2025 was a year but at least we have the music.

Grateful for all the great shows I saw this year and the friends I saw them with! This is just a smattering of some of the favs (new and old) got to experience this year. Bonus points for anyone who actually watches it #yearinmusic

One of the many reasons we are working so hard to plan a free concert for Cancer Patients:

When I was first going through chemo, it was in the middle of COVID. There were infusions when I couldn’t even have someone with me in the hospital, so to think I would get to go to a concert anytime soon? No way.

Just when I thought all options for live music joy would be stripped from my itinerary, my dear friend @adinaf25 invited me to the Greek to see John Legend. Outdoor venue, outdoor VIP reception, and socially distanced meet and greet.

While waiting for the show to start, we all got to be together, and @lindseystirling was there too. Perhaps this was foreshadowing the joy we would hope to bring to more patients and survivors in the future.

Well, the future is now. I am so grateful for Adina and Lindsey kicking things off to make our vision with @ohyouresotough a reality. This free concert for cancer patients, survivors, and thrivers is going to be EPIC.

Make sure to check out all of the details at notdeadyetfest.org.

8 years ago today I launched “Wolfie’s Just Fine” with this song and video. Writing and recording these songs has meant many things to me over the years, but most importantly, it’s been the joy of creating and collaborating with dozens of incredibly talented and lovely human beings. Thank you to anyone and everyone who’s been a part of this passion project over the years, and to anyone and everyone who’s listened. (Special thank you to the great Gabriel Michael Bateman for his heart wrenching performances in this video and “A New Beginning”)

Making the music video for “Hulk Hogan Slammed Andre the Giant” was a magical experience, and really brought out the child-like joy in all of us. The video is as special as it is because of the following people:

@justinslademcclain
There is no video without Justin Slade McClain (Or there’d be a really bad one shot on my iPhone on my back porch). He not only co-directed it with me, but was the DP, production designer, camera operator… Basically, he did all the beautiful work you see, and I got to say “Maybe the shot should be a little wider here?” once in a while. He was my creative partner in this, or more accurately, I was his creative partner. He did the filmmaking equivalent of lifting a 520 lbs giant and slamming him.

@marquesvmallare AC extraordinaire brought his A game into the ring, and a contagious lightness of spirit that brought laughter and smiles on set even when the match wasn’t going our way.

@cjmorarocks Art Department / Puppeteer who not only controlled the chaos of everything you see on screen, but was one of two puppeteers who breathed life and humanity into these
motionless vintage LJN rubber wrestlers.

@walleyewilds was our wonderful gaffer who lit these wrestlers gorgeously, and was also the second puppeteer responsible bringing humanity to 35 year old hunks of rubber.

@dunphy7 Our editor who turned 6 hours of footage into a nuanced, gentle 4-minute emotional journey into the past.

@midnightdogs for bringing the 80s VHS vibe to our fam footage

@rkmstudios_color for once again giving our footage a glorious, nuanced cinematic beauty that gives everyone the impression that we had the budget of a Spielberg movie.

Last but not least, the heart of the video, the boys and grandma. It was an honor, and such an incredibly beautiful and emotionally layered experience to recreate a moment from my childhood with my family. There were 3 generations of Lajoies involved! My nephews played the role of the “the boys” and my mother played “Grandma.” My brother Jer and my sister-in-law Mel were on set as well. And the classic LJN figures and the championship belt were from my older brother Jason’s collection.

Peak life/creative experience ❤️

This is the 2nd single off of WOLFIE’S JUST FINE’S forthcoming album “Everyone Is Dead Except Us” out June 16th.

Hey friends, this song is an ode to a window of time in my childhood when the world felt simple, and unfettered and unfiltered joy was still easily accessible. A time when Hulk Hogan defeating Andre the Giant meant that everything was going to be okay for ever and ever. When playing with my WWF wrestling figurines in my backyard with my older brother was more thrilling and exciting than any roller coaster ride or $200 million dollar blockbuster film. As an adult, I rarely have access to that kind of emotional exhilaration anymore because, you know, life. However, that pure, blissful, unadulterated, child-like joy is so powerful, that even the memory of it can cause a small portion to travel through time to the present and put a silly smile on my solemn forty-two year-old face.

To add to the joy of it all, my mom makes her award-worthy acting debut here as "Grandma" and my nephews were pitch perfect as "Brothers in the late 80s playing with WWF wrestling figurines in the backyard” (Thank you to my brother Jer and sister-in-law Mel for kindly and recklessly letting me borrow the boys for the afternoon). Also a big thank you to my brother Jason for loaning me his precious collection of vintage LJN figurines, objectively the best toys ever made.
