We’re a band. Pop music in the vein of Costello/Lowe/Hitchcock. Most posts written by the bass player. www.goodcitizenband.com

The Marble head of Aunt Gloria being absorbed by a black cat. The carving is a rough figure done by her husband, an amateur, but the love is there. We used to get adoration for this piece from our neighbors in Chicago who saw it as “real folk art”, don’t disagree.
The cast of the Detectorists, all of them
Up ‘n Comer album cover. A Lino cut of a front-facing horse with a planet in the sky OR perhaps a witch yelling at the moon-really up to you
The dread Pirate Wesley saying “to the pain” as a horrible attempt by the reply guy for a French bread joke
A musical trio
Mr Magoo, voiced by the guy who was the millionaire on Gilligan’s Island whose name I can’t recall right now but I would rather write more alt text than try to look it up
Dumb ass black cat thinks he’s a cow.
A Berkeley Breathed comic cover featuring Bill the Cat pulling his tongue waaaaaaaaay out of his mouth with wild green hair and US Flag pants. The original name of the band was Deathtongue, now Billy and the Boingers.
An e bill with a band listing from 2017 for the Hideout in Chicago, one band is named Lady Parts. We have actually played the Hideout, but in the 90s
A black cat who may or may not believe he is a cow. He is brilliant but also a dumbass
The book cover of Seamas O’Reilly’s debut novel “Prestige Drama”. The pic is a face with eyeglasses and the eyes replaced with houses and I honestly have no feckin idea what the deal is there, as well as what looks like gardens drooping beneath the eyes, so I guess the creative point to this will be revealed
A big-ass Lincoln Continental engine with all necessary pipes and hoses and Jesus fuck it’s just huge
The Rocky and Bullwinkle show main characters. Does not include my faves Sherman and Mr. Peabody
A large, old, avocado tree shaking of the last of its fruit this season, and the spent leaves that go with it. If it never fruited again we’d be ok, it’s the shade and the canopy that’s special
A cooler bag full of avocados from our tree, only a small sample of what we got. If only I realized I could trade these for drugs. Alas, we gave most away
A North American Badger, not to be confused with a European badger, who is now deep in melancholia because no one believes. This is just before he tried to rip out your throat
Tortie calico all snuggled in her blankie
Cole slaw with home made dressing. The slaw itself came in a bag but I had to make my own because there is a lack of decent mustard flavor in most pre-packaged dressings
Finally cooked to a reasonable mush of stuff, sloppy Joe beef 🥩 for the Buns.
Same ground beef with saucy-sauce for that sloppy-Joe texture
Ground beef in a sided skillet with onion, garlic, bell pepper.
Wind in the Willows cover. 1908
Watched this show every single week. Poster for Good Times, the series. Late 70’s. Fave characters were mom and dad. John Amos and Esther Rolle, but they were all great. Sanford and Son second choice in favourites.
GayC/DC - a gay AC/DC tribute band and Herman Melville’s underwriters who may or may not insure them. I dunno, made me giggle
Stupid damned lemon, way too big (standard spoon shown for scale) I only plucked it cuz it was pissing me off by sucking all the life out of the tree. We’ll see if it even ripens. Dumbass lemon…
A very black cat allegedly hiding in a high corner shelf. He has no idea that we love him and hate* him equally. *at 5 a.m. when it is time for bouncies
Bill the Cat but as me in my 20s (Berkeley Breathed, Bloom County)
More avocados, getting a lil bigger now
Bunch of freshly plucked avocados
Based is apparently my word for 2026
Fine-whatever you say Merriam-Webster
A slight break in the clouds on a rainy day allowing glimpses of blue and puffy gray-white clouds
A long awaited illustrated version of the world today. Our Long National Nightmare, by Tom Tomorrow. A penguin w wrap around sunglasses introduces us to the main characters: DJT, Miller, Vance, JFK Jr whose head is, correctly, misshapen…
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Feast. Buttered toast, pretzel sticks, jelly beans and popcorn
Such intensity, a face framed with yellow energy imploring bad guys to stop doing bad things. The text is BUT, SALVATION MAY STILL BE YOURS! RENOUNCE THE WAY OF LAWLESSNESS! FORSAKE THE PATH OF EVIL! In that context honestly not sure if a good or bad guy😁✌️
A bowl of avocados. Most from our tree (fallen already) and a couple from a friend’s tree. We need to start plucking before the squirrels get ‘em all
A white lab, dumb as a rock but so sweet, has come to visit overnight. This is her blankie, not yours. Her name is Daisy Mae.
Nic cage in Raising Arizona with some Huggies being shot at
Bushes that look like a dog (or maybe a cow?) lying down
Pope Bob singing War Pigs-second line, first verse
What I hope to be a delicious dish a couple of days from now. Baklava with a nice brown and puff (save for one section- that’s mine). Can’t go wrong with pastry, nuts, and sugar.
A dear friend and band mate taken far too soon from us. We miss him, his talent, and his friendship, and always will.
Good Citizen at Gallagher’s this Friday 8-11. Long Beach, CA - Temple and Broadway
Dragon headed ass log
Daisy has come to stay with us for 10 days, a loveable stupid lab. The cats are not thrilled but they’ll be ok
Good Citizen playing at Gallagher’s, Long Beach CA Oct 24. 8-11. A dapper man from probably 13 years ago is holding a sign announcing this event. Irish music and some originals.
She is a grumpy old lady with a mischievous little brother who she DID NOT ASK FOR THANK YOU! Yet she is beautiful and calm, for now. Still chatty tho BTW-a tortie calico asleep in her cat tree
Good Citizen at Gallagher’s Long Beach CA Oct 24 8-11. Flyer made in haste by the bass player, and it’s a very old picture but fuck it. If I use a current one nobody will come to the show. Bass Player/Singer wearing a hat and tie holding a sign.
A small henge made of patio bricks and though I have a high-pressure job this is the most satisfying thing I’ve completed today.
Jesus on a cross being hugged(?) by the most recent saint, who is apparently much taller, and all I can think of is Jesus asking for a little fucking help here, please. “Just get the other hand, we’re good.”
Selkies, such a beautiful piece of art by Ciara. Thank you so much .
A vibraphone, aka “vibes”
An MG Midget in bright red
Many songbirds on numerous wires…plotting the overthrow
