I finally went to see Sinners. I was always the kid in school who, when asked for my interpretation of a story or a poem, was way off. The same goes for this movie, which has a lot more going on than I initially picked up on. It's a very good film with a lot of substance and unexpected turns. The cameos by real-life bluesmen (at least one of which will only be caught by big blues fans - I may have missed some myself) were a nice bonus. I need to see it again because I missed the post-credits scene. This will easily be among my favorite movies at the end of the year.

It's a solid album. The songwriting as usual is very strong. I'm probably the wrong person to ask to be honest. I've recently been hooked on Centromatic, and although I haven't listened to many of Johnson's solo efforts I'm kinda partial to Centromatic's sound. I just prefer the more up tempo stuff.

I also attended Saturday's show. Waxahatchee was an incredible opener. I may have enjoyed Katie Crutchfield and company as much as if not more than Wilco. And that's not intended as a shot at Wilco by any means. I"d been hoping Wilco would play the Saenger, as it's the most beautiful concert venue in NOLA in my opinion. I missed hearing some of my favorites from older albums in their catalog, but I enjoyed hearing other songs I haven't experienced as much live. There were some drunk talkers behind me, but after they received several angry looks from others they piped down. For those who are un

Wilco with Waxahatchee

Actually it was during the middle of the day.

I was doing a semester abroad in London 30 years ago, and I'd been unaware of Uncle Tupelo. I returned home in May of '95, and about a week later I started summer school. While moving into my dorm room I set up my TV first for background noise. I tuned into MTV and heard "Box Full of Letters." I've been a fan ever since. Happy 30th, A.M.!
