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.

A couple of great things I've seen recently... Cunk on Life. A dense number of laughs per minute. Bad Sisters Season 2

Reading Bob Spitz's Beatles biography (is it a biography if it's about a band?). Good stuff. When they were in Hamburg, a promoter told them they needed to be better showmen, he would yell at them "Macht Schau!" (make show). I want a band to release a live album called "Macht Schau!"

2025 is really looking up... musicwise. The aforementioned Mould release, Dacus, Isbell, Deep Sea Diver. It's going to be a fun spring.

Bob Mould announced a new release for March.

I saw Heretic last week followed by a Q&A with directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. A pretty cool opportunity for Des Moines (they grew up in the nearby Quad Cities). It was a really fun movie. Hugh Grant was fantastic.

I have a playlist called "The Year David Bowie Died". In 2016, we lost Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, my mom to suicide, and the America I grew up in. This song is on that playlist. It resonates even stronger knowing that we lost the popular vote this time around.

Cowboy Junkies last night. Last-second purchase. Glad I went.

Sorry, just seeing this. I had a great time at Riot Fest. One of the better run festivals I've been to. Dead Milkmen and Descendents made me feel like high school again. Not enough to get into the pit, but so fun.

Me too! Leaving Des Moines at 3:30 to make it just in time. Then Riotfest all day tomorrow.

Califone "living room" show actually in a small non-music venue bar in Des Moines.

I've been in a tournament predictor pool with some friends. Leading since the 2nd day of group matches, I'm now tied for 2nd after England beat Netherlands. I have to get a bit crazy to reclaim 1st and win, so I'm picking England 1-0 with Foden scoring the goal.
