Sigh. Past the 12:00 mark and still didn't sell junior's drum set.

Yard sale day!

The venue website for the Louisville show says "Jeff Tweedy with Special Guest The Minus 5" for the June 11 date. Songkick shows them with Jeff on June 9 and 10 (Baltimore and Washington), but not Louisville on the 11th. And a few other dates w/o Jeff. I'm very excited about that news. Could get very interesting.

Today I drove all the way across southern Indiana, taking the scenic route instead of I-64, while listening to the Mermaid Avenue records in their entirety. Rural southern Indiana is a fascinating part of the country. The drive was great, the weather was beautiful, and the Americana soundtrack was just perfect.

Spencer is the new Yoko.

I wonder if there's some Nels vocals on the next wilco record?

This week has been 5 Mondays in a row.

When I went to mail my mom a card yesterday at the post office, they made me buy a 70 cent stamp instead of the normal one. Apparently the card felt "puffy" since it had a little ribbon thingie on it (inside the envelope) and they said it couldn't be "machine processed" and cost more.

it still holds up pretty well for me.

Jane Says - Jane's Addiction. The louder, the better.

Pop tarts. the little foil wrappers are impervious to radiation or other ill affects.

not since that one time when he set it on fire

why are painters' outfits white?

Seven Zed Heaven is 11:15 of gorgeousness.

I would love to see him, and really wanted to get Louisville tickets. But all the lower arena tickets are (were) $250. That is just absurd in my book.

Today I realized that none of our kids are going to a prom this year, as they have all graduated high school. This was accompanied by a wave of stresslessness and gratitude.

We saw St. Vincent do a cover of Lithium on Tuesday night in Cinci as an encore. She nailed it.

Thank you Wilco presale.... 3rd row dead center for Louisville Jeff solo.

St. Vincent

Finally some wilco dates!

Gallon Drunk. In Budapest. On a barge. Should be interesting.

it's all about today, really. tomorrow never knows.

Had "Cycle", "Wave", and "Phase" on a loop in the car today. Really left me wanting more of that. I wonder what "Wave" would be if he took a "One Sunday Morning" approach to it... I could see it being a 10 minute song that seemed to last only 5.

Is it just me, or do John and Jason have an awfully similar head of hair?
