Julien Baker

Y'all done real good Donna. 

Mavis Staples

^ Fantastic shot!!

Fruit Bats solo (Eric) & Vetiver solo (Andy)

Yo La Tengo, night 2.

I didn't get a great look at the setlist. But I'm sure by this point, that's the way it's probably written everytime...

if not then it should be.

Excellent once again sir!

“Evergreen”.... as in “Childlike and Evergreen”? What a treat!

And I wonder if his written setlist has “Vince’s BBN” these days? Probly should. Nice to see it in heavy rotation sans signage.

Cheers and see ya at the Vic.

Nicely done sir J!

Next album title: Hiatus in the Hoosegow: Jeff Tweedy Live in Canada.

Also, he mentioned there was only one of his songs that ever was played at weddings.  He waited while people called out possibilities and said he wouldn't play until we guessed.

 

(And he took Bull Black Nova out of contention.)

For a first wedding, sure.  But for a second marriage / wedding, I dunno.....

Nova’s.... out of tune Kel’s..... bbop recap’s.... snarky banter....

And all was right with the world.

Today I was let go from my Job without warning. 

Thanks everyone. I made the misteak of not being an ass kisser and having an opinon and I paid the price. Everything happens for a reason I guess and yes I just started less than 5 months ago.

Sorry to hear that man.  Yes, everything happens for a reason.  Hang in there and look forward to what's next.

At the Knoxville venue (Mill & Mine) last night while seeing the Flaming Lips.

It was a little awkward. 

Today (well actually 2 days ago) I learned that I'm going to be a grandmother in November. I never have been before so I hope I don't blow it. Brennan and Mariela are giddy with excitement...so cute to watch.

Oh my.

Congrats gal!!

I just want to direct everyone to this article: Despite all their rage, Smashing Pumpkins' tour isn't selling well, which has an incredible opening line (plus a random appearance from a former VC admin!).

I guess it's true what they say.... you either a die a rock hero or live long enough to start talking about shape shifters on Infowars and Joe Rogan.

Funny they should mention Louisville.  I was checking out seats for that one right at the on-sale time, and once TM settled down after a few minutes you could see that there we an awful lot of seats available. 

The funny(er) thing is that they were just there a couple years or so ago on the "Plainsong" tour, in a much smaller venue (theater vs arena).  I went to that show, because they released / price dropped the "platinum" seats that had been held back just a couple days before the show.  So I was able to get Row A just behind the pit on the center aisle for $50. 

So yeah, I'd love to go again, but not for $125 in an arena for a decent seat..

Seeing them for the 4th time Thurs in RI

How was Ben & the Band ?

Loose, loud, and a total blast. Much fun. He played some solo stuff and a couple quieter songs he did for a movie (his brother’s perhaps?) in the middle which made a nice overall set. Really fun show.

My first btw.
