Tonight in the @belcourttheatre.bsky.social's beautiful 1925 Hall. Just about as close to The Fireman's as we're ever gonna get, folks. 🦉

Ladies and gentlemen, a Tennessee Spring™: Saturday 3/14: sunny, 70s, windows open, yard work Sunday 3/15: wind advisory >>> tornado warning Monday 3/16: flurries >>> hard freeze...

The early 2000s/12" PowerBook G4/"Switch" campaign-era vibes are STRONG.

Me each Wednesday in April moseying right on over to the Belcourt.

File this under the same empty SaaS rhetoric with that Suno guy "it's not really enjoyable to make music now" and then burn the file.

Winter '04 at App State - I was a freshman experiencing my first Boone winter. The 2 concrete pedestrian tunnels under Rivers St (usually totally plastered with show posters and/or tagged with frat/sorority messaging) were repainted solid white with just "THEFACEBOOK.COM".

💥 I would absolutely help with this. Hackberries are the worst, year-round.

A very important thought about RSS. I signed up for Feedbin in early 2013 (and have used it every day since) as soon as the impending death of Google Reader was announced. Support indie developers who make the internet a good place. manuelmoreale.com/thoughts/yea...

The Holdovers (2023) has *the most satisfying* title card + text treatment.

Or Black Mirror that got acquired and “right-sized” by PE and then they tried to make a Black Mirror episode with what was left.

This made me want to double check my voter registration - if you're in TN and want to as well, you can at tnmap.tn.gov/voterlookup/

Only the provolonely.

Klute Alan J. Pakula, 1971

Gonna be thinking about this sentence from M. Emmett Walsh's wikipedia for a LONG time: His persona was a "mesmerising everyman and an indelible gargoyle" who featured "poached-egg eyes."

Thank you, @thecroftonshow.bsky.social, for deftly articulating how we’re all feeling.

Photo news! I'm so honored to have worked with Tristen + Cortney (phiz) and Michael (@ykrecords.bsky.social) on this very special physical release. My photo on the cover, printing by Risology Club in Nashville, pressed on that *wildly cool* clear yellow Flexi 7". A few outtakes I really love:

Just out here with these Hitchcockian irises.

Since April 1, DOGE has put dozens of the NEH’s staff on administrative leave, making it impossible for the agency to fulfill its statutory obligations. Arts friends, please let your Members of Congress know that you condemn these actions and support the National Endowment for the Humanities!

The skies are calm at the moment, but when Middle Tennessee weather gets hectic, @nashseverewx.com keeps crucial information flowing in real time. Andrew Leeper and Will Minkoff join @genuinehumandk.bsky.social this week on Banner & Co. to talk about their origin story and tips to stay safe.

This is a video of PBS travel guy Rick Steves at the Edmonds WA Hands Off event, giving a speech which I think is one of the BEST explanations I've seen for the average person of what is going on now and it is 🔥🔥🔥. You are going to want to watch this. youtu.be/86hnPrWozUo?...

Oh cool, we’re doing Angry Red Wasp Season in April now. It really is the end, isn’t it.

The video @yewknee.com made for fellow YK Records labelmate, Talking With Hands, is *top shelf* (so is the track/whole album). The spoken word lyrics are hitting me hard - especially that bridge. (Love the attention to detail with the CRT monitor aspect ratio.)

This is very good internet news.

Here's the best thing I ever read about Gene Hackman, by @rbuas.bsky.social at @flaminghydra.com flaminghydra.com/gene-hackman...

And if youuuuuuuuu cannnnnnnnn believe it! It’s February 24 once again!

@thecroftonshow.bsky.social 🖤

Gonna be rough out there for a while, Nashville. You can also give directly to Open Table here: opentablenashville.org/donate 🦞

Don't think there's a single soul in the Nashville area that doesn't follow/adore @nashseverewx.com, but posting this just in case. Stay weather aware, gang. Also pssssst @bsky.app, when can we get post notifications?

“What we urgently need in all ranks of leadership, both in corporate and government, is the ability to imagine futures that see the messiness of being human not as an inefficiency to be optimised away but as an essential friction that weaves the fabric of genuine human experience.” 👏

Oh dear.

5-Pack acquired.

It happened.

Let's get Mulholland Drive over 1M on @letterboxd.social tonight. letterboxd.com/film/mulholl...

This is a massive help (and sorry I've done alt-text poorly for so long).

Coupla snowy sheepdogs. Eli, Juno, Eli and Juno.

Nashville’s getting a solid (for us) snow starting tomorrow, and I’ve been waiting a year to get the flash back out and catch some more weird snow shots like these from Jan ‘24. ❄️

Appreciation post 🖤 Fifteen years doing anything consistently is no small feat. Operating an independent record label for 15 years—especially one focused on physical releases in a world dominated by fleeting streams and algorithms—reflects a rare kind of dedication.

So happy to be a part of this one-for-the-books event. Happy 15th, @ykrecords.bsky.social!

Howdy #photography and #print folks. Where might I find some good tips on prepping your photos for print? Monitor calibration, soft proofing with ICC profiles, etc. The whole shebang, really. I've (embarassingly) not seen many of my photos printed and I'm changing that in 2025.

I would happily sit through 215 mins of this type treatment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d7y...

My much-better half and I recorded a cover of @lowtheband.bsky.social’s “Just Like Christmas”. We’re so happy with how it turned out and would love for y’all to hear it 🖤 ykrecords.bandcamp.com/album/yk-rec...

Nothing rings in the holidays quite like Robbie’s pinch harmonics and Van the Man’s tiny kicks.

@michaelbeecham.com really has it going on. I love his approach to rural environments and am *very* envious of his seemingly 24/7 access to fog. Congrats on the feature, Michael!
