I was supremely fortunate to have visited Melbourne twice for my day job and absolutely loved my time there. Incredible city with a thriving music and food scene, not to mention the spectacular wildlife and natural features. Ticked all the boxes for me.

Some more Desertfest photos. Stoned Jesus, Electric Funeral, Oldblood, and Yurmum.

I have the world’s worst idea for a tribute record, hear me out.

We Could Live In New Hope - The Songs of Low, as interpreted by Ween.

Some photos from last week’s excellent Desertfest London event. I might clog my feed with this for a while. Slift, Electrical Funeral, Pallbearer and El Moono.

Some recent shows… Melvins, Sharon Van Etten, Lou Barlow and Bobby Bare Jr, Bob Mould Band (Jason Narducy)

I guess I can only add four photos now? Nick Cave last night at the tour opener in Boston.

Wondering if I start Severance season 2, finally watch Godzilla Minus One or some art movie on Criterion.

I had no idea that Colin Newman and his wife Malka Spigel had a long-running project. I saw them play last week

“Sätt att se” by Dungen is such a stately song. Pretty unique. Are there other examples of this kind of writing style?

Not that it’s any of my business but I distrust people who leave tags and/or stickers on their baseball caps.

Jerkfest was awesome. Thx to @antifade.bsky.social for organizing (I hope that tag is correct). @guitarwolf.bsky.social was the perfect capper.

I always suspected this was true

“Danko/Manuel” is a goddamn masterpiece. I know “Decoration Day” (and to a lesser extent “Outfit”) showed that Jason Isbell could write a lasting song but D/M went to a whole ‘nother level.

With Facebook becoming ever so infested with AI garbage, click bait shit to get views and insane right wingers I figured I’d give this a shot. I’ve had an account for a while but this is my first post (suitable for framing)
