WOW... I figured it was just an amount of time before they split but I didn't think it would be this soon. That sucks. I was hoping to get a few more albums out of the deal. Tough for 3 songwriters to share a band though. You never see that last too long.

I actually have that chilling in the refrigerator now. I've never actually had it but that won't be the case 2-3 hours from now.

I can't believe that this is being talked about quite honestly. I haven't read the book and don't plan on it. For whatever reason, I've always felt that a bands personal life is better left personal. I know that Kot was careful to avoid a lot of the kiss and tell stuff. At any rate, nice little interview with Jay in this Chicago Tribune metromix piece: linky

Yes, very pumped about this one. I like the studio version of "Dress Blues". To be honest, the songs that were on his 'unofficial' myspace page a few weeks back were even better than these. Looking forward to seeing Jason next week.

I HEARD THAT JEFF CALLED JAY A PUSSY!!1

I picked this up over the weekend and I think it's one of my favorite albums of his. I'm looking forward to checking him out. He kind of reminds me of Joe Strummer mixed with a bit of Joe Jackson.

Keith Richards is a parody of himself. However, I feel strongly that everyone should snort their father/mother's ashes along with some blow upon either parents demise. Really centers you.

Just got back from Cheesecake Factory. A couple of beers and a crispy pork tendorloin with macaroni and cheese. Good stuff. Saving the actual cheesecake for tomorrow.

Buddy Guy is a legend. Sonny Landreth is great to see live. Los Lobos is a really fun band to see live as well. This line-up is definitely worth seeing. I know nothing of the venue but I'm sure it'll be a great time. Very possible that all of the players from Blind Faith will play together as well.

The new Son Volt is really good. I've liked what I have heard of the new Wilco album thus far. Other than that, The Holmes Brothers and the Dexateens are the only albums I have bought this year. Not a dud in the bunch.

Not anymore my friend... they stopped late last year. If it's still on the shelf, it's old.

I'm not sure what that means.

That's an old picture ction!! Thanks folks! An almost perfect workday: Work, followed by dinner with the family in one of the finest english pubs in town (Salmon and Old Speckled Hen), followed by Connect 4. I WISH I COULD BE 36 FOREVER!!! And, per my normal method of operation, I will move my "official" celebration to the Friday subsequent to the birthdate anniversary. Hopslam can, and will, be involved.

I bought Hardwire Healing when it came out and I think it's very solid. I was trying to keep an eye on them to see when they are swinging through Chicago again.

I will win brackets if anybody but Ohio State wins. Ironically, Ohio State is my favorite team.

I thought Wilco wrote and released this song post-2000 but she clearly did this "cover" version in 1983. How'd that happen?

Here's the show!

I've read about this guy a few times but I haven't really heard him much. Just heard his cover of "Bastards of Young" and I'm not sure what to think. I like the vibe of it and I love the fact that he's covering it.... does his voice always sound like that? How is he overall?

This is one of about 3 bands that I haven't seen that I absolutely need to.... and yet don't. I'm going the next time that they are within a 3-4 state radius and it's a Saturday or something.

I'm still in the 90th percentile!! This is, quite honestly, the best that I have ever done in brackets.... and I've won before. I'm feeling pretty good about things right now. I love March.

I didn't love that moment but I'm guessing it was due to poor sound quality. When they started playing, it really didn't sound good.... sort of muted. At any rate, it was a great tribute and a great performance by one of the best bands in history.

I sure wish that we could get Harpoon in Chicago.... at any rate, basketball and Dogfish Head aren't a horrible way to spend an evening. 60 Minute
