I promise you, you’re not enraged enough about this horrific killing and maiming. The killer has no driver’s license, no insurance, and his vehicle was registered in Mississippi, but he managed to drive it through Manhattan during UN week with a novelty souvenir back plate.

This is why those sidewalk mounted apartment mail boxes are not a great idea.

sometimes i watch classic hollywood films — this happened recently with HIGH NOON — and i think, “yeah i get it, this whips.” i’m having a similar experience with music right now and specifically the work of duke ellington. i’m listening to the man’s work and i’m like, “yeah, this stuff is sick”

For the birthday boy I wrote about Coltrane's Terminal Vibrato. Or its absence. jacobgarchik.substack.com/p/i-want-my-tv

Thanks again to everyone who came out to see Amaryllis on our About Ghosts tour. Last night's final show at Roulette, featuring special guests Brian Settles and Immanuel Wilkins, is now archived online. More info about our European dates coming soon! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C0V...

Mary Halvorson ftw www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C0V...

The weekend before yesterday, I got out of the house and saw Third Eye Blind, Ringo Starr, Rilo Kiley, Jack White, Pixies, Mary Halvorson, Patricia Brennan, Nick Dunston, Tomas Fujiwara, Adam O'Farrill, and Jacob Garchik (not in order of preference): bradluen.substack.com/p/vibes-in-t...

The framing around the death of the Times Square casino is “broadway groups“ opposed it. The theater owners opposed it. The musicians union supported it. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/n...

What’s all this I hear about people excited about the messiah JC on September 23?

At the Mary Halvorson Sextet show.

. . .Great #MaryHalvorson show tonight at the #Regattabar. A small taste, feat. Adam O'Farrill (trumpet), Jacob Garchik (trombone), Patricia Brennan (vibraphone), Mary Halvorson (guitar), Nick Dunston (bass) & Tomas Fujiwara (drums) #jazzsky #jazz #livejazz

About to see Mary Halvorson at the Regattabar jazz club in Harvard Square. #jazzsky #jazz #MaryHalvorson #Regattabar Posted about her latest album, About Ghosts, back in June:

Took my son to his very first concert tonight: Mary Halvorson at Regattabar in Cambridge. Stunning.

I interviewed trombone god @jacobgarchik.bsky.social about his prog-jazz-sci-fi opus "Ye Olde 2: At the End of Time", Ancient Aliens, Scientology, and life on the road. It's up at my Old New substack: oldnew.substack.com/p/ye-olde-is...

#NowPlaying on Radio Nothing 3588: Jacob Garchik | Floating Brain | Ye Olde 2: At the End of Time

« Ye Olde 2 : At the End of Time » de Jacob Garchik fait suite à l'album « Ye Olde » sorti en 2015, qui imaginait un groupe de héros voyageant à travers un Brooklyn médiéval imaginaire. On écoute ➡️ https://l.francemusique.fr/Lhj

Whoops never posted Mary Halvorson last night

You can really see the price impact of tariffs on audio equipment like speakers, microphones, & headphones—they're some of the few electronics not exempt from tariffs (most smartphones/computers are still tariff-free) & so prices are up more than 12% year-on-year

We said this was going to happen, but Mayor Adams didn't care: Cyclists are being forced into dangerous traffic by all of the double parking on three blocks of Bedford Avenue where the mayor ripped out a protected bike lane.

14th and 6th Ave. Somebody’s been checking out Tehran brickwork Instagram.

The age-old #bikenyc lane story - so tedious @nyc.streetsblog.org nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/08/d...

Morning rush on church Ave: 3 west bound buses on church between Bedford and Flatbush, and 4 west bound buses between Bedford and Rogers. 7 buses in 2 blocks. That’s bunching.

I'm on tour of the Midwest and the Northeast next week with Mary Halvorson's Amaryllis. Hope to see you then. jacobgarchik.substack.com/p/the-us-tour

It be bandcamp Friday, which means if you buy my digital album Ye Olde 2 today I get all the proceeds. jacobgarchik.bandcamp.com/album/ye-old...

I made an unboxing video. Ye Olde 2 CDs are available from www.downtownmusicgallery.com and they ship worldwide! www.instagram.com/p/DOJ4wJ7EXkG/

100 years ago, a developer had a chance to do an apt building on a corner lot in a bustling neighborhood. Instead they chose to do a row of teensy 2 story houses with parking in back. Almost no chance they will ever be redeveloped . www.corcoran.com/listing/for-...

I’m glad a former Barboncino worker got the chance to write about what happened with the closure of what was once far and away my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn thebaffler.com/latest/a-fai...

Nadler ‘said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza “without question.”’

Jacob Garchik – Ye Olde 2: At the End of Time (2025; Bandcamp) Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Ten years ago, trombonist Jacob Garchik released Ye Olde an imaginary romp through a medieval Brooklyn. The album featured an unusual lineup of Garchik, drummer Vinnie Sperrazza, and three guitarists…

Since we are talking about things that people want to stuff into the IBX/freight right of way, here's an abandoned late Robert Moses plan from 1967 to build a cross brooklyn expressway and a "linear city". pubsindex.trb.org/view.aspx?id...

1974 Miles talking about, among other things, his love for Stockhausen and Thad Jones. Always fascinated how he maintained friendships and admiration for his peers even when he was in his most avant garde period and they were not. lewisporter.substack.com/p/miles-davi...

Recommendation for where the city should build new BRT routes. Church Ave is in the top ten. reorientations.medium.com/where-should...

City vaguely proposes a greenway along the IBX route...not sure how that would work exactly or if this is Adams admin vaporware. www.nyc.gov/html/dot/dow...

JD Vance asking to be invited into a city feels really on the nose after Sinners

@jacobgarchik.bsky.social's 'Ye Olde 2, At The End of Time' is a fun listen even with its complex, wild imagination because you can feel the apparent fun that went into playing it. Read about his latest opus here> somethingelsereviews.com/2025/08/27/j... Out FRIDAY from Yestereve Records.

The fact that Shostakovich watched Jesus Christ Superstar (twice!) is something my brain just refuses to compute.

Recommended interview. The albums a thrill, too (more on that later).

Fantastic interview with jazztimes about my album Ye Olde 2. We play Aug 29 at Nublu. jazztimes.com/features/pro...

Surely we will hear stories from some Eastman classmates about the nazi porn performer horn players.

I remember some wag saying “what idiot called it IMSLP and not PDF Bach”

New poll: The vast majority of NYC Dem primary voters agree with Mamdani’s Israel positions, even arresting Bibi. 57% say they’d be less likely to support incumbent Dems who don’t endorse Mamdani. That includes Schumer and Jeffries right now. www.semafor.com/article/07/2...
