  1. Very cool Motian/Brackeen/Izenzon boot from ’77: http://bit.ly/48V62h. Where are you today, Charles Brackeen?
  2. Nirvana live in 1990 w/ Dale Crover on drums: http://bit.ly/3nDT5C. Wild to hear his take on some of the Nevermind stuff.
  3. ALL (i.e., Descendents 2.0) plays Music Hall of Williamsburg on January 9 w/ prime-era frontman Scott Reynolds. This rules.
  4. Them Crooked Vultures album is really just the new Queens of the Stone Age album—can't decide if that's good, bad or just inevitable.
  5. My Threadgill feature (one among many currently circulating) is in this month's Wire. Full interview transcript here: http://bit.ly/3pwFph.
  6. Pics from STATS Halloween show in Cleveland: http://bit.ly/38Wbdi. Note my gold suspenders and a guest turn from the female Glenn Danzig.
  7. Digging a few Unheard Music Series gems I unearthed at home, including discs by Dieter Scherf Trio and the late, great Sirone.
  8. I didn't know Jerry Fuchs, either musically or personally, but all the extremely kind words I'm hearing make me think I was remiss. RIP.
  9. About to preview my newly acquired live Confessor DVD (from ’05), bought ultracheap on Amazon: http://bit.ly/20SOPG. Beyond psyched.
  10. New Krallice disc sounding like a sequel to the debut (plus select guttural vox). Fine by me, since the first one ruled so completely.
  11. I'm in my third or fourth phase of being addicted to this album: http://bit.ly/1k8jDP. Sinister yet deeply moving acoustica.
  12. Loving the Bleach reissue. Can't help wishing Dale Crover drummed on the whole record, but these are great songs regardless.
  13. Via @nightafternight: Egyptian artist brings together noted death-metalists for strange happening at Santos on 11/21. http://bit.ly/3xzk4e
  14. Had not really realized till just now: Charles Gayle is an amazing piano player. Tantalizing evidence here: http://bit.ly/4Ad5UP.
  15. Jesus Lizard hype brings to mind the two orphaned Capitol albums. Shot is a bummer, but I'm checking out Blue now and it has its merits.
  16. Day-by-day STATS/Dysrhythmia tour diary up now at DFSBP: http://bit.ly/qVOQk. All written from memory - hope I got the details right!
  17. STATS tour concluded in Brooklyn last night. I'm exhausted but really happy w/ how it went. Thanks to Dysrhythmia and all others who helped.
  18. Among the duped. I dedicated STATS' show in Lansing last night to Chuck Biscuits, only to have an audience member set me straight.
  19. Weeklong STATS tour begins today! All info here: http://bit.ly/QOayp. Seven shows with Dysrhythmia, plus lots more fun...
  20. Wild Yaks, spreading the unhinged joy at CMJ: http://bit.ly/fwbm5. This band is inspiring.
