Taken by a friend today at her house on Glen Park Canyon. SF coyote, apparently melting in today’s 90-degree heat. I imagine its desert dwelling brethren saying, “Bitch, please…”

So, bribing the electorate is pretty much all they’ve got at this point. Check.

Father’s Day present from my daughter finally arrived off backorder. I am going to learn BASS!

“Private equity firm started by Good Charlotte kills iconic music journalism outlets” sums up where we are right now so completely. Brooklyn Vegan has been one of my go-to sites for new music for a long time, especially the weekly Indie Basement feature. So sad. pitchfork.com/story/brookl...

One of the highlights for us was the delirious queerness of the Dolores Stage. One of our favorite Drag Race queens, Lydia B. Kollins, headlined Saturday night. #OutsideLands

It was a full weekend of XX joy, with the band’s amazing Saturday night performance and Romy’s Friday DJ set. #OutsideLands

Charli XCX is amazing, obviously. #OutsideLands

I’ll admit to having subscribed to the “Geese is a psyop” theory, but they definitely can perform. #OutsideLands

Die Spitz killed it. I am now a fan. #OutsideLands

TFW the check-out person at Amoeba rings up your vinyl and says, “These are excellent picks, and I don’t just say that to everyone.”

Well, we can all hope Nolan at least makes the giant cyclops historically accurate.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing both of these men live. Thank you, Mr. Colbert.

Full album dropped today. The DEVO is strong with this one. My inner 14 year-old is overjoyed.

Robyn Hitchcock at the The Chapel tonight. Been a fan for 40 years. Underwater Moonlight (Soft Boys) and Element Of Light are absolutely essential listens.

Quite zany, even by Avalanches standards, but I am here for it.

Been a fan since her 2013 Cut 4 You mixtape. The guitar-driven sound on this is a long way from that Night Slugs era electronica, but it still grooves.

Love the gated snare sound. This absolutely delivers.

Some close friends worked at Palantir in the early days, but were smart enough to get out when its evil started becoming clear.

So, the last couple weeks have been loaded with new music, and I am still digesting it all. The latest by Robber Robber is definitely a highlight. Hits the post-punk/shoegaze/grunge sweet spot! tidal.com/album/473256...
