So incredibly jealous of St. Louis. Wish they'd do an in-store at the Euclid in NOLA.

Started "Stranger Things" today. Two episodes in and I'm hooked.

"Gleason." I can't recommend this film enough. It's a powerful depiction (the good, the bad & the ugly) of the decline of a former professional athlete at the hands of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and how it affects him and those closest to him.

Thanks for sharing this. I love it!

"Gone Girl." Wow - what an excellent movie!

Bill Clinton can still bring it. He's infinitely more relatable than Hillary.

I enjoyed Bernie's speech last night. Granted, I'm somewhat biased, as I voted for him in the primary and wish he'd received the nomination. For me if Bernie and Hillary gave that same speech from last night, I'd take Bernie's every time. Because when Bernie says it I believe him.

I didn't watch a moment of it. Seeing what's become of the Republican Party makes me wonder how I ever identified with it years ago. It's an absolute clown show. I honestly don't understand how or why anyone would vote for Donald Trump.

For me Wilco now receives the same treatment which I accorded to R.E.M.: I'll pre-order every record they release till they call it a day without having to hear a single note in advance. They've earned it in my book. However, I miss Jay Bennett terribly and keep hoping for another release more similar in sound to "Being There." It may be due to a matter of personal taste, but save for a song or two on each album I don't return much to anything after AGIB. As for the names they choose for their albums, I honestly don't care.

Eh. I was hoping for more of the "country" vibe Jeff referenced and/or the sound of "If I Ever Was a Child."

I'm not a vinyl person, but for those who are Bull Moose is offering an opaque pink version. http://www.bullmoose.com/p/23275074/wilco-schmilco-pink-vinyl-indie-exclusive-includes-download-card

Ordered! One of these albums I'm gonna win one of the prizes for pre-orders. It has to happen!

Awesome. You may have just sold me.

How was the show? They're playing in NOLA pretty soon, and I've been thinking about going.

The Iran hostage crisis.

Streaming on Netflix:

Finally some good news for my Braves, who signed the top-rated international free agent, Kevin Maitan.

Margo Price and the Walker Family Singers.

I'm OK with this news.

Really getting into ESPN's "30 for 30" documentary series. As binge-watching goes one could do a whole lot worse.

A day late but last night I saw Jim Avett perform at a private house concert. Very nice evening.
