A crazy thing about today is that this morning I’m in Austin, but tonight I’ll be in Dallas.

Do you live in or near Dallas? Do you want to see me? If you answered "yes" to both of those questions (or even just to the first one), then come to the Twilite Lounge Friday night. Long Black Car, Cheap Fix, and the Hillside Wranglers. It's so easy, it should be a crime!

Fun show yesterday. Thanks, Gerard.

Saturday. June 13. The Aristocrat. Cheap Fix and Rocket 808. DJs Doug Niemczura and Schooley at 4:00. Rocket 808 at 5:00. Cheap Fix at 6:00. All ages. Free. Loud.

Going on a boat later.

Yesterday, I did something to my body. I subjected it to exertion. Was it fair? Uncertain. Was it wise? Probably not. Will it seek revenge? Almost assuredly. Nevertheless, I will probably do it again. I make these feeble efforts even as I know the body will one day take me down.

The how-to guide for summer was written 51 years ago by Harry Wayne Casey. It consists of only three instructions: 1. Do a little dance. 2. Make a little love. 3. Get down tonight.

My HEB is so East Side, they got rid of the bike rack at the west end of the store.

Is anyone going to tell Chevy Silverado that “Radar Love” is about dying while driving?

The squirrels sound different here.

Heading to Portland, OR, tomorrow to play this righteous fest. Any recommendations for cool places to check out are welcome!

Why the hell did they change the icon for Google calendar. How am I supposed to find it amongst my 40 open tabs now?

Never thought García Lorca would have looked this happy.

Hahaha! Paul Schrader got dumped by an AI.

Just practiced with the excellent Eric Hisaw Band. Doing a Stooges song with them this Saturday at Angie’s Rock and Roll Prom at the Carousel. Sounded pretty boss. Probably sound that way Saturday, too. Come find out.

Where are all the highlighters?

Coming up Thursday for those of you in Austin. The only local Cheap Fix show in May!

It was dark, and I tried to put my sock on upside down.

I'll bet the guy from Pavement is really good at Connections.

I really want to see a graphic novel about a kid and their trusted seal.

It's happening again. If we don't do something,* we're going to run out of butter. *buy more butter

Look what’s happening in July! Get this book!

Something funny that happened is that the Pyrex blew up in my hand while I was making dinner.

The new Mandrake is a girl.

-You know that song "I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night"? -The Electric Prunes, sure. -Well, it was like that, except instead of dreams it was drinks.

Last night I was part of a jam session. I’m trying (and failing) to remember if I’ve ever done this before.

Excited about the David J/Pedal Steel Noah collaboration. They sounded great together the other night.

A movie couple that would definitely have a podcast:

“Torchy’s has a good salad” is a sentence I never expected to write.

A thing that Texas cares a lot about is shrimp.

Dear advertisers, people don’t like their food to talk.

Was that guy cleaning his aquarium with a waffle?

I asked A.I. to complete my novel using my own writing style and it did my laundry, went shopping, cleaned the kitchen and spent the rest of the day dicking around online.

Recording tomorrow at a new place. Excited. Stay tuned for results.

Been really enjoying R.J. Decker.

I just had to sit all the way through Who’s Johnny. It is 2026.

My friend Jack and I drove straight from Villanueva, NM, to Chicago, IL. It took 23 hours.* And on the Kid Carnivore tour, a group of us did Austin to Seattle (49 hours) with two cars and five drivers.**

I think the man from Outkast was exaggerating when he said he apologized a trillion times.

Heading to Lawrence, KS, this weekend! If you're in the vicinity, come by and see us play the Replay! And then hang out and have a blast at the rest of Replay-o-Rama, this Friday and Saturday, 3/13 and 3/14. Lots of great bands at a great bar. In Kansas! See you there!

It’s Bandcamp Friday. Why not download this classic?

About to have a busy month! Starting with this short solo show this Sunday, March 1. I’ll be playing three songs as a kind of intermission betwixt some delightful comedy acts. Come have beer and kolaches and laugh and cry*. 7:00 3/1 @ Batch *I’m the reason you’ll cry.

Where the hell is Rose Larkin?!

Another very important and masterfully written story from Pam. Trigger warning: a very difficult read dealing with domestic violence, sexual assault, and killing.

If you see this, post a drummer that starts with B. Birdstuff

Haven’t heard of the arrest of a royal since they had Prince Albert in the can.

I can hear lots of cheering. It is not for me.

Discovered a great new-to-me restaurant last night that’s closing for good tomorrow.
