I put out the Nick Cave's Bar show 5 years ago today. Didn't have any plans to write another book and yet here we are, two more out and two beyond that in progress. Distrokid sent me this poster, but of course it's not on Spotify

Very sad to hear the news of my old friend/bandmate Annie Smidt's passing. I wrote more on IG but here's a holiday card I got from her in 2000 that's how I'll chose to remember her. "here's to kangaroos drinking tea in well-appointed libraries"

25 years ago Andy Shea & I watched I Know What You Did Last Summer 37 days in a row. Mallory Smart convinced me to watch it a 38th to talk about the psychic fallout from such a venture with her on That Horrorcast @mallorysmart.bsky.social

Holy shit! Haven't seen anyone mention this in relation to One Battle After Another, but Sean Penn is actually in Vineland! #OneBattleAfterAnother #pynchon

"Aug Stone is a busy guy, a very busy guy.....The track is a bold, ballsy belter." I LOVE all of this. Great review of Rachel On The Rooftops in @intocreative.bsky.social by @welshjb.bsky.social

Dayton legend Don Thrasher will be playing Rachel On The Rooftops on his WYSO radio show today between 11am-2pm
September 5, 2025 at 2:47 PM
A week to go. Any music writers/DJs want an advance copy of the single? "A legit indierock hit" according to Jörg Winzer

Rachel On The Rooftops getting some radio play at a couple stations today. One week til my debut solo single drops

God bless Canada!!! Next Monday, the day before release, V13 will be premiering my Rachel On The Rooftops video. They were the ones who gave Buttery Cake Ass that awesome review: “reads as if Douglas Adams wrote it if he was raised in a record shop by Monty Python and Kurt Vonnegut”

Two weeks til my debut solo single drops!

Perfect weather today to sit outside with a good book. And Debsey's book is really great @debseyonbass.bsky.social @newmodernbooks.bsky.social

Arrived in the post today and I am loving it so far! Dolly Mixture are one of my all-time favourite bands and their story is so great. Published September 25th @newmodernbooks.bsky.social @peteselby.bsky.social @debseyonbass.bsky.social

If you write about music or have a radio show and want an advance copy of the new single, let me know. In the words of Jörg Winzer, it's "a legit indierock hit"
August 15, 2025 at 1:13 PM
Any music journalists wanna check out my first solo single?
August 7, 2025 at 1:43 PM
My first solo single, Rachel On The Rooftops, is out September 9th. Jörg Winzer tells me it's "a legit indierock hit".

If you write about music and would like to cover it in some way, do get in touch. There's an ace video too

Rachel On The Rooftops video. Coming September 9th
August 2, 2025 at 5:00 PM
It's #BandcampFriday and I could sure use some extra cash. Grab a signed copy of one (or all) of these at augstone.bandcamp.com/merch

Friendly reminder that The Ballad Of Buttery Cake Ass audiobook is available thru your local library app and makes me money when you take it out : )

"I think every musician in the world who doesn't suck is crying right now"
Never thought that upon hearing of Ozzy's death I'd start sobbing in a Trader Joe's parking lot texting friends how much they mean to me but such is the power of music. Jim P's response above was perfect
