Just finished this one ... how I've lived in Kentucky these past ~40 years and not read her books is an embarrassment, but started with Prodigal Summer and worked my way through this one.  She's a brilliant writer.

I'll be sorely disappointed if I don't see a "Bull Black Nova" sign at YLT .  

Got some bad news there amigo... the sign has been officially retired.  May work on something new sign-wise, but the OG BBN is going under glass. 
See ya at the show(s)!!

Try the secondary market.  I checked yesterday and the prices weren't that outrageous.  

Thanks - saw one on stubhub that was reasonable.  Trying the YLT FB group too.

Happy to see that Jeff didn't schedule over the Yo La Tengo show in Chicago on 3/24.  Coincidence? 

Well shit.  Now I need a ticket for that and it's sold out.  Sigh...

BYOB - Bring Your Own Blanket!!

Certainly leaves you wanting more!

Nary a bit o' rust (for either of you) after the wee break.

ATTABOY!!!!!

Very interested in the upcoming Peter Gabriel record. 

Also, in the gezelligheid show I saw last month, Andrew Bird said that his next record would be a jazz record.  Yes please.

At a Strand of Oaks show last weekend, Pat Finnerty (who now plays guitar for Strand of Oaks and also does the “Why This Song Stinks” podcast) opened the show for SoA by playing random covers that the audience or he wanted to hear. 
Patrick saw a guy in the audience who really did look a lot like Jeff and said “hey Tweedy guy, here’s one for you” (or something like that) and then they played Outtasite.

Califone (again); living room show this time but still full band. Should be interesting.

 They are playing a living room show very near me tomorrow night --- but of course I already had tickets for another show tomorrow night. Would have been cool to go.

Well shit - I’m going to that one too.

How was it? 

I have an off night in Chicago between Califone shows next week, and she's playing.  I haven't listened to her much, but her new record sounds a little ... sleepy? Wondering how she is live.

Good read - thanks for posting.
I have no answers, but I'm pretty optimistic it'll sort itself out without imploding.

Covid changed everything.  I don't think we know how (collectively) to reset long term yet. Work, school, live music... all of it.
