'll be most appreciated:

Okay… I’ve seen a lot of comments about what happened in Minneapolis yesterday. I don’t pretend to know all the facts, but I’m going to present a few that I do know.

Don’t want to read this? Go to my videos page and watch whatever non-political video you’d like.

1) A 37 year old woman was shot to death by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. They claim she attempted to run over the agent with her car, footage of the incident suggests otherwise. What is clear is that this agent shot her in the head.

2) This is a very important point for everyone reading: No matter who is in the right, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you EVER drive off during a police encounter. And the truth is officers had surrounded her car when she attempted to back up and drive away. Did she panic and try to flee? Perhaps. But if anyone else is in this position, DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Take out your phone and stream the encounter, ask for a lawyer, ask for a warrant. But don’t drive off! Seriously!

However this brings me to some issues that exacerbated this situation.

3) There was an officer near the front of her car with his gun drawn. I honestly have no idea why this was? Generally speaking officers walk up to the side of a vehicle for obvious reasons. One being if you have your gun drawn and you’re in front of a car and shoot the person in the head, their body may hit the accelerator and run right into you - which is honestly what happened when she hit the pole. She could have hit a pedestrian.

4) Which brings me to one of the biggest problems here: ICE agents are poorly trained to handle these situations. Upon doing some research, I discovered that trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” reduced training time from 6 months to 6 weeks to get more ICE agents on the streets terrorizing citizens. To compare, according to the NYPD website: “The entry-level training entails 12-14 weeks of classroom and field instruction” just for Traffic Enforcement. And we wonder why these ICE goons commit atrocities like this.

5) These ICE agents drive unmarked cars, wear masks, do not wear any badge or discernible identification and do not even present a warrant signed by a judge (which is in The Constitution for those of you who don’t know how to read). And for those who say “Oh well that’s only for US Citizens, not illegal immigrants” several people who have been arrested and detained, sometimes for 24 hours without access to a lawyer, WERE US CITIZENS! This is why we have a 4th Amendment to begin with.

6) At least 32 individuals died in ICE custody in 2025… nuff said…

7) It amazes me how many people don’t know this… in June last year, a masked gunman disguised as a police officer shot and killed Minnesota state representative Melissa Horrman and her husband. There have plenty more instances of criminals posing as law enforcement, ICE included. Again, I refer to you the necessity for identification. I’m pretty sure Minnesotans know this and are on edge.

8 ) So with all of this information, this tragedy was inevitably going to happen at some point. If you have poorly trained, unidentified officers terrorizing our cities with gestapo tactics, you’re just asking for tragedies like these to occur.

9) The United States is currently stealing oil from Venezuela after bombing them.

10) The Epstein Files have still not been fully released.

Okay I’m done…

So I’ve been going around asking people to give Home (Last Stand) a play on Spotify since it’s close to 1000 streams. But as I’ve been doing this, I’ve also been reading about trump bombing Venezuela and I’m reminded of something… the first strike of the Iraq War over 20 years ago.

You see I came of age when the Iraq War started. I will never forget that first news footage of shock and awe. And from then on, thousands of American casualties later, the Iraq War was in the backdrop for almost a decade. Then in the early 2010s, the troops began coming home. That’s when the opening line to “Home (Last Stand)” came to mind and still consider it one of the best things I ever wrote. Coming Home was coming to terms with this dark chapter of my adult life finally coming to an end.

But now here we stand not even a week into 2026 and the dictator-in-chief is engaged in a Wag The Dog situation all to distract people from the Epstein Files.

He was already a man-child, now he’s a man-child with dementia and one of the most dangerous people on the planet.

The sad thing is that at this point, nothing phases me. He’s been on our minds for a decade now, done so much damage, the Democrats in Congress don't do ANYTHING to stop him, so I just throw my hands up and bury myself into my music like I’ve always done.

So I’m just gonna keep promoting my stuff. Here’s the song that gave me closure from the Iraq War, let’s hope all this madness will end soon:
