The X-Files kicks so much ass because for a couple episodes you’ll get the best “The Government is Covering Up Aliens” plot line and then the next episode will be about some hip vampire sex cult or a killer half fish man or something. Perfect show.

Anybody wanna take us, uhhh, on tour?

Maybe LinkedIn is the best social media platform after all?

It’s my birthday. Here’s a photo of me eating a Porchetta sandwich in Rome.

I’m so much more sus of ultra masc bro-types after watching those Elephant Graveyard docs

No shows booked for the next couple’o months. I guess we’ll learn this new record I keep yammering about?

Yo. Playin’ solo at Century Bar in South Philly tonight. Come hang.

Buy and make your own physical media. The internet won’t always keep the score. Clutter your home with cool shit.

Might fuck around and Try to keep compassion in The arsenal, dude

It may not seem it, but Labrador is a Mod band.

Just wanna give a late night shout out to @rosyoverdrive.com. One of the best music blogs going.

‘My Version of Desire’ by @labrador-tunes.bsky.social ‘Pleaser’ by @prettybittermp3.bsky.social ‘Instant Holograms On Metal Film’ by @stereolabgroop.bsky.social labradortunes.bandcamp.com/album/my-ver... prettybitter.bandcamp.com/album/pleaser stereolab.bandcamp.com/album/instan...

Reminder: Fuck Joe Rogan, Andrew Shulz, Tony Hinchcliffe, Theo Von and the rest of the brogan sphere that complained about cancel culture when it didn’t exist for them.

If you're in Philly and want to see me play some brand new songs about collective power and fighting fascism, I'll be playing with @thecheapdates.bsky.social + Grace Vunderkuhn + Nathan Xander at Century Bar tomorrow night.

If you need some faith in humanity, I strongly suggest taking a walk (preferably with your doggo) while listening to the new Jens Lekman. jenslekman.bandcamp.com/album/songs-...

Thinking of the song “Jarama Valley” by Woody Guthrie. It’s about the Spanish Civil War. He wrote: “You will never find peace with these fascists You'll never find friends such as we” Used to be an American ideal. Maybe it never was.

The title track from 'My Version Of Desire' I wanted to make a gospel song against repression that took soul, reggae, and country and melded it into something that felt of its own. It's also the second part to a song suite with and has a metal intro. labradortunes.bandcamp.com/track/my-ver...

If I had a moonshot ask for my funeral, I'd have Chan Marshall sing Treatment Bound by the replacements and then have my limp corpse puppetted down the aisle Weekend at Bernie's Style and dropped into my casket. Once I wave to all my loved ones, casket slam, "Cowboy Song" by Thin Lizzy would play.

If there were justice in the world, Tenement would be massive and packed venues around the globe would be singing the words to “DULL JOY” at full volume. m.youtube.com/watch?v=fdl7...

My birthday is next week and I’m gonna try to run/walk 20k steps every day for my 39th year. To keep myself accountable, I’m gonna listen to a ton of records on walks and watch movies on the treadmill. Gonna get my last steps in tonight to this lost Austin psych record I’ve never listened to.

Playing solo at Century bar this Friday with @thecheapdates.bsky.social + Nathan Xander + Grace Vunderkuhn. Here’s a close up of me playing my Les Paul. I like Les Pauls.

This guy is the coolest.

Sure, I like emo. If @superchunk.bsky.social’s 1994 album FOOLISH is considered emo.

In the meantime, I’m going this weeks mail order packaging. There’s a load of stuff over on @bandcamp.com that’s shipping NOW. Over and out. Jim

Tom Waits rears his head every few years for me and puts me in a choke hold.

What’s up? How about a lil’ sneak peek of a new Labrador tune? 👀 🎥: @perennialtheband.bsky.social

I won't try to paint with a broad stroke here, but I don't think it's worth trusting music journalists who don't take chances on small/unsigned artists 🤷

If you ever come to see us live and see something you want at our merch table but don’t have enough money, just know everything we are selling is negotiable and I am more than happy to shave a few bucks off to get a record/shirt in your hands. Times are tough and we see you✊🏻

If you’re looking for a great book to read about what it means to walk the right path, I suggest reading Joe Klein’s tremendous Woody Guthrie: A Life. It moved me so much I got Woody’s portrait tattooed on my arm as a constant inspiration/reminder.

@superchunk.bsky.social remain the best.

it’s a beautiful day to shut the fuck up

Most of my social life these days revolves around our neighborhood dog park and asking “who’s this??” to a cute doggie while not looking it’s owner in the eyes.

This is the coolest I’ve ever looked putting a capo on a guitar. Thanks to Cory Sharber for the snap.

Ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

These hunks of wood and boxes of circuits delivered over the weekend lemmetellyou.

This is what we mean when we say “Maximum Alt-Country” Labrador live at Purgatory 9.6.25 📽️: @thebandreds.bsky.social

This is the best documentary of the year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewvR...

I’ve been living in Philly since 2021. As a New Yorker, I never thought I’d like Tomato Pie. Now I crave it like lonely astronaut craves to run through an open field of fresh alfalfa with his family, to grow old in the home he built with his bare hands, to pass down lessons he learned from his fath

If you’re not listening to Dean Johnson, you’re missing out on one of the greats.

Would anyone be interested in hearing a VERY blown-out recording of our set at Purgatory from Saturday?

Mike Leigh’s newest film HARD TRUTHS is on Paramount+ now. Just incase you need those awkward guttural laughs only he can induce.

The secret to succeeding in the arts outside of having boat loads of generational wealth/connects or a generational talent is working hard and being shameless (annoying) about promoting your project. Btw, have you heard our album My Version of Desire? labradortunes.bandcamp.com/album/my-ver...

I go back to Brooklyn for one night and this is a screenshot of my home screen today:

It’s true. We love to play.

Our Brooklyn road trip soundtrack: John Andrews & The Yawns - Cookbook The Get Up Kids - The Guilt Show The Beastie Boys - Ill Communication Black Sabbath - Vol. 4 Wishy - Planet Popstar EP Crumb - Locket EP Miracle Legion - The Backyard EP

Folks who book bands! Please book @labrador-tunes.bsky.social & @thebandreds.bsky.social They are everything you would want in a band: they work their asses off to promote; they show up on time; they play quick, efficient, brilliant sets. We book shows all the time, and they are our favorites.

Big thanks to everyone who came out to see us in Philly and Brooklyn. Of course huge thanks to all the bands: @nojoy.bsky.social, Flowers For The Dead, @perennialtheband.bsky.social and @thebandreds.bsky.social. We love y’all ❤️
