If anyone’s in the Montclair, NJ area tonight, the band I write for is playing at Tierney’s & they have advance copies of the upcoming album that I co-wrote. Real physical things you can hold. The actual album will be out 10/30 I think. Pre-add it here on streaming. orcd.co/meetmeatthem...

Wow- sounds cool. I really enjoy FDC and I bet the cemetery is great. Haven’t been to enough shows this year with all of my work intensity. I even had to miss the Cure in Scotland. Seeing Swervedriver in Dec but hopefully I get to see more music before then. Any other fun shows coming up?

Yeah, stupid work thing. Timing just didn’t work. Everyone in my crazy rock n roll adventure crew is going through something right now so none of us could go. I’m going to be bummed about this for a long time but hopefully they’ll tour again next year. And I can learn his to get the setlist.

The real and actual Cure. Robert looks like he’s 67 (which he is) but holy shit they sound amazing. I saw them 3 years ago and it was one of the best shows I’ve been to ever.

Since I can’t go see the Cure in Edinburgh tomorrow, this week’s playlist is a a tour through their catalog. I tried (and failed) to limit myself to 3 songs per album. Not pretending this list is perfect, but these are the songs that speak to me at this moment. Check it out: discover.fm/michael

join the guided journey through Swervedriver's music with @temkin.bsky.social. Michael says, "it's a crime that they were never the biggest band in the world." let him know if you agree.

@annaleehq.bsky.social I really need some beginner lessons from you on getting set lists at big shows. Somehow people have managed to get set lists from these giant festival shows the cure is playing, and I’m supposed to go to one in August in Edinburgh.

A dog who has had far too much to drink at a party, watched his girlfriend kiss a rival, and announced "LEAVE ME ALONE MATTHEW, I'm just going to stay here in the road forever" and who I am now trying to gently and sympathetically reason with, while I also try to decide whether it would be a good or bad idea to tell him I am not called Matthew.
