That was my first Henry Threadgill album!
I discovered him because he was in a Dewar’s liquor ad.
Not kidding.

Advantage of being in a band with Sarah Hughes (in addition to her musicality and sweetness): all of her photos effortlessly work as album graphics.

We’re very pro-CD!
The vinyl edition of “Describes Things As They Are” was designed by @nora-mckelvey.bsky.social and the CD version was designed by Brian Grunert, using elements of Nora’s design, but “remixing” them, adding die-cuts and other graphics.
I love both. (CD sold out. Will repress.)

Home studio mixing rig at night,
Excerpt from a recent interview.
I was asked about Arto Lindsay, who we brought in to coproduce this current (unreleased) BP album.
We played shows with Arto and @melvingibbs.bsky.social and it was like being taken to school EVERY NIGHT.
Humbling and inspiring. What they do is pure mastery.❤️

My dog (now almost 5 years old) has rediscovered his favorite orange chair tonight.
He loved it as a puppy. I just found an old photo.
Look at this little dude.😍

My brother has been on a long campaign to convince me that Night King was actually a heroic figure in “Game Of Thrones.”
He has been doing it for years now. Shows no sign of letting up.

I am laughing at myself this morning.
I posted this quote on Facebook last night. I said “This wins my respect.”
And this morning, my friend Kevin commented “Chad, this is not a real interview.”
And it hit me: It’s the fucking Onion! Why did I take it at face value?!?
How am I this dumb?!

Realized yesterday that all BP t-shirts are sold out, but we have not re-pressed them. This is because I am dumb and have not been paying attention.
This is Joanna Peña in the “I enjoyed levitating to the music of Arto Lindsay and Beauty Pill” t-shirt.
Gonna make this one again.
