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.

First we need to figure out where my glasses are. Then, we can worry about Waldo.

“Them leaves ain’t gonna blow themselves” is, I assume, what these guys are telling themselves.

Even more masterful in its original Twitter format, but this has one of my favorite jokes ever. youtu.be/uzMa7LZuyAc?...

Finally replaced the gasket on my Gaggia yesterday and cleaned the machine. The shots it’s pulling now are so gorgeous you could put them on the wall, if for some reason I hadn’t drunk them. But I did, so you can’t.

I love that, in a genre known for its braggadocio, Run DMC wrote a song about how it's actually kind of hard to rock a rhyme. youtu.be/l-O5IHVhWj0?...

A week from Sunday at Hotel Vegas! Playing with our friends Dana from Ohio!

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

Wait, so elephants is just wearing lifts?

Friday night. Toubin’s going to be in town for one of his swinging’-from-the-rafters NY Night Train Soul Clap dance parties! Cheap Fix opens up at 8:00, followed by Suckling and Pussy Gillette. Then JT and Jake Garcia spin the jams. Come down to the 13th Floor Friday, 1/16, and shake it with us!

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.

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.

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.
