Played the surf n turf plate from Motorshucker Comemos + it said, “MOVIE!” + I said, “No, YOU!” + then we laughed.

Still got it 😎

Been enjoying all Chicago has to offer as we enter the waning moments of Summer + I get ready to roll out East for tour. Grateful to live + love in such a special place + that after going to all these other lovely cities this is what I come home to ❤️ photo by Eric Montanez

Played Comemos for the duck at Sun Wah + it said, “Album of the year!!!”

Idk why I ever wonder who smells like good weed when I’m out + about because 9/10 it’s me 😹

East Coast tour loading… 👨🏻‍🔬

Played Comemos for the meatball pizza at Town Spa + it said, “This is so good we almost thought about letting you pay w/ a card… but you can’t, ATM is by the pickup counter.”

Also - I don’t like conversations that revolve around “best” or “better” as it pertains to music. I’m literally just competing w/ myself - is it the best I can do? Is it better than what I’ve previously done?

I don’t like to look back on my catalog too much for a handful of reasons but good to remind myself sometimes of where I’ve been so far.

Since 2020…

How do you sleep at night? w/ Montana Macks
Blue Beach w/ Killer Kane
Smoke Detector w/ Iceberg Theory
It is decidedly so w/ goldenbeets
Sour Dub w/ SINAI.
Comemos w/ Good Food

And there is still so much ahead + to do. Thank you for listening.

You know it’s a wedding weekend when you see me in my Ho Hey 1s

I’m not fucking kidding, call or write your reps right now.

Steam punk top hat at the airport count - 1

Yeah.

Cochon, Dragos, Dookey Chase, Bacchanal (and a personal vote for Verti Marte + their shrimp philly)

“Gas Station swords” was not on the bingo card but it was Wisconsin so it should’ve been

Ate giardiniera on a philly beef sandwich + used a Chicago dog to cool my mouth down, does this mean I get to be Mayor for a day?

And thus concludes the 1st leg of the Comemos Midwest Tour! California Clipper - you were a big hug! Thanks to all the amazing people who made us feel so welcome, East Coast next 😈

Will this be the night Cocojoey finally plays a keyboard solo while crowd-surfing? - Chicago Reader Cocojoey plays a homecoming show to support the wild new Stars, Roy Kinsey inaugurates the Rapbrary’s physical home, and more.

Lots of good stuff this week: @cocojoeyyy.bsky.social's homecoming show, @richjonesmusic.bsky.social and Good Food's tour capper at the Clipper, Roy Kinsey's Rapbrary launch event, Lawrence Tome's Secret River Parade, and the annual Neo reunion. Details at the link: chicagoreader.com/music/gossip...

Would mean a lot if we had a big turn out to the release show for Comemos this Thursday at the Clipper - if you ever thought to yourself, “I’ll just go to the next 1” consider just coming to this 1 instead 🤝

We’re in Detroit eating everything + enjoying some of Michigan’s finest tree. Join us this evening w/ J.U.S + Simple Cuts at Motor City Street Dance Academy tonight, 9pm 👊

How are the “rule of law will save us” folks doing today? Is it protecting the department of education or any other institutions?

Reminder that fascism becomes the rule of law under fascist dictatorships and America is a fascist state now.

Supreme Court Clears the Way for Trump’s Cuts to the Education Department

Yet another victory for Trump thanks to his packed Supreme Court.

Some of us tried to warn both leftists & liberals over the years that reforming the courts &, yes, packing the Supreme Court should be the priority. That the GOP has rigged it all. But 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽
