Whoa…the next Sphere in the US will be smaller and 15 minutes from my house. https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/2026/01/18/minisphere-dc-maryland-national-harbor/

Wow, what a powerful start to this JRAD show. There also appears to be an extra guitar amp and set of monitors next to Metzger. Mayer guest spot, maybe?

I saw Don Was and his Pan-Detroit Ensemble last night. Great show! At first, I was kind of disappointed that he was going to be playing Dead material (the tour is being advertised as a "Blues For Allah" 50th anniversary tribute) given my lack of interest in more GD cover projects and the fact […]

The saddest part of the situation in Minneapolis to me is that they’re walking right into Trump‘s trap. He wants this escalation so he can send in the military. It’s been the plan the whole time. They chose Minneapolis because they knew that it was already a hot bed based on the 2020 protests.

Watched "Song Sung Blue" last night. It's really great! Not at all what you'd expect from a movie about a Neil Diamond tribute band. It's a pretty incredible story, and I can't wait to wath the 2008 documentary that it was based on. (Side note...is this a new Hollywood trend? This and Smashing […]

[Stranger Things S5 Thoughts] I wasn't motivated at all to watch the final season. Too much time has passed, too much hype, story too far from the core. Someone slipped me a rip of the season so I decided to check it out. I'm glad I watched it. Overall, it was a fine ending to the story […]

Who would have thought the drummers would be the last ones standing?

RIP Bobby. Thank you.

This is sexy as hell. Look at those transients!

I haven't seen Phish since Hollywood Bowl in April. Forced to sit out the entire Summer and Fall tours. Almost died. Came back stronger than ever. All the fuckery of 2025. Needless to say, tonight is going to be glorious for me no matter what they play. If you see an overly-emotional guy in […]

Me: Hey ChatGPT, write a script that does XYZ for me. ChatGPT: Ok, here is your absolutely perfect, production-ready code. Me: {runs code} Me: I got this error. ChatGPT: Ahh yes, the classic flimflam error! Here's how you fix that. Me: Bro, if you knew that it was a classic error (because […]

Ordered myself a set of adjustable dumbbells with a Xmas gift card. They came quickly, and now the problem is that I have over 100 lbs of dumbbell on my front stoop that I need to get into the house. 🤔

I love the panning effect on Mike's "Quad Toppling" samples in the LP mix. Wonder if it was like that in the room?

SCOOP: Flock left at least 60 of its AI-powered, people-tracking surveillance cameras exposed and livestreaming to the open internet. We tracked ourselves. The exposure highlights the power of these cameras and types of things they're tracking. Not just cars. […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Still not 100% sold on Geese, but this Cameron Winter album has finally cracked into my brain in a weird way.

Wish You Were Here 50th anniversary is out today with: - Atmos Mix* - Outtakes (some previously heard, others like an early take of Shine On... being new and amazing) - Touched up AUD tape of a 1975 LA show Well worth your time if you're a fan of this stone cold classic. (*Have not listened […]

Boom, there we go https://phish.com/news/phish-returns-to-sphere-for-nine-nights-in-2026/

I told my daughter that she has to watch the entire Beatles Anthology with me. It’s a required assignment. Watched the first two eps last night and she was absolutely enthralled by it. I’ve played the Beatles around her a lot, obviously, but she only “knows” a few songs. The combination of […]

Counterpoint: Suck my dick, honky.

Eat A Peach and Idlewildsouth are out in Atmos and both sound fantastic, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Great night last night! JRAD was pretty great. Not the best show I’ve seen from them, but an upbeat first set and Bruce encore bookended a nice and jammy 2nd set. Said 2nd set was not enough for me to get my dance jones fixed, so I headed across town and met my wife at a dance party/rave/burner […]

The world is going to shit, I'm trapped in a glass cage of emotion, but at least I get to see JRAD tonight!

80 artists list their favorite Neil Young tune and not a single one picked "Powderfinger" SMDH. (Still a good read) https://stereogum.com/2476602/80-artists-pick-their-favorite-neil-young-song/lists#google_vignette

This is actually pretty brilliant. I usually have to open a blank document or web page with white background to get my lighting right on video calls and I’ve heard of others doing the same. https://mastodon.social/@macrumors/115538976879940981

Bravo. This is exactly how you do this. 👏

Virginia people: I don't care how confident the polls make you feel. Get the fuck out there and vote Spanberger today.

Breaking: Dick Cheney arrives in Hell

Awwwwwwww damn. Team Donna Jean forever.

A House of Dynamite on Netflix is INTENSE. Worth a watch if you're not quite paranoid enough about the state of the world.

Surprising to absolutely no one. https://wapo.st/4hxOdFo

So sad. Pierre was such a huge influence on my musical upbringing. https://6abc.com/post/legendary-933-wmmr-radio-personality-pierre-robert-has-died/18086744/

Parcels! What a show! Joyous, life-affirming, uplifting dance party. Exactly what I needed.

Do you think 11Eleven just has a template for fired drummer announcements at this point?

Well there you go

Deliver Me From Nowhere: Good, not great. The two Jeremys are fantastic. The script is kind of weak. It falls into some music biopic landmines, but not many. It’s a fun watch for Bruce fans and worth a trip to see it on a big screen with a loud sound system (I saw it in IMAX).

I cannot believe I'm actually listening to this right now. Never thought it would happen.

The orange iPhone I ordered a month ago arrives today. Excited to see if it’s already turned pink!

Great article on the press situation at the Pentagon by a guy who happens to be my neighbor. https://www.npr.org/2025/10/14/g-s1-93297/pentagon-reporter-opinion-press-policy

Holy shit. RIP D'angelo

LULZZZZZZ https://wapo.st/3LaSH8M

This is gross. Hard to believe it's the same guy who essentially created "The Spot" on Jamcruise, one of the most organic musical happenings I've ever experienced. https://www.jambase.com/article/nathan-moore-ai-album-artificial

The new John Candy doc is a really nice watch. A great reminder of what a comedic force he was in the 80s. Those of us who are of a certain age remember him being everywhere in our childhood. It's not a great documentary necessarily, it's probably about 30 minutes too long, but recommended if […]
