New Album: Drone Alone

Posted on June 1, 2013 by Rob

Drone Alone

After eight and a half years of living and dying in the same room in Lower Allston I have left the city. I’ll be homeless for a bit and living out of my car … But it’s better than getting darker and more desperate in my situation in that bedroom. I gotta clear my head before I get even crazier. It’s been a wild ride creatively but I’m heartbroken, tired, and need to recharge. I love my art and its kept me alive this long so I gotta stay sane to create more of her. If you have a couch to offer let me know. And if you wanna make a donation to my cause then please check out my new free album below and help me out if you would like. Thank you and god bless.

Time is Currency

Posted on February 23, 2013 by Rob

I’m going to keep creating till they f$%king come into this room and pull the send button from my hand. I don’t care if it’s a oh so lonely path…. That I live in shitty housing making shit money so I can have as much time to myself to create as possible. That it attracts time bombs, thieves, and loons that never seem to have art or my best interest in mind when they continue their childish behaviors or use me…. Just keep your head down and fight the creative fight…

Rob Potylo goes over time being the ultimate currency. This is taken from the reality sitcom out of Boston Quiet Desperation. To watch the full episode click here…
