Good point. If Hillary would have engaged another couple percent of eligible voters who just sat out she would have won. This may be reductionist but the next Dem candidate has great odds because they're A. Not a Clinton and B. Probably coming up against an attempted Trump reelection. On a whole other note: I was deeply saddened to hear of McCain's brain tumor today. While I have often disagreed with him, I have still found him to be a genuine, earnest and respectable civil servant. It puts everything in context to me when I consider how absurd it was for me to consider him the worst imagi

I was surprised to hear snippets of electric guitar in there. I was also surprised to see this was recorded a year and a half ago. As always I can't help but wonder what he/they've been cooking up in that loft recently.

Well it appears the senate health bill is dead and we didn't even need McCain to have a life threatening emergency.

I'd say this (plus or minus bong) is the only way I know to listen to something which is even better than driving around with it. Unfortunately this doesn't really work with my wife. The very idea brings me back to my bachelor days.

New England friends, tell me about the Berkshires

Ha, no we aren't hitting up NH this go round. I was referring to a wilderness area in SW Mass. I basically looked up where people go for hikes around there and those were two recommended areas which contained waterfalls. The deal is we're going from Hartford to Lake Placid and hitting MA en route. -
My family is headed to up state NY by way of Hartford, CT so we're breaking up the drive for sightseeing, hikes, BnBs etc. We're looking to spend a day and a night in western Mass and I figured some folks on here know what's up. I'm curious about N. Adams as well as Mt Washington areas. Any recommendations?

Wait, how does this connect with Wilco?
-
That might be the most glowing review yet. The one thing that is consistent in all of these reviews is that "Dawned On Me" and "Hummingbird" aren't complimented by the treatment as much as the others. I wonder if those who've gotten some time with the record agree. As a side note Prefix should edit better, but so should a lot of online publications.

Oof the Senate's bill is just as rotten as the House's. I wonder if they can cram this crap through.
-
You shouldn't feel guilty. These are not new songs. This is the tunesmith version of a remix record.

I'm buying it on vinyl for one purpose. My baby daughter, my wife and I hang out in our living room where the turntable is. This has lead me to flesh out the Jackson Brown, Paul Simon, Kris Kristofferson side of my collection. This record will sit nicely in that realm of sonically gentle and lyrically rich. I suppose some would say that's dad rock. This dad is in!

I attack with love, pure bug beauty, you wake up with fleas.

You can't make an omelet and I've been puking. I think Yogi Berra once said that.

They ALWAYS bring it back to Hillary. What would it look like if years ago someone said "Jesus, this Obama guy!" And the only response was "Are you serious, have you seen McCain?"? Not a vote of confidence, more of a topic changer.

Those encores are pure rock blocks. And Company In My Back! Jealous. -
Yeah again, limited legal knowledge, but it seems it doesn't drastically change the story in either direction.
-
You can read Comey's opening statement online. My legal knowledge is slim but it looks like it isn't much we didn't already know, which is enough to enhance suspicion without being totally damning.

Sooooo... Jeff Sessions offered to resign. Can you imagine more of a shit show? I mean other than U.S. embassies having to tweet condolences to a nation mourning a tragedy while our President throws shade.
-
Weird, that's such a John song.
-
Agreed on all fronts, just add The Long and Winding Road and you have the short list of Fab Four songs I dislike.
-
I think we all agree on the vocals. I think Lennon hit a ragged R&B performance there that's similar to what Paul spent a million takes trying to conjure in 'Oh Darling' (an effort which was pretty fruitful).

Biggest surprises I'm loving: Rockies and Brewers. WTF: Mets and Royals
-
^ I remember the remaster they did just ten or so years ago being great. At some point they're just cashing in again.
-
That's really cool. My music major dorkness scoffed when he opened by saying how Paul also subdivided a measure by taking Little Richards 8 piano hits in a measure and changing it into 4 hits in a measure. And I went, "Oh you mean he played quarter notes on the beat?"
-
I love how shitty the organ solo is on that song. It makes me laugh out loud. There's something thrilling about hearing a "Beatles fail", like "They were mere mortals, and therefore fallible?"
