I wonder what AI models will learn from all of my music. I hope to teach them depression that will lead to their eventual end 🙂

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

Solo at the hurray for the riff raff show FEELING IT!

I’m really new to gardening but damn planting sunflowers in my backyard and watching them take off has been an awe inducing process. Our planet is so cool.

If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.

Our fourth album ‘The Rosy Red World’ is here. Listen wherever and however you’d like. Have a nice day. labradortunes.bandcamp.com/album/the-ro...

got annoyed with people calling AI a tool, so i wrote a little newsletter about hammers www.anxietyshark.ca/any-hammer-y...

Made a playlist for the amazing @father-daughter.bsky.social of the songs that soundtrack my life or at one point or another I said “damn this is my favorite song” (And yes I did basically look like bill gates until high school)

Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:

Go to the movies and see I Love Boosters immediately. Best movie I’ve seen in god knows how long.

A reminder: nothing good comes from the state mandating a fixed definition of sex/gender and policing people’s genitals.

I enjoy the tenderness, humor, and whimsy of John Prine so much. It feels so authentic. I wish there was more of that in this world.

Wow @stevenmps.bsky.social wrote this beautiful essay about my whole damn musical history it’s so nice and made me cry. heartbreakingbravery.com/2026/05/18/s...

Every music person should read this.

re: ai

I love how many times in my life I get to have new mountain goats days. Today is one and I am happy.

WINNER!!!!

“Nostalgia’s just fool’s gold…” The mighty @gladiephilly.bsky.social packed Deep Cuts on a Tuesday night. This band just keeps getting better.

PHILLY: Our record release show is this Saturday. You can win so much dumb shit 😈 for charity !!!

Really enjoy playing shows maybe more then ever lately? It’s nice to be able to enjoy it and feel the happiness while it’s actually happening.

Been listening to op ivy every morning this tour it’s been a great way to start the day.

Happy May Day! We are of a proud legacy. Every state in the world has tried to erase that legacy, but we are still here.

More people need to be talking about this new @gladiephilly.bsky.social album. It’s incredible. Definitely going to be one of the best releases of the year. Plus @jeffrosenstock.bsky.social produced it, which I just think is so cool. Lots of love for this band

this is on tuesday !! come thru, grab a ticket while ya still can !!

Does anyone on here have a job/ career they actually like? WHAT IS IT?

@gladiephilly.bsky.social - I've got two tickets to your Thurs empty bottle show and unfortunately I can't go. (Broke my knee, womp, womp.) Happy to give the tickets to anyone who can use them if you want to boost this!

Wrote this piece about @gladiephilly.bsky.social and their new album. It’s mostly about how they became my favorite band, why nostalgia is a scam and why you should listen to ‘No Need To Be Lonely’ ASAP. substack.com/@jmsdirt/not...

seriously you shouldn’t have missed this set @gladiephilly.bsky.social

@gladiephilly.bsky.social is so amazing rn

Why does my life revolve around pushing through crowds of drunk men?

One month of “no need to be lonely” thanks for listening 🖤🖤🖤

Yeah I think buying fans and creating whole internet discourses is bad but let’s not pretend anything about music is fair. I don’t really see much difference then big labels (even big indies) spending huge fucking amounts of money on PR and algorithmic Spotify plays?

Somedays really do make it feel worth it.

How much longer do we just scream into the void before we do something?

Hey uh maybe we shouldn't be rendered passive spectators as history flows around us Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I’m trying to get better at updating my substack. Does this read like a dairy entry? Sure does. Have I kinda lost my mind in the van? Absolutely. open.substack.com/pub/augustak...
