Thank you, Tyler!
Happy to share my memories of recording with Augie. I'm forever fortunate to be a footnote in a hero's discography.
I just saw that my beloved engaged in social media for the first time in a year. For good reason!
Fans of Doug Sahm/Groover's Paradise & Chicano Gospel RocknRoll: Frank "the Wild Jalapeno" Rodarte's debut album at age 83 is up for pre-order. Songs by JDD, Reigning Sound Greg, Bill Callahan (Smog tune). Bandcamp Pre-order up right here: frankthewildjalapenorodarte.bandcamp.com/album/the-re...
Surprise to no one, I'm sure: this is not the first time someone has shared my music & used the word "flem" in describing our shared experience.
& on the existential (rhetorical?) opener, "Why Do Men Sing?" the irony & pathos is jacked up w. backing vocals of the wondrous Eve Searls. (AKA, my wife).
I'm putting my Big Boy hat on tomorrow to slide into a TGIF. 🎩
I never played for Boston and I hold my bat like Rod Carew.
If it makes you feel less alone, a record I pre-ordered on 8/1/25 will ship on 1/18/26. Can't wait!! 😅
A must-read Joe Ely article. Loved every time I saw him play. A true legend.
I played tambourine on this song. But, EVE SEARLS is the gorgeous backing vocalist you hear with Bill. @chrisdeville.bsky.social 😍
I don't own any guitar pedals so once again in a psych music list for being psych-ologically unwell. Happy to be here & thanks for listening.
Me too, but never seen his baseball card before.
SNOCK DOC. Check out a homespun short film that gives us a highly personalized snapshot of the late/great Michael Hurley circa 2009.
This is not me after being beheaded for my many 2025 sins, but I am happy to be on the list beside Bobby Charles's smile.
My "Happy New Month" well-wishes earlier today sank w/ no warm responses. However, I'm still sharing this with everyone bc this website is an essential PSA for everyone buying new vinyl that cares about sound. Great installment here.
Happy New Month.

Neil Young's ARC, released Nov. 12, 1991
Always fun to remember that this is the only album that Neil Young has ever released on his birthday.
Thank you, Mr. Altavista!! 😍
I'm playing a house show in Austin, Texas on Saturday early evening w/ Amy Annelle & Dwight Smith. DM me if you want the address or curious about what I'll be wearing.
This is an accurate post. It is being nominated for Album of the Year for Best Vinyl Lacquer Cut & Pressing for an Album with Pedal Steel that Foreshadows Open Heart Surgery.
An album that should appeal to longtime fans of Hurley's weathered leather folk forms. A singular voice; part town square truth teller, part vaudeville spell caster. His songs ramble though grassy blues, tied up with burn pile smoke and sweet breezes, while retaining a studio charm. bit.ly/3KB3PM6
💎💸💎🎶I'm back for my second installment.
Thank you, but it is my fault for having people play on my records.
For the 4th time this year, I had another "festival" offer rescinded when I told them I don't have a band, so sharing this as example of how you accommodate a solo acoustic act not on a label or working with an agent: PUT ME AT THE BOTTOM.
Peanut is so attention seeking that I don't want to encourage him.
Oh thank you. I'll "see you" next month!! 🤑
I just logged on here for the first time in a few weeks, but I am still running so...🏃💓🏃💓
