like paul simon, i too have attempted to mitigate my hearing loss by pointing a speaker directly at my head. enjoyed the "quiet celebration"/"7 psalms" at forest hills very much, though could've been... louder? was maybe most moved when the crowd covered the high note in "me & julio" #nyc

Make it make sense... #NYC #MTA #FdTrain

Hey #NYC transit/train nerds, this might be up your alley - someone at my kid's school made an #MTA subway board game. Here's the kickstarter:

Hey #NYC it's election day! Did you vote yet? Remember, at least around here, primaries are the main elections that matter. By the time you get to the general election, things are pretty much decided. #VoteNY

the anti-dancing #nyc cabaret law might be finally dead? https://evgrieve.com/2026/05/as-2026-nears-halfway-point-new-york.html

As 2026 nears the halfway point, New York State eliminates restrictions on dancing in bars

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

graffiti cover-up as shitty rothko. #nyc

the next heads happening is happening for heads on thursday, july 9th, at mama tried in #brooklyn, with mountain movers, karen schoemer & her "august" band (including our big brah kid millions), & us sloppy heads. free, like air, jazz, & birds! #nyc

I just got to tell two #GraceMeng canvassers, "Sorry, I'm voting for #ChuckPark
#Queens #NYC

at the vision fest at abrons arts center, leading off with marshall allen (102?!!) & all-stars including william parker, andrew cyrille, dm hotep, & darius jones, flowing through the outer darkness. then, trae crudup & co. with a powerful milford graves tribute, heartbeat thunder & glitched vocals. #nyc #jazz

Wallpaper at Fraunces Tavern Museum in NYC depicting General Washington arriving in Boston. The full 49-foot, 32-panel, 360-color "Views of the American War of Independence" is still produced by Zuber & Cie (est. 1797) in Rixheim, France, using 2,300 (!) wood blocks carved between 1834 and 1852. It takes a full year to print and is likely the world's most expensive wallpaper ($100,000?). The blocks themselves are classified as Historic Monuments by the French Ministry of Culture. #france #history #art #nyc #newyork #museum #wallpaper #woodblock #boston #war #independence #250th

Do not appreciate being able to see the air. #NYC #Smoke

safe travels to sonny rollins from the williamsburg bridge (which really should be renamed after him). #nyc #jazz

Basically we need to make transit free because our local government is too fucking dumb to figure out how to handle fares. #NYC #NY #MakePublicTransitFree

Jehiah (@jehiah.cz)
Absolutely ridiculous way to do enforcement. MTA should never delay a bus to do fare enforcement. "The agency’s fare enforcement “EAGLE” teams are ramping up an initiative where they halt buses for about five to 10 minutes while they scan riders’ phones or OMNY cards to check if they paid."

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

Don't forget to vote #NYC! Democrat primaries are extra important here. #VoteNYC #NYCVotes

Brad Lander (@bradlander.bsky.social)
Ring ring: it's @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and me reminding you that early voting begins this Saturday!

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

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

the last bookstore left on book row (besides the strand & forbidden planet) #nyc #books

When we eventually #BanCars from #NYC, it will be drivers' own damn fault. Can't believe some of the psychopaths behind the wheel today..

catching up with some recent issues of gunk. #NYC #DIY lives!

50 years ago tonight, the grateful dead return to #nyc, the 1st dead show in manhattan proper in 4 years. tickets sold by mail order only. super hard ticket & mini-riots ensue. spring ’76, show #7.
donna-less soundcheck footage with some nice street b-roll & charming weir/hart interview:

Duck decoys found in 1924 inside Lovelock Cave (Nevada), sealed up approximately 2400 years ago by an earthquake. The one on the right is apparently a canvasback (Aythya valisineria). Museum of the American Indian, NYC. #ducks #archaeology #hunting #cave #birds #nevada #indian #smithsonian #nyc #anatidae #museum

50 years ago tonight, the #GratefulDead in #nyc, their 2nd of 2 nights at the beacon theatre. spring ’76, show #8.
soundboard: https://

the timeless weird american peter stampfel leads the atomic meta-pagans through banger after banger at piano's. mostly new in the past few years, including my faves "mission statement" & "this body's just meat," some even newer topical tunes, a lost/found antonia song from '66, "euphoria" & more. #nyc

at the stone, on night 3 of her residency, yoona kim (on bowed anaeng) leads an #improv trio with joe morris on guitar & chris corsano on drums, drone splatter & fire fragments & occasional dramatic flow. #nyc #jazz

sat on the stoop & mostly listened to people freaking out in the near distance during the last 10 minutes of the game. but besides the bar down the block, truly amazing stillness for a saturday night. nobody walking by, almost no cars. and now, obviously, beautiful fuckin' chaos. #nyc

the digital church bells in our neighborhood are sounding especially lo-fi this morning. #nyc #brooklyn

sweet & noisy matinee at mama tried. greg fox's new project, wadari, drums & noise table & slippery dubby beat chaos. and then still minders, electri-fried #bluegrass zones with tunes by buzz busby & moby grape & more (feat. jr bohannon on pedal steel). #nyc

matinee jams at mama tried: synth-noise blowout plus kandy-kolored melodies by dan friel; viola/violin drone-float (amid movie-like rain outside) by jessica pavone & mari bruno; & spiky alt-prog by wendy eisenberg's editrix (who, like, belong on lollapalooza '91-'92) (complimentary!!) #nyc #brooklyn
