Being bloodthirsty enough to sentence a human being to die, yet unwilling or unable to properly execute the execution due to incompetence and indifference is the most American thing I’ve ever heard, actually 🦅 🇺🇸

I have never done a patreon before or paid for a substack or any of that stuff, because I'm a cheapskate and I'm cranky, too. But I just ponied up for this, because it sounds cool as shit.

I've actually never done cocaine before, but I'm nothing if not a team player. Happy to be part of the Halloween cover band massacree at Tubby's, playing music by one of the most reviled bands ever. ALL BALD BAND. #ivehadaroughnightandIhatethefuckingeaglesman

The Eagles first album cover, but above the eagle (with "eagles" written across it) it says "bald." More text reads: Tubby's Kingston Halloween, Tickets on sale now. Below the eagle is an egg wearing glasses.

Local pals: mark yr calendar. My solo shows are vanishingly rare, and this one is a great double bill at the greatest bar in the world.

Beautiful memorial gathering for our beloved Marlon Cherry at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery. Played bass with dear Syd Straw and heard from a roomful of people who all loved our sweet friend.

Almost 25 years ago my friend Mark Donato wrote this & sang & played drums on it. I played guitars & bass an produced quickly & cheaply. It was for a Village Voice charity LP in response to 9-11. Rejected in favor of an LP of songs like "New York, New York" & "Amazing Grace," mostly by non-NYers.

I once saw Elvis Costello (1983 or so, with the Attractions) come out for an encore in a gorilla suit and sing “Cha Dooky Do.” It was puzzling.

It's out TODAY! 🎵🖤 At rosine.bandcamp.com Also at subvert.fm/rosine and of course all of the streaming sites. If you enjoy it, I would so appreciate you telling others about it. Cover painting by Nancy Howell.

RIP Gloria Steinem. In the 1980s, I was in a bookstore waiting in line to buy a copy of an Evelyn Waugh book. Long line. Finally got to the front, plopped my book on the table and a puzzled Gloria Steinem looked up at me, wondering why some dude wanted her to sign an Evelyn Waugh book.

Rare Bob Dylan clips and Bill Frisell! NYC, you are not always terrible.

I've been working on this for a few years. It went through many phases & there's a lot of frankly bizarre unsuccessful stuff on the cutting room floor. I played a ton of instruments from fretless guitar to kalimba & of course basses & guitars. It's dedicated to the memories of my sister & my father.

Remake of THE WARRIORS set in Kingston NY. With a bounty on their heads, the Warriors have to get from the Rondout back to Uptown in time for trivia at Rough Draft while surviving ceremonial cacao stores, pop-up wellness centers, an Alice Coltrane tribute band at Tubby's, and Warren Buffet's son.

I'm not sure I've ever felt as entranced at a concert as I did at last night's Bill Frisell trio show at the Village Vanguard. I would have happily kept listening to them for hours and hours.

A delightful thing I do is fall asleep on the train or bus and when everyone else has exited and the conductor or driver comes by and wakes me up I scream in abject terror.

Haven’t looked at etsy in a while but fiverr, which i would use now and then for weird tech tasks i couldn’t do myself (video or audio editing) and sometimes cheap session players (don’t judge me!), is now overrun with AI slop.
