Fuck me if I'm not depressed lately. My dad just came out of the hospital, my girlfriend and I broke up after 11 years, and my mothers in a nursing home and my dogs paw is injured. At least I got my health!

As long as this platform remains (somewhat) relevant I'd like to say to anyone considering doing Kratom to be very careful, bc it's extremely fucking addictive and possibly the single hardest drug to quit bc it takes SO LONG to get over. The pain, insomnia and anxiety last FOREVER when u try to quit

The best and healthiest method of dealing with the innumerable assholes online in comment sections is to just tell them off in a sentence or two, and then block them. My block list is infinitely longer than my friends list on several platforms now. I hate more people than I like, by far.

Today was Day 1 of what I hope is a period of improving my guitar playing significantly. Starting with the difficult task of learning Johnny Ramone's downstroke method on the first two Ramones records. Gonna take a little bit to get the strength to master that! Then onto some English blues I think.

I'd be so appreciative if one day people actually told me on occasion that I've released a lot of great music over the last 26 years. Especially other musicians I admire. Been patiently waiting all these years but so far... No. I don't do a lot to promote it- gets real depressing getting no response

Disappointed that nowhere near the amount of people who should have fled X are here now. I don't care, I don't want anything to do with that right wing propaganda pushing platform ever again.

@timdelaughter.bsky.social hey Tim, how's the new Tripping Daisy album coming along? I only ask bc it was mentioned in an interview I recall hearing some months ago... Hope yr doing well:)

Today, to honor the 10 year anniversary of David Bowie's passing, I purchased a first print vinyl edition of Blackstar. Used to have it on CD but lost it in the July 4th Texas flood.

@michaelstipe.bsky.social wishing you a very Happy Birthday today Michael! Thank you for gifting the world with your incredible voice, lyrics and songwriting, as well as taking a firm stance for the liberal cause in America.

@imjedi.bsky.social I was listening to the OG Feeler album yesterday, and reminded of how awesome it is (and I love HB/SA too) but I was curious - what could possibly be the reason the label gave for rejecting Feeler? It totally rocks so it's a complete mystery to me!

The hard lesson I learned this Christmas is not to order from any company that uses 3rd party delivery services like 17track or p2p - BOTH cannot find my house simply because it's in a slightly rural location. USPS and Amazon never have a problem. TeePublic and Shawn Craft both use them so BEWARE!

@michaelazerrad.bsky.social hey Michael, can you remind me who Kurt was kinda angry with for stealing some of his personal fashion? I know it's mentioned in the book but I cannot remember offhandedly.

I gotta say, I've learned about so much music over the last 17 years or so of being a SiriusXM subscriber. Now playing their 1st Wave Deep Cuts channel, and it's great. And I still got 2 episodes of "Dark Wave" to catch up on. When Howard quits it's gonna be hard for me to ever cancel.

People jump onto any chance of a rugged white guy they see as sufficiently blue collar (his grandfather designed Windows on the World) because they want to prove that there’s a dormant white progressive wing that would vote Democrat save for “identity politics.”

My biggest songwriting influences are John Frusciante and Syd Barrett. Beyond those primary two are many others. But they will always be the most important in anything I do.

The new NiN Tron soundtrack is disappointing. With a couple of exceptions it's really no different than any of Trent and Atticus' soundtrack works. It was a mistake to make it a NiN album.

All of Britt Daniel's demos for the last 25 years if not more RULE. @spoontheband.bsky.social know it cause they've been putting them out as extras for a very long time now in various reissues and online, etc

I hope all things Disney suffer greatly as a result of suspending Kimmel. I hate Disney anyway, every company they're ever involved with they ruin. ABC was kinda an edgy network in the mid 90s before Disney got involved. I hate all things family friendly anyway but Disney is the worst.

Erasure are a far more psychedelic group than I think they're given credit for. I think they're aware of it though - just watch any videos from Chorus or I Say... for proof.

@endofanear.com don't know if you guys did it or the shop pay app, but not really feeling the new 2 payments deal. Four was way better, and was easier to use to buy records from the store. Two payments makes it more difficult.

@youthisfading.bsky.social offhand I really recommend the new project Drink The Sea that Peter Buck does with Barrett Martin and Alain Johannes among others. It's the coolest stuff I've heard in a while... You can get a full band signed CD from Barrett's website for 25 bucks. I'm waiting on mine atm

@michaelstipe.bsky.social @millsish.bsky.social currently watching your @remhq.bsky.social Austin City Limits performance from 2008 again on DVD. GREAT performance, and Bill Rieflin was an excellent pick for the drums I think. I particularly like it bc you were promoting Accelerate which I love.

Someone has got to tell Chris Collinsworth to stop saying "tush push" hundreds of times every time he covers Jalen Hurts on NBC. Shits extremely annoying.

I've really come to love the 2 disc reissue of Spoon's They Want My Soul album. The demos are numerous and a revelation. Highly recommend - and the album itself is among my favs of theirs anyway.

I ordered 5 Peter Hammill solo albums over the last 24 hours, which means I will soon own his entire 1970s solo discography. He's easily one of my fav songwriters, and a profound influence on my own stuff.

I wanna shout out Samaritan's Purse for the amazing and wonderfully generous help they have provided me since the flood in Texas on July 4th. FEMA and the Red Cross turned me down, but they didn't. Highly recommend this great Christian charity relief group.

@vincemancini.bsky.social it should be noted also perhaps that while the show has suffered, Howard himself is still very sharp and quick witted, with a number of interesting things to say still. I have no doubt he will succeed in another format should he choose to. But not the show as we know it.

Z. Biggs @timesupply.bsky.social · 13/08/2025
@vincemancini.bsky.social nice write up on the Howard Stern drama, but I would say that if you HAD been listened these last few years, esp since COVID, u would know the show isn't as funny anymore. Bad bits and comstant impressions. I attribute it to being locked up at home and not caring as much.

Z. Biggs @timesupply.bsky.social · 10/08/2025
I have an idea who one of the 2 sources is. I'm still thinking about who is the other one... Fascinating development that 2 staffers would publicly air their grievances - better hope Howard doesn't find out nypost.com/2025/08/09/e...

@stephenking.bsky.social one of my favorite things you ever wrote was the short story "The Moving Finger". It's clearly an absurd concept but utterly hilarious as the main character descends into madness.

@richardblade.bsky.social hey Richard, I heard a song today on First Wave that I can only describe in the hopes you might know it - it's clearly an 80s production with a male and female singing in harmony throughout, with a vibraphone or something repeating the melody with them entirely. I think...

I think 2006-2009 was the last golden period of indie music releases. I've been rediscovering much great stuff from then, and I know for a fact there was a great scene in Austin then, cause I was in it with the mostly unknown band School Police (on BC). Peter and the Wolf and Bill Baird come to mind

Gonna go see the band Lifeguard in Austin in 2 days. First show in quite a while for me... Way too many problems to solve to have time or money for it. I was really impressed when they opened for Horsegirl a couple years ago tho so I'm def looking forward to seeing them again.

Z. Biggs @timesupply.bsky.social · 15/07/2025
The punk band Angelface are the greatest. They are an offshoot from the incredible Japanese 90s punk band Teengenerate, and every bit as good imo. Fink, the lead songwriter is a genius imo. I have all of their stuff on vinyl but I'm still prob not cool enough to work at Breakaway Records.

Z. Biggs @timesupply.bsky.social · 15/07/2025
For posterity's sake I just wanna note that my entire home studio, and everything in it, were swept away in the July 4th flood of 2025. And it sucks majorly. But the house survived and no one died. My American made fender strat was found and is being repaired... Everything else so far is GONE. SUCKS

Z. Biggs @timesupply.bsky.social · 15/07/2025
Real quick - fuck Breakaway Records in Austin. I have applied 3 times to work there over the years and never once got a response - guess I'm not cool enough. Def not cool enough to spend another cent there, that's for sure.

@kxan.com Travis County continues to not be available for FEMA disaster relief. Sandy Creek is within Travis Co and was devastated. On top of that we don't have a cell phone tower, which means after the power went out we were unable to even receive any warnings anyway. This should be a bigger story
