Man, today is really going for it, news-wise.

Wait, so elephants is just wearing lifts?

Some personal news, as they say: My first book, CATCH THE DEVIL, comes out July 14! I’m hugely grateful to @nytimes.com for naming it as one of the books everyone will be talking about in 2026. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/b...

I’m playing a solo set next Tuesday 1/6 for the launch party of my friend’s new theater company. I’ll be one of several performers, and it will be a really fun night. Join us at Hyde Park Theatre from 7-10. See you there!

"Every Day, a Leaf Blower," a memoir of working from home.

A wonderful book to buy and enjoy!

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again? Never say never, but I could once pound 300 lbs. of dirt into an automobile tire with a sledgehammer.

Look how much fun they're having. youtu.be/nbBcXvKvB08?...

We were real lucky to have Steve Cropper. RIP.

Love how in Yellowjackets the coach has the same five o'clock shadow for like four months. I'm watching Yellowjackets.

Checking back in after a month. I wrote about 25,000 words. Y'all are nice, but I think I'm going to keep this fast going through December if I can. Y'all have fun.

My 90s band Enduro is opening for our friends The Crack Pipes for their 30th Anniversary show. And the incredible Grand Champeen is playing in the middle! Should be quite a rollick. See you at the Hole in the Wall Saturday, 11/22, at 9:00!

I’m going to take a social media break in November, so go ahead and soak up all this fabulous content while you still can.

Next Cheap Fix show is two weeks from tonight at Hotel Vegas for Death Party’s record release. Friday, 11/14. Doors at 8. Special appearances by Memphis’s River City Tanlines and a secret guest! Don’t miss it!

Happy Halloween to all!

I saw the movie, and it was a good movie.

I heard about a good taco.

Excited to catch this movie tonight that my friends made. Check it out if it comes near you. youtu.be/hQ_k9VdsqvE?...

It's nice out today.

I keep forgetting to take pictures of my sandwiches.

Does anyone remember this one? At the time, I thought it was a stylish and taut thriller. Might rewatch for Halloween week.

I just ate a candy bar, and now I feel terrible.

Does anyone remember Man Bites Dog? Not a horror movie per se but a very grim and funny film. Might make for good Halloween viewing.

I did the change-your-name-for-Halloween thing. Don't be scared, though. It's still me: Chad Nichols.

Check it out! Scott Gardner of KOOP Stronger than Dirt fame chose our single as the cover of the week!

I saw Pat and Michelle!

"Already" is a weird word. Why does it mean that?

When do you think they made elevator doors stop on contact instead of crushing you? I think it was a good innovation.

Do you like The Rolling Stones? My friend Angie does. Every year she has the Stones play her birthday party, and everyone’s invited. This year, I get to be Mick, Keith, and a little Bill, I guess? Come to the Carousel Saturday @ 7. I guarantee that you’ll get some satisfaction.

New Six Finger video from Christy Karacas!

I just sent a bunch of emails. Sorry to be so impressive.

I keep hitting ~ instead of ! in my messages, and I think it's a nice touch. E.g., "Wow~" Might start doing so intentionally.

I had a good sandwich yesterday, but I forgot to take a picture, so I guess it didn't happen.

Playing Friday for our friends the Peacock Hens’ record release. Show starts at 7:00 at Tweedy’s with Thee Sick Sick Sicks. Fun promised but only provided if you attend. No deliveries.

One of our best horror writers has a new one. Do yourself a favor and check out this sneak peek.

See you at Goner!

What movie do you consider perfect?

I had an inexpensive, good-tasting espresso yesterday.

My friend Danny says to watch out for Mexican sycamores.

Someone stole my shoes.

It’s time to say, “Not so fast, chronic kidney disease.”

Sine maybe?
