@henrybernstein.bsky.social is a legend for his field reports. He included me in this one. The Dublin show was amazing! Look for my review in The Dylan Review soon!

The coolest thing from the Modern Literature museum. A rare illustrated copy of Ulysses illustrated by Matisse.

Thanks @rhettmiller.bsky.social for a giving us such a fantastic performance at The Mucky Duck last night. From the set list, to the arrangements and phrasing, to the energy, and the charm, it was one of the best shows I’ve seen. Can’t wait for you to come around again.

I am so excited to recommend my dear friend‘s book. It’s essential for anyone who is beginning their career, has been affected by layoffs, or is seeking a change. Don’t miss it!
I’ve spent my career helping others grow… and learning (sometimes the hard way) to do the same myself.

That journey inspired Meta Moves — a journal about building the habits, relationships, and mindset to own your career.

Agreed!
Album of The Year - I’m calling it.

Can’t think of a record like it, somehow it’s Joni’s Blue meets Costello’s Imperial Bedroom, but it’s not directly either. Deep smart songs, gorgeous orchestration, impeccably sung, w/lines that surprise you and unlock differently or more each time. Delicious.
10 indie folk songs with cinematic strings. Streaming everywhere at this link 💙

The honor was mine. @t0mbstoneblues.bsky.social was a delight to chat with about the historical and cultural importance of Dylan’s work and liver performance. I, too, love this chat. Hope you do as well.
It was such an honour to be invited onto Erin Callahan's wonderful podcast, and I so loved this conversation. Hopefully you will too
