I’ve been getting a lot of questions about this after playing it at the past few shows. “Christmas Morning in My Girlfriend’s Car,” which I have been told is a “bop,” will go out as the clock strikes midnight going from 12/24 –> 12/25 as track 1 of this: https://emperorx.bandcamp.com/album/-

Philosophy Poll Results from 15 November 2022
I posted this on Twitter earlier this week. I respond to the results below..
FREE WILL:
We agree, 64.7% majority “free will exists” voters. For now I’m convinced by libertarian arguments (not in the political sense of course; I mean libertarian as opposed to compatibilism or determinism.) Don’t know what flavor (event-causal, agent-causal, etc.) yet. Working on it.
GOD:
We agree, 27.4% minority “God exists” voters. I see an uncaused universe as implausible. “What caused God then?” It’s God, all the way up. This is my most teleological opinion; I hereby submit myself to the philosophy cops for interrogation, during which I will behave very badly.
ROBOT CONSCIOUSNESS:
We agree, 54% majority “non-bio. consc. is possible” voters. We exist; physical consciousness is clearly possible. No principle rules out other physical forms. This is NOT a reductive position. Less “we’re not special,” more “we’re special, and many other things COULD BE special.”

WHERE IS THE MOASIS? (Jacksonville, Fri. 23 Sep. 2022)
This Friday I’m singing in Jacksonville for the first time in…honestly not sure, six years maybe? Crazy. Anyway, I’m getting a bunch of requests for details. Here’s what I can share.
Venue: The Moasis
Time: 7pm (early show, early curfew)
Cost: $10 at the door
Lineup: FLORIDA SMASH HITS opens, EMPEROR X closes
“BUT CHAD, WHERE IS THIS ‘MOASIS’ OF WHICH YOU SPEAK?”
It’s a private location, which is why the folks who set it up and I are being so conspiratorial about it. If you fill out this Google Form I’ll make sure a robot sends you the address a few hours before the show. (It’s in central Jacksonville, so you can vaguely plan a bit at least.)
https://forms.gle/w57KgMDaKzLeHprp6
You can also DM any of the other folks posting about this show for the address (but not me, I’m terrible at DMs.)
Go Jaguars. This tongue licks teal.
Why yes, I am indeed performing in Atlanta this evening.
