Haven't been to a show since MDF in May but I've got Profanatica/Cloak this Thursday and Panopticon/Catharsis in October as well, both at Nikki Lopez (Dobb's) in Philly. Plus I'm playing next Friday night.

NEWT | Steve@neastwizardtyrant.bsky.social · 4h ago

My remaining shows for 2026 • September 12 - Weald and Woe at The Gutter • September 27 - Gorillaz at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion • September 30 - Volcandra at The Wood Shop • October 9 - Panopticon at Market Hotel • November 14 - Negative Bliss at The Sanctuary What do you 🫵 have remaining?

Haven't been able to get myself to a concert since MDF in May but I may have made an impulse ticket purchase when I found out Godfrey was doing sets this weekend at Punch Line in Philly.

A late-night (for me) reflection on not having everything immediately at our fingertips for once... again.

So around 1999-2001, one of the homies gave me a CD. Nothing mind-blowing, but pretty cool indie/emo/shoegaze stuff that stuck with me in a way that had me coming back to it regularly over the years. Have looked the band up a few times but found no web presence (1/x)

What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)

😀just got a Google Scholar notification that an article I co-authored years ago was just cited again 🫤in an article on homeopathy

I pre- ordered the new Nothingness album at announcement but have been barely able to function today, let alone listen to music, thanks to some unspecified sinus fuckery. Positive takes are dominating my timeline; really can't wait to check it out now.

When was a word first used in print? You may be surprised! Choose a year, and we'll show you the words that come from that date.

Just reached out on Reddit to someone in my area looking to put together a band. Is this what online dating feels like?

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains. If we're including EPs...

If I had to do a Top Five today, it's this: Callous Faulter - s/t Suicide Forest - World of Decay Diabolus, Mecum Semperterne! - s/t Teratoma - Longing Veracity And I Become Death - Dies Irae II Pharmacist, Ebony Pendant, and Misotheist sniffing around, too. #metalsky

If forced to pick my aoty (so far), I’d go with Khemmis. The opening few notes just set the mood. A special album for sure. You?

you will be shocked to learn it did not, in fact, get better as it went along

jesus christ even as gen x nostalgia bait masters of the universe may set a new standard of suck. it's not half as ironic or clever as it seems to think.

@betsyshirley.bsky.social pointed out that this no-girls-allowed Christian gym's covenant replaces the Bible's usual triad of "the orphan, the widow, and the stranger (stranger = poor and/or immigrant folks)" with "the orphan, the widow, and [the unborn]." interesting.

Doing things with others is great. Doing things on your own is great too. See the movie, enjoy the concert, visit the place, eat the meal.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

Saw my first back to school ad of the summer. It's July 15.

View from the office this evening.

It's going to be a great week to speak ill of the dead; I can just feel it.

But i just spent 20 minutes on the phone with Lindsey Graham. No wonder he was so quiet.

scheduled next tattoo appointment please clap

Finally had the chance to put in a shift with this crime against nature at rehearsal tonight. Plays and sounds BEAUTIFUL. Definitely using this at the gig Sunday, even though I'm still working on fixing the muscle memory that says top string = E.

Summer reading list

This week's #metalsky Bandcamp purchases. Field Effect was something different and experimental, still in the black metal/gaze-adjacent space. Never heard of Bastard Sapling until someone here mentioned it this week, for which I am grateful. All worth a listen!
