Someday the feds are gonna investigate this place and subpoena my phone cuz I’ve got it’s every John Wayne and disco ball photographed a hundred fifty times from every angle— a maddening archive— but the best pic ive seen is this shot of Mama behind the bar taken by @mmzblast from the behind the drumset. She told me “I LOVE MUSIC! EVEN WHEN IT HURTS MY EARS!”

🌴October 1 🌴 a sweet autumnal rent-day Primetime. This is a really sick one it’s all over the place. Transcendentalists and perverts, hackers and shredders. Masters in their fields.

Got a new music video if you missed it last week! Made by the great documentarian of the Mexican informal economy @selfihumeante and starring the clown @el_merol . The song is from my 2024 tape of tape’d out blown’t out guitar songs which I still like as much as I did back then — pretty rare for my fickle heart. Watch it in my bio by @barbqpope

This is the *Hottest Of All Bills* it’s inconceivable that there’ll be a hotter happening anywhere in this cursed hemisphere on Thur 9/3

Brown + Rogue (@fancyfeces @lynyrd.squidward ) Debut of this duo which formed when Mitch saw Sam play at this very spot. Two of the apex masters of the modular madness that’s one of the strong suits of LA music rn. Mitch’s conditions in agreeing to the show were that I betray my (noble) ideological misgivings about PA’s (a clear force for the bourgeois cultural flattening that the Mexican Marxists call “blanquitud”) so I gleefully spinelessly folded and we got a PA ty Greg

Hostile Architecture (@janethousden @wilddonlewis ) Their set at the 2 Year PT bday show sits in my mental hall of fame of best sets I ever seen here. It’s perfect music it makes you feel awake twice over makes you feel like you been fasting for days. Maybe you saw Don’s divine solo bass set here last year or Janet’s with Dave Arnson or maybe you’ve seen her playing Irish violin in the park or remember her as the early drummer of Redd Kross. These are True Rippers they know how to get it

Ecco the Dolphin (@babeoftheabbyss ) Abby’s got that rarest/least bullshittable of artistic gifts of being able to create fully in/for/with the Situation she’s in. Everything to say and nothing to prove. I first saw her in the Graffiti Phallico duo and they cooked up this serene, long-form deep listening music and then killed it after like 6 min and just stopped. It was sensational I was taking notes. Now she’s one of the first people that comes to mind when I need an act or a collaborator. Dono what this project sounds like but I know I love it

hans f. wagner (@meadow_lair ) another gripping mystery no idea what the music is but I DO know I love this guy’s brain and I love its constructive powers. You’ve read the poems you’ve seen the paintings and if you’re really fucking lucky— or if you come to this show which amounts to the same thing— you can say you seen him turn a 20 min live set inside out (or right side in as you will henceforth have to think of it)

DJ’ing is the one and only @gro_opp
