I miss so much not knowing if someone has seen the texts I sent them. No wonder everyone has crippling anxiety now

Over my 20 years of being a fairweather music journo and record store guy, I had pleasant run-ins with both these mugs. There's a part in this article where Ian is talking about how great it was to do a project with his best friend that made me tear up. Hard not to envy a friendship like that.

People who only know Michigan from afar hear me hating on the politics there, and they say "oh c'mon, Whitmer is alright, though, right?". Nooooope. Aside from a couple (admittedly important) social justice issues, her, Nessel, etc are definitely part of the problem. Let's goooo tomorrow, Michigan!

Honored to have played a minor supporting role in the genesis of one of my favorite bands currently operating! Thanks and congrats on the new album @goldenbrownmusic.bsky.social @jeremyerwin.bsky.social @tylerwilcox.bsky.social

I've never had an AI chatbot (which I only use when forced in customer service interactions) offer a useful answer, only falsehoods and feedback loops. It's the most 'Brazil'-ass technology to yet exist, portends of worse to come, and anyone talking in neo-luddite terms now is on the right track.

Terrible news about the passing of the great Louise Lasser. A completely one of a kind talent, and a tragic loss. I was already prepping to start a free Mary Hartman screening series at Dream House Bar next Monday, but it now obviously doubles as a loving tribute to the memory of Louise Lasser.

Can't wait to read this one! Crispin is a great old pal and Legs and the world he navigated in the 1970s has been a point of fascination for me for about three decades now, so this is a match made in... well, the CBGB bathroom, I guess.

Buster sickos miserably through Biffo's window as Biffo and an Uncanny Man enjoy a banquet of delicious treats. There appears to be a blood spatter on the window glass.

I quietly become unduly vexed whenever someone describes my graphic design as "retro" or "throwback", even when they mean it as a compliment. Buddy, there's good design and bad design, it ain't my fault you spend your sad days looking at the bad stuff and thinking it's the baseline

50 years ago. I was mobbed in San Franciso right around this time. It was crazy how many people would slap me and yell at me for being so mean to my mother. And then irony died.

Just found out that my first piece for Esquire, a eulogy for Lou Reed which embraced Lou's most cringe recordings, has been scrubbed from the web.Also can't find it in my Google Drive, though I did find the copy I emailed to the editor in 2013. Should probably bootleg print this old stuff.

I was spoiled by my previous car (which now belongs to my beautiful spouse), which has had zero real problems in 4 years, minus my getting into an accident. The van I got to move two weeks has been thousands of dollars and constant hassle from the jump, and I deeply regret buying it. Fuck cars.

Portland, OR friends: I will be out there for good(ish) starting on Memorial Day, and am looking for a summer sublet! ~May 25-August 30, give or take. Please DM if you have any leads! Looking at more permanent spots, too, but planning to be gone throughout September so it's not my preference.

Killer NYC visit coming to a close. Didn't take many photos that weren't just me and friends to send to other friends, but here's one the great bassist James Ilgenfritz took of me playing a Golden Feelings set at P.I.T. in Williamsburg. I'll make it less than a decade before coming back, I promise.

RIP Sam Kieth, one of my favorites to ever do it. The Maxx was as important to my teenage love of comics as Clowes, Bagge, Pekar, Newgarden, Feazell, et al; without that initial dose of weirdness in an ostensibly mainstream book, I doubt I'd have gone as deep as I ultimately did.

A lot of us in USA would be well served to recall that when we look back on that era we don't call it Germany With Some Nazis we call it Nazi Germany. We don't distinguish between people who silently disapproved or didn't like it but accepted it. We lump them in with the Nazis. And that is correct.
