Tonight: caught two semi-regular residencies I've never seen before, I believe both occur first Monday of every month. Both vastly exceeded expectations.

First was a mostly-improvising quartet called Musics at Barbes, two brothers on electric guitars and the killer bass/drum combo of Chris Tordini and Jason Nazary. Like the child of Elkhorn and Wayne Krantz. Wowza, should've been checking this one out more regularly.

Twas a gorgeous day for livemusic'n in Brooklyn. Caught several shows with multiple stops at Barbès for various levels of weirdness, culminating in a rare visit from Todd Sickafoose, playing new Tiny Resistors songs with Steve Cardenas, Adam Levy, and the always-fabulous Allison Miller. The peak moments were rather peak.

Also a trip to deep BK for an Operation Gig show, one of the great holdovers from pandemic DIY gigs.

Tonight: Barbès early show, same exact band for Oscar Noriega as last week except with Marta Sanchez back and it's like night and day. Loose and furious. So good. Doesn't feel fair that this is a weekly occurrence.

Voici le slogan chanté à #Barbes par des participants à la manifestation d’#Europalestine d’#OliviaZemor :

"Ouvrez les frontières on niquera les juifs"

C'est inadmissible !!!

I'm emotionally swinging between total uncertainty at work, anger and despair at {everything}, and complete distracted joy from livemusic. Not sure it's sustainable, but TGIF, I guess?

Happyplace'd at Barbès for now at least...

Happy Friday from the happy hour gang at Barbes, may the weekend be restful and next week less horrifying.
