John Linnell @linnell.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Got this very inexpensive chinese synth over the summer, and yesterday updated it with some 3rd party firmware (undoubtedly AI vibe coded, I know, awful). Now it's a cute little DAW for under $100. Personally I write music and program it the old fashioned way so don't hate me for this. 9949

John Linnell @linnell.bsky.social · 07/10/2025Brian Dewan built this desk for me more than thirty years ago. Since then I’ve taken it apart and moved it five times. It’s now in it’s sixth studio and being readied for it’s fourth decade of service. 5937

John Linnell @linnell.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Strolling around San Diego today I visited this monument depicting a sailor sexually assaulting a dental hygienist on V-J day. The name of the 25 foot high computer generated kitsch, if you weren’t already creeped out by what it depicts, is “Unconditional Surrender.” 8762
John Linnell @linnell.bsky.social · 19/04/2025Minuteman Statue, Lexington MA Given the ongoing debate about how we commemorate our history I just want to add a shoutout to D. Boon and the Minutemen, punk rock soldiers who deserve their own monument. camera: Argus Matchmatic 0606

John Linnell @linnell.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Not to dump on Ohio, which has some fine qualities, but this gallery of Ohio born presidents doesn’t exactly make the case for great leadership. 2739
John Linnell @linnell.bsky.social · 21/01/2025For everyone who despairs that this is somehow where the story ends, take heart and remember that the struggle for the rights of marginalized and oppressed people, and the work towards a healthy and sustainable planet earth never ends. We’re still here! But maybe it’s time to ditch the Tesla. 917942

John Linnell @linnell.bsky.social · 24/12/2024This photo is only a fraction of the stag trophies on the wall at Brodick Castle on the island of Arran, Scotland UK. Someone with a stronger stomach than me performed an impressive amount of taxidermy. 3483
John Linnell @linnell.bsky.social · 15/12/2024TMBG at the Orpheum Theater in Boston last night. We saw some of our first rock shows here in the early '70s. 3591

John Linnell @linnell.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Mark "Loveman" Pender shatters ears with his trumpet at the 9:30 club in D.C. this past Monday. John Flansburgh and I are sheltering behind the drums. 1480
John Linnell @linnell.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Enjoyed some high quality pie and mash in Leeds last month. Afterwards I was magnetically drawn to the Victorian frenzy of domes and turrets that adorn Kirkgate Market. If I were a bat I’d be up there with a tiny top hat and a monocle. 1576
