@fountainsofwayne.bsky.social were amazing on NYE in Chicago. Valley Winter Song was what I had been really hoping for on a frigid, windy night and they delivered! I really hope they carry on with this reunion.

Music highlight of my week: so I’m having a side conversation with this older couple in adult band, I say something, and from across the room the cool trans kid perks up and says, “Wait, did you just say that the Cocteau Twins do a cover of Frosty the Snowman?!” ☃️😊 @mrsimonraymonde.bsky.social

Last night Wembley Arena, shoegaze went mainstream…with zero compromise. @mbvofficial played blinding show to a floor of predominantly 20 somethings. Incredible to see eyes full of wonder at a new but thrilling spectacle for many. Felt old, it was my seventh show 😬

Meet our newest Ambassador, Sofia Gonzalez! “Being a teacher against gun violence is a huge part of my life’s work. Teaching inner-city Chicago for many years & being very proximate, specifically to gang violence—it’s something I’ve been combatting for over a decade…Enough is absolutely enough.” ☮️📚📓

Remembering Mani. Only met him once but he was incredibly accommodating to me and my friends backstage at a show near Chicago. I hope to post the whole story when I get home this weekend. Legendary good guy first, legendary bass player second.

First time at the @saltshedchicago.bsky.social tonight. I like it! It’s kinda like the Aragon Ballroom without the imminent threat of death.
