I kinda want to get one of those tambourines that attaches to your hihat stand and makes stuff sound all jingly-jangly

Serpent Man Demon! Got our dragon set up, and caught a picture this morning of Samson watching as it inflates

Finally getting around to checking out one of her non-brat. albums and can’t help but feel like Charli XCX’s makeup here makes her look a little like Amy Winehouse

(some ppl don’t what you to know this, but you don’t have to stop at inserting your cat’s name into existing songs, but you can write and record a whole song about them and make a video for it, and no one can stop you) also, when I finished recording the vocals for the chorus, I came downstairs and

In a world where everything feels kinda fucked, it’s amazing how much joy taking a few minutes to play with a cute little kitty can bring Esp when they’re the type of silly goober who likes to ‘hide’ in a tube and hungry-hungry-hippo at the toys you slide across the floor

YouTube is weird. Last night I uploaded a video for a song I recorded and this morning I go to take a screen recording to put on my IG story and see that it somehow has 97 views (for context, only one other video I’ve uploaded on the past 7 months has more than 30 views, so no idea how that…

I think one pretty clear indicator of it really being fall is coming downstairs in the morning and needing to put on socks to keep my feet warm

Brain Washing Machine Wrote this one sometime around 2005 - 2010 (I originally typed 15-20yrs ago, but that made me feel way too old) and decided to do a quick recording all done in about 90 minutes; I’d tried recording it a few years ago but just wasn’t happy with how it turned out. It felt kind

I get incredibly nervous anytime I see his name in a headline, so can we all just agree that any article about Paul McCartney should start with the words “Living legend” until that’s no longer applicable?

Update: these cheeses are delicious and my wife is tempted to order more bcuz they have a 20% off deal, but we’re still working thru what we have I got some salami slices and as I’m biting into some cheddar & salami on a cracker had a very distinct feeling like I was eating a lunchable

Was totally expecting a big drum fill and full band coming in around 1:12 and now desperately want Gaga to do a full-on rock album

Took the kayak out for a bit

Happy 30th anniversary to the end of the longest gap in Wolfman’s Brother’s history! Weird seeing as it’s such a staple in Phish setlists - and kinda has been aside from this one long gap - that they played this pretty frequently on the spring/summer tours after debuting, then completely dropped

Gettin my yeehaw on at Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country

Sonic Youth & band members seem to be teasing something Washing Machine related for 2026 (weird that it’d be next year, considering today is the album’s 30th anniversary) Predicting a deluxe reissue with this show finally getting an official release (2026 will be this show’s 30th anny at least)

Studio version of Islands of Men is heavenly #geeseband #gettingkilled

I’ve yet to listen to a moe. show from 2001 that didn’t, at least in the moment, make me think this is the greatest band on the planet

The rainy stuck inside weather certainly makes today an interesting choice for my once every several months having some coffee I was super motivated to sand and paint the part of the wall I’m fixing, but now that I’m waiting for the first coat to dry and I’m all wired and unfocused

Fixing where the drywall in our kitchen was tearing (thank you DIY Youtube channels!) and accepting that my inability to match paint colors means that the kitchen will be a slightly lighter shade of off-white when we repaint this winter

Beach day!

If the term “canon of blood and space jizz” confuses you, then I don’t think you belong in the conversation about who GWAR is or isn’t beheading during their shows

Omw back from grocery store, not many cars out. I’m coming up on an intersection and the car in front of me busts a sweet left on red and… I’m sorta torn between “you’re what’s wrong w the world today” and “eh, I kinda feel ya” Like there was no one else around at all and I ain’t a cop, but still..

Got a delivery that included some catnip toys and dude is living life to the fullest, just 100% fishing out in the box it came in

Mount Holyoke State Park, dinner in Northampton, and the haul from Yankee Candle

“I am every one and every zero” Always love that one of my favorite King Gizzard lyrics isn’t even sung by anyone in the band. It’s like the perfect pun; you’re 1000% expecting it to be “I am every one and everything thing,” but get this almost non-sequitur, which in the context of being…

Sleeping Giant State Park

Good morning Marigold

Feeling pretty confident in my logic that “Sorry if you don’t” heavily implies - if not outright confirms - that The Disco Biscuits ~Absolutely Fucking Do~

My wife got us like $80 worth of fancy dairy-free cheeses and spreads and stocked up on a bunch of gluten-free crackers and such 😀❤️ And seeing as we’re starting our end-of-summer vacation when we log off work today, I’m pretty tempted to have one of those single-serving wines we use for cooking

Trans Rights are Human Rights

Finally got around to naming/uploading this one Originally had a keyboard part doubling the guitar for most of the song but decided to take that out and let the instrumentation just be bass/guitar/drum machine/vocals

We are so fucked….

Woke up this morning to find out that Dopapod put out sbd recording of their 2012 Wormtown set - the first time my wife and I saw them! This was our first year at Wormtown and during the day we were near the portapotties and this guy comes up to us pointing to some of the flyers taped to the

Took out the tomatoes, basil, and lettuce today. Once we repot the rosemary to bring inside (always love having some fresh rosemary for Thanksgiving/Xmas cooking) all that’ll be left are the marigolds and wildflowers and then just waiting until garlic planting season in a couple months

Haven’t tried getting high demand tix in a while, so when my wife was 836 in the queue we assumed we were gona be seeing Gaga in March, but by the time we got in everything it looked like everything was ppl reselling from the presales last week or otherwise ridiculous prices

Had a great time at Wormtown and can’t wait to come back next year!

Man, fuck this answering client emails bullshit. I just wanna eat some mushrooms and roll around in the grass like a dog

In love with the way my wildflowers are looking right now Was planning to use the full bed for garlic planting in Nov, but considering leaving these in or leaving some space to plant more early in the season next year

Making our last batch of tomato sauce for the season before pulling the tomato plants I know most folks get bittersweet about the end of growing season, but once the veggies start slowing down I kinda look forward to clearing the beds Sometimes change excites me

A few years ago my wife and I realized that we’re opposites in whether we keep our eyes open or closed while at the dentist So now in addition to not liking dental appointments, I’m also incredibly anxious about whether me staring at the ceiling the whole time makes the hygienist uncomfortable

Got our single day tix for Wormtown and am getting very excited to start planning. We’ve got a nice little cart we’re gona put some bubble machines on, and I’m gona end up planning like a million outfits cuz I’m gona be out all day in September in New England!

Been digging into the old archival shows that Dopapod has been putting out since their last show, and have been absolutely in love with this song lately Maybe cuz of the smaller catalogue and them playing it so often they just really had it down, but been appreciating Flipped in a new way

Final tomato harvest of the season Gona have some nice pasta sauce from this, then time to clear out the bed and start planning for next year

Bluetooth speaker in the shower is definitely what’s up

Having one of those mornings where I’m tempted to treat myself and make a pot of coffee, but also remembering how much that fucks up my stomach every time now that I don’t drink coffee anymore Ain’t gonna trick myself this time

I have an extra chair set up at my work desk for my cat to sit/snooze on next to me, and sometimes he’ll give my arm the most polite little tap as if to say “Excuse me, I’m not the best at reading clocks, but I believe it’s time to fill my dish” and suddenly my heart is filled with immense joy

Really love the new plant stand we got for the living room and the lights on it brighten up the space where it is, but they also make the opposite corner look dim in comparison, even tho there’s now a larger amount of lights in the room

I get to see moe. play tonight and it’s both free and likely the closest to my house that I’ll ever see them play!

I get that it’s very much the within style they took inspiration from for it, but I just love how much of the bass line to Head On/Pill is just staying on one note with an occasional fill here and there

I should really be more awake than this at 8:30 but just caught myself watering a stake in the garden rather than the tomato plant that it’s holding up
