🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

MUST SEE.

I have my moods 💛

🧑‍🎤🤍 OR BTAO KESY HO SAB🎀

The NDA’s have expired, so I can file my Halloween ‘26 report:

1) The incredible Judy Wurster going above and beyond with this perfect presentation. 🎃❤️

2) Wanted to do something fun and warm to commemorate this milestone, so I looked around & saw that my first drum king, Stewart Copeland, was doing a speaking show at @therialtotucson on Mischief Night (are we still calling it that?). @bobmehr3 (one half of my most generous Tucson host team) & I respected Stewart’s wishes and took no photos, but I do need to relay this #rocknrollweirdness: “My brother Ian (right) was so cool that when he was expelled from high school he was the sitting class president.”

3) Speaking of, look at this amazing Summer of 1981 recreation my wonderful brother commissioned from @skw_paintings.

4) Crucial scores from @woodentoothrecords and @thebookstoptucson.

5) If you were a band with a gig in Tucson in the ‘90s, you hightailed it to The Chicago Store to scavenge vintage music gear. I say “scavenge” because all the great stuff was on the roped-off second floor. One of my favorite memories is of sneaking up there with @swami_john_reis & @atomwillardisme, trying to be super quiet as we dug through old drums and guitars. The real test came when you brought something you found up there to the comically-disgruntled older man at check-out. In my case, it was a pristine, mid-‘70s Ludwig Supraphonic snare shell. I can still feel the terror of him asking where I found it. “Oh, it was buried under some other drums here on the FIRST FLOOR.” “You sure?” “Yes.” He rang me up. 😥

6) Nearly cried when this arrangement from @mattybonez showed up at Bob and @cocohames’ place. ❤️

7) Turns out Devo & The B-52s were playing on Halloween in Palm Springs🤯, so we roamed west, and who joined us for dinner but two of my fave humans: Bob Mould and Don Fisher.❤️

(In an incredible synchro, my favorite song of all time-you’re listening to it now-was playing as we walked into the restaurant.)

8) Both bands killed. Maximum thanks to @johnstapleton and @sterlingcampbell4 for their generosity.

9) Perfect finale: First person off my incoming plane at PSP? Jimmy Webb🎶

🎃❤️
