Goodnight Chip Taylor, a truly great songwriter, a good and generous friend. I’m glad that I got to know you. Chip’s songs were sung by many including Dusty, Evie Sands, two generations of Sinatras, The Specials, The Troggs, The Hollies and so many more. youtu.be/QSU7hJmjq5Y?...

Yesterday was the official release day for our 30th anniversary reissue of Rocketship's "A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness." It's been super cool seeing people posting their pics of the LP, one my favorite things about a new release. Keep 'em coming! slumberlandrecs.lsnto.me/acertainsmile

Funnily enough probably The Simpsons, which targeted adult and institutional hypocrisy, and was religio-skeptical ...

We love Jello, prayers up for this king 🙏🙏🙏

Musicmogging at Thee Stork Club last night thanks for coming out fans photo by @dandyboyrecords.bsky.social

People don’t realize how much the indie movie biz is pay-to-play & our movie is at the Drafthouse because it’s good not because we paid someone. If you wanna support a truly independent DIY comedy movie with 0 marketing budget see MICRO BUDGET in NY & LA this weekend. www.microbudgetmovie.com/watch

Tonight at the Stork Club in Oakland!!

Guess what's coming up!!

@rylitheband.bsky.social performed live on KEXP and I tagged along! It was a wonderful experience and we got to meet the LEGENDARY Cheryl Waters!!!

We're excited to let you know that we're teaming up with Galaxy Train and Meritorio to release the debut 7" by SF's The Kitchenettes. Lovely, intuitive pop that deftly updates the Marine Girls/Cat's Miaow/Lois template for 2026. Out March 27 and up for pre-orders now! li.sten.to/kitchenettes...

I have 20 releases on the calendar this year but I'm already making a mental tally of all of the bands I wish I had the time and money to work with. If you're not excited about anything happening right now- especially in the Bay, you're missing out on an amazing era of underground guitar music.

I played an hour of indie/technopop/new wave/etc on @kpiss.bsky.social today 🃏🔥🌶️🏃‍♂️🌞🥔 LISTEN HERE: kpiss.fm/episode/odd-...
