“The Quiet Sun” hitting your turntables and digital libraries on May 2nd, edition of 200 LPS, 100 black and 100 psychedelic

RIP Michelle Trachtenburg, you were an icon to a very specific subset of my generation

“I have an 8 and a 10 year old and they’ve watched Werckmeister Harmonies like ten times” was one of the more surprising things I’ve heard in a while.

Big big news for spring, I am happy to host the legendary Christoph Heemann for concerts at both Bard and the Unicorn Bar in Kingston, April 9th and 10th. Matt Krefting also joins and @successfulartist.bsky.social & I might even have records to sell by then.

holy fuck I had no idea there was video of the second show I played with Jandek in 2012!!!! the audio recording got messed up somehow and was never released and I never got to hear it. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

I hope to one day make something as good as Robyn’s SNL appearance

RIP Bill Fay youtu.be/dQ1J9d27aA0?...

pleased to report that I am getting over a very major creative slump/hump largely due to a total lack of time/energy for composing to work on something I'm very excited about

the string quartet are in the helicopters.

Modern Nature/Jack Cooper arrives on Bluesky.

oh what’s wet leg up to?

is there a … *Mrs.* Fahrenheit?

fwiw I know things are bad out there but I recently was in a meeting for the bard queer faculty/staff/student group and nonprofits may be removing mention of gay and trans people to avoid getting on the radar of current administration and then continuing to provide svcs behind the scenes.

pleased to report that America is great again here in the Hudson valley

Never could I have an imagined such a wonder. 4 helicopters, a string quartet.

a Bard student wants to talk to me about Jandek so I'm revisiting some stuff and reminding myself that "The Cell" is really one of the most remarkable recordings I've ever heard. Hard to recapture now that feeling of the shock of him suddenly appearing live and then doing THIS but wow what an album.

I would really like to see grant giving arts organizations really put their money where their mouths are and start awarding a shitton of money to trans people because we ain't seen it so far and we need it now more than ever.

I thank Mr Show for this prophetic sketch and also for giving me the word “shitballs” nearly 30 years ago. youtu.be/DG71LjHlkMQ?...

Trump issued executive order barring classical percussion groups from playing drum set

been feelin' not so hot lately so getting a little dopamine here by sharing the cover of the upcoming Hennies/Kasten-Krause LP which is ~a real doozy~ and I'm comfortable saying is ~very good~

Somewhat by accident, I just happened across the fact that Michael Ranta once composed the score for a documentary about Tibet called "Tibet - Gate to Heaven" ("Tor zum Himmel" in German) and the whole thing is just sitting on youtube for all to see. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8Kg...

this show is the gift that keeps on giving

how is it possible that within two hours tonight I heard of bands called fish narc and flesh narc totally independently of one another

Skating rink says to text them requests. Your move, DJ.

new text score/open instrumentation piece alert, coming later this year I think as part of a collection. It's named after a species of "lesbian lizards."

YES

no guitarist has ever needed to use a bow
