I love @magnetmagazine.bsky.social magnetmagazine.com/2026/04/10/f...

Strumming songs solo from the new Young Fresh Fellows album... here's one! substack.com/profile/5925...

I just wrote my first note on Substack. What the hell! substack.com/profile/5925...

I'm totally stoked, as well as being nervous as hell, to be included in this line-up. But having been many times, I know that it's a feel-good situation, start-to-finish.

Happy 80th birthday to @neilyoungarchives.bsky.social !! I've recorded a couple new Neil-dedicated songs for the occasion. scottthehoople.bandcamp.com/album/neil-i...

I am so thankful for @tcmtv.bsky.social!! Today I'm especially moved by their not-so-subtle programming of anti-fascist WWII movies. Touché!

Talkin @pirates here! Tonight with @the baseballproject at MrSmalls.com — I’m told it’s a cool venue. Pittsburgh is a beautiful city. triblive.com/aande/music/...

Had another excellent conversation with @caropopcast.bsky.social the other evening. We’ll see you, Mark, @thaliahallchicago.bsky.social tonight! www.caropop.com/caropopcast/...

I’ll join my buddy #ThreeChordMonte on @wfmu.bsky.social for a rollicking palaverfest at 1 pm eastern today! There will be music too. WFMU.org

I'm told by those who've listened that this is a really good episode of a really good podcast. It might be too much of me to revisit myself. As Pee Wee Herman once said so poignantly: "I lived it." open.spotify.com/episode/1S40...

Tonight we’ll sing songs of heartbreak and victory. Many about the sport. Others about death and rock n roll. All the usual stuff, smothered in Tabasco.

I wondered if anyone got that… sorry? Or thanks? It seemed in the mood of the song.

This!! See you in UK (with Minus 5, too) as I take my coveted place as bassist/composer/backing vocalist with Luke & Peter in the BLOW YOUR MIND TOUR. Hebden Bridge, here we come!

“The only way to deal with fascism is to show people what it ISN’T over and over again. Joy, love, innocence. Singin In The Rain — that’s the ultimate anti-fascist movie.” - Theodore Roscak, 1991 from his novel Flicker.

Thanks @magnetmagazine.bsky.social for airing my views on The Minus 5 album. Enlightening?... uh, maybe! @remhq.bsky.social @thebangles.bsky.social @yeproc.bsky.social @eddiestasium.bsky.social magnetmagazine.com/2025/06/12/m...

Boone & Jocko are throwing a shindig in the Beulahland this Sunday -- technically @tractortavern.bsky.social in Seattle. A lot of friends and fans will celebrate the music of #MichaelHurley, and I'll be one of them! www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

Tonight at ZEBULON L.A. Last night of our wonderful SoCal sojourn with @vickijohnmusic.bsky.social. They are awesome! We are too! parade.com/news/members...

Here's a cool podcast I did with @vishkhanna.bsky.social on KREATIVE KONTROL... thanks, Vish, for bein' awesome! vishkhanna.com/2025/05/29/e...

As if I needed an explanation!

And I hope some of you can join me as we unveil the new Minus 5 album LIVE at 6 pm Pacific on @bandcamp.com. theminus5.bandcamp.com/merch/oar-on...

Man, this incredible article by Jim Allen almost has ME believing that I AM pretty good! Thanks so much @bandcamp.com!

Thanks to @discoverla.bsky.social for the lovely preview to The Minus 5 show at #Zebulon on June 3! What a cool club. I want to go to there. @remhq.bsky.social @thebangles.bsky.social www.discoverlosangeles.com/things-to-do...

The new YFF album, recorded in one day @ Wilco’s Loft, is unstoppable.

Hey Portland and people of earth, come join me and 44 other songsters swinging Snock tunes galore, tomorrow at noon - 5 pm, under the stars! Michael Hurley will be there, for sure, in his way.

A real lovely version of the @remhq.bsky.social classic by a @yeproc.bsky.social labelmate! ffm.to/strangecurre...

Chatted today with NW & YFF historian Feliks Banel about the “legendary” BEER MONEY 45. Apologies to the Del Fuegos… on.soundcloud.com/U6QgxPkdBHdj...

I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to meet, work with, and learn from Clem Burke. What a master. Respect the rock! thesplitsquad.com

The schedule has been decided and my buddies and I are all over it! #undergroundgaragecruise undergroundgaragecruise.com/schedule

This is such an amazing festival!! Sorry not to make it this year...

“We felt that songwriting was something we wanted to be really, really, good at. We felt that that’s one of the things that might separate us from other bands, so we just worked very hard at that.” - Mike Mills Read Katherine Yeske Taylor’s feature on R.E.M. americansongwriter.com/r-e-m-shares...

Happy Opening Day! All Future, No Past? Rock & Roll Never Forgets!

Hugh Jones' Substack memoir explores the years he worked at Seattle's beloved Cellophane Square record store during a transformative period in American music history. Craig Wright spoke with Jones about 'The Record Store Years' and his life in music.

Get 'em while ya can!

I like this guy's take on my records. Not just because he's almost unfailingly complementary, but because it's ALL TRUE. www.jitterywhiteguymusic.com

I’ve watched this horrific beautiful brilliant squirmy film numerous times, including yesterday on @tcmtv.bsky.social — thanks for giving it its due, Split Tooth!

Our new Minus 5 video/single is out! @remhq.bsky.social @drivebytruckers.bsky.social @stevewynn.bsky.social @yeproc.bsky.social @alejandro-escovedo.bsky.social @chuckprophet.bsky.social @wesleystace.bsky.social @thebangles.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4SoRNpD6yQ

ICYMI: This week, we interviewed Scott McCaughey about his time with R.E.M. and the new record from The Minus 5. Available now!

@schumer.senate.gov Can we have our money back? You won't get any more. We know when you roll over and screw the people who contributed to your campaign.

Tonight I’ll play two ‘LA cover songs’ at this benefit for fire victims. Both by LA-based artists, one takes place there too. Go ahead, guess!

I think I might be ready to discuss the next 40-years-ago chapter: 1985’s TOPSY TURVY. Let’s get coffee!

Discussing the chords to @remhq.bsky.social song “Bandwagon” with @jasonnarducy.bsky.social

Love this take by bandmate @lukehaines.bsky.social about M5 member (and recent YFF & Luke session man) Morgan Fisher and my hero Ian Hunter. Mott forever! I dig even the schizophrenic WILDLIFE, btw.

Simple joys.

Very proud to announce new Minus 5 album, single, video, etc. Thanks to all who made it great! Pre-order: ffm.to/oaronpenelope. @remhq.bsky.social @yeproc.bsky.social

Still-life. It’s still life.

I love her. Her A CHILD'S ADVENTURE is one of the most beautiful records. What an incredible life. "Falling from grace, falling from grace Lord, you have a pretty face Take it away and pack it in a suitcase Then forget about falling from grace."
