My son took my car keys (and the keys to my desk and, therefore, my headphones and hard drive—which contains my music). So, today I'm checking out the playlist that Spotify made with recommendations for me. They've done well in the past with these. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZEVXcTWPnszy8RgO

Milton Nascimento & Lo Borges - Clube da Esquina

Hollow Hand - Star Chamber

Didn't see many. Just a couple. But the best was Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever at Lincoln Hall (Chicago). Those boys ROCK, I tells ya!

The Citradels - God Bless

I had a beer with Jim and Nash Kato at Danny's back in 93 or so. I thought Jim was very sweet. But only met him the once (we had mutual friends).

I was at The Replacements' final show -- in 1991, when the broke up on stage at Grant Park. I have no memories, however, of the two outstanding opening acts: NRBQ and Material Issue. I like both of those bands. A lot. And I did then, too. And I know that I was there for their sets. But I just don't remember anything about them. Damnit.

Salad Boys - This is Glue

I think Stevie was probably picked, as a solo artist, more for being a fashion/cultural icon than for anything to do with her actual solo music output. Because, yeah: outside of the Mac, she didn't really have such an amazing career.

So are Def Leppard and Janet Jackson, whether you like them or not. Also, I am super happy to see The Zombies and Roxy Music make it. Overall, this is a good class.

Big Thief - Masterpiece Negro Léo - Action Lekking

So, this show is a week from Friday: 12/21 at the Montrose Saloon You Chicago people? Anyone wanna come out? I go on first, at 9.

Only just picked up the new one from The Sea and Cake. But I always like them.

Not that I can remember.
