I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

This is what talk radio sounded like before Howard Stern & Rush Limbaugh turned it into a circus. Jean Shepherd was an eloquent & melancholy barroom raconteur who wore the pose of an Everyman, without dumbing anything down or appealing to his listeners’ worst instincts. youtube.com/watch?v=jK3z...

So nice that there's a blue butterfly tribute to Dolly at the top of the page in here.

Who amongst us - doesn’t miss the glory days of 1980s-90s indie rock clubs? Here’s a smorgasbord of essays about long lost (and a few still operating) clubs across America by dozens of different writers - I wrote about Scorgies in Rochester, NY. - several of my changes were there.

Wasn't expecting Social Distortion to drop a pretty nifty version of Wicked Game on a random Tuesday in 2026, but here we are...

We are fortunate enough to own a house, so every now and then I can crank up an amp to performance volume and let 'er rip for a bit. I don't do this often, but I just did for a short while this afternoon. #Guitar #Bass #Therapy #SelfCare

I don't know how the phrase "tree hugger" can ever be seen as an insult. Hugging trees is a great. Even better is waking up in a tree's arms and telling it your dreams.

I keep coming up with silly posts about the latest triumphal bullshit, but then I just delete them because none of this is the least bit amusing.

My EP got mastered today, so there's some good news. Release date will be Friday, October 2nd on Bandcamp.

Counting down. This Monday evening will be the first of three practice sessions before our trio's final public performance on October 17th. Feels a bit odd, but not in a bad way. It's been a good run.

If you're a US citizen complaining about O Canada being sung at a Bills game along with your own anthem, you are terrible at being a neighbor to anyone.

I do hope others have noticed that the Bowie song that the geniuses at Meta have chosen for their latest 60 second ad is about there being five years left until the end of the fucking world.

Well shit. I should go put on my Sonic Reducer 45 and pogo around the place. Very sorry to hear this news.

Ridiculously happy. The EP is done. Did the final two guitar bits earlier today, took a break and then reviewed all five mixes. Pretty sure we're set to bounce them down and move on to mastering.

Gave a fresh ears review this morning of yesterday's work, and can happily announce that the vocal is a keeper. I will add some fills and fancy guitar bits today, but after that this'll be Song Five done and dusted.

Been thinking all day of the incredible, humane outpouring of hospitality and generosity afforded by our Canadian neighbors to the passengers of airline flights redirected to Canadian airports on that terrible 9/11 25 years ago. We are family. 🇨🇦

Been getting into the (hopefully) final mixing tonight. Just backed up the work and shut down the studio. Time to rest the ears.

This is wonderful. A quick read, it's an excerpt from a book that I will no doubt buy, as it looks like terrific pre-mid-terms reading.

rick murnane @rickmurnane.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Four songs are DONE. One to go. Vocals and a couple of guitar tracks. If you think I'm pleased, you are correct.

Okay, yes. I did end up working on one of the EP songs today. Lead vocals and three harmony channels. Very pleased.

Yesterday @hilltowngrrl.bsky.social and I got three vax jabs. Covid, flu, and the first of two doses against shingles. So today we have sore arms and are basically just goofing off and lazing around the house.

In the studio today. Not working. PLAYING.

Saddened this week by many things, but notably the passing of #CassandraWilson and #GloriaSteinem. Condolences to their loved ones. Massive respect to both.

Did some little mixing tweaks today. Because you hear what needs doing when you have fresh ears.

More guitars tracked this afternoon, so that makes the third song of five completed. Still planning on a Fall release.

I will never be able to adequately describe how wonderful and just plain worthwhile Tom's books are. Have some faith, people. I would not steer you wrong. Buy them all. Start here, maybe.

Got the final bits tracked on another of the five songs. Kinda pleased with myself, because I WANT to keep working but my ears are tired and I have allowed myself to quit for the day.

My freshman year of college I won $100 for taking first place in a campus lip sync contest as Frank-n-Furter. One of the judges said I won not just for my stellar act but because I had “the balls” to perform in a costume of lingerie borrowed from women in my dorm.

@lennyzenith.bsky.social New follow here. My wife sent me a link to a videoclip of yours on insta, and it was brilliant. Figured I'd look you up in here as I'm not on any of the meta sites. Good to see you.

Some of the richest people in the world want a racial caste system, and they want scholarly backing for that in the form of racist pseudoscience. And a lot of ostensibly non racist people quietly agree, and don’t like to see those who peddle that pseudoscience excluded from mainstream institutions.
