Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 07/10/2026J.H. Walsh was born on this day in 1869. One of the most effective organizers in the early Industrial Workers of the World, Walsh played a huge role in creating the Little Red Songbook. Far less known than Joe Hill or Big Bill Haywood, Walsh was no less colorful. (That's him with the bass drum.) 141
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Kind of like Steve Carrell, and kind of like Syril Karn from Andor 010

Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 11/10/2025Riley Mulherkar, Rafiq Bhatia and Ian Chang (left to right) took full advantage of the sound system last night at Hope Center for the Arts in Springfield with a performance that was visceral, immersive and, in its way, meditative. Very cool show. 140
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 29/08/2025Maybe especially talk to your English professors 040
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Walkie-talkie life is great. Essential part of my EDC 140

Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Somebody gave me a bumper sticker that reads, "You can go to Hell, I'm going to Western Mass," and I don't quite have the guts to put it on my car. 3231
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 19/04/2025Caught @perennialtheband.bsky.social last night at UMass with Debbie Dopamine and Jaded in Paradise (from Manchester, CT) and it was, as expected, beautiful sonic mayhem. Someone asked if I was a professor, which is better than thinking I was a cop 0132

Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Hadn't seen Ted Leo perform in ages before seeing him and the Pharmacists rip it up at the Iron Horse last night. Not only did the songs from "Shake the Sheets" sound amazing, he introduced me to the Irish folk singer Lisa O'Neill with a cover of "Rock the Machine." Phew. 050
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Calvin Coolidge's former home in Northampton is displaying an upside down American flag, and not in an Samuel Alito insurrectionist way 0110
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Serious business here from the Social Security Administration with Slam the Scam 130
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Saw Chuck Prophet last night at the Iron Horse in Northampton, and he and his cumbia band were excellent. He's a showman, in his laid back way, and kind of a low-key nut in the best way possible. I'm glad he's out there doing his thing. 1110
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Could also be all of @adamzucker.bsky.social's band Outro, which would make for a weird therapy dynamic 020
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Fantastic Cat's bio last year was kind of along those lines, which makes sense, in that Anthony D'Amato worked as a publicist for a while. (When I saw them in December, he said, "Do you miss my emails?" 020
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Holy God @perennialtheband.bsky.social were sheer anarchy onstage and 100 percent amazing. 2252
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 18/01/2025At the Drake, where @radicaljoy.bsky.social slayed. Next up: @perennialtheband.bsky.social! 0101
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Still can't figure out why anyone cares what a drug-addled, union-busting, unelected, extremist-supporting loudmouth thinks about anything 020
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 18/11/2024The maga cockroaches one? Interesting. This is what it looks like on my end 110
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 13/09/2024We were there for a long weekend in June after school let out in Madrid. It was great! Except for this: 200

Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 05/12/2023Found a great turn of phrase in an Industrial Union Bulletin from 1907 referring to the Rocky Mountain News as "a capitalist sheet, which was a tissue of lies ..." 000
Eric R. Danton @erdanton.bsky.social · 27/10/2023Spotted a copy of @stevenhyden.bsky.social’s Radiohead book in the wild at Molar in Madrid 020
