My CD copy arrived yesterday. Wish I'd known they'd be offering signed versions for sale before I pre-ordered, but oh, well. Very much looking forward to spending time with this record during the fall. New Wilco, college football & cooler temps (hopefully). I love this time of year.

Started "The Get Down" last night. It took a while before I got into the first episode, but I think it's gonna be a fun ride.

I really enjoyed this movie, too. Hawke was sensational.

Infinitely Polar Bear. It was OK.

As I ordered the CD, which I guess wasn't a shipping priority, I still haven't heard it. I pre-ordered on day one, and my copy hasn't shipped yet. Kinda bummed.

Just discovered Big Thief in Wilco's Spotify playlist. Kicking myself for missing their show in NOLA in June. "Masterpiece" is a very strong album, and the single is one of the best songs I've heard all year.

This makes me happy with anticipation. Tempered anticipation but anticipation nevertheless.

My sentiments exactly. Thanks for beating me to the punch on this.

I may go to Peaches Records in NOLA next week to listen and hopefully win a raffle item. If not my CD is on the way and I snagged a signed copy of the book of posters. And there's new Wilco music on the way. I'm happy.

Saw "Hell or High Water" yesterday. Excellent movie. I haven't seen a lot of movies this year, but from the ones I remember off the top of my head it's my favorite so far. Also watched "Elvis and Nixon" on DVD the other night. Pretty entertaining movie with some funny moments.

New St. Paul & the Broken Bones too.
