International singing/songwriting vagabond. Lover of toast and tea. Hater of cabbage and fascists.
@rhettmiller.bsky.social there’s a scene in Parks and Rec where Diane asks Ron “for my own edification…” and I am 100% convinced that that is where you got the line to ask all your podcast guests where they are calling in from.

Hey everyone, I'm excited to share something with you all. It's still new and not released yet but @nebulavoid.com has a video game called FALLENSTAR. Tracy and I have given our blessing to them sharing the name with us and they're cool folks and the game looks really interesting.

Dig. Yo.

Sometimes I feel like I do the hard sell and push my music on folks too much and then I see video of the current POTUS walking world leaders thru his maga gift shop as they exit the Oval Office and I’m like - fuck it. Nothing matters.

Working on a new version of Woody Guthrie’s “all you fascists bound to lose.”

How did an 80 year old song become relevant again?!?

I don’t know a lot about D&D but I know that I’m chaotic good.

People think I’m joking when I say I dream about playing hockey a couple times a week but I’m not.

Last night I put on no. 35 and I think I was playing for the Minnesota Wild because of the colors but I didn’t care where I was as long as I was between the pipes.

The fact that I can’t turn of CoPilot on the web version of MS Word is infuriating.

If I wanted AI to write my book then I wouldn’t be writing my book.

I never had any kind of opinion about spices or who made them. (I don’t care what Frank Herbert says about it flowing)

But here’s the thing- one spice company came out as ant-fascist and now I am a big fan of Penzeys.

Northwoods Fire is fantastic on salmon and shrimp. Had it tonight.

There are many pressing concerns in the world currently. This is not important in the scheme of things but I would like to suggest that 10,000 Maniacs “in my tribe” get remastered sometime in the next few years.

Question for my creative friends - is the general state of the world make you burned out on performing before you even start?

I have this feeling that, no matter what I do, there will be red hat folks in the audience and frankly, they don’t deserve my entertainment.

So… rushing around to see if I can empty the dishwasher in the 2:33 seconds while my tea is steeping is some kind of ADHD thing?

I suppose you’re going to tell me my hyperfocus is part of it too.

Rooting for the @nhlmapleleafs.bsky.social and really hoping someone puts Matthew Tkachuk in his place. So sick of that goon and Marchand too.

The @nhl is so much better when Tkachuks are golfing.

I cracked a rib about 15 years ago playing hockey. Didn’t require any surgery or anything. The Dr asked when it happened. I told him 2 weeks ago. He said “don’t play hockey for 6 weeks.” I said “6 weeks?” He said “ok at least 4 weeks with the previous 2 not counting.”

Some days it still hurts.

@maddow.msnbc.com thought you might like a soundtrack song for protest coverage. Our song “Good Trouble.”

Yes, of course it’s inspired by John Lewis!

The White Rose is also intentional.

I don’t get jealous of other musicians fame or success but I have found myself jealous of the band First Aid Kit because they have been raising families and still working as musicians and I know that it’s only possible because they live in a country with universal healthcare who cares about the arts

There is so much absolute beauty in the world; music, art, nature, people - that it is such a theft of our talents, time and energy that we have to spend our days fighting the fucking Nazis that have taken over our government.

It is a crime against humanity it the fullest sense of that statement.

formal•humorous
the action of throwing someone out of a window.
"death by defenestration has a venerable history"

Who knew?

Just read an article about how "Boomers setting up a showdown with Millennials over house ownership." or roughly something like that.

Read the whole article and you know what generation wasn't mentioned at all? Gen X.

We really don't exist do we?

Making spaghetti- should I break it in half to fit in the pot?

I don’t know about you but I am feeling really strange.

The USA hasn’t always been the “good guy” in history but we always put up the front of being the good guys - it was part of our brand.

We had ideals that we didn’t live up to but the current Admin is like “yeah, these were never our ideals.”

Resident Alien using Blue Rodeo’s “lost together” is like the best use of a song on tv.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :)

Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.
