I’m so delighted my five month old loves the trombone. I’m going to do so many Peanuts adults impersonations.

Tilly’s friend always has her eye on her

Credit to Florence Welch not only for personifying her anxiety but casting Bill Nighy as it

My replay-list for the year so far is dominated by a) songs I listen to while playing with dogs at work, and b) the song I play for Tilly whenever I come home

Make a dog happy today

On break at my doggie daycare job, watching reels about dogs at other doggie daycares

I had been doing a deep dive into David Byrne’s discography but then I stepped through Love This Giant and now I’m doing a deep dive into St. Vincent’s discography

Quote with a fictional band that is not spinal tap

Tilly is queen of the kissing booth

Gosh, I hope Beck comes out with a mellow album again this year. Sea Change in 2002, Morning Phase in 2014… 2026 would seem to be The Year!

Our shopping list is an evolving work of art

Been a minute since I wore the glam mantis goggles — here used as dogwalking shades. Been practicing a bunch in the rock star offseason. Coming back with two shows with three different bands next weekend. It’s full force of nothing! 🤘

Just realized that I go to my room to phone family members — like we’re the Endless from Sandman at their altars. To be fair, though, mine’s one chill altar.

R2-D2 is so rarely clean. I’m watching Phantom Menace and almost immediately he’s covered in flak.

My favorite gargoyle

Just enough cars are parked on my street to make it feel like the Turbo Tunnel from Battletoads

Aww man, one of my favorite basketball players of all time died last year. Lawrence Moten ruled at Syracuse and is the reason I had a Vancouver Grizzlies Starter jacket in the mid nineties

Sylvan Esso’s latest two songs really capture the zeitgeist: WDID is manic doomscrolling and Keep On is resigning to hope

Enjoying a surprise three day weekend yesterday, today and tomorrow. Been filling it with Kraftwerk, the book Bunny and the movie One Battle After Another

I listened to Mort Garson’s Plantasia twice yesterday, and I can feel it playing again another two times today. A desert island album for sure.

A Moogus at Rest

It’s a beautiful winter

Gonna write a song to go with this

One time, @softoctober.bsky.social and I were headed home from a party in the city, and she was leaning on me as we crossed the ice, and she was singing Starman, and it was really nice

Dream job: doggie daycare attendant on the U.S.S. Enterprise 🖖🐶

BABY: BORN! Very early this morning!!! Huge success, much cute, thank you everyone for your wonderful messages!

This tiny hand is going to grab the future and make it an amazing one, I just know it

Too busy trying to dodge covid, RSV, and the flu to go out tonight going to stay in with @alldogsgotokevin.bsky.social who says if you start when Harry met Sally at 1030 you can align the new year with the new year scene

My drop item would be a bag of ten sprinkled munchkins

The Donkey Kong Biker Gang rides again today!

@softoctober.bsky.social in a nutshell

Snowed in with a cache of Christmas cookies. Life is sweet.

Tilly left one footprint in the snow

Merry Christmas! Love, Santa and his little helper

Rankin-Bass’s Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is loaded front to back with tunes. And you know what? Each one is a BANGER

Partners and I just realized that the central park rangers from Elf are absolutely based on the Nazgûl

This wedding has An ice cream bar A creme brulee bar A zeppole bar And a s'mores bar I don't have words for how I feel right now it's like paradise

I wowed the bar by nailing the trombone solo in wrong way!

Shout out to @softoctober.bsky.social for being an excellent videographer and crowd organizer

you better watch out You better watch out You Better Watch Out YOU BETTER WATCH OUT

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Before I got into Talking Heads, a coworker told me Naive Melody (This Must Be the Place) always reminded her of me. Years later, I truly appreciate how incredible a compliment this was.

Friday! Long Island folks, come see!!

Gave Tilly an Odie aka her big tongued / flappy eared likeness

Current Weather

Casserole’s ready

Bought my dog a sweater and now she looks like my Great Grandda watching the street looking for someone to start judging

Time to make a font museum on my google drive, starting with Currency and Century Gothic

See you at Otto’s!

We started watching Muppet Christmas Carol on tv and realized midway through it didn’t have When Love is Gone. @softoctober.bsky.social quickly rectified this.
