Finally got to see #Pavement again after far too long! The show was terrific and I had a great time.

#RecordStoreDay quest complete! Snagged muh-self a copy of this official bootleg 20 track live #XTC album from their 1981 tour. #rsd26

Tonight I skipped the bullshit to go see a screening of The Neverending Story at the little revival house in my neighborhood. Seems like I made the right choice.

An image from the film The Neverending Story: An ornate leather-bound book bearing the title "The Neverending Story." Above the title is a metal sigil - two intertwined snakes.

Handel's Messiah in this beautiful setting tonight was something to behold.

Went to an anti-ICE protest/press conference today in S. Minneapolis and ran into our lord and savior...

A guy dressed as Jesus stands near a group of protesters and carries a cross and a sign that reads: "Carpenters Agree: Fuck I.C.E." There's snow on the ground and everyone wears cold weather gear, except Jesus, who has magical God protection.

They had these for comic book characters, too! I spent hours and hours custom building my own super teams.

Headed off to see Belly perform this gem tonight...

Minnesotans hate kings, but they sure do love a Prince… #nokings

No *you’re* getting a little misty seeing Grandaddy play Sophtware Slump in its entirety tonight at First Ave.

Happy birthday, Black Sea! This perfect little gem from XTC came out 45 years ago today...

Hank Mobley gets it right every time.

Clos-up of the cover of Hank Mobley’s album Roll Call. The record plays on a turntable behind it.

Found a used copy of this absolute gem today. A few bands have gone under the name Buck, but this is the one you want. Fronted by the incredibly talented Lisa Marr (Cub), this is some essential jangly late-90’s LA punk, and it remains one of my favorite records from that era.

The cover of the self-titled Buck album.

Just got The Estate, a big ol' Mausritter RPG adventure collection by @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social @losing.games @gamesomnivorous.bsky.social, and it's pretty awesome. Guess it's time to run a bunch of cool mouse games!

The cover of The Estate, a Mausritter Adventure Collection, featuring an adventuring mouse wearing a backpack and holding a crown as a pigeon flies up to meet them. In the background is a large house next to a smaller second building, and topiary shrubs shaped to look like a cat and a mouse.

This is great news! So glad to have been able to make it to the demonstration today on the steps of the MN Capitol.

It’s an honor to be your dad, kiddo. I’m so proud of you and I can’t wait to see what you do in this world.

Some say too fart. I say not fart enough.

Screen grab of the Old 97’s album Too Far to Care, but the title is cut off so it reads “Too Far T…”

This gem came out 33 years ago today. Happy birthday, S&E, ya beautiful weirdo!

In spite of the world falling apart, I’m having a pretty nice birthday. Had a great rehearsal with my jazz band, and my wife and our daughter got me some awesome vinyl…

Two albums - Soul Coughing’s “Ruby Vroom” and Jeff Buckley’s “Grace.”

Really enjoyed Becoming Led Zeppelin - a new documentary that covers the band's beginnings through LZII. A bunch of great never-before-seen footage, interesting interviews, and some amazing performances.

God, it just goes by *so* fast. Happy 18th birthday, Nora. I love you with all of my heart and I couldn’t be more proud of you. I can’t wait to see the amazing things you’ll do in this world.
