PS37, the popular event space in Durham's Central Park district, will close at the end of 2025. "We never really intended to be an event space, it just became that organically. It felt like we were figuring out how to fly the plane while it was in the air." www.wunc.org/wunc-music/2...

"Micky Dolenz Announces ’60 Years of The Monkees’ Celebration Tour." What to expect •Mickey wears a hat •Mickey leaves the stage and comes back out wearing a wool cap •The stage goes dark, the lights come back on and Mickey is in a wig on a small stage set that resembles a pop art Dorf skit.

TOM!

Zuma was released 50 years ago today.

Sickness kept me from seeing the Hypos at the Pinhook tonight. Speaking of the Pinhook, here's Personality Cult playing there in August.

Not judging any of you but, really, there's much more better things that sound like Geese than whatever Geese are trying to sound like.

While Quaranta was a good album, it seemed a little step down from some of the Danny Brown records that proceeded it. Though I've only been able to give the new one, Stardust, a quick listen today, it sounds at least a step back up. The dude does what he wants whether people "get it" on not.

I've listened to this New Eves record a bit over the past few months. I still haven't figured out if they're a cult, a coven or a convincing concept to make the listener wonder if they're either. Kleenex/LiLiPUT, the Raincoats and maybe that one Coco Rosie that was distro'd through SubPop?

So many late night poor decisions at gas stations and lunchbreaks in my car are credited to this man.

Not only one of the best albums of the 80s but also one of the greatest records ever.

The cat who thinks my lap is her own personal heated seat for entire Sundays does not seem very happy to learn that I'll be heading to Carrboro for bit this afternoon to see Verity Den play in a parking lot behind a record store.

This will be 3 months in a row where I've seen Verity Den play live. This will also be the first time EVER I've seen Verity Den play in sunlight.

Strawberry Switchblade's Jill Bryson & Stephen McRobbie of @thepastels.bsky.social. Taken by Peter McArthur, Jill's partner & prime photographer of the early 1980s Glasgow indie scene. They look bored as it's just Peter testing camera flashes. Outside Peter & Jill's flat, West End Park St, c.1982.

I was the director of college/community hybrid radio station for about a decade. At least once every October I'd have to tell one of our hosts that the Cranberries 'Zombie' was not a Halloween song.

If you live in the Triangle and either rely on SNAP for food or want to help those who do, here’s a (gift link) list of food banks you can visit or donate to. If you can afford it, money donations are much better. They can buy in bulk and get exactly what they need.

Going to see Deliver Me From Nowhere this afternoon. Many dudes on Reddit seem bummed that it isn't a jukebox musical or something. I mean, it's based around a book about the Nebraska era. Springsteen was not making the most jukebox musical type of songs in that period.

You know that asteroid was like "Hell yeah. 2nd moon, bitches!" up until some fun governor of space said "Nope. You're just a quasi moon."

Somewhere between a universe where robots mechanically malfunction then violently revolt against their human masters and a place where space alien discuss a love for 70s AM radio pop songs resides Johnny Skin.

🐂 Phenomenal turn out here in the Bull City

I wrote this, you should read it.

Greg Cartwright (Oblivians/Reigning Sound) newest band. At the Pinhook in Durham in November.

Thin Lizzy's Wild One bumpin' in the Wegmans right now. So far, I am the only one singing along while I shop.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

You can take a Lake Huron barn cat away from Detroit classic rock radio but you can't take a Detroit classic rock radio from a Lake Huron barn can. Sweet grail, Ripperpotamus.

It's persimmon season. They grow a lot of persimmons in North Carolina. Persimmons are weird. There's no talk of persimmons in the latest Radio Clang transmission. There is some NC reppin' from Verity Den and Little Chair though. Also music from Michael Beach, Comet Gain and more.

yes

All the health app goals of week are fulfilled. I am totally lazy Sunday mornin'ing it. The raspberry in this absolutely zings!

Suburban Commando. @blowdrierbettie.bsky.social never seen it. Oh, man. It's on! #tubiTVparty

Dishelved and charming. Disaffected and dorky. College rock radio circa '89 and the smells of record stores that have a record store smell.

Mushrooms on mushroom

If people have to choose between health insurance and rent and food, I expect health insurance to go to the bottom of the list for those who hope they are in good health Expect medical bankruptcies to SKYROCKET Only happens in the USA

What an incredible night of music. First, Verity Den with their luxe velvet and harsh gusts of sound.

Turning to address my haters

Monday. Sept. 29th. @gonerrecords.bsky.social record artist Michael Beach. Verity Den opening. The Pinhook in Durham, NC. A Clangoring presentation!

Dipping into House of Guinness

Overcast skies and no coffee made yet. The bed is still feeling quite cozy. Sunday morning. I think I stay under the blankets a little while longer.

One of my favorite things in the world is when Colin Newman sings "Chorus" right before the chorus starts on Map Ref 41 Degrees N 93 Degrees W.

I'm at the mall and the Archies "Sugar, Sugar" is playing but it sounds like it is taken from a 5th generation cassette dupe.

I dug the EP Durham, NC's Little Chair put out in 2024. I somehow missed that they put one out in 2025 until now. Jangle noise pop sweetness going on!
