New substack post is up. This time I used the upcoming Bruce Springsteen electric version of his Nebraska album as a jumping off point to talk about one of my favorite bands of the last 40 years, the Beat Farmers.

New Substack post is up. It includes a playlist of songs that I pulled together for the office when I was there to work the phones yesterday. Link to the post is below (that includes the playlist.) At the very least check out the Harry Nilsson demo track on it. Blew my mind.

New Substack post. This time it's a playlist that I made for a buyer client. I always offer up a curated playlist to new clients based on what music they are currently enjoying. Wanda told me her current faves are Jason Isbell, Big Thief and Jenny Lewis. Here's what I came up with....
EP. 31 - The Bends Radio Show
I posted another episode of my fake radio show, the Bends. Last one was in April. This one is on the heavier side so if you need sound loud music, here ya go. If you don't, there's still some stuff for you but keep that skip button handy! 😂
New Substack post. Hearing an early Shane MacGowan song got my mind thinking.

New Substack post up. It's a Song of the Day linking together a great documentary I watched last night on Glenn Gould with my real estate biz and peppered with some tie ins to John Darnielle and the Mountain Goats. What?
Over the past few months, I’ve had conversations with a lot of clients and neighbors who’ve opened their mailboxes to find a property value reassessment from Durham County...

I’ve launched a new project called Steve on Shuffle: Songs & Spaces — a free Substack newsletter where I’ll be sharing stories and reflections about two things that matter a lot to me: music and homes. I’d love for you to follow along. It’s totally free. 👍
SONG OF THE DAY: Damien Rice & Cantus Domus "It Takes a Lot to Know a Man" We stand or sit and watch artists on stage, often elevated (both literally and figuratively) above us. Here the listener is in the center and they are the focus.

SONG OF THE DAY: English Teacher "R&B" - One of my favorite recent finds has been this band from Leeds called English Teacher. This song, called "R&B", is my current fave, especially the "Theo Verney Version" which is extra noisy.

America First is disingenuous. It should be called America Only to be more accurate. There is no second.
SONG OF THE DAY: New Model Army "51st State"
Lots of countries (Canada, Gaza, Greenland) could be singing this song about now. Great band. #nowplaying #songoftheday

SONG OF THE DAY: Kylesa "Don't Look Back" - God, the news. So bad. Crank this up. One of my hopes for 2025 (besides democracy surviving) is to see Kylesa play live. No earplugs. I wanna feel it in my bones. #nowplaying #songoftheday
