Entering the time of year where I will 100% be cross referencing the Eagles schedule before accepting the gig. 🦅

Guitar pickup and cymbal choices are something a lot of people overlook during the preproduction/studio set up phase. It’s amazing how much they can change the vibe of a recording. You don’t need to record with the gear you gig with.

Got to see one of my favorite bands in the whole wide world do a little reunion gig last night. Still feeling feelings about it. Thank you, Fat Creeps

I keep wanting to make this platform work but it feels really dead :-/

Shipping CD’s has gotten so stupid expensive

Once in a while I revisit the Warren Zevon catalogue and turn up something earwormy youtu.be/tP0i2TAMFoE?...

It’s hot when drummers are the most unproblematic member of the band, but also somehow more worrisome.

I’m a guitarist so when people use the phrase “change your tune” I’m probably thinking about giving DADGAD a whirl again

Everything between Halloween and Marathon Monday just absolutely sucks in Boston. This is why when someone wants me to talk about their kid coming to college here that’s from further south I try to tell them to come visit in the middle of December because that’s how most of the school year is.

The real message of Frogger is the dangers of commuting in a city that doesn't have reliable public transit.

I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS A BUSINESSMAN

The band I play drums in, Honey Cassette, is playing Nice a Fest this summer! 😄 3 stages and 70+ bands from Boston and across New England reppin the nicest sounds around. It’s all happening July 24-26 in the heart of Davis Square Somerville. 💫 get tix at niceafest.com #boston #indierock

B-sides are like the middle children of releases. Becoming increasingly more rare and forgotten. I like releasing 2 tracks at once. Gives people something extra if they like the first bite or another flavor. If you do enough of them you get to release a b-side comp later on.

The Onion finally got Info Wars. Well done. Fuck you, Alex Jones.

Offset guitars are so common place now that when I see someone get on stage with a strat or an arch top I’m more excited

People spent stupid amounts of money to go to Coachella this weekend, but I played a free show in Boston instead 🤷 still had fun

Hi, we’re Astral Bitch and we’re as loud as we look. Follow along if you dig fuzzed out noise rock music for sentimental weirdos. 📷: @alexmediaguy.bsky.social #fuzz #concertphotography #grunge #noiserock

Revisiting T. Rex’s Dandy in the Underworld as one does. Bolan left this world too soon.

Taking my dog to a beach in Massachusetts before it’s banned for the season again.

Forgot it’s anime Boston weekend until I got on the tufts green line tonight. Thought i walked into an episode of my hero academia for a hot second there. I’m home safe now

Loved this book series. The tv series wasn’t bad either. I trust Coogler to knock this one out of the park.

Ryan Coogler animorphs this is not a drill. Applegate is the realest and it's a real story about kids at war where things do not go well, with gender identity stories that are barely subtextual.

My reaction to anything coming out of the current admin

The White House is seeking $152 million to reopen Alcatraz into an active prison

Today’s hot (but maybe lukewarm?) take: describing a band’s sound as indie rock without anything else descriptive indicates a lack of creativity and music history knowledge.
