It’s gotten to the point where I’m retweeting Chris Hayes

Oh, a few more things: the Avalon Lounge is a fantastic venue; another #Dromfest highlight was the ever-changing Seve Keene exhibit (I finally got a Keene!); and I misnamed the band French? above, sorry guys

Dromedary Records' Dromfest music festival returns with Yo La Tengo, Sunburned Hand of Man, Das Damen and more indie rock titans across five venues.

MAGNET Exclusive: Full-album premiere of Moviola’s “Earthbound” (Dromedary, @sugarblastmusic.bsky.social). “A reflection on what isolation feels like when everyone else seems to have figured shit out and is moving along with their lives.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2025/08/28/m...

Husker Du was really really very good

Thanks to the Big Takeover for an excellent Whimbrels review

#NewMusic: Moviola – Slage Wave. A prime cut in a lo-fi vibe from Earthbound, their new album. Out next month via @sugarblastmusic.bsky.social / Dromedary Records. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/moviola...

I like resign or be primaried. Can we just go right there instead of a hollow apology demand?

Lovely review of The Whimbrels’ debut by @jenpkelly.bsky.social

Just like that, Saturday tickets are all gone. Can I draw your attention to Friday’s excellent bill, or the fantastic lineup for Sunday?

Can’t say enough great stuff about @rosyoverdrive.com - excellent review of The Whimbrels’ debut LP here

Happy to announce the addition of Yo La Tengo to the Dromfest bill. Single-day tickets are now available; tickets are running low for all three days (link in bio)

MAGNET Exclusive: Premiere of Moviola’s “Slage Wave” (Dromedary, @sugarblastmusic.bsky.social). “A version of ‘Which Side Are You On?’ come to life … The ghost of Johnny Paycheck, union organizing, hilarity and sadness ensue.” Check it out: magnetmagazine.com/2025/06/27/m...

OUT TODAY! the debut LP from NYC’s The Whimbrels. Get your copy from finer indie record stores, or from the link in our bio.

The Whimbrels' debut album features a triple-guitar assault that turns volume into art. Arad Evans + Norman Westberg discuss their band's obsession with alternate tunings, cheap guitars, and making audiences feel the floor move. Banging + Jangling with The Whimbrels: @sugarblastmusic.bsky.social

Now, this is badass. If true, I salute all the tow-truck drivers in and around the LA area. Well done! #Resist #Persist #GetInvolved

Dispatch from Kingston, NY, where over 20% of the city population took to the streets to protest ⬇️

TONIGHT AT 10 we'll try and briefly forget the fact that federal agents are disappearing our neighbors & have a radio show. Instead, we'll use the airwaves that we have (at least for now) and our free speech to list a narrow and carefully-scrutinized list of musical artists. Tune in, it'll be fun.

Scrawl, New Radiant Storm King, Beth Kaplan from Salem 66… Vehicle Flips reunion?! Just… the whole damn lineup. (HT Maria T) dromedary-records.com/announcing-d...

Tickets are on sale now and space is limited

Dromfest '25 lineup announcement is tomorrow. Watch this space.

TONIGHT on @wgxc_90.7fm - tune in for a new installment of Signal to Noise. 10 pm til midnight at wavefarm.org or 90.7 fm in the mid and upper Hudson Valley where the trees are carpet-bombing us with pollen and everything is coated with a neon green haze, including my lungs.

We love @rosyoverdrive.com ! Thanks so much for this great review of Dauber's "Falling Down," (and thanks for mentioning our pals @nightcourtpunk). You can buy the CD from us, the tape through State Champ, and the vinyl or DL through Recess Records. Go git!

We shot a very funny episode of "Have I Got News For You" tonight. I went into it thinking tariffs wouldn't be funny. I was wrong. Our guests @karenchee.bsky.social and @rokhanna.bsky.social were both funny and awesome. Airs tomorrow night on CNN.

Ida and Tsunami, Levon Helm Studios, Woodstock. Inexplicably my first time seeing them and they were as wonderful as everyone told me they would be. Tsunami was also excellent as expected. Catch this tour if it comes to your neighborhood.

The Feelies, Bearsville Theater, Woodstock. These songs have been with me for so long and I love them so much, each time I hear them they seem to fit a little better. Also GO TO BEARSVILLE THEATER. What a great place to see a show. The room sounds GREAT.

Expert demolishment ⚡ "The layer of unwashed mediocrity coating every inch of your existence." Sublime. I need to know who Stacey Patton is!

We are excited to welcome DEW CLAW to the Dromedary family! Dew Claw is Stephen Hunking (ex-Hypnolovewheel) and Chris Xefos (ex-King Missile), and will be releasing their next LP on Dromedary this spring. The folks at @glidemag were kind enough to premiere the video for "Wall." Link in bio!

Cathedral Ceilings hit the road NEXT WEEK! During the tour, we’re making the download of their album “La La La…Whatever” FREE. CHECK IT OUT (link in bio). If you like it & decide to buy the LP or CD, we’ll give 100% of the profits to the ACLU. We’ll start this 3/13 and continue til the tour is over!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Last night's episode of Signal to Noise is now archived at www.mixcloud.com/Sugarblast/ if you're so inclined to give it a listen.

A lot of us are struggling. Tell me something you’re doing to bring yourself a little joy in this mess. Share a little happy thing.

MONDAY NIGHT - All kinds of moods on @wgxc_90.7fm with a brand-new episode of Signal to Noise. Sit tight and listen keenly. 10pm til midnight, keep me company, we will vibe together.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Comedy Minus One's expanded 2xLP + CD reissue of Silkworm's "Developer" is in stores around the globe today. If your local record shop doesn't already have it in stock, tell them to ask @redeyeworldwide.com to order it for you! www.comedyminusone.com/releases/dev...

TONIGHT! Catch Karyn Kuhl & the Gang on WFMU! Karyn & band taped a full set at WFMU's studios, and you can hear it in its entirety tonight at midnight on Six Degrees with Alan at WFMU.org. @karynkuhlband @wfmu @alansixdegrees

Tremendous review from @rosyoverdrive.com of a fantastic reissue by one of my favorite bands. If you don't know Silkworm, "Developer" is a pretty great place to start.

McCartney sells out three nights at Bowery Ballroom, so George Harrison comes back from the dead and the best he can get is a Monday night at the Merc?

One of the best things we can do is patronize companies maintaining their #DEI initiatives and shunning those who won't. They should realize we are informed, loyal and more savvy customers. Maybe the others won't kowtow to this regime. ✊ *list of inclusive companies

Brand-new Signal to Noise airs tonight at 10pm eastern on WGXC-fm (or Wavefarm.org for people who prefer streaming or who are outside the upper Hudson Valley). Lots of good stuff tonight.

If Joe Biden had given George Soros the kind of access to private data that Elon Musk and his engineers have right now, the right wing would be making January 6 look like an episode of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
