Mavis Staples, Whitney, Parquet Courts (from a distance), The Decemberists again doing The Crane Wife in full, and.... some songwriter named Jeff Tweedy.

A (very) young Cowboy Poet actually really liked Weezer, one of the first bands I ever got into and a gateway to Pixies, Nirvana, etc. But I don't think I could make it through a Weezer set in 2018... (maaaybe if it was just Blue and Pinkerton played back to back... for the nostalgia!!). But fortunately, it was a non-Weezer show. The band that opened is Sleigh Bells and they were the worst goddamn band I've ever seen. I'd watch Weezer play Beverly Hills a thousand times before I'd ever watch one of their sets again. They were 90% prerecorded, with two guys with BC Rich metal guitars doing some

The Decemberists, Waxahatchee, Death Cab For Cutie. Yeah no complaints from me, they were great! Paz even sang Gigantic which I wasn't expecting.

The Pixies!

Wait, did I misread that or are you saying Nels sang What Light?! Also that line up looked great this year, hope you had fun!

Is this fucking guy for real?

Hiss Golden Messenger!

Isn't Can't Stand It shot in a hospital?? I can't seem to find Can't Stand It on YouTube and it's been at least 12 years since I've seen it so my memory might not be the most reliable but there is definitely (probably) a Can't Stand It video where Jeff is on a stretcher of some sort.

Kacy & Clayton and Waxahatchee!

Courtney Barnett!

The Flaming Lips!

Yeah I was originally looking at camping but AirBnB looks pretty affordable in North Adams especially if you can get a group together.

I saw Hereditary on Monday. I'm not the biggest horror fan but everything, the cinematography, the acting, the score, worked together to create an intense sense of dread throughout the whole film. By the end of it I was stressed out and my anxiety was peaking. The wife really wants to watch it when it's on VOD but I don't know how I'm going to sit through that film again!! I can't recommend it enough.

The wife and I got lucky, she got us row 3 for Vancouver and GA for Victoria, while I found floor tickets for Seattle.

I had to do a double take this morning when I saw not one but TWO BC dates. Folks, this goes to show that whining and complaining works!!

Nice choice.

Nice!! Didn't know there was another VC'er there. Byrne was great, we watched him on the hill but I wish we were closer. The National was great too, though since I'm tall Matt almost took me out with his mic chord when he got into the crowd!! I loved Spoon too, I'd never seen them before but it was a great performance.

Bejamin Clementime, Julien Baker, Margo Price, Wolf Parade, David Byrne, and then Bon Iver.

I saw Pete Yorn live once and I can agree with u2roolz. That was 2003 and I don't think I've listened to Pete Yorn since. Just boring. Is this the most people have talked about Pete Yorn in 15 years?!

Watched It Follows earlier this weekend. A good movie elevated to great status thanks to a superb soundtrack. Rewatched Black Panther last night on VOD. I think it's in the Dark Knight tier of great super hero movies. Not only that but I feel it's culturally one of the most important movies in a long, long time.

Still waiting for my vinyl to arrive, but I couldn't wait so I've played it on Spotify a few times. It sounds great. Not a dud on it. Though nothing has jumped out on me the way Dead Fox, Depreston, Avant Gardener did but that could change with a few more listens.

It's weird because the question is "What artist (author, musician, director, actor... hell, even painter) do you always like and think delivers good work but never rises to the level of greatness?" but the response is for everything post YHF. Seems like someone's trying hard for a hot take.

Is Jim just not coming back to America??

Thanks for sharing nalafej. Google Translate does some really great stuff, check out this line: Last summer in Pori Jazz, American band Wilco's sweatshirt Jeff Tweedy announced on their interviews that their drummers moved to Finland. Also according to Google at one point Glenn just slides out a window mid interview. If that's not rock'n'roll I don't know what is.
