Chicago Live at Carnegie Hall. I STARTED with a 4-record set, a harbinger of record purchasing excesses to come!

This still has its charms, for sure, despite the MOR they wound up in.

I'm gonna be fine.

Tropical Fuck Storm, "Fairyland Codex". Astonishing record; the fulfillment of all the promise of their first few releases.

SO much hair ago.

Reskeet with a time you looked cool.

Holy shirt I meant to do this earlier.

Good day all. Awaiting my "Decoration Day" expanded, hopefully tomorrow!

I'm rumpled, but I'm caffeinated. Let's call it a draw.

Good morning, Ricky; good morning, friends.

Listening to Neil Baldwin talk about his magisterial new(ish) biography of Martha Graham. What a life.

Tuesday, September 30, 2025. The Royale, Day 2030.

T-minus two days till we leave for Ireland...

This will be my last Royale hosting for a while, and will likely be accompanied by a reduction in social media participation across the board. (1/5)

Monday, September 29, 2025. The Royale, Day 2029.

As of , Wednesday, everyone's dear friend @therealjustj.bsky.social will be assuming hosting and posting duties for the Royale.

I took a break last year, and five good folks kept the Royale going, until I took it on again on October 1, '24. (1/4)

Sunday, September 28, 2025. The Royale, Day 2028.

Another brilliant evening of music with Tropical Fuck Storm, who delivered another fierce evening of indescribable rock music. (Got to turn a friend onto them from the rail as well.) (1/3)

Saturday, September 27, 2025. The Royale, Day 2027.

Tropical Fuck Storm did indeed melt faces last night at TV Eye. Lovely people, too, which is an added bonus. Individually charismatic as hell, they play like one beast. Fantastic. Do not miss.

Once again there tonight for show #2. (1/2)

Thursday, September 25, 2025. The Royale, Day 2025. The day and the year finally match...

Some mornings I look a little more ragged than usual...

Really enjoyed the return of "Slow Horses" last night. One of the simple pleasures of the last few years for sure. (1/2)

Not a terrible re-entry to work. Busy, but productive..

A little over 8 days till Ireland.

Monday, September 22, 2025. The Royale, Day 2022.

Kind of wonderful day at the the Brooklyn Book Festival. Sold a ton of books, selling out of several titles (especially the advanced release of Cory Doctorow's "Enshittification"), met a few King Crimson (see t-shirt) and Mountain Goats fans...(1/2)

Sunday, September 21, 2025. The Royale, Day 2022.

Up early on a Sunday for Brooklyn Book Festival. We'll be in Moot Court handling book sales and signings with Elie Mystal, Anne Applebaum, Cory Doctorow, Molly Jong-Fast, and many, many others. Stop in if you can; 7th floor of the Law School. (1/2)

Saturday, September 20, 2025. The Royale, Day 2021

I did not mention that last night was an "Undertow" house show with Eric Bachmann. I am sure I've mentioned before that between his solo work, Crooked Fingers, and Archers of Loaf, he's amassed a remarkable body of work...(1/3)
