Celebrating Caturday with the completion of our LEGO tuxedo cat, to join the two flesh and blood ones who already own us. #caturday #tuxedocat

These appeared on the same screen in my RSS reader...to quote Shatner in "Airplane 2": "Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes." Also: maybe I can get on board with _some_ Chinese censorship.

I’m sure this relates to something more current, but I can’t think what…

I’ve been seeing Shiner for just over 30 years but they keep evolving—keeping what was awesome and adding more awesome on top. There’s no weak record in their catalog and I’m just as psyched about the one that came out last week as the ones I’ve listened to for decades. If you like nuanced Heavy with melody plus shoegaze washes and occasional mathy time signature changes, try to catch them on this tour. https://shinerkc.bandcamp.com/album/believeyoume #shiner #shinerkc

RIP Dave Allen I was a different person after seeing Gang of Four the first time. Dave wasn't in the band at that point, but I was lucky enough to see him with the reunited original lineup a bunch of times in '05, including this crazy night in a small club in Hollywood after a few hours of open bar on Richard Branson's dime. My friend David snapped this pic and that's where we standing--literally up against the edge of the stage. One of the better nights of my life! #gangoffour #rip #daveallen

It had been a very long time since I’d seen Bob Mould live—hasn’t lost a step in the 40ish years since the first time. Closed with an all time fave (“Makes No Sense At All”). Great show! #BobMould

Somebody's been walking on eggshells.

Happy Halloween!

#SpaceAceSunday Just discovered this in an Apple Note—the preview links back to the non-existent original post so I took a screenshot:

Lovely weekend in Las Vegas, highlighted by great sets from two of my favorite bands of all time, The Dismemberment Plan and Jawbox. This was not a sentence I thought I'd be writing in 2024, but I'm so glad I am. #DismembermentPlan #Jawbox
