Hell Is Chrome.....for the imagery, minimal production and the guitar solo, which sounds like ice forming on a window pane in time lapse. The bouncy open of the song, which fades, is the yellow gold morning sun getting slowly fazed out by a bitter snow squall, that begins with tiny ice crystals and becomes an enveloping gray-blue haze.

Thumbs up

Yo! http://www.norahjones.com/news-1/2018/9/21/a-song-with-no-name-out-now

Nice! One more reason to watch! And listen!

This film sounds great, looking forward to watching. On another note....if anyone hasn't seen them yet, go see The Sadies, if you ever get the chance. They are one of the most talented, hard working bands in action. They'll be touring with Kurt Vile early next year, btw. Check em out!

Very funny. And in true Bob Dylan (of University Administration) fashion, you clearly aren't as affected as the rest of us might be, or don't give a fuck about what someone might think of what you do, which only strengthens your Dylaness. Thanks for the review!

Last Friday night in Buffalo! They kicked ass! Go see 'em!

Saw them on the first of their two nights at Massey Hall this past weekend. Epic show (not an exaggeration). They are taking their music to very big heights and expanding the songs in a really genuine way. Encore was one song...Like A Hurricane (that's right). I recommend that if you have the opportunity, go see them.

Looks like a working visit.....

Has anyone else been seeing these FB and instagram posts of the band recording at Ardent Studios? Dig......

Nice! They were such a fun SSF set. Thanks for the heads up, kidsmoke!

I think I can safely say that missing KM was the biggest "blew it" of SS for me. Didn't really get to dig in to his music before the weekend, but am now you tubing some, and it's great. Being a first time Sounder, this is exactly the kind of thing I thought could be discovered there. There was so much great music, however, everything I saw was a highlight. Peter Wolf was indeed one of them. Kurt Vile was also great to finally catch. Kid be grown. Miss again, never more.

IF I EVER WAS A CHILD on Delta Flight 1841 while boarding. A really nice distraction.

Do yourself a favor and go see these guys..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eR5D_hEQ4Y

Dinosaur Jr.! It's their hood, after all.

I can't tell if this performance of Layla by Clapton w/Derek Trucks and Doyle Bramhall II is them trying to sound like Wilco doing Impossible Germany, or if this is how Wilco tries to sound when they're playing IG.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg-9fd-fXEw

Excellent review! It's tough back here, right now. So thanks for such a vivid account. Jeff's right, there ARE more of us and we have the power to drive them out. Looking forward to SS and the much needed communal therapy it will provide.

Howdy, I have three tickets available for the 8/21 Pritzker Pavilion show....row JJ, seats 17-19. Songkick total was $283.50, which all I'm asking. If anyone is interested, just let me know. Thanks, db

I'm taking a wild stab.....The I Don't Cares

Nice photos. Tweedy got his hairs cut on the road...

I hope that what they come up with in their own 20th year is as good as this....

Bought the vinyl and received it last week (it's great). Downloaded the digital mp3 copies from Nonesuch today, have been playing in itunes and so far, each of the tracks I've played have ended prematurely and advanced to the next song. When I back to the song that ended early and scrub past the point that song ended early, it plays (so there is media there). However, when I play a song from the beginning and let it go, it ends early at the same spot. Anyone else experiencing this?

Saw them in Ithaca where they played JESUS WEPT (which was great). When they finished, Jeff said "That's the most worn out song there is", while chuckling. So, I'd agree he's probably game timing it. He's right, btw. It is a beautiful, but worn out song, indeed. Also, the criticism of Darin the bass player's stage presence is ridiculous. The dude plays great and is feeling it, reacting unaffected, but genuine, as I perceived it. Watch somebody else while you listen and lay off.

The only new TWEEDY song I've heard so far is I'll Sing It, and when I replay it in mind, I can't help but hear this voice and these opening lyrics.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPzDcfMJxIQ

For Tweedy (it's not the elder fellow I'm thinking of).....
