is there anything in the Epstein files about how Big Algorithm needs to force a new band in costumes into our lives every six months?

I don't know that I have many Ithaca followers here but in the event that I do, a reminder that our garage art/performance space Neighbors Gallery is hosting Bhob Rainey and Lucky Crumbs this Sunday evening and I'm excited to hear the music and to give our new PA system a whirl!

Rest In Power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMfG...

on the air tonight 9-11pm EST, www.wrfi.org

just took kid to see a $8 screening of Sing (2016) to get out of the house for a while and was very surprised to hear a few seconds of Shooby Taylor during the audtion scene.

I am very pleased to welcome old friend and amazing musician Bhob Rainey to Ithaca in a couple weeks on March 1st

what trans merit badge do I get for an old lady pointing at my belly and saying “is someone in there 🤭”

I was made aware of this today by listening to David Grubbs on @foxydigitalis.bsky.social podcast and it is every bit as delightful as was promised by David calling it the best song ever written. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfWC...

rather than "a lot" you could rightly say "nearly all"

Only a true visionary could see the full potential of the helicopter.

if i've learned anything from the new Hen Ogledd songs it's that I simply want a Scottish woman to say things to me.

Pre-show photo in Chatham tonight with Tristan. Recording this soon for LP2.

nothing says lazy day comfort like confronting every trauma, anxiety, and fear you've ever had in a single show about a talking horse.

an album important to me when I was 19. also in my humble (and useless) opinion, the last innovation in "indie rock" before everything fell apart.

Tuesday night in Chatham as part of PS21's The Dark festival, Tristan Kasten-Krause and I perform an expanded "Prisoner's Cinema" for double bass, gongs, singing bowls, and bass drum lit by a single candle. ps21chatham.org/event/sarah-...

I watched most of this live video late last night in which Lomes Oleander calls the trans extermination political effort, "the most funded and intricate web of propaganda and population control in human history" and she's not wrong and I just felt like pointing that out. youtu.be/ihiyweagpQM?...

Certainly not a unique take, but seeing Harold & Maude for the first time at age 16 was a very meaningful thing for my sad lonely freak teenager self and I am sad to hear that Bud Cort has passed on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYMQ...

when the festival asks for a stage diagram

did anyone ever get to the bottom of the whole Andrew WK thing?

on the air tonight 9-11pm EST at wrfi.org and since there’s nothing else going on tonight i’m your best bet for a good time

true story: the dog seen here as a puppy on the left and last week on the right, was slated to be on the 2018 puppy bowl but the rescue group we got her from forgot to file some paperwork and it never happened. a condition of the adoption was that we let them take her back for the puppy bowl.

I anxiously await the arrival of volume 2. These Cergio Prudencio anthologies are incredible.

insane shipment from distant Louisville past from @pandrewwillis.bsky.social plus a one-time holy grail I never thought I’d hear from Austin from Barry Stone (four songs from short lived Desafinado).

Found this great video of excerpts of the West Coast premiere of @sarahhennies.bsky.social's "Motor Tapes" (2023) from November 2024 in LA by the ECHOI Ensemble. Sarah will be premiering a new piece, in addition to performing, in two #Louisville concerts this March! youtu.be/Itm-yCS3GL8

very excited about class today in which we will listen to Celine Dion, Elliott Smith, Bev Casanova, Artur Zmijewski, and Y. Bhekhirst.

so glad in this new OS update that apple could conveniently put "erase disk" in an easy to find location right under "eject" for the hard drive with my entire life on it. great design, guys.

On Thursday March 5th [Switch~] Ensemble will perform the world premiere of @sarahhennies.bsky.social's piece "Blindsight" at the University of Louisville. We will share more details as soon as they are available! www.sarah-hennies.com/events/2026/...

It’s been a loooooong time, and km very happy to return to my hometown soon.

sat down at my desk to do class prep and ended up creating a 3 and a half hour playlist of "outsider" music.

Good night my queen. youtu.be/fggXs7oIP7Q?...

maybe appeals to almost no one in my feed except @totalvibration.bsky.social but I just discovered w8ing4ufos (members of Smoke) released a new album last month! w8ing4ufos.bandcamp.com/album/americ...

I, for one, very badly want to see how it goes for the government if upon re-entering the country they detain *checks notes* Bruce Springsteen.

I am very proud to say I have joined the Frog Peak family of composers and all of my scores are gradually becoming available both in print and digitally very soon.

I’m optimistic about subv*rt.fm but I would feel better if all their PR didn’t feel like they were rolling out a new iPhone

my interview with Kate Molleson where I talk about three tracks I love is archived here: radiohoerer.info/new-music-sh... Jean-Claude Eloy, Richard Dawson, @marjaahti.bsky.social

I'm braving the 3 mile drive to the station in a foot of snow; on the air tonight 9-11pm eastern time, www.wrfi.org

new piece for andPlay (Maya Bennardo/Hannah Levinson) finished. premiering at Hamilton College April 2nd. Fuck ICE.

One of the all time great performances.

we keep asking my mother in law to stop letting kid (6.5 years old) watch YouTube and today kid ended a conversation with “smash that subscribe button if you like what I’m doin’!”

I just got this fascinating CD of music by Walter De Maria and what should I find as one of the Google results but a review by one other than @theothersideoflife.bsky.social the-other-side-of-life.com/2005/12/12/w...

Someone once chose not to fund the creation of my film about trans women because “we don’t understand how this artist purports to be connected to the community they are trying to represent”

OK GO band meeting. manager: ok guys, new album. new PR cycle. what should we do? all the OK GOs together: FUNNY VIDEOOOOOOO!

he got full rights to the Mr. Banana Grabber likeness and royalties

Quick trip over to Bard today to rehearse for gig + what will become Sarah/Tristan LP2

prepping to teach my "queer sound" class for the first time in five years (and only 2nd time ever) and delighted to rediscover the totally insane first day playlist

always a mix of feelings in a small town when a dormant venue comes back online that is also a totally miserable shithole
