Person in Richmond, VA. Partner to TKW and dad to Gidget the dog and Frances and Radar the cats. In Outer World the band. Consumes music, art, books, and fancy drinks. Believes in a better world for everyone.
Kenny and I are playing as a duo tomorrow in NJ for the first time. We normally play as a 5 or soon to be 6 piece, so this is gonna be quite an exciting change up and challenge.
Not so sure I want another band acct to deal so my personal will have to do.
Outer World is playing in Richmond for the first time since last April in June. Lockin in one more support act and the full deets will be revealed.
"But it is a reminder. The work of progress—messy, meaningful, often misunderstood—rarely feels urgent until it’s too late. So we act now. Quietly, stubbornly, steadily."
From a year ago: Wrote about records from Rosie Tucker, Outer World @courtesydesk.bsky.social, R.E. Seraphin @reseraphin.bsky.social @safesuburban.bsky.social, and Marbled Eye:
The good vibes thread we all need.
Currently arguing over what to spend it on.
RVA Cool stuff alert!
Welcome to the RVA Main Library (101 E. Franklin St. via the 1st St entrance) Memory Lab…a place where you can digitize almost anything! Photographs, documents, books, VHS tapes, slide and negatives, cassettes, 8 film, reel-to-reel audio, DVDs, vinyl records, and more!
If someone can explain why the Outer World song "The Message Is The Message" randomly got nearly 1000 streams on Monday, I'd love to know. I can't find a playlist that caused it. It's not earth-shattering for a lot, but for a year-old record and non-single to have that happen is a little wonky.
I went to see the band Spatula at a very small venue in 1995, and they added this sort of new act called LOW to the bill. Talk about a way to experience that for the first time.
Saw the creator of Bluesky speak today. I jumped on here without much knowledge of the platform and I’m stoked to dig in and play with all that open source can provide.
Berman. Style icon.
I love a good tee and this one of them : theoldbaby.com/products/pre...
I always figured your bajas were bitchin.
Was down last year for work and I cannot begin to tell everyone how seamlessly the CIA booth fit in next to color correction software and all the AI grifters.
Wrapping a demo on a new Outer World song with the most timely lyric.
Has there ever been a more appropriate time to read this book?
What do you think … like 14?
Currently trying to run the figures in my head around the number of people who own a crosley AND a Wedding Present record.
Here is a cute photo of a dog.
Next up. 24 day blackout.
I have no clue how many times I’ve listened to the phantom.
I love the pup hanging in the pita pocket bed!
Hanging with Gene tonight.
1st band practice of the year lifted me above the clouds.
I think often about overhearing a couple say aloud “dammit I can’t find anything in here to instagram” and hope that it all got sorted out in the end.
I’m loving roundups like these which highlight some of the not terrible things happening at the moment.
This! (Thanks to my forever playlister @courtesydesk.bsky.social )
