Faux Jean is a singing cowboy from Duluth, Minn. Each week he adds a new song to an evolving record series over on Bandcamp and writes about it here. “From the Mixed Up Files of Mr. Matthew T. Schindler” is somewhere between a fake newsletter and a faux press release for the eponymous wabi-sabi private label album series that continues to evolve over there. Thanks for checking it out.

Listen to today’s song addition to the “Mixed Up Files” in the player below. ‘Tis free to listen a time or two.
I learned that the word “Butthurt” had been mainstreamed through its appearance in the Oxford English Dictionary by reading the below essay by Elif Batuman, and figured I needed to get this song idea recorded while the Zeitgeist was sizzling.
Here are the lyrics for this one minute rant:
Walking Around All Butthurt
Feeling sorry for yourself
Drinking the martyr juice again
Walking Around All Butthurt
Feeling sorry for yourself
Blaming everybody else
Yer walking around
all butthurt
Yer walking around
all butthurt . . .again.
It’s a start.
Until next week, I remain your humble servant,
OX&C,
Faux Jean
