  1. I initially thought I liked it, but haven't listened to it in a LONG time. I guess I liked the idea of a Louris/Olson Jayhawks LP more than the reality.
  2. Not nearly enough there for me to form an opinion.
  3. My favorite so far. Great drums.
  4. This is in 3/4 isn't it? I'd be surprised if he doesn't at least 1 waltz per release. Pretty common in traditional country music that's been a big influence on him.
  5. I would suggest another reason he hasn't been more apologetic is that he did nothing wrong. It was great that Lucinda played a make-up gig that night. She's not from Chicago and probably doesn't play there nearly as often as Jeff does. I interpreted your tone from the use of the phrase "The only reason I can think of" as to suggest that if Mr. Tweedy doesn't announce a make-up show sometime soon that he has somehow slighted his fans. There were storms, the organizers of the event canceled it, not him. Tweedy will most certainly play again in the Chicago area whether something imminent or
  6. The best team won. Well done, Deutschland!
  7. From little Shenandoah, Iowa to the jazz clubs of NYC, he helped define the avant garde as part of Ornette Coleman's quartet on the Shape of Jazz to come. Several years ago he recorded a nice album of traditional American music called Rambling Boy that I thoroughly enjoy. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/entertainment/music/2014/07/12/charlie-haden/12567309/?sf28452070=1
  8. And Iggy lives. RIP to the producer of The Replacements' Tim as well.
  9. I do like this better than Summer Noon though.
  10. That post needs a rimshot.
  11. A bit more exciting than that new video.
  12. AM - Blue Eyed Soul BT - (Was I) In Your Dreams (harder for this LP than I anticipated) MA1 - Hesitating Beauty (just considering the Tweedy-sung songs here) ST - My Darling MA2 - Joe DiMaggio Done it Again (Bragg has a few clunkers on here, but not Tweedy) YHF - ITMWLY (probably only for its ubiquity in their live sets, I think Mountain Bed ruined this for me) AGIB - Less Than You Think (even w/o the drone, it's a good song but the weakest on the LP) SBS - What Light W(TA) - Everlasting Everything (worst in the catalog) TWL - Standing O
  13. Cheap beer. I have no favorite, just whichever I crave at the time. We've grilled a TON of Italian sausage links recently. I could eat those every day during the summer.
  14. Can't believe there were 4 posts w/o Everlasting Everything.
  15. Oh, and I didn't respond to Beltmann's comment about the restroom. I don't think people in other professions quite understand how bad this can be. You're supervising kids 45-60 minutes at a pop (maybe more on "block scheduling"). During passing time, you need to set up for your next class and/or answer questions from students. I've had more than one person who's left the profession tell me how nice it is to have the freedom to go whenever the need arises.
  16. FWIW, this site is blocked at my school. There are much more profane places (The Onion is one fairly timid example) that aren't.
  17. Yeah, I turn of my phone too. I think I'm a rarity in my building. That's a great point. Unfortunately, there are a number of colleagues (those under 30 predominately, though not exclusively) check their phones openly during class while students are forbidden from bringing theirs. And while I sometimes waste time during lunch or (quite rarely, but sometimes) planning time, I know I'll pay for it later.
  18. I am a teacher. I work very hard at my job. I know some who work harder (especially if the take on other duties like coaching and truly give their all to teaching and their extra assignment), some don't work nearly as hard. From what I can tell of my friends, family, and acquaintances in other fields, it's about the same. My brother, an attorney, works insane hours. I have friends who are doctors and dentists. Some seem to work harder than me, others not so much. My dentist doesn't work that hard at all, but he's happy with his smaller practice. So yeah, basically agreeing with Hixter
  19. AM - I Must Be High BT - Monday (The Lonely 1 is a very close runner up) MA1 - California Stars ST - Can't Stand It MA2 - Secret of the Sea YHF - IATTBYH (This LP is so hard) AGIB - Theologians (Spiders is another close runner up) SBS - Either Way W(TA) - One Wing TWL - One Sunday Morning
