It was my first, but it won't be my last. I don't know what I was expecting, but I think I had sensory load (in a good way). I spent most of the time awestruck, especially after meeting Courtney Barnett and Pat Sansone and being on the rail for the Minus 5. The house, the people in the house, the music, the food, and the scenery were all incredible. My only regrets are not having more time to explore Mass MoCA and the Berkshires and not getting to know my housemates better and see old friends from prior shared Wilco experiences. I'm ready for 2021!

I'll be there! I have a feeling the next few days of work before I leave are going to be unproductive. I cannot wait to get on that plane. And this is my 1,000th post!

That album has aged so well. I actually like it more now, and it's definitely among my top three R.E.M. albums.

Caroline Rose

Been a tough week for New Orleans with the loss of chef Leah Chase and Dr. John. Those two are irreplaceable. I met Leah Chase once. Her smile said everything a person needed to know about her. She was such a sweetheart. I'm not a huge fan of Dr. John's music, but I respect it and appreciate that I'm very much in the minority with that opinion.

I just want a copy of Warmer, as I have Warm. Surely they'll offer just Warmer at some point, right? And I don't buy vinyl - just CDs.

Getting ready for Solid Sound.

Cedric Burnside. Second time in just over two weeks.

Tyler Childers

A day late, but I saw Cedric Burnside and Mavis Staples at the Baton Rouge Blues Festival yesterday. For free!

For anyone who's been listening to it, there's a new episode of R U Talkin' R.E.M. RE: ME? (the podcast hosted by Adam Scott and Scott Aukerman). Mike Mills is the guest and said he plans to release a solo album at some point. https://www.earwolf.com/show/u-talkin-u2-to-me/
