beautiful!

Excellent inspiration for what to do if I'm in Seattle more this winter. I too have the pirate ship counterpart, iirc!

no, not a video-taking guy, sorry

Lovely Built To Spill show at the Neptune tonight. Jim Roth joined to add an extra guitar for the 40-minute encore. The trio is great, but I miss those extra guitars, so it was awesome to have Jim back for a whole set

Bay Area! Please join me tomorrow evening (11/14) at my favorite place in Oakland to hang out (Cone Shape Top) where I'll be guest DJing for the Global Weirding show on Sutro FM. I'm on at 6pm. It's a potluck! Bring bevs and a friend.

stumbled upon a jazz listening bar/coffee lab (JAB) whilst idly wandering the streets of Fukuoka. delightful!

pretty interesting ballgame they've got going on tonight

I've revived my old @treestoknow.bsky.social account, semi-regularly posting text and the amazing illustrations of Hugh J. Hayes ( keeporegongreen.org/archive/ ) from an old edition of "Trees To Know In Oregon", if you're into that sort of thing.

Jafar Panahi’s Cannes Triumph Sends a Warning to Authoritarians Everywhere The Iranian director’s Palme d’Or-winning thriller, “It Was Just an Accident,” set the tone for a festival defined by dramas of political resistance.

Jafar Panahi's Palme d'Or winner, IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, is now playing in New York and Los Angeles theatres. A film of blistering rage and implacable moral authority, in which Panahi's presence, experience and courage are stamped into every frame: www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

This explains the films of Guy Maddin

Was lucky enough to catch Setting when they came through SF in May '24, and have been thinking about that show (and listening to all their live releases on bandcamp) ever since

Got to see 'em yesterday at HSB and at the Camp Winnarainbow benefit on Wednesday! Coming to the scene later in life, it's been great to be able to see folks like Peter Rowan still around and playing. First time I caught DSO (at the Warfield), they had him front an acoustic first set; fantastic!

recently they've they've hidden reviews by default (tho not overall rating, sigh), which makes it slightly less terrible. i've been reluctantly using it for tracking the last couple of years, and do like it for that enough to put up with the ridiculousness

Post a poster you have hanging on your wall

they need to stop making all these different movies. just make one movie where everything happens

Fall of Freedom is an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping the nation. Our Democracy is under attack. Threats to free expression are rising. Dissent is being criminalized. Institutions and media have been recast as mouthpieces of propaganda. This Fall, we are activating a nationwide wave of creative resistance. Beginning November 21–22, 2025, galleries, museums, libraries, comedy clubs, theaters, and concert halls across the country will host exhibitions, performances, and public events that channel the urgency of this moment. Fall of Freedom is an open invitation to artists, creators, and communities to take part—and to celebrate the experiences, cultures, and identities that shape the fabric of our nation. Art matters. Artists are a threat to American fascism.

Invitation to friends in the arts. I'm part of a group organizing a project called Fall of Freedom. We want artists and orgs of all kinds (whether you're an Indie bookstore, a cinema, gallery, whatever) to come together to resist authoritarianism. Starting November 21st...

Orcutt Shelley Miller killing it last night at Thee Stork Club in Oakland. @billorcutt.bsky.social barely visible to most of the room, made up for by his blistering guitar throughout. Picked up

tuesdays just won't feel quite right for the next while without the frow show. in the meantime, looking forward to diving into those 10+ years of archives!

A sign with a silhouetted person sitting on a beluga whale with a red circle with a line over it.

FYI this is my favorite sign I’ve ever seen

There's a great chance to see some aurora tonight! A few tips for the casual observer in this thread.

First off, this forecast shows potential overhead aurora (green band) and the edge of where you might be able to see it near the horizon (green line)

finally got to see him play a couple years ago and had a similar feeling. nothing against the guy, just felt weird to not be digging his show and be unable to put my finger on what's missing

I didn’t know anything about how the world works before I started spending 15 hours a day on the computer

nearly 50 folks here a few minutes before showtime at an IMAX in downtown Seattle. stoked to see it on the big screen for the first time!

Thinking abt the Built to Spill "Doug" bench in Boise from 2022.
