fascinating survey of the early lower east side music scene, 1900-1920. deep #nyc history. https://klezmor.im/@carkner/117021352714755930
for some reason, the #nyc tower records has come up a few times this week & it really all feels like a dream now, just the scale & sprawl, especially when tower books opened, too (plus, of course, other music across the street).

the t***a dealership that took over the building where the sloppy heads used to practice is now completely devoid of cars, which is an entertaining development. perhaps soon devoid of t***a too. #nyc
can't remember the last time i saw one of these in the wild #nyc
an out evening in every way celebrating the allen ginsberg centennial on little island with thomas bartlett, laurie anderson, anne waldman, marc ribot, & crew. heavy/joyous/surprising/fractured/ecstatic new settings for ginsberg's words, the hudson oddly serene except for the odd loud party boat. #nyc
sunday jams at mama tried: vague plot (soundtracking the haze, dig the new song with vocals), @… (from pdx, making their #nyc debut, atmospheric big-drummed drama with pedal steel), & prison (soot-covered nyc kosmische, 2 keys lineup, upcoming frow show guests…
these should be absolutely banned from #nyc & any other town/city with sidewalks & pedestrians. another fromt in the war on cars. https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/117031243158587006

lambchop take #nyc ultra-mega-quietly at public records. love love love the choir on the new "punching the clown" but right devastating to hear as stark vocal/acoustic duo with andrew broder, plus a few newer tunes in encore. public records undefeated for excellent listening but difficult viewing.
at judson church in #nyc, percussionist bex burch's "as yet untitled" suite, earthy flow of quiet pulses/scenes/silences (including water dripping into a miked up pan) with avant all-stars including peter zummo & mikel patrick avery. opening, tomin (flute) & cassie watson francillon (harp) float over woodwind loops

Was hoping this article in the New York Times would be about bats eating mosquitoes but I was wrong. Headline and a single sentence in the article were there to make bats seem like friends (they are, but not because of how many mosquitoes they eat, which is very few). Digital version [follow gift link] has a different headline. #bats #chiroptera #mosquitoes #nyc #newyork #insects #nature #biology #journalism #nytimes https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/nyregion/bats-nyc-highline-prospect-park.html?unlocked_article_code=1.zFA.CO8C.VYStaJ_P2guq&smid=url-share
at union pool, the triumphant return of weak signal, back briefly from the UK & still the coolest cucumbers. right now feeling like the uncontested classic #nyc rock band of the century. gang gang dance's josh diamond on a few tunes, playing doug shaw's part on "tera tera." cathartic & needed.

there is a "small chance" of a tornado tonight in queens but (if my math is correct) still a larger chance of seeing bob dylan, so tornado chasing i go. #nyc
no tornadoes at forest hills except for bob dylan, the immaculate weirdo himself, shrouded in white hoodie, with the paterson/tariq guitar combo. highlight for me was the dark lowlands of "black rider" (which got the biggest cheer of the night when it started) #nyc
50 years ago tonight, the jerry garcia band play a hells angels boat party in #nyc harbor with bo diddley & elephant’s memory, same boat as ’73, opening a mini-run leading into the dead’s fall tour. terrible audio, great video. late summer ’76, show #1.
