When our house was being built a few years ago the process was so awful that by the time it was done we truly would have settled for any damn thing. This is not a post about building a house.

I'm thrilled to be opening for one of my favorite songwriters, Caroline Spence, next Thursday March 19 at Eddie's Attic in Decatur GA. Andrew Vickery will be joining me on pedal steel and other goodies. I hope to see some ATL friends there! Tickets and info from the Eddie's site at eddiesattic.com

Everyone take a breath and think about your favorite art of the moment, be it a song, movie, book, painting, whatever. Then tell me what it is.

I keep starting and deleting a post about men with too much power. I think I delete it because it just seems so insignificant for something so big. So here's this instead.

Unexpected theme emerging from the upcoming episodes of Dive Bar Music Club: we like new rock music from Philadelphia. Subscribe now. All the links at DiveBarMusicClub.com/listen Debuts 20 Jan 2026.

Well, I guess you can go ahead and consider me a Dave Matthews fan.

Jesus this is good.

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

Hannity has a Fox reporter in Minneapolis talk to a random protester walking through the city who goes on to spit bars for 2 minutes

Very excited to be a "regular" at Dive Bar Music Club! There's so much great music out there, and I can't wait to learn about what the other regulars are into. divebarmusicclub.com

I just backed A New Wes Collins Album! on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/wes... (It's true! Wes is good people. And a really talented songwriter, too.)

Working on weaning myself off my smartphone. I spend way too much time scrolling aimlessly. Step 1 was my analog watch. I love it, I'm so nostalgic for Swatch and I don't think I had worn a watch in 15 years or more. Step 2 was leaving my phone in another room when I go to bed.

Trying to remember to use this thing more than the Meta things but old habits. It's Neil Young's 80th birthday! Here's a cover of a beautiful song that he wrote. thegoodgraces.bandcamp.com/track/borrow...

Spent the last few days in Gainesville FL for FEST. Saw some amazing bands and comedians! A few of my favorites (most whom I saw for the first time) - Michael Cera Palin, Tiny Stills, Descartes a Kant, Good Luck, John F. O'Donnell, Chris Gethard, David Dondero. Already looking forward to next year!

Tonight's visitor.

Here's what I heard on 'Grand Epiphanies,' the new release from @kimware.bsky.social and the Good Graces.

Released new tunes today. Worked. Paddle boarded. Ate dinner. Watched TV. Kicked ass at Skip-Bo. Didn't get raptured.

A new YTAA coming your way with new music from @kimware.bsky.social

Trying to stop doomscrolling. Which is likely going to mean a break from socials altogether. But here's a picture of a heron I spotted while paddle boarding the other day. I felt lucky, just seeing him. Like I caught a fleeting feeling. What you got that's good?

I love seeing the cover of my new EP posted by someone other than me :)

Most every morning, I wake up with a song in my head. Been keeping track of all of them in a playlist. Not sure what caused this one to enter my brain suddenly, but this morning it was "You're So Vain." Playlist is here; I'm up to 145 songs! open.spotify.com/playlist/0HC...

Is this place still cool? I need to replace my Threads habit. I just had an amazing iced coffee from my front porch. What's good in your world?

Serious question. Is "Christianity" just a way to do awful things and then absolve yourself of any accountability because you prayed about it and it's God's will?

I forget about this app (again) and then come back to this nice little blurb about a tune I released a few months ago. It's a teaser for my new EP, out September 23 on Fort Lowell Records. It's a little sad and reflective (I think) of that feeling of moving on but still looking back with regret.

I can't remember to use this app. I want to because it's the little guy. So tired of the big guys. But old habits. So here's a picture of Bob and Soks. They sat by the door like this for a good 20 minutes. Without Soks hissing. This is progress. It gives me hope.

Weird. I haven't heard about anything stupid that he's done today. Has he slept all day or I just haven't heard it? (I don't really want to know what it is, if he did do something new. It's been nice actually. Just different.)

Cory Booker! He's on hour 17. This has been pretty amazing (and at times pretty funny). www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

I had been slipping, pretty dang proud of this (especially for a Monday morning!) 💪

You should listen to this. #divorce

It's not too late to grab something I made on this Bandcamp Friday! I'm shopping for vinyl there now so feel free to post your recs here. thegoodgraces.bandcamp.com

❗️When America has your back: The Economist on the background of recent events

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

DJT and his lap dog JD are the enemies of democracy and friends of totalitarians- which is what they aim to be themselves. They are a disgrace to the people of the United States. Their treatment of Pres. Zelensky today was not representative of the sentiments of the majority of the American public.

How are you spending #economicblackout day? I'm: 1. Helping others, specifically my clients (I work in clinical mental health for a small non-profit) 2. Playing music 3. Reading 4. Avoiding the Meta platform 5. NOT spending money. (Awesome graphic by @martharichart.bsky.social)

One of my favorites of all the #indieartist renderings I've seen supporting Friday's boycott. We can make a difference!

The world is upside down.

We will be sharing more vaccine info in the coming days. It is a good time to make sure you and your kids are up to date on vaccines. If you need to catch up, catch up.

July 1, 1946 CDC was created, in the heart of the south, to combat malaria in the US. That year there were ~48,610 US malaria cases. With the help of WHO and others, CDC established case reporting, investigation, and preventative measures. By 1957, endemic malaria had been eradicated in the US.

Yes we still have our tree up. (We keep it up until Valentine's Day because it's pink and makes us happy.) I love this picture of Bobby Bear looking at it.

Now with trippy flyer action!

Tomorrow night!

I will not argue about politics on Facebook. I will not argue about politics on Facebook. I will not argue about politics on Facebook. I will not argue about politics on Facebook. I will not argue about politics on Facebook. I will not argue about politics on Facebook.
