Little League uniforms have gotten pretty sweet

Seen in a basement: Dad Rock and the latest @wfmu.bsky.social program guide.

Makaya McCraven and wondrous band was a joy at the Village Vanguard tonight; unifying core Junius Paul on bass a revelation. Great show! Great to be in that sacred room!

ran into Conrad at the prog show and we are gonna chip in for the Neil Peart passport holder

Tonight’s listening: Elvis Costello at Sweetwater in Mill Valley 4/29/89 with a killer band and many guests, including Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir, in bootleg CD form.

Landed in SF and guy next to me on BART rocking a Doobie Brothers shirt ⚡️

Knicks in… five, I guess

Bob Dylan at Forest Hills was simply exquisite. I hung on every note and was never not being lifted. Storms held off. Crowd seemed to feel lucky to be there, bc of the weather and also you know Bob Dylan and his incredible band. If I see Saint Annie I’ll tell her thanks a lot.

Sitting on a beach in the Caribbean, speculating about Yo La Tengo Hanukkah openers.

Listening to the glory that is 7/16/90, one of the most fun days/nights of my life. The second set-opening Sugar Magnolia > Scarlet Begonias is summertime in musical form. What a gas for a teenager on summer break.

A magical night of almost entirely instrumental music feat. guitars and effects and loops and delays on a hot but breezy evening at the wondrous Mama Tried last night with Seawind of Battery, Tacoma Park, and Animal, Surrender.

New CD player today (!) and new Parts and Labor // @ejrc.bsky.social

Three different kids in the slice shop, three Knicks shirts.

Everything he touches he poisons

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

Happy birthday to me, we are in a pal’s basement and listening to Jesse-spun Jonathan Richman

cool your head with the frow show, 3 hours of new music & benevolent dreaminess, from now 'til midnight ET on @wfmu.bsky.social. wfmu.org/playlists/JJ...

First ever Mermaid Avenue show with Wilco and Billy Bragg did not disappoint. (Whoever posted this forgot to add Nora Guthrie on cowbell)

Neighborhood report: school just got out for summer. Parking spots already opening up. Court Pastry Shop and 16 Handles both mobbed. Saw a kid straight up drop his cone on the sidewalk.

MAGA asshole Mike Love drags the carcass of the Beach Boys to a sad, ignominious end.

I Went to One of the Last-Ever Shows of a Beloved Rock Band. What I Saw Was Haunting and Strange.

His desiccated performance and chintzy stage show eerily reflected his dark MAGA turn.

OTD in 1979, THE MUPPET MOVIE opened in theaters across the United States. Jim Henson noted (with typical understatement) that its reception was "Great!" and it was one of the most profitable films of the decade. But getting the Muppets to the big screen in the first place was hard work.

Sinatra Drive Breakdown at Forest Hills

Always a good day when you’re seeing Yo La Tengo.

There’s a whole lotta orange and blue on the uptown F train and it is glorious.

Aimee Mann wasn’t sure if Rush fans would boo her. The singer-songwriter discusses how she was convinced to appear as a special guest at the band’s recent shows: ‘I knew they would make it really easy for me, because they’re decent people.’

Is this the SINGLE WORST presidential response in history? I know he holds the top 100, but this feels like the gold to me.

NYT: Can you now say whether you will hold anyone in your administration accountable for the strike on a school that killed more than 100 children? TRUMP: No. It's such a strange question to be asked. It's a long time ago. Mistakes are made. I would ask Pete Hegseth that question.
