In the waiting room of an ENT specialist to see if I need to have my nose broken again, and “What’s Up?” by 4 Non Blondes is on the radio. Sincere question: Does anyone like this song?

Ian Brown’s dancing in the “I Wanna Be Adored” video is a small delight

Playing some shows in Alberta next month. Here’s the first one.

Visited a Dolby Atmos studio last night. Pretty wild experience. Listened to lots of music I’d never heard before as well as some classics. Lots of discussion around composing for the medium. Did not realize basically all new headphones do a version of Atmos. Bjork sounded cool.

It’s been a year since our record came out — wild! We have a new Hayden Menzies designed shirt to commemorate the big day — grab it in a bundle here: darla.com/products/kes...

It’s beautiful.

People really disliked that first reunion record from the Pixies but the line “you are proselytizing alone” has been stuck in my head since it was released.

bigtakeover.com/recordings/k... It’s rare to receive and/or read such a thoughtful review. Close listening ally! Thank you @bigtakeover.com

Ended 2025 by returning the Beach Boys Funko Pops I preordered last January and then completely forgot about. Carrying that energy into 2026. 🧠

Fun weekend in Belfast with the Ash boys

The Dublin airport is in a town called Swords and that is tough as hell.

Rockegnized at the mall. #blessed

Here we go! My 30th favorite song of 2025 is “Lilys” by Kestrels. youtu.be/YVrPVG24VAg?...

Popping up on some cool year end lists. kestrels.bandcamp.com if you want to check out our 2025 record Better Wonder before the year ends.

All of the MBV footage has reopened the MBV part of my brain. Feels good!

#halifax show on November 8th. Tickets here: sidedooraccess.com/shows/7vXAcZ... Very #rare performance!

The new Tweedy song “Feel Free” is worth your time: “Think of your name on a marquee / Aim for something you can't see”

Jason Bateman and Noel Gallagher look more similar than you might think.

help I’m listening to Midwest emo

Based on my recent music obsessions, I am feeling some kinship with Goodman’s character on Community.

Sony recording artists Rage Against the Machine

18 pages deep into a forum argument about which pickups were used in a classic 90s record. #vacation

Rocking out in #Truro with @kestrels.bsky.social at #MarigoldCulturalCentre

Wouldn’t It Be Nice and God Only Knows on the same day. Wild. #petsounds #beachboys

We put out a record earlier this year. Here’s a brand new mini documentary about it: youtu.be/qiUdOugqHiE?...

Not big on eulogizing celebrities, but man, this is a tough one. RIP BDW.

Canadian tour dates coming this week 🫆

Playing two shows in New Brunswick — Saint John on May 23 at Haven Music Hall and Fredericton on May 24th as part of Flourish Fest. First time there in 9 years; wild. Looking forward to it!

Psyched for this oral history.

Kinda thrilled how much the kids love CDs.

Learning ABBA songs for our school musical. Very fun experience being part of a pit band with a bunch of high school students (who have to transcribe the music for me because I can’t read it!). Hot take but ABBA have a few big tracks

Tour was great, btw

Weird things bug me; Steve Malkmus playing bass without a pick is one of those things

Yes you should!

Great tour moment: at a USPS in Brooklyn and a woman filling out some paperwork started belting “Silver Springs” by Fleetwood Mac while I borrowed her pen.

On tour in the USA
