Boosting this for Bandcamp Fri as it's an esp great day to buy since proceeds are flowing to Musicares to help musicians in LA impacted by wildfires. Crucial. Me & fam are still getting back to normal after my freak hospitalization a& recovery, so it helps us too. xx softabuse.bandcamp.com/merch

absolutely gutted to learn of the passing of Susan Alcorn, an incredibly gifted improviser, arranger, and musician who bridged so many musical worlds. We just hung out last week at her show in Baltimore with David Grubbs. I am in shock at this loss but grateful to her for her work and her example.

Not sure how I missed this absolute beauty from @nofansrecords.bsky.social but it’s stopped me in my tracks today. I will hang my head in shame until lunch time.

rec of the day: GFRENZY "eel creek" (stabblies LP) vinylization of a CDR by this long-time stabbies label presence (willis, teen x-ray) is a lovely slurp of lo-fi song invention with lots of grit and samples of various kiwi noisers. a very cunning assemblage! stabbiesetc.bandcamp.com/album/eel-cr...

Now through January 1, the code “goodbye24” (remove the “) gets you 25% off anything / everything at softabuse.bandcamp.com. And anything / everything you’d consider is helpful at the moment. Next year may be a slow one around here, depending on recovery, but stay tuned! xx

As many of you know, my recent hospitalization has my family in a bit of a bind. We’ve been showered generously by friends & family near & far but I wanted to open another outlet for potential assistance, as recovery continues. (more in the next post!)
