Sheesh. Our 45 RPM 12" single of "I Am One" up here sounds ridiculously good. I love the vinyl archives.

Once again, I have fumbled my way up into A Rundle in Learned League because I was needed to fill the required 26 player minimum, I guess, as I finished one spot outside of promotion last season. My sole goal this season is 'don't get relegated.'

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

There's new Tiger Bear Wolf music out today! It's such a good thing to be able to say.

One of our oldest, best small venues, The Flat Iron, is facing financial problems, like a lot of venues. Local people threw together a GoFundMe. 48 hours later, they've raised just at $40k. More than enough to lift them up, get some unexpected repairs done, and keep going. I love Greensboro.

My music brain tapped into the cosmos today. I was singing Lambchop's "Slipped, Dissolved and Loosed" to myself earlier this afternoon, and then just found out they have a new single out and a new album coming on my birthday. Serendipity.

I got to talk with one of my favorite songwriters of the last 30 years again over at Aquarium Drunkard.

The latest show is up on the playlists. Feel free to dive in and enjoy. Tidal link below, Qobuz link in bio, and read on for some song highlights and a couple unavailable on streaming. tidal.com/playlist/17c...

A new type of unsolicited promo email: I'm included in an email thread that looks like a back and forth between a musician and their mixer about final mixes.

Sugar was very good tonight. Just a pure 90-minute set with almost no breaks. If you get a chance to see them, go do it.

Listening to my son - who told me the other day he's "not really a music person" - sing @bodegabk.bsky.social's "Tarkovski" to himself in the shower right now. I'm a proud papa.

"Sparky's Dream" - Teenage Fanclub "Writing to Reach You" - Travis "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" - Public Enemy "Verlaine Shot Rimbaud" - Lydia Loveless "Fountain and Fairfax" - Afghan Whigs (cont.)

Just finished my first James Baldwin novel, GIOVANNI'S ROOM, and I'm a little blown away still. Was actually a little afraid of reading the last 30 pages or so. Had to steel myself for them.

I'm sure I'll get more donation texts tomorrow though to "take back the House."

Any Internet friends/acquaintances going to be at the Sugar show on Saturday in NYC?

Walking through Food Lion, I turned by an endcap and saw a cola-dark Fanta. This intrigued me, so I paused to see what it was, and it's 'Crimson Sour Cherry' flavored. Folks, I am here to say that it is incredible. This means it must be limited and will disappear before I can buy another one.

"Theme from Northern Exposure (Pet Shop Boys Extended Club Mix)"

Friend Gene speaks my mind.

Enjoying the Pope & George Fox lined up opposite J.D. Vance. Fox: "and we certainly know...that the Spirit of Christ, which leads us into all truth, will never move us to fight and war against any man with outward weapons, neither for the kingdom of Christ, nor for the kingdoms of this world."

This has kept happening since it happened to Linda Tirado, and it happened before that - police know they aren't supposed to aim them at people's heads and are doing it anyway despite that. End qualified immunity.

Friend speaks my mind from several years ago.

Finished LONESOME DOVE yesterday. I really liked it, though I have a lot of hesitations about it too. Going to be thinking through those for awhile. All said, a really engaging book especially once you reach part two.

I really dislike how even on very special day when families are together and trying to live and be happy this absolute goofball needs to be in the middle of it dancing around like an idiot like the Judge in Blood Meridian

Halfway through reading LONESOME DOVE, and I'm glad I've yet to see the miniseries so that I can imagine Gus sounds like Pat Buttram.

On the air here in a about ten minutes! I probably won't be live posting the setlist, so tune in. 90.9 FM or streaming www.wqfs.org

Filling in tonight at 8 PM EDT on WQFS for the excellent Shake and Pop show. Gonna do my best to do my own version of their power pop and soul revue. Tune in at 90.9 FM or streaming www.wqfs.org

All this effort to get people to be “creators” while robbing them of the depth of knowledge that would give them anything interesting to say.

Will be on @wqfs.bsky.social this Friday at 6 PM co-hosting the Friday Night Rock Party with @maddogonradio.bsky.social who will be calling in live from this year's South by Southwest! Always a fun time, so make sure you tune in.

Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists. STATEMENT: www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Holy mother of God.

The full 2005 interview it's from is well worth a read btw. Sadly just as relevant today as it was 20+ years ago—moreso, in fact. www.salon.com/2005/04/24/s... "There are many things I wish for my country . . . But if the USA attacked my country, no matter what, I would be against the US."

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Call your people, no matter what party.

This is war profiteering and I'm ashamed that so many people I know and like are apparently not ashamed to be in bed with these prediction markets.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Called and yelled at Virginia Foxx's answering machine. You should do the same for your pitiful excuse of a congressperson.

I work in a school every day. My country facilitated the bombing of a girls school in Iran, killing children. Why would the terrorizing of other humans ever make me feel safer?

Saw Hammer No More the Fingers at the Flat Iron tonight and it was just fantastic. My first time getting to see them after 15 years of listening to BLACK SHARK relentlessly.

Started reading LONESOME DOVE tonight and in the first forty pages I have both a) laughed out loud at something and b) read a paragraph multiple times to reveal in its poetic humanity. I feel like these are good signs.

Oh hey, this sounds familiar encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons? Wait. He didn't.

The other day I saw a video of an historian (maybe?) saying he didn’t understand why billionaires are opposed to being taxed more because “taxation is the compromise.” And that last ~500 years teaches us what happens when that compromise is not struck. Can’t stop thinking about it.
