I've waited waaaay too long to finally see Silkworm. Andy Cohen is an understated guitar genius and @timmidyett.bsky.social has my favorite bass sound outside of my brother @theoso.bsky.social. I really hope they're able to do more things together in the near future.

Happy 75th birthday to the living legend who's crafted some of my favorite songs, and inarguably the greatest run of records in music history. Multi-instrumentalist, activist, pioneer, genius. I hope your love is getting all the love it needs today, Little Stevie Wonder.

Had to pause today for Bill & Doug's Excellent Adventure from Piece Pizza. Hot Doug's Hungarian sausage, Yukon gold spuds, roasted garlic, scallions & cheese on a delicious horseradish cream sauce base. It benefits @pawschicago.bsky.social, and when you buy one, a donation worth DOUBLE gets made.
