It’s a Xmas in July miracle, the new ep of the pod is up and we made it to # 10. I know they’re getting less frequent as we’ve entered Summer and of course World Cup happening. But, I’ve got Sarven Orak back and we picked up where we left things last time around. Streaming links: campsite.to/tbws
My daughter asked me to draw Minnie Mouse playing a saxophone.
Gordon Raphael is the perfect exemplification and encapsulation of why I named my podcast 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙒𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙨, which is of course a play off fellow Seattleites, Sunny Day Real Estate’s song, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙒𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙨. New ep out now! Available wherever you listen to podcasts: campsite.to/tbws
Musician/producer extraordinaire, Gordon Raphael and I discuss the sound and the approach he and @thestrokes.bsky.social took when they were recording #TheStrokes Is This It, which turns 25 this Summer. New episode out now! 🎧🔗➡️ campsite.to/tbws

It'll be up this week! l'll probably do a few more & call it a season before Summer break. If you'd like to be a guest on my humble little podcast please hit me up! campsite.to/tbws

He already refuted this, but these two and countless others (mainly on Twittler) keep pushing and circulating this nonsense.
Yeah, man, no shit, Sherlock. Absolutely wild that he would put something like this out a week after he completely dismissed the Wired Geese article. Like what is that he doesn’t understand firms/agencies like Chaotic Good and Byword do for artists/bands? Who does he think can afford such services?
No interview this week, just a bonus episode of me reading my last Substack piece: open.substack.com/pub/caspians...
Last night at @barnesandnoble.com Paramus, NJ, @gittlitz.bsky.social giving a reading and discussing his latest book, Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People's Team. ⚾️🏟️🍎
Yet another offering to the Geese psyop discourse… caspianseal.substack.com/p/fake-and-b...
