Things can be soft.

@actualylt.bsky.social @bourgwick.bsky.social Lil secret show at Mama Tried made everybody feel better. Thank you! 💜

Bizzy bizzy in the park this morning. 🤓🐦‍⬛ (Not me running behind due to my slow bird mosey. 👀)

Been making music with my friend Billy Bouchard under the name Soft Alphabet, and we are going to share a bill with my Activity bandmate Jess Rees—who will be playing her own beautiful solo songs—on July 3rd at Sunview Acropolis. Come through if you’re around!

Thanks to my very kind coworkers and friends at the studio, I finally have non-daisy chained power for my vocal and guitar/bass rigs, respectively. 🥹 A month out from a small show, and I’m excited to test it out.

Actually crying at the YMCA because Charlene, one of my sweet lil swimming lady locker room friends, remembered it was my birthday last week and asked me how it was. I just put her birthday into my calendar so I can wish her a happy 72md this September.

Full circle birthday month. 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

The fight with girlfriend on speaker phone while you sit at the bar that I am tending is a real vibe, dude.

Happy New Miss Grit Day to those who celebrate. They are playing Night Club 101 tonight.

Wishing more than ever that Sam Jayne was here to celebrate his birthday with us, playing a guitar in shark pants or waking everybody up with coffee and trying to get their asses to the beach with him so we can listen to music and float on inflatable pizzas. Hug all your friends and play music today

Still thinking about this Grateful Dead Acoustic Reckoning set from Thursday night at The Cap. Second time seeing Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, and Paul Kowert in less than a year and I hope I get to see them many more times. Actual magic.

I love my neighborhood. Last week this skeleton was dressed like a Mets fan.

'A Demonstration' (1st new mix in a year) explores the spare pithiness and essential beauty of the "demo". Songs we love, revealed in embryonic form, but somehow already beautifully complete. musicophilia.wordpress.com/2026/03/24/a... Lou Reed, Broadcast, Nick Drake, Songs:Ohia, Judee Sill, et al

I got to be in the empty Guggenheim theater today, and it ruled. I’ve never been lucky enough to see anything here, but it felt good to stand on the stage for a few moments.

Saying a slow goodbye to winter, as it finally warms up.

Black and white film, Brooklyn at night. 🖤

Lee Ranaldo and Michael Vallera at Union Pool, at the benefit for Jennifer Kelly. Much love and healing and live music to you, @jenpkelly.bsky.social!

Found a lot of nice little things today, film photos included.

Second Friday the 13th in a row and the punishers are out.

A perfectly New York day making new friends, and now my first NYT photo byline. 🥹 Thank you, @kliakos.com and everybody involved who made some actual Brooklyn magic happen.

The only Dan and Peggy Reeder show photo I snapped last night. Best singalong ever. Here’s their live album, out today, if you want even a fraction of the joy one feels in the room with them. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
