I had not seen HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH until this past weekend when I got to see the excellent production now playing at Bell Works down in Holmdel. Fantastic! Big thanks to John Hammond for the pointer and double date with our better halves!

Incredible night in rural Jersey, witnessing Chris Harford’s Blanc du Blanc be sonically shaped by one of the greats of dub music - Scientist! The bass was full, the grooves were super deep, and I think the barn levitated for a while… Get the new album and enjoy at home! #musicsky #reggae

"Waiting to Shine" from maybe the last show we did with Michael Carlucci - ? Miss the man so much still. His guitar illuminates this song, which I went on to record a couple years later with The Campfire Flies - Matt D.

The Pities set up business on the moon many moons ago. Their lunar outpost is preparing to transmit back a new aural message. Are you be ready?
"Super-High Moon," from 2011's BELIEVE IN SOUND. Video by the excellent Jelani John. Sending love out to all of you.
Tomorrow's Bandcamp Friday. Why not use that link above or in the comments and support musicians making music? More on the way later this year... #musicsky

Today these two can finally buy me the beers I have needed so badly since the day they were born… No words could do justice to the pride and joy they bring to Dana and me. If one is required to have twins, there could be no better pair… @danadavis25.bsky.social

Our family will be participating in this tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if there is a real impact, certainly. What's going on with the new administration cannot stand.
Please feel free to share - and I hope you also will avoid all but small local businesses, use cash, etc.

I was letting my Plex software vibe off of a Kraftwerk song when it tossed this old gem at me - from the excellently musical Mark Alan Miller’s Out Out. Let her rip.
