So, we got best new music of the week in Pitchfork, BrooklynVegan, and NPR Music… and now, the Yahtzee of the whole thing… the NY Times! www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/a...
Actual conversation at Rough Trade NYC: Me: How many have we sold since yesterday? Them: Way more than Arianna Grande, that’s for sure. A sentence that will remain one of my main talking points for the rest of my life.
I mean, those of you who may think the LP version is the only one to get haven’t marveled at the CD version… (heck, this is the first time I’m marveling at the CD version!) (EL)
the new @shearwaterband.bsky.social album is very good and "still, you gotta live with people" is an excellent all-purpose life refrain
Finally got my hands on a copy of Uncut magazine featuring the only pic of me driving a car ever taken. We’re album of the month: www.uncut.co.uk/reviews/from...

I can’t believe I’m in a band who released a song featuring Laurie Anderson. Life is so strange. Working with her voice has been a pleasure. Playing with her in a month on the radio will be a terrifying joy.
The beguiling voice of Laurie Anderson takes center stage in “You and Your Dog,” the final single from The New World (which will be released in full this Friday). It’s one of our favorite songs we’ve ever made. Full video here: youtu.be/fbyEuLBeKRg?...

Weird to see JM featured so prominently in the NYT society pages! I have no idea if this will help our record or not, or if it makes any difference at all? Thoughts? www.nytimes.com/2026/07/21/t...

Highly recommend Legends on Netflix. I watched bc Steve Coogan but stayed bc of Tom Burke.
People need to grapple with the fact we're in an epistemic crisis that's starting to corrode countless elements of human knowledge.

There have been times in my life where I think my career trajectory is like I’m an NPR Tiny Desk concert somehow plopped into Napalm Death. So I’m stoked to see the opposite come true. youtu.be/e81LZCHhNKQ

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.
Sam Neill should have won an Oscar for this “help I’m being attacked by an invisible Chevy Chase” scene with a stupid looking plastic gun taped to the side of his head
Highly Relatable RIP to Dr Grant, a childhood crush, and a character in the movie I’m most likely to rewatch during a plane flight.

Lindsay Graham was not just one of politics’ greatest worms, he was one of AMERICA’s greatest worms. Now he is in worm heaven, playing with that that great worm rock n roll band. Goodbye forever, monumental worm, you believed in nothing and it all worked out!

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.
