Two months of my collection NOTHING GOOD EVER HAPPENS IN A FLYOVER STATE from @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social and it’s nice seeing reviews like this one.
If any press or writer out there is open to an interview to discuss it, I’m trying to keep spreading the word.

Another gem from @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social - THE LOWEST BASIN by @jonathanin2k.bsky.social is fantastic. Strong confident voice drives these desert stories. Makes me wanna hightail it out west. Bravo!!

I selected a curated playlist of jukebox tunes that the dive bar regs are vibing with and this asshole decides to play the loud slot machines and it’s drowning out Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game” - read the room, pal!

Finally went to see Anora in the theaters last night. 30 minutes too long, but it was pretty good. Mikey owns the show. Turns into a Christopher and Paulie bit from the Sopranos for a full 40 minutes. So yeah - fun. Last shot kills you.
