Saw two sets of mind bending in the round improv from #sml at Thalia Hall last night! XL second set with Ben LaMar Gay and Macie Stewart. Super happy to catch them again this year.

The big group went a bit hard into the “frenzy of sounds” mode for me, but […]

Three sets of #eggy at Thalia Hall last night!
First was acoustic, then two electric. Really ramped up to a peaky S3. Susssudio and Searchlight were favorites.

thoughts on #goose spring tour

- congrats to the FL and TX fans
- 3 two night runs is better than fall and spring of this year i guess
- I take personal offense they didn’t schedule one or more multi night runs in the brutal Midwest winter

Back home after a three days in a cabin in Florence County Wisconsin. Way up north, on the UP border. Dog, toddler and parents had a great time! Wandered around the woods, admired the trees changing colors, paddled on Lost Lake, and listened to the loons […]

#jeffrosenstock and #pup at the Anthem in DC bullets
- Really fun show again. Wasn’t expecting a ton of variation but other cities in between got more change ups. Reminded my friends that like live music but are jam prejudice there is another option…
- Jeff […]

- First time I’ve seen people watching the show from across the river and in boats! Couple big boats but a few kayaks too. Gotta figure out how to do that one of these days 👀

Wilco at the Salt Shed Fairgrounds bullets
- Been 10+ years since I’ve seen Wilco. Jeff and the band were good, Nels was great.
- Two set show so got to hear a ton of songs. Very solid selection. Non-acoustic Spiders would have been nice
- Highlight of the […]

Excellent summer evening: 30 minute bike ride down to Wicker Park Fest with J to catch Liquid Mike and then right back home for his bedtime. Beautiful weather. Liquid Mike delivered the goods (it does help that their only album is 25 minutes long).

Shout […]

Told my neighbors at set break I was hoping for WGTYM this run and some dude the row down turns around and goes YES. So yeah, was pretty happy with N1

Other highlights: Gin and Crosseyed!

It's kinda funny to me that Mastodon implemented "viewing quote posts" before making it possible to create them in Mastodon, and currently the only quote posts I see are from the Bluesky bridge

still feel ready to run through a brick wall. took a shitty phone video of the first verse of Shama because it’s my sons fav Goose song and just realized it also catches Peter saying they blew through curfew. I may have some feelings

#goose at Madison Square Garden Bullets

- Goddamn, that ruled. Marathon of a show (both sets were 110+ minutes I think?) but they went above and beyond. Absolutely crushed their biggest stage yet.
- S1 highlights other than getting goosebumps when Rick does […]

Bullets from Jack’s Mannequin at the Salt Shed:

- Date night show! My wife’s favorite band when we got together in 2010. Lots of tattooed women in their late 30s that knew every word.
- Andrew McMahon is a great frontman for piano rock. Rode an inflatable […]
