When your neighborhood dive bar has your back.

Holiday bush unlocked.

The tradition continues.

Packers vs Lions. Everyone is yelling at the TV. And the house smells great. This is the best of the Holidays.

There’s a Robert Pollard lyric from a song called “Larger Massachusetts” that always gives me hope when I hear it: “The medium-sized world is making a comeback / The world at large is drowning”

This interview is chock full of so much to love. Bob changes his mind. And a Grateful Dead guy discovers a parallel universe of family united in staying true to the vision. Looking forward to the exhibit opening in Detroit! #GuidedByVoices #RobertPollard open.substack.com/pub/excitedo...

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you are traveling this Thanksgiving…

Is it wrong that I hope Santa brings me these undies?

It’s hard when the Rangers are playing the Blues. I feel a little torn. 😆

This 1978 photo of Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth outside a McDonalds in Kirkwood near my old stomping grounds keeps cracking me up.

Houses in Motion at Madison’s High Noon last night was the third 20 years of a band show I’ve done in the span of one week. What does that say about us? 😆

When in Rome… But seriously, how did I get here?!

Today’s groove.

Put your earbuds in and enjoy this Hallelujah the Hills/Ho-Ag collab teaser. @Deep Cuts 11/15/25

“When everybody taps out, I’m just coming alive.” “Jokes on You” Deck: Diamonds Hallelujah the Hills live @ Deep Cuts 11/15/25 20th Anniversary Show

In Charlotte visiting my son who is here driving the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Never did I imagine I would live in a time when people visiting a giant hotdog would light up when they realized the potential of their free wiener whistles in saving lives and keeping families together. #HotDogsColdIce

Today’s soundtrack. Lifeguard.

🎶 “I’m starting over again.” 🎶 “Here Goes Nothing” Deck: Diamonds Hallelujah The Hills

“While I’m selling the present, my mind will drift back to the past.” Happy 20th Birthday Hallelujah the Hills! Love hearing everyone singing along.

One of the best parts of being a musician are the stories you collect. One time when Hallelujah the Hills Nicholas Ward was in Madison, Wisconsin, a nice lady offered for them to stay at her place. When they got there, the door opened and he was met with a different message. 😆

The Hallelujah the Hills 20th Anniversary Birthday show at Deep Cuts on November 15, 2025, came streaming in with longtime Boston band & friends Ho-Ag and they blew out the candles with horn a-blazing.

The Hallelujah the Hills 20th Anniversary show at Deep Cuts in Medford, MA, is something so deep I’m not quite ready to talk about it, but I promise to post more tomorrow.

It’s a trip when the gummy kicks in and all the Deadheads around you have a strong Boston accent. #DarkStarOrchestra #Boston #Orpheum

I may move East just for the pizza. #Boston

“When the red sun sets on the railroad town And the bars begin to laugh with a happy sound I'll still be here right by your side There'll not be anyone in my heart but you.” Happy Birthday, Neil Young. Thank you for the music that sticks in my brains and veins.

Meet me in Medford Saturday night! HTH Birthday Bash!!!

I’ve yet to make it to my first Heedfest, but this interview didn’t disappoint in confirming what I’ve heard to be true about its namesake: pure love, humor, and authentic down-to-earth Daytonian do-it. Thank you, Morgan and Mike! #GuidedByVoices #TheHeed open.substack.com/pub/excitedo...

In an ever-bleak world. Here’s a little something new.

This is definitely a “friends” transaction.

well the 'don't speak ill of the dead' rule in this place is going to face challenges today isn't it

One of my all-time favorite shows.

Currently living on the second floor of an old Victorian 2 flat behind a dive bar. The view of Madison’s Capitol and the smell of hamburgers never gets old. #Forward #Madison #Wisconsin

Super excited to catch this documentary tonight.

Pop! Bob and Slusarenko! #Bobtober youtube.com/watch?v=Wvdf...

I’ve fallen down on my #Bobtober posting! Listening as always. Always like it when this one pops up. music.apple.com/us/album/eye...

Caught the new Bruce Springsteen movie. Throughout the film, I could never picture Jeremy Allen White as Bruce in my mind, but thought he did such a soulful job playing out the emotions of what Bruce may have been going through I got there all the way.

Get out of his way, he’s going in! #Bobtober music.apple.com/us/album/im-...

In the top 5 Midwestern things I’ve heard my coworkers say, “I was thinking of bringing potatoes to the potluck, but I lost the Nesco in the divorce.”

Noticed this label on my birthday cake. It’s now my new motto for the year.

Woke to 6 crows enjoying scattered leftover takeaway from last night’s homecoming game. Wisconsin lost, but this album’s a winner. #Bobtober youtu.be/XN9uaQJz0ZA

What in the sports tornado! Brewers/ Cubs, Badgers and Rangers all playing tonight.

If you have no idea who Craig Finn is, take a listen. He opened for Bob Mould this past spring in Madison and has been in my rotation since.

A Salty Salute to all the October birthdays! #Bobtober #MusicChallenge music.apple.com/us/album/mur...

Stoked for my new REED: Transformer by Ezra Furman. If you haven’t checked out 33 1/3 book series yet, there’s probably a band/album they’ve covered you can’t wait to curl up with.

In the words of @themountaingoats.bsky.social “I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.”
