Woof, there's so much going on. I'm not sure even where to start with this one. First and foremost, happy belated birthday to Dave Blood. If he were still with us, he would have turned seventy on Wednesday. Here's another great photo of him that didn't make it into the final version of the book, and I don't know if it's been published.

Nobody believes you that you dislike Piker for any reason other than he is correct about Israel, correct about US empire, and correct about the shitty geriatric democrats who do nothing. You are lying.

DC is a deeply eerie place right now. phalanxes of feds and national guard everywhere you look, trump's ugly fucking mug staring down at you from every other federal building. my hometown is maybe the loveliest walking-around-type city in the country and they are trying like hell to ruin it

This Doesn’t Quite Count as Research: Cancelled DJ Gigs and Life Updates (with one great Dead Milkmen review)
Another night, another cancelled DJ gig. Last night, it happened because the Pinery was closed due to an impending thunderstorm (understandable). I decided to keep Tuesday's post up just for record-keeping purposes, and hopefully I'll have a new date soon for the return of Through Being Cool to Lil's Wine Shop. Also, if anybody is dying to see me play 80+ minutes of consistently great records while still in my work clothes, …

Back at the Pinery this Thursday!
Happy Tuesday, folks. I'm sure you saw I had to postpone/cancel a couple of appearances last week, one of which was the return of 'Through Being Cool' (Pop-Punk Night!) at Lil's at Standing Stone Wines. Rest assured that Lil and I will be working to reschedule that one soon, and I'll make sure to announce the new date as soon as it's confirmed.

Wild that this shit is still going on -- university administrators just plowing money into AI, with no particular vision or goal, against the wishes of most professors & students, even as money is desperately needed for other things.
Calif. colleges bought everyone ChatGPT. No one knows what to do with it.
California professors say they are left improvising as the CSU partners with OpenAI.

This Counts as Research! (The Dead Milkmen) Vol. 13: Interview with Lester Shy of the ‘Swampland of Desire’ Fan Site
EDITOR'S NOTE: Happy Friday! As I've mentioned before, one of my favorite experiences of writing and publishing The Dead Milkmen has been connecting with the greater community of Dead Milkmen fans worldwide. I wasn't "there" in 1994 when the band broke up, and I was never in too deep on any message boards. There were a few larger-scale attempts to create open-access online archives (or anarchives) of Milkmen material, including one circa 2004-2008 by the band themselves.

VIEWS: Sonic Geography & Collin Hagood at 14th Star Brewing’s Remix Media Market (080926)
On Sunday, my friend Collin Hagood and I split duties on the turntables at 14th Star Brewing in St. Albans. Our friend Bobby, known for his brewery-guy prowess as much as a drummer, lined up this annual event and invited us to soundtrack the occasion. This was my first time doing a collaborative vinyl night in eons, and it reminded me why it's always a great idea.
