Not the saddest I know, but the saddest I've heard in a while. Finally got around to listening to the new Dawes LP. Was finishing up when I was on a run. As I was finishing the run, it came up. It was like a punch in the gut. I should only stick to my workout playlist.

I really enjoy the title of this thread.

Badass!

Actually, he hit on my wife once while he was drunk.

I have no reason to trust this critic having never seen this blog. Nevertheless, my anticipation is growing.

Wait, what other board?

I probably would have lost if he came up in a game of dead or alive. Hard to imagine the landscape of American music without him and Mike Stoller. Jailhouse Rock, Don't, Stand By Me, Yakety Yak, Hound Dog, Kansas City, On Broadway, Love Potion #9. Wow. BTW, Stoller lives on.

Didn't they start streaming W(TA) almost immediately after they had word it leaked?

Totally agree. This documentary is a better historical documentary than 95% of those that cover "real" history. The producers did their research and pieced together the cause and effect of the rise of skatboarding.

An exciting time to be working in Miami sports media.

I just won a game of computer solitaire. Actually, I lost

This had better not disappoint. Starting to get very high expectations.

My wife is going to Josh Groban tonight. I won 2 tickets, she won 4. I'm not sure there will be any paying customers there.

About 50/50. There are times I find the drone mesmerizing and others grating.

He'd fired Stamey by the time I saw him. That's a guy I'm pretty sure I would not want to work for. But, yes, that band was the best band he played with. Sugar was a tighter, one, but more limited.

Bob Mould - 1st Avenue, Fall 1989. Touring behind Workbook, his first solo LP. I discovered him through this album that spring and quickly worked my way back through Zen Arcade. By the time of that show, I realized how that album probably alienated a lot of his Husker fans in the Twin Cities. Before shows at First Avenue, they used to (maybe still do) show videos on a projection screen that doubles as a stage curtain, then an announcer (just like Alice Cooper in Purple Rain) announces the act, the screen rises, and the show begins. Bob looked about 50 lbs thinner than he did in his Husk

Breakfast of Champions really screwed with my head for a long time.

He booked the venue. Is Great American Ballpark booked solid with events every night the Reds aren't playing? C'mon. He generated more for the economy of Cincinnati than he took away.

Why? If he wasn't playing none of the vendors would have been working.

You're Paul Effin McCartney. Sir Paul Effin McCartney. You are probably the world's most famous and important living songwriter. You were an integral part of the most important band in rock history. The most important musical phenomenon of the twentieth century. You don't eat meat. You think it's immoral to eat meat. You have established yourself as a person who can make certain demands upon your audience and the venues you play. You do it. Period. He's not banning meat eaters from the concert, just meat itself. Maybe advertisements of meat products. He doesn't want to be associate

I think it's silly, but he's a Beatle. He gets to throw around his influence however he wants.

That's the spirit!

I think I pulled the original list of wikipedia, but did make some mistakes. I included O'Rourke purposefully, though, because his role was so important in YHF.

I was thinking about the impact each person had on Wilco is / was.
