Ed Kowalczyk and Swami Select Options

[dangum]

I found this photo on Instagram. It was taken in August 2019. I didn't pay much attention to Ed's shirt, but today I got bored and Googled it.

Swami Select is a company that grows marijuana.

I had to sign off of it a little early. It’s almost 5:00 Pacific time. Let me know if I miss something important.

The coolest things I’ve learned is Ed never writes lyrics as poetry. He always writes them with a melody/as songs. I never knew that and was shocked.

Also, the reason why no quarantine live streams is it’s just not Ed’s thing. This was the first time he had used Zoom for an audience. Interestingly, the Swami Select dude tried to talk him into using it by saying, “All these people showed up here to see you! And that it connects people in a spiritual way/our shakras. Cool way to get Ed to look at it.

Hmmm, is it really that different from when he was solo and filming himself playing Face and Ghost etc in his living room? Guess he's just not interested these days.

Right? This iteration of the band literally birthed itself in the form of a live streamed NYE show, and they were saying how awesome it was to be able to the stream it for the fans. Not that I need more livestreaming, just sayin'.

It all makes little to no sense. I do believe Ed seems uninspired and not particularly motivated to do anything with the band until it's in-person.

As a fan of their music, the fact that they aren't working on new songs is disappointing, but the reunion has been worth it to me, just for the large scale tours in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

I'm grateful we got the EP in 2018, my son loves "Love Lounge", and I still listen to "Be A Giver Man" on repeat.
Getting Susquehanna in 2019, was a nice surprise as well. It is one of my fav Live songs from any era.

In 2022, we will get the Secret Samahdi outtakes, and that will be awesome.

I would love a brand new song/album, but I just don't know if it will ever happen.
Hoping for some shows in 2021, and a huge tour in 2022.
