lost highway

I like many of these a lot (not Jerry so much but I get it). Sometimes when I think about the many years of great creations from Ira Kaplan it impresses me, maybe even more than Stephen Malkmus who occupies a similar sphere. No, maybe not like Tweedy where I'd rush to see him pull up a stool and an acoustic, but a staggeringly joyous catalog of music. As much as he has annoyed me at different points Paul McCartney (in spite of being obvious) has made way too many wonderful things not to mention.

Radiohead (I may have done this before) My Iron Lung Paranoid Android Idioteque Jigsaw Falling Into Place Pyramid Song Bob Dylan Visions of Johana Corrine, Corrina Mr. Tambourine Man Sara Girl From the North Country (Freewheelin Version) PJ Harvey Big Exit A Perfect Day Elise White Chalk C'mon Billy Who the Fuck?

The mere request for immunity increases suspicion in my eyes.

Feist!

Now he's putting it all on the line. I'm on the edge of my seat with no idea how this gambit will play. http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN16U14Q

And they delayed the vote on the health care bill! Apparently someone has lost touch with the art of the deal.

More news on Manafort: He laundered money for a pro-Russian Ukrainian group.

Fox called out the wire tap claim as false BEFORE Trump did. Crazy. I also saw a headline from an unreliable online source saying they're booting Judge Nepolitano (sp?). I'd love to corroborate that. Could Fox be going the way of George W where you think you like them for a minute because they appear slightly less awful?

I just read that the FBI had to respond, and correct Trump's misleading tweets about the case mid-hearing. Live tweets. This is what our country is coming to. Officials are fact checking the president's social media live in court.

That whole story is straight up scary stuff.

By a Hawaiian judge no less! Trump is fuming. I love this shit.

The dance around this health care bill is fascinating. Obviously dems, as well as some republican reps of the very moderate and extremely conservative types are against it. The really interesting thing is the 20 ft pole Trump is barely touching it with. Ryan is the only prominent figure championing it loudly. It has become politically treacherous for many congress people.

^ Ha!

I will say the back half drags a bit. Steal the Crumbs is okay, but Farrar wrote at least a half dozen similar slow folky ballads which are better. High Water is similar, but more boring. The pedal steel playing on it is nice though. I think the other tracks are pretty great though. Good tunes from both songwriters.

Totally. Although, I'm not sure he placed the diversion far enough away. It's still part of the Russian narrative.

We found out my 6 month old daughter is in the 13th and 33rd percentile for height and weight respectively, yet the 99th for head size. I'm wondering if my wife will mind if I start calling her "Heed!".

"Obama wiretapped me!". Curiouser and curiouser.

^ No knock on cyclists, I kind of am one. I just find mixed bag, corporate swag events are weird. I like to just go see a band or two at a theatre when it's their night. This might make me a persnickety fussbudget.

Right? How many Russian ties are going to come up before we hit critical mass?

You used to be able to hate him with a brief glance at his words. Now we might have to think for half a minute why what he's saying is stupid/dangerous/evil. More of a GWB situation.

It's a bicycle related fest which is questionable, but yeah that's a good couple bands. Not much of a Deathcab fan though I know that puts me in the minority.

Oh yeah, so there's 6 out of 12 they seldom play. Maybe they do Nope a little more. But I suppose in a packed setlist the ones they do live are bigger crowd pleasers. I'd love to see them do Just Say Goodbye though, that one gets me.

I thought that too, but I think they've only played Common Sense and Just Say Goodbye in front of people once or twice. Quarters is also not in the rotation, so I guess some of these songs just aren't part of their regular repertoire (that took several tries to spell).

I just pulled out the liner notes for Heartbreaker. Somehow I never knew that Pat Sansone played on that record.... crazy.
