The Tweedy Show Tuesday November 24 Episode 124 

-- Jeff jokes that the show will go on until there aren't any clients left watching.

I did not consider this a joke.  More of a legally binding obligation from Artist to Clients. 

If need be, we can start a gofundme for legal funding to enforce this. 

WHO'S WITH ME ON THIS???

Hope to meet up in real life in the post-Covid times!! Came close in Madison..

I posted this over on the facebook about this topic:

It’s weird, but it reminded me how weird YHF sounded when I first listened to it many many moons ago.

It really brings out some of that feeling of awe and wonder and fascination I had with YHF at first.

I miss that.

 

Very much worth a spin y'all.

The "in your face, dear" version of You and I was a hoot and a half.  Loved it!!  And I don't even especially like that song! 

Top 5:

Fiona Apple

St. Vincent

Mavis

Ohmme

Rorey Carroll (check it out)

And a couple of highly regarded below the line:

Sharon Van Etten

Liz Cooper (and the Stampede)

I’m in the same boat as you. I watched the Offerman live stream, but never received an email at all. I was going to give them a few weeks to see if I would receive anything. I’ll contact them today.

damn. well i emailed the noonchorus guy so i guess i will see what's up. i did recently move but confirmed that my current address was the right one in my profile.

Also ordered with the Offerman live stream.  The email I got was from "The Seminary Co-op Bookstore" via stamps.com and had a tracking link.  Took two weeks from teh time it "shipped" but finally arrived. 

Today's episode #24 is a particular favorite of mine.  Check it out!

(I saw a tweet last night addressing all of these conspiracy theories and then landing on "Occam's razor:  he's dumb and he caught it".   Yep, that is highly likely.)

Interesting observation for sure.

If you have changed your screen name since you started on VC originally, try using the latest one rather than the original one.

Certainly a delightful evening, and what I'd call "as good as it gets" in the times we're in.  Great music, VERY safe environment (at the expense of a more intimate experience, but definitely a good, appropriate trade-off), and a really emotional time for everyone.  Jeff made it very clear all night that he was thrilled / grateful / relieved to be back on stage.  He said right off that it was gonna be tough getting them OFF the stage, and then quipped that they were going to "play all night" before dashing all our hopes by telling that no, they really had a strict curfew there... sigh.  He also indicated that they considered blowing the shofar to start the show, but just didn't want to tempt things too much.  Probly for the best....

He loved being up there with the kids for sure.  I think if he could have had Basil up there for a tune or two he would have been off the charts of thrilledness.  He mentioned at one point that the boys we're "created by me", but then backpedaled that one quickly and later said that Susie in fact had grown them inside her!

Great seeing VC and other regular folks again.. even if it was just on the virtual sidewalk waiting to get in (and catching quite a few soundcheck tunes too!), or inside the show from a distance (or 6' apart for a quick chat).  It was hard to tell who was handling Wilcrew duty up on stage with masks and distance, but Eric, Stan, and Ashley (PK) were all around and about, and it was nice seeing their familiar (yet covered) faces around again.

Jeff mentioned that he didn't think it would replace "the real thing", but I'd say it was a much needed, well done (as always), and enjoyable night... "together".

We could see a drone flying around but they never did show any shots from it on the big video screens. Were there any good angles from that?

First spin - sounds more “musical” than some of their other recent albums. Looking forward to spending some quality time with this one.

ALTWYS might be my new second favorite solo acoustic song! Love the way that turned out.

The Tweedy Show Tuesday August 25 Episode 89

 

-- WAP is discussed. Jeff goes on record that he wants WAP to be played at his funeral.

!

Well, now it’s official!!

Many happy returns of the day!!!

Maybe make a sign "ELECTRIC" and hold it up?  Do people still do that? 

Yes.  Yes they / we / I do. 

Less effective over IG though... sigh. 

I'd like to see Jeff do another "electric" episode.  The other electric set was one of the best shows.

I fully support this sentiment.

Must be that solo record he mentioned would be his next album. October release date to coincide with the new book??

Sooooo..... the record will be ONE SONG??? 

Listened to the first episodes.  A pleasant experience overall.  Could use a little more basset hound content tbh. 

Transitioning into the "pay per view" version of this a little bit nowadays.

Andrew Bird a couple weeks ago...

Lucero last weekend...

GBV today!!

Probably Yo La Tengo this weekend

Ken Stringfellow and another round of ABird next weekend. 

Cheap, entertaining, and hopefully kicks a few coins to the ones we miss a lot. 

Been awhile since a Jayhawks post was added. Anyone pick up XOXO? The three cuts I have heard so far are solid. 

Yep.  I like it, but I really liked the last couple records as much as any of the early stuff.  This one is a bit of a musical buffet, with everyone in the band doing a couple songs of their own along with some pretty good Louris tunes.  I like that Gary's in a good place now and I think you can really hear it in these last few records. 

Well said Isaac and thanks for sharing.

We’ll hold you accountable next summer in North Adams to find more of us irl. Just look for the hugs, that’ll be us.

Vince

Very interesting.  Where do I sign up?
