I hope he doesn’t lurk on here, as I’ve poked fun at him more than once.
I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but his combination of ADHD and hyperbole really grate on me. Does anyone know if he’s on the spectrum?
Don't want to derail this topic, but seems like a pretty ignorant thing to say about the Autism spectrum, as well as ADHD. I'm a clinical psychologist. The answer to both is no.

I like Dave but he is polarizing to some, a bit too much of a mild mannered Canadian I suppose. Dick Latvala's gonzo fueled shoes were hard to follow, his exuberance made him a better salesman, which is part of the job.
Anyway, Dave's a big Wilco fan, so wondering if he lurks on this board. He's got some nice hats for sale in the gd store.

Music Term: Slate
The voice recorded onto the beginning of a master tape to identify the tune and take, or the action of making it. Also refers to the circuit or control which allows you to slate masters.Hope that helps. Not sure why they bothered indicating that on the tracks. Who cares.

Always interesting to see what the Dylanologists come up with about the new material. Apparently the 3 new songs have some pretty direct references to the Egyptian Book of the Dead. I have a hard time imagining Dylan has been spending much time reading that lately, but I suppose it's possible. I think Dylan just has the ability to tap into the unconscious and has cracked some sort of linguistic code. Whatever the case, adds a fun layer to the new songs.

Possible dick move would be to request a refund from the point of purchase (ticketmaster, etc.) if you are eligible. Probably would burn bridges with stubhub but f them. My understanding is they are also not giving refunds to buyers who have had events cancelled or rescheduled, instead offering them a credit.

It's not doing it for me. And I definitelky think they've done better since the 70s: Emotional Resuce (the song), She's So Cold, Start Me Up, Love is Strong, You Got Me Rocking, The Worst, Out of Control, Saint of Me, I could name a few more even deeper cuts.
Emotional Rescue is definitely better. Disagree on the others. Saint of Me? C'mon.
-
Maybe the best stones song since the 70's, which isn't saying much I guess. Don't care for the auto tune bullshit on Mick's vocals. Enjoy the all to brief harmonica.

A singular voice who tapped into his truth and communicated it perfectly. Never been anyone that sounded like him, before or since. Hard to do justice to his greatness in words, just an approximation. The music speaks for itself. RIP Bill.

Although the new 76 box set doesn't blow me away, it is better than expected. Really good sound quality brings the music to life much more than previous listens to 76. But still don't think I would pay for it.

I don't even know what to think or say about this. It almost feels like a requiem for the soul of America or something.
Nobody can do to me what Bob does. Thanks, Bob.
Yes, that's a good way to put it. He seems to think the assassination of JFK was a turning point that has lead to this moment. Although he has said that slavery is something that America has not been able to recover from as well.
-
Really good. This song will drive the Dylanologists nuts. There are so many references to JFK conspiracy related stuff hidden throughout.

Neil Young's first fireside chat performance from last night is up for free on https://neilyoungarchives.com/
Kinda slow loading if you've never been there before, high quality and what not.

I watched the webcast and thought it sounded great. Would love to see this lineup tour more, or any incarnation with Derek, Warren, and Oteil. Chuck was nice, not sure about his vocals on Blue Sky. Would be nice to have another singer in the band, but Warren was a natural on all the songs.

And here's Kenny Loggins version of FOTD that inspired the resurrected slowed down versions:
Starts at 6:22:

New box set is June 76. Not my favorite year but I'm sure there will be some gems. A rare GD Mission in the Rain. Don't plan on buying but will give it a listen.

Yeah, I get not wanting to put filler in the middle of the show, but its weird. I guess only olds listen to cd's anymore anyhow.
-
Seems weird there is only about 25 minutes of music on disc 2. I'm not sure I've seen that before.

Yeah, I am guessing Betts wouldn't want to stand side by side with Trucks and Haynes and play - but it would be great to see him on the stage, at least.
Would love for him to at least come out a play a rendition of Jessica with Chuck.
Since his dismissal from the Allmans, Betts has been a guest of Tedeschi Trucks Band during at least one of their Beacon runs, and sat in with the Phil & Friends lineup featuring Haynes a few times. He has no beef with either of those guys, and buried the axe with Gregg at the end. He has played with Jaimoe in recent years too. The beef was mainly with Butch, and I'd imagine there is just too much drama for him surrounding the whole Allmans thing.

Feature and interview with Sarah Fulcher on Aquarium Drunkard. Sounds like a pretty interesting person, but the results on this release are mixed. Maybe not the whaling and screaming of Donna, but she get pretty repetitive, like she only had one gear. Overall she clutters things up, Jerry Band was at it's best when Jerry had room to breathe.

Today I learned that Frusciante was going to audition for Zappa's '88 tour band, but opted out because of Zappa's strict no drugs policy.
That guy must really like drugs.

If Duluth gets a show before San Diego, Jeff Tweedy can bite my ass.

Wilco should go on the embittered city tour sometime. Philly, San Diego, Florida...
Easy to understand an aversion to Philly or Florida. San Diego makes no sense.

It's ok. I see that kind of thing a lot. Easy way to dismiss anyone we view as odd. And everyone is ignorant to certain things, myself included. So no offense intended on my part either.
