New Mavis Staples Album Written & Produced by Jeff Tweedy
calvino replied to Boss_Tweedy's topic in Just A Fan
This is pretty cool news for Greg Kot and Mavis. Nice to see the city stepping out a bit and picking this book. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-ae-one-book-0917-story.html Also Kot and Mavis will do a talk at the Harold Washington Library in December. https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/events/59bc42933e46b1350092125a -
Yeah that definitely sucks about the St.Louis show - bunch of wife's friends had tickets. Guess it was a good thing that the Cardinals were up here in Chicago playing this weekend - be curious if they would have canceled the Cardinal game or moved it. Guess MLB canceled a Baltimore O's game when they were playing the White Sox game a few years back under similar circumstances. Guessing the U2 show will not be rescheduled.

We still haven't gotten around to watching Season 2 of Saul. We watched Season 1 and thought it was okay - it never really clicked, though. I am sure we will get to Season 2 one of these days. Been watching Catastrophe on Amazon Prime -- great, funny British sitcom.

Yeah the Joshua show I saw in Chicago this past summer was great - glad we finally gotten around to see them. When it was announced, we thought hard about driving down to St. Louis to catch the Beck/U2 show there , but decided to leave it on a high note. The show is tomorrow and there is still plenty of tickets left - including the $70 GA floor tickets. Of course, it looks like it may get ugly in St. Louis this weekend -- be interesting to see if Bono mentions the latest not-guilty verdict against a police officer who was accused of murder that was announced today...

More so back in the day, but it's always helpful to have a reminder. "Phone my family, tell them I'm lost On the sidewalk And, no, it's not OK… "

Dylan and Staples will be sharing a concert bill on October 27th in Chicago - it'd be nice if Tweedy shows up, too. -
Next up for my political mail writing/phone bank group. From the resentful in WI to this. Also finally onto Book 3 of Dos Passos' USA trilogy.

Via Spotify - Listening to the cd 2 of the Life's Rich Pageant - never realized that Bad Day dates back to these sessions. Always enjoyed the tune. The only time I went to Red Rocks was for a REM/Wilco show. Bad Day was one of the highlights. Great night of music -- I think the high was in the 40's that night.

He lost the long beard, I see.

Indeed - a great read.
-
That's the first one I threw on today, too.

Steely Dan is on those bands that I have been listening to since high school --- the majority of my friends goofed on me for enjoying them. My wife can't stand them, either. Definitely a unique sound -- the music is so great, though.

At least you didn't order it again when you got today's email.

They announce this over a month ago -- i am guess the sales must be sluggish - I just got the " RFK STADIUM 1989 BOX BREAKING NEWS" email too. I did see the 7/12/89 show when in played in theaters last month - it was a fun show, but I will skip this one. Probably would spring for it if they included DVD's of both the shows - esp. at that price point. Also part of the email was about who bought Garcia's Wolf http://www.dead.net/features/interviews/all-family-brian-halligan?cmpid=dn/2017September1/AllInFamilyBria-ReadItHere-main-more-4&eml=2017September1/4095617/6131962&etsubid=39846

Rather long piece from Stereogum - even starts off with a Wilco reference (I haven't read through the whole piece, yet). I enjoy the latest one, thus far, after two listens. http://www.stereogum.com/1958113/premature-evaluation-the-war-on-drugs-a-deeper-understanding/franchises/premature-evaluation/

I agree - probably will pass on seeing them due to the venue.

We came down Saturday - more than usual traffic, but it wasn't too bad (we make this trip around 8-10 times a year - my in-laws are from down here.) We are heading up tomorrow. We went up to my wife's family church, which is out in the country and on top of a hill. There were about 4 other groups of people there. The locals are definitely taking advantage of the event, selling shirts and such.

We drove down to Southern IL - where it got to 100% --- real cool. My eight year old totally loved it, it kinda freaked my five year old out. Well worth the drive. Can't wait to 2024.

"Keep you Day Job" - 80's. I thought the note that Hunter wrote in Box of Rain - his book of lyrics- was pretty funny. http://artsites.ucsc.edu/GDead/agdl/djob.html

Fuck that sucks --- guess you can check with your neighbors, maybe they heard/saw something - though I am guessing they would have already told you if they did. Maybe it was random action or they had the wrong house/car --- I would really hate to think that we are coming to a point where people are smashing random cars because of a 'Resist' sticker - but I guess I wouldn't be surprised, either.

Now, he isn't even going to keep up his job creation charade anymore - due to the all the CEO's bailing. from Trump. "Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council &Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both. Thank you all!"

It would have been cool if they would have worked up "Two Souls in Communion" in the studio.
-
In other news listening to 6/14/76, again. Such a great Music Never Stopped. Whole show is great -- with 6/15, it would make a great release. Both shows were in the recent Betty Board retrieval.

Oh - it's not that bad --- any way A-Man needs the 17 pages to think of new sub-topic-tag for eleventh Dead topic thread -- though it should be easy for eleven.

Silberman is a smart cookie - maybe he figured out some Dead portal to the future... Bar-Lev said that Silberman was one of his best and most interesting interviews - he went to his place to talk to him for a bit and ended staying hours. A lot of it was left on the cutting room floor - not guessing you gonna search out the Easter Egg for the extra footage if the DVD is released... Anyway I am with you jff --- don't really understand any of this hostility (perhaps too strong of a word) -- the film had holes. Bar-Lev has said as much.
