My Rickenbacker every time I choose it to be the guitar I take on tour

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

1967, Denmark Street, London. Bo Diddley tries out a Gibson guitar through a Selmer amp. Selmer, at one point a big name in British music, were already losing ground to Marshall, WEM & others, although the company carried on until the late 1970s

Afternoon Listening: Cecil Taylor - Unit Structures Anthony Williams - Spring Squire - The Singles Album The Clash - Give ‘Em Enough Rope Various Artists - This Are Two Tone

Whenever a blooper from The Office where one of the actors breaks and laughs pops up on Instagram I’m like “Was there something funny happening off screen that we’re not seeing? Did a dog wearing a tie walk by or something?”

Hey, so... Any music journalists out there in bluesky world wanna hear a cool record?

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

Family, religion, friendship: these are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.

I love this band so fucking much lmao

THAT SAID: If buying our music isn’t financially feasible and you stream our stuff instead we also profoundly appreciate that! Perennial Loves You ❤️

I don't think I've ever actually STREAMED In The Midnight Hour but you can bet that when a barista friend asked people to bring in vinyl for their shift I was spreading the Food For Hornets gospel

Trying out a new strategy where whenever anyone in the industry asks about our streaming numbers I’m going to answer [truthfully] “I have no idea; people buy our records”

I’m not exactly kicking back in the south of France counting my many royalties, but if you’re an artist just starting out & want simple advice from a semi-successful DIY band: - shoot your shot. EVERY opportunity. Let *them* say “no” - promote/post tirelessly about your shows - be on time - be nice

Here’s a Perennial Guarantee: When you add Perennial as an opener, you’re getting a band that WILL NOT SHUT UP about your show

Last Thursday I was able to renew my pledge as a card-carrying member of the @perennialtheband.bsky.social society. As you can see, they move so fast and generate so many soul vibrations a humble phone camera cannot clearly capture them.

Perennial!

Happy birthday to Nick Lowe

Those posts where there’s a picture of a bunch of old cassettes and you gotta pick one? Those are the best posts.

Whenever a band that Tom doesn’t like comes up in conversation on The Best Show he says “I like the *good* stuff” This phrase is in my mind constantly

We can finally announce: we made a new LP ‘Public Luxury’ out June 26 on @subpop.bsky.social! Our first single + video “No Me Jodas” is out RIGHT NOW. Full video and pre-order the LP at music.subpop.com/downtownboys...

Added to which, of course, having gone through a long cycle of “Ah, sure, The Clash, sure, I mean - yeah,” you come back to, “no they actually ARE one of the best bands of all time.”

I’m being haggled to death by yet *another* booking client; meanwhile, I need to raise $200 for meds and groceries to get me and my sons through the end of the month. Anyone who donates $50+ can get a custom song from me; I’ll be recording the next one in my queue this week! 🎶 #HelpFolksLive2026

I wish The Late Show was still on the air. David Letterman would have really made a meal out of saying “Wet Leg”.

VOLUME UP “Food For Hornets” live & in-person

Lots of evidence of why humanities requirements in education are important floating around these days

It says a lot about capitalism that the richest person on Earth has never once thought, said, made, influenced or liked a single good thing in his miserable fucking life

MEET THE WOLFMAN AT THE SOCKHOP

My favorite rapper is GZA, and yet I don’t know how to play chess and have never handled a samurai sword

Let's be clear @perennialtheband.bsky.social moved London last night. Ably supported by #Sinews and #Pityspeed. #GigGang

Had a lot of fun with Perennial for my first visit to the Cavendish Arms last night. Support from Oxford’s Sinews and Pityspeed playing their very first gig #chopsgigs #perennial @perennialtheband.bsky.social
