Obligatory Apohadion bathroom pre-show selfie. Wearing my father's winter jacket for tonight's show, which I found in the closet right next to where he had collapsed.

Turned to a random page of a book in the waiting room of my therapist's office this morning. This was the result.
Playing a set with ICHORCLAW tonight at the Apohadion Theater. Dead layers will be shed.

The Clock DVA "Second Sight" book & unreleased album bundle was sold out when I got to the merch table at their show w/ FLA/Lead Into Gold/Mentallo & the Fixer, but I ordered it that night & it arrived a couple weeks later. Listening to the CD at the shop right now & it's excellent as expected.

While ordering for CSO recently, I also got a couple CDs for myself as a balm for my hemorrhaging soul: THIS IMMORTAL COIL's "The Dark Age of Love" & "The World Ended a Long Time Ago". Covers of Coil by Ulver, Bonnie Prince Billy, Yann Tiersen, more. Delicate, melodic, sometimes quite breathtaking.

Huge thanks again to everyone who attended CRIMEWAVE at Portland House of Music Friday night-- DJ KTTNMTTNS and I had an absolute blast spinning for you all. As requested, here's everything I played.

Just arrived in the mail: THE PRESSURE COMPANY, Live in Sheffield 19 Jan 82. The location & date are clues, this was a pseudonym of Cabaret Voltaire for a one-off performance to raise money for a civilian hospital in Czestochova, Poland.

I've been putting off writing this post because my disbelief and despair are almost too much to bear. This weekend, my brother in law Matt was found dead in his apartment. Days later, we still don't have all the answers. There is no bottom to this chasm of grief, no relief in sight. It is endless.

Find someone who looks at you the same way that Gary Numan's guitarist & bassist look at each other. 🖤
Numan really does put on an excellent show, but these two axe-wielding Harkonnens are almost just as entertaining. It wouldn't be nearly as good a concert without them.

TREMOURS opening for Gary Numan at State Theatre, 10.12.2025. Recommended for fans of Cranes in particular, and then also Slowdive, Cocteau Twins, and similar ethereal shoegaze-y acts.

Today would have been my mother's 76th birthday. There are reminders of her and my father all around the house right now, at every turn. I know in my rational mind that she would want her children to celebrate the good times we had together, but I am suffocating under a leaden blanket of grief.

SWANS live at Paradise Rock Club, Boston, MA on 10.06.2025. My 4th time seeing them. They played for 2 hrs, traversing sonic ground from delicate folk fragments to raging oceanic swells, dense cinematic soundtracks of desert post-apocalypse to the finale's transcendent psychedelic western dub.

While in Boston for Sam's bday yesterday, we visited Big Dig Records, where we mined a rich vein of experimental incl. Laibach's Occupied Europe NATO Tour 94-95 VHS+CD box set, Profligate's debut LP, Sigmund Und Sein Freund's first 12", a stack of YGR/SWANS/Gira/Jarboe releases... Good times.

Visiting Shangri-La Records in-person for the last time was more difficult. I'd been going there for 30 yrs, since high school. Along w/ Chicago's Reckless Records, one of the inspirations for our description labels at CSO. I found & bought 3 Lost Sounds albums incl. my goal, the Memphis is Dead LP.

My final in-person visit to Goner Records was understandably bittersweet. I remember going there w/ my dad. I recall buying Throbbing Gristle's Heathen Earth on wax & still curse myself for passing on Lydia Lunch's Queen of Siam LP-- I've since picked it up elsewhere, so why does this still stick?

GREETINGS PROGRAMS. NIN - TRON ARES 2xLP soundtrack on black & red vinyl. Always irks me to no end to see a release on store shelves before my pre-order arrives. But at least it's here now. END OF LINE.

On Tuesday, we got into KC fairly late after a traumatic week of cleaning out my parents' house in Memphis. Wednesday morning, we were told that my mom had passed earlier that day. I never got to see her or say goodbye. I have lost one of my biggest supporters, closest confidants, and best friends.

Arriving at my parents' house this morning, we discovered someone completely filled the new dumpster we'd ordered for the remainder of our clean out w/ their own garbage after midnight last night. Authorities said they could do nothing, it was a "civil matter". It will cost ~$600 to have it emptied.

We've directed mourners to donate to my father's fav orgs in the wake of his passing, incl. the Memphis Public Libraries. We donated 300+ tomes from my parents' shelves to MPL's used bookstore, which earns $400k+/yr for the library system. In shopping there, I also netted some fun stuff for CSO. 🖤
