Things from a box vol. XXVIVX

Going through my phone archives, found a few clips from Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. Before things got strange with covid. It was awesome time seeing these guys, especially this close. RIP Dallas Good

Dirty Duff Denizens (DDD): a go fund me for the mall cobbler who's $10K patching machine needs to be replaced. This guy is down the long hall, behind the scenes. You can see some original terrazo nearby, from the days before the mall expanded & sent semi-bougie.

The new Long Branch album is out now! Listen on our bandcamp, buy deluxe vinyl there too. On all the usual streamers. longbranchmusic.bandcamp.com/album/arc-of...

The great and mind-bogglingly prolific author Edmund White. I shot this during 1989 International Festival of Authors in Toronto, the first time I heard him read. From thereon I read all of his books in his voice, colouring them with more depth and a conspiratorial salaciousness. RIP #edmundwhite

What a party this must have been... Thank you @thedonpyle.bsky.social #drawnandquarterly #jonathanrichman #shadowymenonashadowyplanet

Dallas’s absence feels so profound some days. Missing him every day but particularly having him in mind and heart on this rainy, blustery 52nd anniversary of his birth. #dallasgood #dallasgoodforever

Long Branch plays The Sound Garage to launch our second album! Openers are Montreal’s Ada Lea (solo), and the debut of This Is How We Die, a new band that includes Kevan and Allan from King Cobb Steelie. Thurs July 10. Advance tix on sale Friday. Presented by @collectiveconcerts #longbranchband

Long Branch, the rock band I play drumbs in, has just released first single from forthcoming album. Listen here and everywhere!! youtu.be/Gtd9paXT1LM?...

Doggy style

A master of his craft. @nickcavefeeds.bsky.social

It was nice knowing you when you when there were many things about you that were great, USA. I’m so sorry for how they’re desecrating your corpse.

Mogwai! Brainiac! Intense volume hangover! @mogwai.scot #brainiacfromdayton

Clem Burke during and after. I shot these at the El Mocambo, in 1978, for Blondie’s Plastic Letters tour. Thank you, Clem ❤️ @officialblondiefan.bsky.social #clemburke

The debut of Non-Op! Spectacular first outing. Congrats Stevie and Dex! #nonop

I guess this means I can only buy Stanfield’s underwear now : (

Shows shows show! Basic at Sound Garage, Beak> at the Great Hall ❤️🩵 @beakbristol.bsky.social #thisisbasic

I love how many lingering shots of shit-smeared Gretzky there are in this news piece ❤️ #fuckgretzky youtu.be/Ji1rxDzElhc?...

With apologies to KrazyKat.

Progress report! #rush

From a session I did with The Sadies in the summer of 2016. So many of these have never been seen. I feel so fortunate to have so many pics of Dallas with the band. @thesadiesofficial #thesadies

Trump's evil reign of white supremacy.

From the first moment I saw the New York Dolls perform Trash on the Midnight Special, 1973, I was forever changed. I shot these at the El Mo for Johansen’s 1978 debut. May the cosmos absorb and continue to reflect your greatness, David Johansen. With eternal gratitude. #newyorkdolls #davidjohansen

Rush art progress report #rush #flybynight

The Virgin Marty wishes you a belated Happy Valentine’s Day when you vote today. #ontario #dumpford

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

The Planets at RTH

BREAKING: The Monitors were just hacked at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to display an AI video of Trump licking Elon Musk’s toes. The caption over it read: “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”

I so want to take this amazing Rush art but I also want to see how it looks after it rains. #flybynight #rush #pedroinfante

Which one is the gateway drug? Here’s Ontario now that corner stores sell booze.

Are there any good Made in Canada by a Canadian company veggie sausage/dogs? Yves are so dismal. #veggiesausage

Jesus Christ, you mean to tell me that the Super Bowl hasn’t even happened yet?

I recently bought an incredible original Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet 1990 tour poster from @thedonpyle.bsky.social and my finger is itching seeing all of these incredible Kids in the Hall stage blueprints he's currently selling. donpyle.bigcartel.com

Recent Neko Case press had me thinking about the masterpiece she wrote with The Sadies. And then I thought how cool it must be to have Marianne Faithfull cover your song! Today, I’m sad to see that Marianne is gone. #nekocase #thesadies youtu.be/O5MbW5guq8U?...

Today in @slate.bsky.social, I wrote about Neko Case's extraordinary new memoir, and among much else, how it reveals the animal figures in her songs as avatars of flight from and vengeance for the dehumanizing injuries of class in America. (With an accompanying playlist!) slate.com/culture/2025...

Surprise! The guy who had Cher, Grace Jones, Little Richard, Joan Rivers, Dinah Shore, kd lang and shirtless oiled construction workers building a room made of fruitcake on his Xmas special came out as gay! #peeweeherman #paulreubens

I am thrilled to share that I have just signed a contract with ECW Press for a new book. @ecwpress published my first, Trouble In The Camera Club, and I look forward to tumbling with them again for my third book. Thanks to @torontoartscouncil and @ontarioartscouncil for support!
