new followers old followers non followers: an occasional reminder that I have 25 years or so of weird, noisy, and otherwise difficult but oh so listenable sounds available here: cranksatori.bandcamp.com & I would love it if you gave a listen or even traded me a few hard earned coins for some of it

Less evil, more music in 2026

Last Rock Show of 2025 tonight 💥
It's been a loud year but I can't complain. I am grateful for all the bands, venues & homies I get to work with. See y'all on the 🎚️🎚️🎚️🎛️ in 2026.

The prosecution rests, your honor.

download the WFMU app and get off Spotify thank you have a nice day

Tuesday night I had the great pleasure of seeing a Dean Johnson show. I was unfamiliar, but I am now a fan. He & his band were great & his songs are incredible. Good Music!
