Thanks, but I prefer the Gene Tyranny solo work.

YES. People who come to the stage to mock the act of singing and the love of music are cowards and don’t deserve a spot on the list.

Saw Pile in DC, and it was cathartic. I am healed.

Don’t get caught up on the number. It’s all about holding on to the curious, playful parts of yourself for as long as possible. Old versions of yourself have already died. This one will too.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

This is the thing. MySpace Tom didn’t make us listen to his fucking band!

Feeling so nostalgic for MySpace Tom. We didn’t know what we had.

Falling down the Geese rabbit hole, and a friend just pointed out that the singer’s mom is a famous Brooklyn polyamory influencer.

I tried this game the other day, and I don’t know man… Games like this are Baby Einstein toys for grown ups. Look at the crazy visual shit! Numbers get big! Fanfare! Massive damage!

What your local playground didn’t have a concrete pipe that people took shits in? I just assume everyone had this kind of upbringing.

Finally opened this today, and the only childhood memory it evokes is the concrete pipe at the playground that people regularly shat in. I can get into a funky coffee, but no…

Fantastic review. I haven’t even heard the album yet, but I had to read your review stem to stern. 10.0.

I’m sure I’ll still be around. Just gotta break the habit of constantly opening these apps.

I’ve been having a mysterious health issue for about a year that cleared up almost instantly when I got off the internet. I’m just going to pop in from time to time, mainly for new music and possible ALWW stories.

We sold 248. Thanks again everybody.

One of these days I’m gonna visit. Maybe I’ll become a refugee!

Industrial tortillas fry up nicely too. Man, I would have imagined that masa would be ubiquitous in Brazil. I know nothing about Brazilian food!

Amazing brand. Of course the best brand is the unlabeled and noticeably greasy ziplock bag at the local market.

Seasoned Doritos are grandfathered in, but I refuse to accept subpar totopos when tortillas and oil are everywhere.

On a playground with my kids right now, but I’ll count up the orders when I get back and tell you how large this edition was. Thanks again to @bottlenecknyc.bsky.social for helping me out with the shipping.

That’s a wrap! Thanks to everyone who turned up again for my extremely irregular show. I really appreciate having an audience for this work. Time to start collecting material for A Life Well Wasted 10.
robertashley.bsky.social
Hey thanks man. The posters are selling nicely, and they’re really expensive! I’m just happy for the show to have an audience.
