Somebody tell @themountaingoats.bsky.social that @gregorythornbury.bsky.social brought up Wolf In White Van in our interview about Larry Norman. please. pod.link/1703257857/e...

I finally figured out the reference! “I am Belarion, the Antichrist.” He’s quoting Jack Parsons, disciple of Aleister Crowley. 💥

One of the things I love about working The World Trade Center is seeing families from everywhere, Moms & Dads, often with their teenage kids. Dads are trying to act like “I’ve got this.” The teens are trying to look cool in their ‘fits for NYC. & Moms actually being cool.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is. Like just when I worry things can’t get stupider, life finds a way.

Nerd alert 🚨 I decided to start watching baseball again this year after a couple of decades of just spending my free time working on my rockabilly guitar licks! @MLB watching the All-Star game tonight. I’m struck by how welcoming it is to fans both old and new. TYSM! ⚾️🏟️

I taught my students about the *post box ergo propter hoc* fallacy. But is it okay if I indulge in it for one day with JD Vance and the Pope?

Dear men of NYC: I am mortified for those of you who take your phone into the restroom, and conduct business there. Please. Stop it. You’re not losing that much time by leaving it on your desk. It’s not like you’re at a Rush concert, and the line is long for the men’s.

Just texted a friend, unironically, “Where do we go now?” And now I, a child of the glorious 80’s will have Axel Rose haunt my dreams tonight.

I wonder if Clyde Peeling by celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. IYKYK.

RIP David Johansen. In January 2020, his wife Mara texted me to show up dressed to the nines at the Carlyle Club that night. Taking my seat, someone slid into the booth next to me. “Hi, I’m Marty.” Scorsese was making a doc on our hero. youtu.be/dgWYgA5zzjM?...

Artists. How are you staying sane right now? Comments below ⬇️

We love you, Jimmy. 💔

Merry Christmas!

Huzzah! Three cheers — give this a spin! ⚡️

The plot of Frosty the Snowman was copy/pasted by the play/film *Doubt* Discuss.

It’s that time of year to remind y’all of my all time favorite Christmas record. What’s yours? music.apple.com/us/album/eve...

Thanks to all of you heroes who’ve been streaming Kate Thornbury’s new record, Two Glasses. These are pretty great numbers just one month in for a new(ish) Indie artist

This just in. Stocking stuffer idea from the inimitable Charles Marsh.

I am proud to report that Bernard has passed certifications to serve as a Lacanian psychoanalysts. Appointments available for qualified analysands.

I learned the Gospels w/ Gerald Borchert at Southern Seminary (before the war). I went to Israel with him for the first time in 1994. Palestine + Israel = Messiah. His lectures on the Gospel of John helped me understand a Yeshua for everyone. This. I want to go back to there. a.co/d/fx71IH3

Sigh. We were here first, but with theology.

I have massive sudden hearing loss in my right ear (cf. Paul Simon). & yes. I’ve been diagnosed with Havana Syndrome. My otologist said listen to *brown noise* for relief. Tonite, I said, “Alexa, play brown noise.” She whispered in my bad ear… “Do you want to try brown noise premium?” 💔🙃🫨🤔😬

This is what’s up. Metaphors be with you. music.apple.com/us/album/dad...

Watched the first 2 epis of Martin Scorcese’s new series THE SAINTS. 1. Grateful he took up the cause-his personal narration is 💯. 2. It’s incredibly produced. 3. I realize it’s is devotional, but it’s devoid of of historical-critical analysis. Paul Elie, Mary Carr, & Fr. James Martin need help!

“We are now mainly engaged as spectators in watching a 500-year-old educational-cultural achievement go down the drain. Somebody pulled the plug. A way of life based on the primacy of the printed word is dissolving in front of us.” Marshall McLuhan 1958 *McLuhan Institute not on Blue Sky yet*

14 years ago, I sat at famed Beat haunt Vesuvio Cafe with my friend @gregorythornbury.bsky.social a few minutes after we’d left @citylightsbooks.bsky.social and a few days after we’d seen Over the Rhine at the Great American Music Hall We were conferencing together. And celebrating his birthday.

It’s my birthday! “I am immensely fond of you all, and that eleventy-one years is too short a time to live among such excellent & admirable hobbits. I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; & I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.” Scorpio vibes for sure!

Thought I’d make my first Tweet here my college yearbook photo as the director of WVMM 90.7 FM Christian Rock Radio. Pictured here — me comparing and contrasting Kant &, um, Bible.

💓💔💓

My “Two Glasses” challenge: Listen to the whole EP without letting yourself know what the closing track is. Let it break your heart in the best possible way. Now.

Thought that my first real post on @bsky.app should be for Kate Thornbury’s therapy healing session. Amiright @daviddark.bsky.social? open.spotify.com/album/1RJ4oy...
