When I start a friendship with someone and then I find out they’re a fan of @bestshow4life.bsky.social, I know it’s built to last.

I have no strong opinions on Dr Who, but my favourite proposal was that of Tom Scharpling on @bestshow4life.bsky.social, who suggested the Pet Shop Boys – both of them, at the same time – should be the Doctor.

Speaking of Daniel Romano, this @bestshow4life.bsky.social live set from this week is excellent. Note for all bands: More Les Pauls through stacks, please.

Along with @siridahl.com I was unexpectedly on @bestshow4life.bsky.social tonight. Tom and the gang have been so profoundly and deeply supportive of my work since I got to Los Angeles, and I wouldn't have accomplished half of what I have without that. I am so deeply grateful for them.

#9: Steve Gunn - Music for Writers. Probably the most traditional ambient album in my Top 20 list, but it's really joyful for traveling alone. I was lucky to see him live in October as a surprise guest for @bestshow4life.bsky.social 25 in Brooklyn. #2025
Music for Writers, by Steve Gunn

Saw “deliver me from nowhere” on Tuesday and still thinking about the Frankie Teardrop scene which felt so @bestshow4life.bsky.social coded!
I cackled loudly in the sold-out theater.
