I’m excited to announce preorders for “Imperatives”—my first album under the Double Black Eye moniker. Imperatives was recorded with @beaunoise.bsky.social in July 2025 at Tiny Telephone Oakland, CA. It was one of the best musical experiences of my life, and I think it's my best work yet.

Not sure how I’m gonna handle this “shitheel dad comes around” storyline in the Lowdown this season.

But tonight, tech session to get sounds in advance of first band rehearsal this week. Sounds were good. I am excited.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

It’s 3am and I’m home after driving 4+ hours to Atlanta and 3.5 hours back, all to experience the greatest goddamn machine of a rock & roll trio just one more time.

This wonder of a human is twelve today, and I just can’t believe it.

Maybe a top-10-ever song for me? (Speaking as someone who owns all their records and his solo stuff too…). An undeniable tune

For my side hustle, I spoke to free-jazz titan Matthew Shipp about McCoy Tyner, Duke Ellington, and Albert Ayler, among other important matters.

Looking forward to this ghoul reaching full desiccation

1: Thanks to all who have bought a copy of Imperatives. My crusty heart is warmed. 2: If you can repost this and/or share a link (doubleblackeye.com), I'd love it. This is a 100% DIY thing and I want to get this music into all the ears that I can, so any help makes a difference!

Just got a glockenspiel for $10 from the goodwill site AKA my new favorite gear store. Get ready for glockenspiel on everything I record for a while

With respect to my Dodger-fan friends here, I'm so glad to not be hearing about the Dodgers for a few months.

I always try to vote early, because what if I died tomorrow? Gotta make sure that work gets done. Don’t fuck this up, Tennessee

🤣 🤣 🤣

Tom Petty: Somewhere You Feel Free is streaming on Youtube now, so that's what I'm watching (again) this afternoon www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zfP...

Challenging myself to translate a handful of very electric / effected songs to play an upcoming solo acoustic show, and wow this is difficult for such a slop-ass guitarist as myself

CDs are here! Maybe too many CDs. Help me unload these, please. doubleblackeye.bandcamp.com/album/impera...

One of the Allies’ best WWII propaganda tricks was looping a short film of Hitler so that he appeared to be dancing idiotically. Anyway,

LOL OK Reverb

I don’t like Walmart knowing me so well

Fun Saturday watching baseball with the family, with brief interruptions by ads for The Department of War and Megan Fox talking about dick pills ⚾️ 🇺🇸

You have until 12am PT to pick up one of these sweatshirts, as this is a one-day only thing, and support @chirla-org.bsky.social who are doing vital work supporting immigrants.

One more thing for your @bandcamp.com Friday consideration: LP/CD/Digital preorders of my forthcoming album, Imperatives, releasing 11/6

Solo show in Milwaukee tonight! Only 5 tix left. www.eventbrite.com/e/jason-nard...

Bandcamp Friday 😇😌

It's getting chilly again so we decided to do a limited edition sweatshirt for today's benefit. This is ONLY available today. bikinikill.bandcamp.com/merch/limite...

Very excited about this one.

might I have the gaul to suggest to you this album of mine from April on this Bandcamp Friday in October? It's about the attempt to build a family while the world as i know it burns to the ground.

@brucelevenstein.bsky.social Happy birthday. I hope you got some CDs.

Def didn't see a discussion about the motives of a killer and the cruelty of the death penalty in the cards for the afterschool car ride with my almost-12-year-old today, but that sure was the thing that happened

Getting excited to make my biennial appearance on a stage to make music soon. It has also been suggested I do a solo stream of the new album from home at some point. Is this a thing people would watch? I maintain a safe distance from “content creator” stuff and wouldn’t want it to be seen as such.

It is a maddening time to be reasonable.

Such a fun night at @thebeths.bsky.social’s all-request show. We love this band so much, especially if they’re in our town.
