you've never known the epic highs and lows of being a punk band in philadelphia that nobody listens to

when I say I didn’t care for the Geese album, that makes me brave and interesting

Shout-out to my friends listening to Bright Eyes and Sufjan Stevens today

the rumors are true. i DID put out my annual christmas song yesterday. it is inspired by the holiday gift that keeps on giving, my reserves of patience when i am on the phone with my health insurance company on.soundcloud.com/KdoOzfwzMUkV...

Brand EW and All Time BLOWS

Take a shot every time you drive past a Wawa; I call it the Delco DUI

Novel idea: animated comedy show for adults that doesn’t look like ass

The question is, are musicians artists or entertainment? To me, the answer is both: I want to see bands like Garbage put on an entertaining show and I want to respect them as artists and be an active, engaged participant in their performance on their own terms, not punting someone else's beach ball.

say what you want about LCD Soundsystem - they’ve spent the past 20+ years making the straight men feel safe enough to dance a lil bit

Beloved venue World Cafe Live needs community support more than ever to survive but won’t, because their new management foolishly prioritized venture capital funding, promising revolutionary VR experiences and the metaverse, while treating their workers like an expendable nuisance. 🧵

Recording Eighteen (Astro's debut album) was one of the most challenging things I've ever done. Before, I used to judge bands' releases on whether I thought they were good; now I am just impressed when a band manages to pull off releasing an album at all.

i would really like to talk to musicians sick of spotify! we have things in the works! i want to talk to you! please repost this. dont despair--lets organize!!!

Mildly annoyed that my time on Earth is finite and I have to choose which passions to sideline. I wonder how many places and activities I will have not experienced when I die.

every time I have a romantic experience with my partner they say “wow it feels like I’m in a dead wife montage” and it really brings down the mood

What if, instead of a resume, you had to include a philosophical treatise of morality devised from first principles

wait you can just do that

everyone follow @fadedhome.bsky.social RIGHT NOW!!

you ever been so down bad you redo their website

Update: I played Wonderwall at a party, made eye contact with someone in the audience and we started dating soon after. I know this sounds like a joke but I am 100% serious lol

Just watched this movie last night and I can't stop thinking about it 😵‍💫 (Frank, 2014)

GenAI music is charting 😩 I wish I could explain why I think AI music sucks but I can't. It's antithetical to what art is. It's anti-life. How can I explain to someone the difference between real flowers and fake plastic ones? The difference between someone who likes you and someone who pretends to?

iPhones should have XLR ports with phantom power

OK! serious question, please gimmie some advice: how do I get better at writing essays as an adult? There’s only so much I can learn from writing and re-reading it later and being like “yep, could have done better”.

I’ve been keeping a blog lately which has been great for my brain but I’m good enough at reading to know that I am bad at writing; I wish I could retake my college writing classes! also sorry all my skeets are at like 2AM lol

I used to work at a place that sold vintage toys and we would say "Glup Shitto" a lot

playing drums in a Bright Eyes cover set tonight with my pal Conor what’s up I love Halloween

Bluesky is “decentralized”, which means I was able to create a totally self-hosted account (punk.cafe), then authenticated & posted a skeet from my own app. And here it is, totally visible on Bluesky! This is extremely cool to me.

this is the way

Shatner, Deftones, Butthole Surfers and Limp Bizkit; this list rules

I've been getting back into drumming and forgot how cathartic it is. You don't have to be bored, you can just play the drums! You don't have to be angry, you can just play the drums! You don't have to be sad, just para-diddle-diddle 'til you're over it!

Cheekface was right, this statement is false

how can I convince my friends to listen to Thin Lizzy

just spent 11+ hours today recording for Astro Alloy album #2. easy. enjoyed every minute. if all I could do for the rest of my life is record my music in a studio I'd be happy.

I have returned with more rules for musicians that nobody asked for, studio recording edition! Please no: - babies crying - ambulance or police sirens - alarm clocks Thank you.

sad to see someone else living my dream (getting the Billy Corgan / Erewhon "OG Goth" smoothie in Los Angeles)

yhinking about Gritty Again

watch me almost die from a soda can at Roxyunk Porchfest (next show: partiful.com/e/ShQ4CkTBKt...)

Can confirm Worldwide by Snooper and Something to Consume by Die Spitz are 🔥

The Black Parade is a timeless album. Still slaps.

we replaced the faded drum wrap on my kit with red canvas and I love how it turned out! 😻

wow famous Bluesky poster @themountaingoats.bsky.social does music, too!!

I think it's weird when someone asks if I think I'm autistic. Just cuz I wear the same outfit every day, live almost exclusively off nutritionally-complete protein shakes, wear earplugs all the time ahh fufck fuck fuck

New Astro Alloy album is currently 1.5 hours long and I am going to lose my mind

October is looking up, folks!!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot! One thing I’ve noticed is that each member’s individual contributions aren’t particularly remarkable but each member has their own style that blends together into something greater.

no more fun punk Astro Alloy in 2026 next album is gonna be exclusively goregrind and powerviolence

Everyone else in Astro Alloy may be married or engaged but I just put together a sick new pedalboard 🔥 🔥 🔥

Proud, at age 34, to never own a driver’s license (btw, could you give me a ride?)
