We hit the Eastern US a week from today!

Wow. I've always been fascinated by the story of the little corner building and the fact that it's losing its Macy's connection says a lot about the current state of "the world's largest store." ephemeralnewyork.wordpress.com/2026/07/27/h...

Last week I figured out how you can duct tape some stuff together on Bluesky to make it work like a platform just for music. It's really easy and you don't need to code or anything. I put together some instructions so my friends can do it too. Reply with your shiny new music feed!

Continuing (and hopefully concluding) our efforts to put Hanukkah tickets into the hands of fans, the many many tickets flagged as purchased by scalpers and bots have been cancelled, and will be re-sold in a lottery through Ticketmaster Request… (cont’d ->)

Just beautiful. I love trees. Trees all day for me. ‘Trees’, by Tomioka Soichiro, 1961.

A very Gleeson forward tune from my fav jazz album of the 70s that isn't by Alice Coltrane. Absolutely still sounds like future music. I'd pay a dollar to see Miles' face the first time he heard this youtu.be/g2hK6_o5Pdw?...

i’m pretty sure summer ’85 was the 1st dead tour that one could follow via net.music.gdead, the usenet precursor to rec.music.gdead, & get setlists/reports within a few hours/days for most shows. (unfortunately the setlist tabbing didn’t get preserved.) groups.google.com/g/net.music.... /3
