September 2019

  • September 29th, 2019. War Returns.

    My dear wife informed me that war has returned to the basement. She cautioned me that there was a “huge dead spider” by computer, but that it was okay “I think the crickets are eating it”. Sure enough, when I went to check on it there was only one leg left… one, large, horrible, hairy…

  • September 28th, 2019. A good week.

    Good morning world. This week was SUPPOSED to be exceptionally intense, but thanks to a canceled gig on Tuesday, that sort of broke the tension and the week has actually been… you know, fine. There’s a break point (no pun intended) where a packed week suddenly becomes a week with a just a bunch of…

  • September 25th, 2019. Bad dreams.

    I dreamt of starving last night. Some sort of post EVENT… I don’t know that the world had slid into Apocalypse or if we were stranded somewhere or exactly what it was, but it was a dream of barren land and stripped stones in which me and dozens of other people truly saw there was…

  • September 23rd, 2019 – Teavolve w Jimmy Stewart.

  • September 22nd, 2019 – Woodstock, NY.

    …I dreamt Keola had a heart attack on stage last night. Playing bass, his mouth lolling and foam-flecked. I was face-to-face with him. Gripping him by the arms, the bass pressed between us. His neck straining as he lost sensibility before he lost consciousness. Lowering him to the stage as EMS was called. Flashing lights……

  • September 21st, 2019 – FreshGrass Festival & The Flying Cat.

    Getting up this morning, we’re off to Mass MoCA in the hopes that a) when we pick up our merch, we don’t have to pick up quite as much as we dropped off, b) that we’ll catch our friend Lauren Pratt for her set and that c) the Anselm Kiefer building is open! Not necessarily…

  • September 20th, 2019 – Mass MoCA & FreshGrass.

    Right from the beginning, the weather is perfect, the architecture intriguing, and the trees are being hung upside down. Triffid torture? Perhaps. There wasn’t an immediately obvious artist statement (something that turned out to be rather unique through most of the complex) so the exploration begins in mystery) I’m not going to add all my…

  • September 19th, 2019 – Playing in the Barn.

    Well, last night we hit up the Egremont Barn open mic and advertised for the show – and tonight we play the show! We’re joined by Mark Tuomenoksa on keys and saxophone because we CAN – and spent a good bit of the day just jamming with him at his place to get the feel…

  • September 18th, 2019 – Get OUT.

    THIS is the way the best days start. Coffee at the Joint in Bethlehem, PA. The day has been downright idyllic, driving north from Bethlehem, PA – one of my favourite cities – via a pretty leisurely route up through NY to where we’re playing tonight in Egremont, MA. We hit up a jam at…

  • September 17th, 2019 – Get Nupped.

    (above, Sunday found ilyAIMY performing at a wedding in Frederick, MD – actually we were probably more a product of the bride’s father than the bride…) (below, just a stunning day for Love to get officialized!) Dulaney’s Outlook’s signature nupmobile. Kristen’s all fancy. A fine ceremony. ilyAIMY’s first barn of the week! Not a popstand.…
