31 years ago today I saw Whale open for Blur at Axis in Boston. Seeing Blur in those days was great, they were huge in the UK but still playing clubs here. And Whale were of course WILD. Always pleased to be reminded of this song www.youtube.com/watch?v=2up7...

Met Derek Riggs today. So cool that he came to the comic shop next to my hometown. I am forever in awe of those Maiden covers. Was gonna wear a Maiden shirt but glad I went with my yellow lacrosse shorts ensemble to match his Mr. Happy shirt

A band named Socks but as in the act of hitting. They hate it when they’re confused with footwear. Which, let’s face it, is all the time

My first album came out fifteen years ago today, which is both “A While Ago” and “Not As Long Ago As I Thought”. Might black out the sun for a little bit later to celebrate, because I do what I like. So watch out for that. #IMakeMyOwnFun #YoureWelcome

Last Saturday I finished Shadow Ticket for the third time and, just like with Inherent Vice after take three, I was so sad it was over I just started it again the very next day. It’s so great. And he must’ve been having such fun repeatedly typing ‘the Al Capone of Cheese in Exile’
