It’s only May 2 and I’m already calling it, this guy is my official summer 2025 vibe

Truly incredible

Dogs are an immediate and emphatic refutation of utilitarian thinking. Thank you I will not be taking any questions at this time

Policy idea: every tech bro gets a shelter dog they have to take care of

Forest of Tines (Egil Kalman plays the Buchla 200), by EGIL KALMAN 20 track album

Other than that… mornings like this are usually about solo steel string guitar, or analog synth. idealrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/forest...

Similar effect here doubling fiddle with uilleann pipes copleystreet.bandcamp.com/album/copley...

Cormac Begley, by Cormac Begley 13 track album

And this solo concertina album is deathless, some of the hardest swinging music released this century cormacbegley.bandcamp.com/album/cormac...

Unconventional texture of fiddle duo, often in unison, accentuates choices of ornamentation etc nathanandlaura.bandcamp.com/album/bright...

Having one of those weeks where I listen to nothing but traditional Irish music 🤷‍♂️☘️

I'll never forget the time @Fernbri ate too much candy from a day-after-easter sale at walgrens [sic] and passed out in a ball pit at mcdonald's playplace. Rest in power

What I wouldn't give to hear what @Fernbri has to say about this. We miss you king

A movie that takes place where you're from

With apologies to my hometown, this is truly the city of five seasons, where 3 of them are summer (something like: fall, winter, good summer, bad summer, good summer)

High of 81 today, feels like coming home, arguably you are not really in Albuquerque if you’re here and it’s somehow below 80 outside

It’s so unspeakably terrible already, imagine how bad it could get when something truly unexpected happens and these bumbling psychos have to face a crisis they didn’t cause

Union guidelines specifically forbid rolling with it. See Section XIIIa Subhead 427.991 of the CBA

Imagining the poor behavior already on display at any WF parking lot applied to the context of dumpster diving is a dark scenario indeed

Foreseeing an imminent future in which Kerrygold butter costs $25, then disappears from the shelves entirely, and then I fully embrace communism

Spiral Garden, by Spiral Garden 8 track album

My bro & bandmate Ben Hjertmann & co. have unleashed this mountain-holler JI gorgeousness upon a world arguably undeserving of it

Still sometimes, as I go through my day, I stop and think about this gag and lol to myself

Such a good interview. I love how Iyer and Smith talk about their compositions and collaborations, in a language that’s not about musical jargon so much as spacing. They speak of playing in “a vertical stream” and “across” each other.

America is already a pariah nation to the world

Me talking to someone I am dating shortly after she attends one of my concerts for the first time
