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?

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 🖤🖤🖤

8 months of work, 7 hours of interviews, 30 pages in the google doc, 17k words, and 4 very long days of editing later… my story on the first ramones album, which turns 50 this month. www.pastemagazine.com/music/ramone...

Leaving for this tour next week!?! Come out. Get tickets. www.gladie.net/shows

extremely amped to open this May 5th show with @gladiephilly.bsky.social and noun!! come thru, and grab yr tickets ahead of time ! tinyurl.com/2w23jy9x

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?

TONIGHT: @gladiephilly.bsky.social w/ King Blue Heron at Bottlerocket!! TICKETS: app.opendate.io/e/gladie-apr... LISTEN: gladie.bandcamp.com kingblueheron.bandcamp.com @getbetterrecords.bsky.social

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

Stupid brain, stupid brain, stupid brain. 🙃

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...

For week 13/2026 my #sotw is „I Will If You Will“ from what I suppose will be my #aoty, @gladiephilly.bsky.social‘s killer new record „No Need To Be Lonely“ 🎧👇🏼 open.spotify.com/track/03BqK5...

Here’s what I was listening to in the van today: Poison girlfriend - melting moment Starflyer 59 - the fashion Dear Nora - mountain rock ALVILDA - C'est Déjà L'heure sufjan stevens - javelin The microphones - the glow part 2 Twisted teens - blame the clown The feelies - the good earth

I love @margaret.bsky.social 🖤

Why is it I only feel superstitious about stuff when packing for a tour?

Really loving this new morgan nagler record. DAMN.

Rightly, no one cares about my music takes, but I wanted to say a nice thing about @gladiephilly.bsky.social and the new album No Need to be Lonely. Because it does one of the half dozen things I value most about music, and because Augusta Koch knows what she's doing www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3PH...

Thanks @ourculture.bsky.social for listening to me & @jeffrosenstock.bsky.social ramble on 😎

Very grateful for the people who took the time to listen and write about this record. I know music journalism is going about as good as the music industry which ehhhh… not great lol I deeply appreciate it. www.pastemagazine.com/music/gladie...

Borders also keep you in. I'm sorry you had to learn this way.

Best review 💖

Thanks so much to everyone who listened and shared about our record today. We had our last practice before tour and I had gotten to hours of sleep. It was so fun I love my band. Then I fell asleep with a cheesesteak. Music rules. I'll say it till the day I die. If ya wanna make it just do it.

Lars rules!!! Thanks bud 🖤🖤🖤
