Sooooooooo, who wants to talk to me about how long ago racism was??? (I was 4 when that letter was drafted.)
I was about 3 weeks shy of my 2nd birthday, when this happened. American history.

The Odyssey was truly great, and definitely requires ear protection. Thanks to all who advised bringing plugs (I have mine with me at all times) - random SPL checks showed it hitting 104db - as loud as the last couple of Sugar shows I saw 😵💫
Sure you hate yourself, but do you hate yourself enough to make a handful of your own 2ft XLR patch cables?
Just got my kid a schedule for 6th grade and I’m all sick in the guts now This happened way too soon
Very excited to be taking my mom to see Graham Nash for (her) first time tonight. Extra excited that the show is at the very old-people-friendly hour of 7:30
Nobody better to share a whole-assed day’s drive to godforsaken florida
More explicitly, what is actually happening is bad enough that imagination is not necessary.

Well shit y'all, I’m launching a podcast! 🎙️ I've been fighting in the legislature, speaking out, & standing up—now let’s talk about where we are and where we go from here. The first episode is dropping soon, so don’t miss it! 🔗Sign up for early access at standingtallpod.com (link in bio)
I don’t know how me and my 1980s born unconscious are supposed to survive the AI era, last night I had a dream my new album was coming out exclusively as a flexidisc on a magazine
Just tried listening to the Atmos version of "another green world," in the headphones, barely lasted two songs. I'll only be able to do that with something I haven't heard before (or haven't heard 500 times) otherwise it just feels disrespectful to the original mix and my brain's familiarity with it
All this McConnell talk got us wanting to watch "Weekend at Bernie's" for the first time in forever. Made the kid watch it. Still holds up, mostly. Dead Bernie still much more entertaining than Mitch, live or dead
A really beautiful piece of work, start to finish:
My 6th album is officially out! It’s the most personal album I’ve ever done. I put SO much into this record. It’s a collection of memories from the Summers of my childhood. I couldn’t be more proud of this work. I hope you’ll take a listen. ❤️☺️ phoneswithchords.bandcamp.com/album/high-u...
gorgeous record by my friend. he sent it to me a while back and I've been enamored with it. a beautiful album about past lives and Americana. I was honored to play piano on track 10, too. and as always, an elegant and thoughtful collective mix by @wicknebber.bsky.social

MF’n Olive Garden I have no illusions about authenticity or any of that hipster BS. That shit’s yummy
Too much politics on the timeline. Quote this with a maligned food that you enjoy
I know it’s such a tired joke at this point, but I’m still always struck by how aggressive that cowbell is in “Don’t Fear the Reaper”
i hate to be insufferable but selling my photos is my full time job now 🥲 you can get yours at katswansey.com/shop
Neighbors down the street have brought some heavy ordinance to their huge pool party. Gonna be a very long night.

I wrote a piece that's too long for social media on substack about closing the physical location of my record label & losing my mind on social media. Give it a read if you're into that. Pic by @gmiddleb.bsky.social adeemtheartist.substack.com/p/adeem-the-...
@andrewpelletier.bsky.social @oxidelounge.bsky.social You guys. The 635A at the knee. How have I gone this long without it? Immediate awesome drum sound, now if only I didn't play like a toddler
You hear a lot about people having “main character complex” but no one talks about “extra complex,” where you don’t expect anyone to remember your name and never feel like you belong in whatever group you’re in, however unwarranted. Because lemme tell you, it’s a thing
We saw a performance of Music for 18 Musicians tonight, and I can’t overstate how happy I get when, midway through, the maraca comes out. Both times I’ve seen it performed, everyone on stage started smiling at that moment. It’s the damnedest thing.
Superdrag, in full volume form. The guys who made me want to get a Jazzmaster. The guy who shows me how to hit the drums w/ power and vibe in equal measure. A hilarious wild animal on bass. 30 years later, I’ve ended up feeling like a part of a family. So much loud sweaty joy in the room last night.
