In a move that coincidentally might be appreciated BY @hellolanemoore.bsky.social, the first time I am seeing a show at Park West in Chicago OTHER than Lane Moore is finally getting to see the band Fastball.

I would love for people to finally get that autoimmune diseases have no meritocracy or moral component to them after the Bryan Johnson news, but we know these false notions will continue on.

Especially since we finally now know he already had another diagnosis as well over two decades prior.

Until Fantano inspires a track on par with “Kill Yr Idols,” please do not bother me on this matter

Go see Weaklung at Lowdown on Sunday June 28th, it’ll sound like this but louder.

Look at ol’ Owen “Strawberry Guy” Brazas over here
I haven't been able to eat strawberries for almost a decade. I am making up for lost time this summer.

A thing that I was involved in was written about in the New York Times, and I reserve my right to temporarily mute anyone who talks about whatever clown NYT Opinion piece of the week is getting clicks instead.

Is it right? Probably not.
Will it save my mood and patience? Definitely.

I played one of the best performances of my whole life in NYC in the same week the Knicks finally won a championship again.

You’re welcome in advance for my courteous talking about other things.

@hellolanemoore.bsky.social Headed on over to your lands for a week (Tue-Tue)! Hope the sale’s been going well💖

I too am not playing the Freedom 250 event.

Granted, I am also not playing anything that isn’t in New York (June 12th) anytime soon.

But also, neither are several acts listed as playing Freedom 250.

I already have a fondness for the new Odyssey film because oh I’m so sorry… are a traditional tale and cultural touchstones shown differently bothering you…?

I have no familiarity with that, obviously. Sure wish I could imagine what it’s like. Oh well.

I mean, I’m basically the Kiefer Sutherland of the Chicago music scene

Tomorrow (5/12/2026), at Burlington Bar! I grabbed a spot with a trio of other soloists for a 2026 return to the venue.

Instead of laughing at Broadway shows, you should come to Burlington Bar on May 12th and laugh at me instead.

Hot pot and adults who are good at communicating interest in what is being discussed are both wonderful.

Together, would make a grand day all by itself.

(Collaborating and taking turns, those are through lines in both)

If I know any Bass VI wielders, I have the beginnings of a plan/composition.

A year or two to really bring it together, but a plan nonetheless.

Seeing @hellolanemoore.bsky.social at The Den Theatre was an uplifting (via descending) journey into the Chicago Tinder dating scene.

Next time, I want the other seats at my table filled with my friends

I’m really looking forward to putting a new iteration of a sporadic band of mine together AND getting my drawing skills back on-track, so I can make posters like this of the members
Not many people know this, but 13th-century knights loved Tae Bo.

Persnickety (needlessly):

After a certain point, I’d really prefer calling a birthday of someone who is deceased the “anniversary of their birth.”

The person passed away at 50-something years old, let us be sincere and not remark that they would *be* 100 today, etc..

Project Hail Mary does everything it can in its sweet, stubborn competence p0rn optimism and I truly do appreciate its exceeding confidence in its visuals.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple may have still more precisely pierced what remains of my heart, as far as films that have come OUT in 2026 go

The only thing I’m advocating for is not seeing any remarks from people who were fine with hospitals being destroyed suddenly becoming very vocally concerned about warehouses.

It is a rather small ask, I would say

Yr boyfriend seems like he listens to podcasts instead of music

Just remember:

If you feel like you wasted a lot of time, effort, and resources on something

At least it wasn’t at the level of the Metaverse
