Watched "Miss Sharon Jones" & "Mavis!" Both are excellent music documentaries on two of my favorite musicians. I'm still heartbroken over Sharon Jones's passing. Also went to the theater today to watch "Hacksaw Ridge," which I very much enjoyed. That an unarmed man actually saved 75 of his fellow soldiers on an active battlefield without ever firing a single shot is nothing short of miraculous. Definitely a powerful statement on the courage of conviction. I can't believe I'd never heard of Desmond Doss prior to seeing this movie.

The hits just keep on coming. http://pitchfork.com/news/67585-sharon-jones-dead-at-60/

Saw "Arrival" earlier this week and "Bleed for This" today. "Arrival" is really good though I'm still trying to figure it out and want to watch it again to hopefully catch what I missed the first time. It's not your garden variety alien movie. Very cerebral and well-done. Amy Adams is terrific. "Bleed for This" isn't the most exciting or captivating boxing film, but Miles Teller's portrayal of Vinny Pazienza is really strong and Aaron Eckhart's transformation into Kevin Rooney is phenomenal. If you know the two real-life men who are being portrayed by Teller and Eckhart, you'll really app

Yeah, I also don't have a Blu-Ray player. I wish the live CD was offered as part of a tw-disc set, including only the remastered version of "Out of Time," and that the disc of demos came with the more costly four-disc set that includes the Blu-Ray disc.

Anyone planning on picking up this? I don't care about the demos, but I'd like the live CD. http://www.remhq.com/news/video-unboxing-of-25th-anniversary-deluxe-edition-of-out-of-time/

Makes me wish I lived in Chicago. As I just lost my most secure contract work, my finances won't allow for it. Dang.

This is more of a list of my favorites rather than a "top ten." Also not sure if I can name ten, and this is in no particular order: Alejandro Escovedo - "Burn Something Beautiful" Mavis Staples - "Livin' on a High Note" Big Thief - "Masterpiece" Margo Price - "Midwest Farmer's Daughter" Loretta Lynn - "Full Circle" Drive-By Truckers - "American Band" Jimmy "Duck" Holmes - "It Is What It Is" (fans of Delta blues, particularly the "Bentonia School" of blues that includes Skip James, should check this one out) Charles Bradley - "Changes" Sturgill Simpson - "A Sailor's Guide to Earth" St. Paul

Sturgill Simpson - saw him at the Thirsty Hippo, a very small bar in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in November of 2014. The Strokes - saw them at Hal & Mal's in Jackson, Mississippi in 2001 or early 2002. Shovels & Rope - saw them at Soul Kitchen in Mobile, Alabama in January of 2015. Counting Crows - saw them at Tipitina's in New Orleans in the spring of 1994.

Spot on. Nero fiddles while Rome burns.

Congrats from this Braves fan to long-suffering Cubs fans, and to baseball, for an epic win in an epic game in an instant-classic World Series.

Having just finished "I'll Take You There" today, I'm inclined to agree with your assessment. I didn't hate it, but it just didn't make me feel many of the feels.

Just finishing my first listen. Like you said, another solid effort. I really like it and think I'll like it more with additional listens.

Y'all did not steer me wrong. His live show was great! And I had a chance to chat with him for a minute or two after the show. Very cool guy and a big baseball fan. I'm sold. Alejandro's new record dropped yesterday. Has anyone listened to it yet? Peter Buck and Scott McCaughey (two of my favorite musicians) co-produced and co-wrote it with him, and It's received some pretty good reviews.

My favorite Wilco album. I miss Jay Bennett.

I'll also recommend Jake Xerxes Fussell for anyone who likes those artists. I've heard of him for years because I went to school in the same town in which he once lived. Really digging his self-titled album:
