We started a community of musicians and patrons called Holy Fool (@holyfoolco.bsky.social). We especially want to support working musicians who struggle financially. Give an end of year gift to Holy Fool! It's tax deductible and it will support our community of musicians. youtu.be/EadOZ8YkfVc

A good way to radicalize people against Spotify is show them how much streaming income their favorite indie band made this year and then show them how much a Spotify executive earned in the same period

Splits and EPs don’t usually make it into end of year conversations (for good or for ill), but here’s a reminder that we put out a very good split with @iambirthdaydad.bsky.social this year!

I'm teaching guitar and songwriting lessons now!! Hit me up, I'm good at music and I can help make you good at music too.
Hey Friends!!
 I’ve started giving guitar and songwriting and poetry writing lessons! If you’re interested in getting better at guitar, songwriting, or just want to talk general best practices about creativity or doing music and being in a band, hit me up! I have a sliding scale, and my rates are reasonable, and I’m grateful for every little bit of extra money I can make right now. I’m a kind and gentle teacher and I love seeing people get better at music, so please hit me up. I offer lessons in-person in Lafayette, CO and over zoom. If you're interested, send me an email at bensooy@gmail.com

“O Come O Come Emmanuel” is everything I love about Advent - lament, longing, joy and pain all mixed together. My buddy Caleb Doyle does an amazing job with A Very Sufjan Christmas day 2!! www.sufjanchristmas.com/blog/2025/12...
O Come O Come Emmanuel — A Very Sufjan Christmas
By Caleb Doyle Like many Sufjan Stevens fans, I first discovered his music from someone in my youth group at church. Also, like many of those same people, I’m further than I’ve ever been from my Ch...

So, a little over 2 years ago I put out this album with Ben from @aplaceforowls.bsky.social and I think it’s a perfect record for this time of year. You should check it out.

Btw, there are still tapes available through @filip.start-track.com
