My Big Breakjolly bobber

today's track feels like half-asleep end credits music or half an ice cream cake sliding off itself

yesterday we sold out of "sandhills music" cassette tapes on bandcamp! if you missed your chance there, you can still grab one from tiny showcase directly. I have a scant few offline copies available, too, which I'll be selling at merch tables until I run out.

speaking of which, i'll be back in kingston, ny on monday night - - some extremely heavy hitters on the bill, here's the flyer:

I'm short on time and words this week, so in lieu of new writing this week, please enjoy this piece, published on Slate this week (my first for the website!). This started off as a 3am email to you all and got adapted and cleaned up very nicely for wider consumption, here it is:

Hold Hard the Tap Handle: the Joy of Bartending

But what about you? What do you have coming up? What would be your "human interest" story if you had to publish one? What are you holding hard onto?
