That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Man, it’s way too late, but I shoulda responded “Never forget!” to this one. 010
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Our neighbor wanted to give my wife some persimmons and this is how it was communicated to me… 120
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026As it turns out, there are hundreds of math tutors explaining concepts on Youtube, and that is how we survived. 020
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The other night I ate a weed gummy (as the prophecy foretold) and went to the laundromat and went for a nice long walk and brought the laundry home and both the laundry and I were feeling nice and toasty. And THEN my kid announced that they needed my help understanding their Algebra II homework. 251
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Musician I have played with in the past: Aw man, I really wish you were playing this gig with us next weekend. Me: So… why didn’t you ask me to? That’s step one, right? 030
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Sure, George Harrison had enough backlog of unrecorded songs when the Beatles broke up that he was able to release an outstanding triple-album. But can we be real? Have you heard the third disc? Ain’t nobody listening to that third disc. 010
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Downfall of capitalism/American Empire update: They’re closing the Starbucks across El Camino from where we live. If Starbucks isn’t making it, none of us are. 010
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I never noticed until tonight how similar the songs “Her Majesty” and “They’re Red Hot” are in both song style and structure, as well as their placement and function as album closer for their respective albums “Abbey Road” and “Blood Sugar Sex Magik”. In this essay, I will… 020
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Also, I’m sure Andrew paid upwards of $15k (possibly more) to convert his basement into a functioning recording studio so that we could track “for free”. 011
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Fun in financing your own album (Dogcatcher edition): After paying out all of the digital and vinyl and streaming money plus a small profit from ticket sales of our album release show… We’re only at -$3000 now! (Total cost of having the album mixed professionally and pressed to vinyl ~$5000) 100
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Unreal! Lucky to be any part of all this nonsense! 010
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 22/09/2026As it turns out, we are playing on the same day as Robert Plant at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, and they’ll never be able to take that away from me. Come see us, Sun, Oct 4th at 12:35 PM in Golden Gate Park, then go see Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin (wut!) at 4:30. And a whole bunch others. 120
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Me: Oh cool, look. They added Robert Plant to Hardly Strictly. Will probably be a completely different day and stage and time slot from us. My friend: You’re opening for Led Zeppelin. End of story. 140

That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Lemme follow that up with: There were 4 [FOUR] CBD-for-pets booths(?!?!?) that had entirely AI-generated banners/product art. What the fuck is going on? 120
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The amount of AI generated banners, let alone actual products, at our local Art & Wine festival is extremely disconcerting. 120

That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Yeah, appears so. A lot of Bay Area friends were trying for the Los Angeles show since that was the closest (6 hours away), and that one seemed particularly impossible to get into. 000
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I didn’t want her to miss another opportunity and we’ve been meaning to make our way out there to visit her. There weren’t any Bay Area dates this time around so I just got it in my head that we were going to DC and going to take my aunt and then I magically got tix and have to figure the rest out 100
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 11/09/2026It’s not so much a tour as it is limited spot dates where he’s playing the Songs In The Key Of Life double-album front to back for it’s 50th anniversary. There’s a backstory where my aunt was going to come from VA to Oakland for the 40th and we had tix for her but then she couldn’t come. 100

That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Me texting a band leader/videographer back in March: Hey, I’ve got an album release show in April. Can I pay you to film the show? Videographer: I’ll call you tonight! ::never calls me:: 110
That Funky Monkey @subsonicmonkey.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Fun that I get to do this again! (Play bass for Miko at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass - Oct 2-4 - Golden Gate Park - San Francisco - hella FREE!) 010
