This band sounds GREAT. SK being too chill but it’s ok because Tom Guarna is a monster guitarist.

Jeff Conklin @thetrailhead.bsky.social · 10d

Nugs live-streaming Oteil with Kimock tonight that’s great fuckin’ news. Let’s get an ‘Ice Cream’ bustout, Steve!

So I’m just gonna play the new Tapers Choice a few more times. It is really really good although I wish there were some more new songs

Jeff Conklin @thetrailhead.bsky.social · 12d

I’ve been staying away from the new remaster of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway because if I jam it then I’m gonna have to get all 5 copies I have out and compare them and download others and obsess over every detail and I have a job and family to think about

60 years ago today, john coltrane recorded "om" in seattle while (according to several biographers) tripping on LSD. the next night, he performed "a love supreme" in its entirety for one of the only known times. idk seems significant?

I don’t hear anything particularly groundbreaking or original about the Geese but one of them apparently wears a moe. shirt on stage so they’re ok in my book.
