It was beautiful to hear Clogs’ “Last Song,” featuring Matt Berninger, in last week’s episode of Dark Matter on AppleTV+ 🥀 The recording first appeared on Clogs’ 2010 album The Creatures in the Lady Garden, and later on a three-track Last Song EP for the song’s video.

👋 Hi from the Aron(e)s direct from the land of "broken up" bands An unexpected joys of making music is discovering that it finds people after you've stopped touring or releasing records. So huge thanks to Kelela for this shout-out a few weeks back on NTS radio's "What music you got on your phone?"

Honored to this day that Glen Hansard wrote about our 2009 release The Conformist, praising Doveman's "profound sense of song. He's not afraid to go in, in where the good stuff is, in where you might get lost without a compass, in and deeper in." Because that's how we felt about Glen.

As one commenter on Hannah Georgas @Hannahgeorg social media accounts put it “How do you keep joining my favorite bands?” She's now a touring member Broken Social Scene — and their 2026 dates kick off TODAY in Austin running through October across the US, UK, Europe, and Canada.
