Looks like the board missed his two bluegrass releases. Today brought news of another new Sturgill album arriving later this year. And for those who missed the bluegrass records, check those out because they're excellent. https://pitchfork.com/news/sturgill-simpson-announces-new-album-the-ballad-of-dood-and-juanita/

Anyone who knows of the Connells knows how criminally underrated they were in the late 1980s and the 1990s. They're back! Well, kinda. The Connell brothers, Doug MacMillan, and keyboardist Steve Potak are still in the band (along with a couple of new members), but singer/songwriter/guitarist George Huntley and drummer Peele Wimberley. They're releasing a new album this fall, and the first single from it is OK. Perhaps more exciting is that they're touring! Their live shows were always so good. One time in college my girlfriend at the time asked me to have dinner with her family on the night th

I certainly hope this site's not dead because I prefer it over the social media groups. I was completely taken by surprise when I saw the announcement the other night. My little group of Solid Sounders lost the great house we had in 2019, but I understand that we procured lodging in Williamstown. I'm just excited that it's one month closer than I expected.

Last night I watched game six of the NBA finals. I haven't been a big NBA fan in years, but I thoroughly enjoyed this year's finals. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a joy to watch, and the Bucks play well as a team. Game five was particularly epic. I always enjoy watching a small market team that hasn't won in a long time hoist the championship trophy.

I'm so sorry to read about these challenges with which you've been dealing. That's a lot. Sending you healing vibes and well-wishes. You certainly deserve a break or ten.

A couple of Sundays ago I drove to Memphis to see a few old college friends. I took the chance of getting on the road early enough that morning to attend the service at the church in Memphis at which Al Green is the pastor. Apparently it is usually not known whether he'll appear on any given Sunday. Fortunately for me he was there and sang and preached on the day I attended. Out of respect for the church and its members, I didn't take any photos during the service. I did, however, covertly record the audio of a snippet of an incredible song delivered by a church member and the choir. If anyone

I recommend re-watching the first one before seeing the sequel because I'd forgotten much of the first one. As such the sequel made less sense at times.

If the lead singer's voice sounds familiar it's because he's Bono's son.

I saw it today. I enjoyed it for the most part except for the ending. And I agree that it's not as good as the first one though for some reason I don't remember much about that one.

How was it?

Hope those of you who are fathers enjoy a great day and that you'l know what a difference your love makes in the lives of your children. And for those whose dads are still in your lives, hug their necks and tell them how much you love them.

In their defense at least you'd get about 60 songs during the show.

John Horton of the Bottle Rockets has joined Son Volt! Good for him. I'm looking forward to hearing their new album and hopefully seeing them live soon.

Just watched Sound of Metal. Very enjoyable film.

Totally jealous of all of you who will be in Mexico. My finances are such that I'll have to choose between that or Solid Sound. Having experienced the latter event I'm kinda partial to it. See y'all at MASS MoCA.

Today was a good mail day.

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is one of the first songs I remember "knowing." Then in my 20s I watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for the first time, and it gave me a new association with the song. Randomly the song resurfaces in my conscience, and I'll find myself singing it in my head or aloud. Cancer sucks. Rest easy, B.J. And thank you for the music.

I love this so hard.

That. Is. Awesome.
