Attention, both of my followers!
Image is a flyer that reads: Save the Date: Dec 13. It’s a Friday night. December always gets nuts, so I’m telling you now. Nancy and I are putting on a very cool Christmas show at the Avalon in Catskill, with a great band and many special guests. Also on the bill is Brian Dewan, so it’s going to be quite a night. Mark your calendars, and I’ll make a pest of myself about this after Thanksgiving.

Thanks @chronogram.bsky.social for a nice little review of my record!
Screenshot of a record review. "Album review: Home. The latest from Rosine, Blender bassist Mark Lerner's solo project. (Rag & Bone Shop Records) Rosine Home (Rag and Bone Shop Records) Life in a Blender bassist and Kingston resident Mark Lerner begins Home, the third self-produced effort by his solo project, Rosine, with a genteel, banjo-tinged take of the 19th century ballad “The Lone Pilgrim.” Previously recorded by the likes of Doc Watson and Bob Dylan, it’s mournful and beautiful but seemingly at odds with the cover image of a seafoam green electric guitar with its pickup selector offering options to “cease” or “desist.” The rest of the album’s nine cover songs (They Might Be Giants’s “Dead,” Phil Ochs’s “No More Songs,” Randy Newman’s “Texas Girl at the Funeral of Her Father”) assay other aspects of mortality, with slightly more sonic spread, including some of that subdued electric guitar, but the tone—as in the synth-underpinned “Dreadful Wind and Rain”—remains delightfully bedroom-y. A quiet, lilting way to while away a rainy evening, lost in your own thoughts of the here and now, and the later."

This is a first for me: I just bought tickets to a show and i'm worried I may be too old/unhip to go. It's Horsegirl (and 2 other bands), but the venue (it turns out after I bought my tickets) is some party mansion uberhip place in Bed Stuy called Hancock House. This photo on their IG dismayed me.

Exciting news! Due to a strategically placed lead pipe to the knees, the other act for tomorrow's John Burdick show at Chromatic Studios here in Kingston has had to pull out and I will be filling in with a short set of my own warbles.
A torch with a banner in front of it that says "Music?" And gig info as follows: John Burdick Trio but Mark Lerner. Chromatic Studios, Kingston, Saturday November 1, 71 Oneil St, Doors 7, Songs 7:30.

Today’s mail! Camden Joy’s deep dive into the making of a great record by @souledamerican.bsky.social
Book cover reads “unforgetting Flubber: the making of an unremembered classic by an unremembered band, by Camden Joy.” Book cover includes a rainbow colored show poster that says SOULED AMERICAN: FLUBBER, and lists sing titles and credits. To the left and right of the book are two small rubber hands, for no apparent reason.

Woke up wondering: Was the cover of Look Sharp! Joe’s feet in shoes so that people would know he wasn’t Shoeless Joe Jackson?

The eternal conundrum: Pimp my music online, or just post dog photos?

I think you know the answer.

Today is going well.
Screenshot of chat: Welcome to Apple Support, Mark! Please give me a moment to look over your information. May I know what issue or concern you're experiencing, please? I just got Apple Music. At first it wouldn’t let me do something as simple as make a playlist or save/favorite an album without "synching my library to the cloud." So i did that, which took all night. But it then apparently dumped that whole library (which had been on my computer) onto my phone, which has *filled* my phone and rendered it unusable. And i *still* can't save an album, I think.

Trying to get some psych care and had to sign this BS:

"AI scribing will allow your provider to be even more engaged during your session without the need to continuously document the encounter."

I hate it here.
Screenshot of "informed consent" language: This document is an informed consent form designed to ensure that you, as a patient, fully understand and consent to the use of AI scribe services during your medical encounter with Riverview Psychiatric Medicine PC d/b/a Clearwave Psychiatry and TMS Medical of the Hudson Valley PC d/b/a Clearwave TMS Medical (collectively, “Clearwave”). I. Description of AI Scribe Services: AI scribe (e.g. Freed) services uses the microphone on a secure smartphone to transcribes—but not record—patient encounters and then uses machine learning and natural-language processing to summarize the conversation's clinical content and produce a note documenting the visit. The AI scribe services with which Clearwave contracts uses technology that is HIPAA-compliant and maintains robust systems to protect all PHI. II. Purpose and Benefits of Remote Scribe Services: The purpose of AI scribing is to improve the efficiency of your medical encounter by allowing your healthcare provider to focus on patient care while ensuring accurate documentation of the encounter for quality assurance and billing purposes. AI scribing will allow your provider to be even more engaged during your session without the need to continuously document the encounter.

Waited til I had a good uninterrupted block of time to check out The Resurrection Game by @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social & I'm glad I did. Really casts a spell. Sad & hopeful, beautifully sung, brilliantly produced & played. Echoes of "Weeping Cherry" by Ambrosia Parsley, & some Leonard Cohen. Brava.
