And I thought a company that puts on a pride flag avatar on June 1 might be interested in restoring a space on the internet for actual LGBT+ expression. Let us know if you do.
It's
#LongCovidAwarenessDay
and almost exactly 2 years after I was infected. I haven't been able to do much this week because my long-Covid symptoms (fatigue, inability to digest meals without nausea and intense pain) have been more acute than usual. They never fully go away.
If power is given to police in a free society, it must be under the condition that they are there to protect the public, not themselves. They must put the safety of the people first, and their own safety last. This is where any respect or honor for the position comes from.
on Dec 8th we’ll be releasing the live album "Faces From The Masquerade", capturing performances from our 2022 tour. These tracks capture some of our best-ever shows, and we're excited for you to experience them, either for the first time or as a return audience!
Happy to report that I am back on my feet and feeling like a normal human being once again. Tour is set to pick up tomorrow in San Diego and roll on as scheduled from there.
We’re happy to finally share Faces From The Masquerade with everyone, whether you caught us on tour or are hearing for the first time. This record captures shows from the hardest and most rewarding tour of our career.
We wanted to make sure vinyl preorders arrived on time despite potential shipping delays, looks like some people are actually getting it early. If you get it early you can listen, but you have to pretend that you didn't.
For the 20th anniversary of

Deleted old tweets. Not to spoil anyone's fun, but I never gained anything from doing absurdist stand-up into the void here, and it feels weird to have it still in circulation.
When arrests turn into murders, when officers abuse and assault protesters, who is being protected? If the police come armed against the public, then they have voided their own claim to power, and they act in complete disregard of their contracted role. No honor there.
As far as I can reckon: when it comes to streaming, the best thing to push for is more support and funding for government-run, tax-funded streaming services.
Wanna say more on this at some point but for now I will just ANNOUNCE that a record that has been in the works for quite some time got dropped this weekend, MY HEAD HZ by NAKED DAYS. I produced it and played some of the instruments.
Ticket buyers may have already gotten an email about this but our summer tour has been cancelled for the expected reasons. You can get a refund at your point of purchase. Incredibly bummed to be losing this opportunity to play. Rescheduling & alternate events TBD
A bit of an early gift for you all ahead of Friday’s release, since we didn’t have great footage capturing our performance of Sober to Death at Brooklyn Steel, we’ve decided to release video of the song from our LA show on the same tour

I, too, support the freedom to speak about speaking freely and talking and wanting to talk about talking but being kind of afraid to because other people are also talking and speaking. I think it is the number one issue in our society and I wish more people were talking about it
I'm lucky, in that I've recovered enough to function more often than not in the tasks of my daily life. Many with Long-Covid haven't. There is no cure, few resources, and more and more people are getting it.
Take Covid seriously. Wear an n95 in public. Wear an n95 with friends and family if you don't live in the same house. This has not become a non-issue. This is as much of a risk as it was at the start of the pandemic.
There used to be a good vid of someone with a gentle voice doing a readthrough of

and now when I read it that's how I hear all the characters. Can't find it anymore. RIP
So terribly sad to hear the news, from my dear friend Jeff Tartakov, that Daniel Johnston died late last night. Daniel is my all time favourite pop songwriter. His music captured so much with its honesty, humour, poignancy and great melodic heart.
