No one has bothered to ask me “what my perfect 10 album is” , but it’s the 1st Blue Nile LP.
Glum by Giant Sand is a masterpiece. If you want to hear some creative “Americana”…
Do Bob Dylan or Neil Young need more tributes? Message received, they are enduring and important, but there have been literally thousands of great artists since. I'm done with Rolling Stone Mag-era cultural oppression.
I wrote sleevenotes for a reissue of Tenniscoats' We Are Everyone. It was really nice to spend time with this amazing record and give some serious thought to their place in things. First time on vinyl via A Colourful Storm. @monorailmusic.bsky.social monorailmusic.com/products/ten...

in Brooklyn Oct 2, very much looking forward to it...
I enjoy watching vlogs about gardens, offgrid, permaculture etc. It's a positive part of the internet. Why do some creators use corny stock or ai music? You can easily commission a beautiful human soundtrack from the infinite bandcamp ambient home recordists for like $200. Make the world better.
Tonight. Last SF show for a bit, while I work on some recordings and out of town dates. Come out! High quality line-up.
this was fun to do, they had me react to a German playlist they made for me. blogs.taz.de/popblog/2026...

#cdfriday forgotten Kendra Smith work. different than Happy Nightmare Baby with some early Dead Can Dance and 80s Nico sounds via Northern California woods.
Pale Saints, this band brings together so many things I enjoy in music. I love the restless feeling in their work contrasting with dreaminess.
#cdfriday morning tea with this still confusing and beautiful Shudder to Think 2 on one and this Halstead that is as good as M3.
a couple cover songs to pass the time, come see us: Santa Cruz 7/18, Los Angeles 7/19, or San Francisco 7/22. theredspinksandpurples.bandcamp.com/album/and-no...

upcoming shows with top shelf bands like Simon Joyner & the Nervous Stars, The Umbrellas, Friendship, Cindy, check your internets and come see us, we need you, everything is fleeting, you aren't doing anything better that night in any case. got 5 more dates to announce for fall, maybe.
Please to the algorithm gods: block the terms "Flea" or "Flea and Jazz" in my feed. Thank you!
Enjoying this gem with morning tea, realizing this is basically 4AD surf music.
just now getting into Piano Magic and related. it's like a guy from Slint hired the entire cast of This Mortal Coil. such a rich catalog.
