If you catch Jeff Tweedy on his current tour, make sure to check out the cool backdrop my friend (and neighbor) Abby designed for his stage show! Looks great under the lights.

Some classic Superman heedlessness in this issue-
Jimmy finds a magic ink passed down from Nostradamus, but when it almost reveals his identity, Superman spills the ink on the floor, eliminating a potential solution "to solve the world’s greatest crimes, unravel earth’s greatest mysteries…”

Jimmy Olsen upset about his spilled magic ink while Superman stands coldly in the background.

In true creative fashion, she finished it the night before it had to be shipped out. 😂
My wife even helped paint some of the sections of the 30+ foot backdrop!

My little tribute yesterday to the great Eddie Van Halen, who passed away this week (Oct. 6th) five years ago-

Also, I’ve just noticed that when I put my pick in my mouth for stuff like this it sort of looks like I’m wearing some very bold red lipstick…💄 💋

My favorite DC book right now-

Loving this Superman series from W. Maxwell Prince, @martinmorazzo.bsky.social, and @chrisohalloran.bsky.social.

So good!

I read this and my mind narrated it back to me in Bill Dozier’s Batman '66 inflection.

My friend just sent me this little clip he took of our soundcheck for the Fox Theatre show we played earlier this year-

What an amazing room. So big!

Also just realized that the last four movies my wife and I have watched are:

1) Weapons
2) Bring Her Back
3) 28 Years Later
4) Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit

Ben Keiser @benkeiser.bsky.social · 5d

Finally saw Weapons and really dug it-

Lived up to the hype IMHO!

A little bit of Memphis Slim’s "Steppin’ Out” from the Tybee Post Theatre-

I just love the sound of the bowed upright in this tune-
Rachael is such a badass musician and always leaves so much space for me to experiment with different stuff.

Solo break from our tune "We All Fall Down”

Bend-y!
