Going to try really hard to make this happen. My family was already planning to be with some extended family on Cape Cod for the 4th.

Is this the most recent Bob thread?!? Totally pumped for the Sugar reunion. I won't be able to swing shows in NYC or London, so I hope it expands. The new song is pretty damn good. Malcolm Travis is a very distinct drummer.

Whoa! Didn't realize that. I was there with my friend, Bill, so was a bit disappointed they didn't play "Where the Hell is Bill?" Just seeing the played the 9:30 Club the next night where they did play it.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/arts/music/jeff-tweedy-twilight-override.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ok8._kv5.e5nxKV9LdUB-&smid=url-share Should get you past the paywall. Love "Sad-inista".

I recently finished The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach. A baseball novel that's so much more than a baseball novel. Highly recommend.

Riot Fest today and tomorrow. Most excited to see Jack White. But also Weird Al, Camper Van Beethoven, Superchunk, Hold Steady.

His new L.P. is fantastic!

The Ballad of Wallis Island. Music obsessives should love this film. A bit reminiscent of Nick Hornby's book (and movie adaptation) Juliet, Naked. Maybe better? I think it speaks to what artists do for audiences and vice versa. It's on Peacock for available to rent on the usual streaming services.

I recently finished Percival Everett's James. I really loved it. The end was surprising and satisfying. Highly recommend. I'm now reading Ken Callait's Making of Rumours. He was the lead producer, as well as the father of Colbie. I'm reading it because I saw Stereophonic on Broadway last November and he sued the writers. They settled. The book is ok. Not as exciting as I'd hoped. Callait comes off as a real 70s music biz dude in some of the worst possible ways, glorifying his excesses and sexual conquests. Can't recommend.

No discussion about Sinners here yet? Fantastic! Don't miss the credits!!

Deep Sea Diver tonight. Bob Mould tomorrow night.

Now more than ever!

Leaning towards driving to a casino an hour away to see Los Lobos and Los Lonely Boys tonight.

I liked A.M. more, but I think Windfall and Drown were the two best songs from either album. The rest of Trace is good, but those tracks are great.

This is as brilliant and unsettling as television gets. As a middle school teacher, so much of it rang true. I fear for this generation, especially the boys.
