Yep!

Hanging out with Bob Mould today. Songwriting workshop, Q&A (which I may or may not be able to attend), solo show tonight. Wish it was w/ his band, but oh well. http://www.desmoinesmc.com/education/music-university/

Finished it Thursday night. I was watching it on my laptop and my wife kept laughing at me tensely grabbing my head during the climax. Wow!

Thanks. Well controlled under meds, but seizures are scary as shit.

Seizures fucking suck. My 9 year old son has epilepsy. PM me if you feel the need to discuss further.

Monster has some great moments. Not their best, but I love that they made a solid rock record after Automatic for the People.

True Detective is amazing. I always feel like humanity is a big pile of Ebola infested shit after watching it; but in a good way.

50 really seems to be a bizarrely magic number here.

I think there's about much substance in the hate being dumped on Ryan Adams' image here is there is in the accusations of Wilco being dad rock.

Well said.

Bill Bryson - One Summer It's about 1927. Charles Lindbergh, Babe Ruth, Calvin Coolidge, the seeds of the Great Depression. Good stuff.

Whoa!

Aeropress is the correct answer. Like a French press but with a paper filter. Love mine and it was about $25 from Amazon.

Prolly anything by Richard Thompson since he turned 50.

I don't know if it's quite essential, but Bowie's latest, The Next Day, is very, very good.

Some of my favorites come close. NY by Lou Reed, Graceland by Paul Simon, Harvest Moon by Neil Young. But not quite. Still thinking.

Maybe they realize it's not a fan favorite. Wilco has made very savvy business decisions throughout their career. I can't imagine there's just one LP in their Nonesuch catalog has different legal standing than the others.

I'll be over in a bit.

We saw the acoustic group last May. Kunkel is indeed fantastic. Check his credits on allmusic.com. Impressive resume. I think bringing some younger musicians aboard (not necessarily Kunkel) has re-energized Lovett. It seems like maybe his best songwriting days may be behind him, but his performing is going through a Renaissance.

Nope. Pipe dream.

On Fallon which I'm sure many of you know, but so is KEEF! Will he play with the band? That might melt my soul.

I tend to agree with this, but I worry that by the time it becomes clear that "boots on the ground" are needed, it might be too late and have cost more American lives or serious damages to our interests (homeland terror strike, use or seizure of WMDs, etc.). Like you, I'm no military expert, so I am going to hope and pray that the experts know what they are doing and persuade our leadership to take the actions that will keep us safe. It' a huge leap of faith.

F?

I guess I wouldn't have enough interest to make demands of people I agree with. I think I'd tend to post facts or arguments myself in reply to something I agreed with if it seemed lacking. My big question about ISIS are they really interested in building a "state"? If so, are they much of a threat for terror attacks here? There have been some menacing tweets in support of Isis with the White House or Chicago skyline in the background. That's disconcerting, but it could very well have no muscle behind it. Russia's another story. I heard about a cease fire last night. I hope it holds, b

Here's an interesting idea for you when making an argumen: Provide facts or sound reason. People might actually take you seriously.
