I met Steve Sostak 25 yrs ago on my first tour. We played several shows together, crashed on the same floors, and shared lots of laughs. I’m sorry our paths won’t cross again, but I’m grateful he was a presence in my formative years. RIP

Steve Sostak was an integral part of the Chicago band scene for a good while and always a bright spot. Good bands, good guy. He played pickup baseball and on the CMBA Red Sox with a bunch of other music guys, always a good hang there as well. Requiescat. 🎈 twitter.com/scottheisel/st…

Avatar 2 was not my thing, although there were beautiful scenes underwater. Seeing these automatic weapons blasting, watching long hours of violence and people fucking shooting whales. Please just show me beauty, the world’s too hard without getting brain rattled by imax gunfire

Couldn't agree more. The idea that music only counts if it's a business is toxic. There's plenty of fucking besides porn.

Spotify, Pitchfork, Ticketmaster, The Grammies...they have their definition of music. It is fine. It’s not the only one. Music can have other purposes than profit and winning. Or, whether it can or not, it did and it does and it will. Capitalism’s idea of music is a blip.

Every now and then I find myself wishing very hard that there is a hereafter and tonight is one of those times. Otherwise the nothingness, the emptiness are too hard to bear. 💙💔💙

So sad to hear about Jeremiah Green. We only met once a few years ago, he was a lovely fellow and as drummers we had an instant connection. I cherish that memory with love to his family and friends. RIP.

I was supposed to do a talk about drums….instead I told the truth. I’ve never in my life been this open about the events in my life. twitter.com/thetrapset/sta…

Watching Twitter implode is I hope taken by all in music as a warning about Spotify - consolidation is not healthy, consolidation in the hands of billionaires who don’t care about the labor that made them rich is… where we are

So sad to hear my favourite singer Mimi Parker, no longer with us. Thank God I got to meet her and share a laugh earlier this year after Low’s show at St.John at Hackney. Best show - best band - Mimi was my ‘bestie’. XCH

Mimi Parker. A monumental songwriter, a brilliant drummer, a wonderful person. In 2017, I was moving into an apartment in downtown LA. Low was playing at a theater down the street. Mimi was gracious enough to stop by and tell me about her life. thetrapset.net/128-mimi-parke

Friends, it’s hard to put the universe into language and into a short message, but She passed away last night, surrounded by family and love, including yours. Keep her name close and sacred. Share this moment with someone who needs you. Love is indeed the most important thing.
