March of 2005, I had opened a show for Robyn Hitchcock at The Iron Horse in Northampton, MA. After, a group of us found our way to a nearby open mic. Left to right: Lloyd Cole, Robyn Hitchcock, Chris Collingwood, Me, and Brian Marchese. With Hitchcock at the helm...
It's 2026 and we've got CDs of my upcoming solo album "Almost Always Overwhelmed" cookin' at the ol' CD cookier. It comes out on March 6.

You heard me. CDs.

Somewhere out there in a parallel universe, a meteorologist is explaining how heavy the forecasted golden retrievers will be by comparing them to freezing rain.
This is one of the best meteorological graphics I've ever seen

How many songs can history hold? I think it's infinite. What a thing to fill up the universe with. Every sound travels forever.
We closed the studio door against the cold and crazy world and lost ourselves in arranging and nurturing three songs for our upcoming recording session.

Thanks to the legend Jim Neill for playing my new single "You, So I" on WRSI tonight. The single comes out on Feb 6 followed by the album, "Almost Always Overwhelmed" on March 6.

It's nice to hear it on the airwaves.

One year ago today we released The Wrong Record (@gentlehen.bsky.social). Since then this ragtag bunch of misfits songs have been having a dreamy time road tripping around the virtual world, seeping out of speakers and headphones and into the ears of monsters and angels.

Not liking something because it's popular is just as lazy as liking something because it's popular.

I've a new single coming out on Feb 6 called "You, So I". It's a pretty simple love song of sorts, something I figure people could use around now. I'm reaching out to DJs, podcasters, music writers. But what about you? Are you a DJ etc? I'd love to get you an advance "copy". Send me a DM? Thanks!

I've never been happier with a remix/remaster than I am with the new Globe of Frogs by @robynhitchcock.bsky.social. Everything has comes to life. You can finally hear the heart and urgency. It's a thousand times larger and a thousand times more intimate. New details and ideas. What a victory.

I just wrote out the liner notes for my next album, Almost Always Overwhelmed, which should be out in the beginning of March. It feels sort of real now.

I'm listening to Candy Apple Grey for the first time in a while and I'm being reminded of just how many times I had this cassette going in my Walkman.
