Grocery Rock.

The back half is definitely stronger than the front for me.

thanks... interesting. can't be too many of those floating around out there.

+1... that was cool. I know less than zero about guitars and such, but here's a question for you all. When there's a "1959 Jazzmaster" or a "1967 Gibson thisandthat" or whatever, does it mean that it's really a vintage / antique instrument? Is Nels playing a 50+ year old instrument, or is it a more recently made instrument of the 1959 design? Same with Jeff and all the other ones we see. How does that all work? thanks...

Pretty much +1 for me. I'm about halfway through spin #2 and nothing is grabbing me yet. I liked eraser well enough (in spots) but this one will need some more time or something.

I liked it. It was kind of like a really, really good cover version in that it brought out things I hadn't heard or paid much attention to in the original. I love the album itself so the combination of familiarity and newness was nice. The weirdness of the original was kinda fresh again. "Trippy" is a good term. Worth a good listen with headphones or earbuds.

there's a bit of the recording here https://soundcloud.com/rc428/side-1-x-100

I'm OK, you're OK.

everybody knows google's in on it.

Wilco on my 50th birthday in Rochester NY, including "When You Wake Up Feeling Old". I also discovered I share a birthday with Stan. Cool stuff. Andrew Bird here in Lexington. Snuck into sound check and really enjoyed seeing that side of things. Springsteen's tour opener in Atlanta. Wow. Jeff Tweedy solo at the Vic. Which immediately followed Kentucky beating Louisville in the final four that me, my wife, SonicShoulder and his buddy all watched in a bar down the street from the Vic and then dashed to the show just in time. A truly fabulous evening. Radiohead in Cinci. Those guys

I'm having a little trouble visualizing (audiolizing?) the Stipe selection on Wed.

Dave Matthews Band. First time to take all 3 kids. Not exactly youngsters, 17,18,20... the 18YO's first concert. He's not as much into music as the other two (or me), and he's really excited about this one. Should be fun. My first "jam band" show, not counting Wilco of course.

Not a great interview (Dave seems to take forever to ask a question that shouldn't take quite that long), but JPJ is one funny smartass dude.

Somebody needs to tell Ira that sentence length does not equal journalistic quality. That was painful.

Y'all stay up too late (null)

Radiohead - Electioneering. Real, real loud.

There's one in every crowd.... when Lammy shows up, there's two.

Just a simple "yes" or "no"... did you exercise your right to vote in today's presidential election?

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

While we're on the subject, any thoughts on why my iPhone app says that this ivision app is now discontinued and I need a new one? The new one isn't free. Well, it's only 99 cents but hey I'm cheap.

We saw the movie last night, and I thought it was a great performance. We also had to "encourage" the theater people to crank it up, and they did. The musicianship was really, really good... better than I expected and just sharp as a tack all around. I thought JPJ looked a little winded / strained at times, but wow did he deliver. I usually can't sit through a whole concert film but this was really special start to finish. I agree with the sentiment that it was a special one-night stand, and probably couldn't hold up all that magic on a tour. But Jimmy Page sure looked like he has a fe

Cool stuff. That is one bigass planeship.

there, there... don't blame yourself. when our kids were being borned (early 90's), the big thing in all the books was to play Beethoven for them while they were in the womb. we played Pink Floyd. ... now for the most part, they all have pretty good taste in music. Louie's right, it's all good.

I listened to Monster today, and Circus Envy is just one helluva great rock n roll song.

No.
