How was the show? Tix for his NOLA shows in November go on sale this Wednesday, and I'm strongly considering buying one.

Getting ready for the Pilgrimage Festival next month.

The best thing for the GOP would be for Trump to be hit by a falling piano or a meteor. He oozes toxicity.

As a Braves fan I'm elated that the organization was able to extricate itself from CJ's contract. He had one good season after being traded to Atlanta, and Frank Wren threw way too much money in his direction (one of many reasons why Frank Wren is no longer with the club). I don't think we'll get much out of Swisher and Bourn, but the ends justify the means. We're not going anywhere for a couple of years anyway.

Being There A.M. (I've been a fan since the first time I heard "Box Full of Letters" on MTV in '95, and I admit to a preference for their post-Uncle Tupelo "alt-country" sound) Summerteeth Yankee Hotel Foxtrot A Ghost Is Born Star Wars The Whole Love Sky Blue Sky Wilco The Album

I'm hearing some noise down south that the Braves may make a push for Price during the offseason. I'll believe it when the ink is dry, but in the meantime I'll salivate over the possibility. On an unrelated note, I took in games in Oakland and San Francisco while in Northern California about a week ago. The Coliseum in Oakland is, well, sad. A team as consistently scrappy as the A's deserves a better venue. As for AT&T Park, that place is as close to ballpark perfection as I've ever seen.

Amen to that! I'm loving this song!

Can't go wrong with a Mississippi writer. "On The Road" by Jack Kerouac. I've never read it, so it seemed apropos to pick up a copy while visiting City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco recently.

Not sure what happened, but the best I could get were second balcony seats for the NOLA show. Kinda bummed.

I spent a couple of days away from "Star Wars" and find it just as good (maybe even better) than I did upon first reaction. And my first reaction was that I liked it a lot.

I'm officially in for both days despite their announcement of a NOLA show on Monday September 28. I'll fly home on Monday afternoon to (hopefully) catch their show at the Orpheum.

I think I may also be in the same boat.

For those of us who already have a Crowdsurge account, do we have to register for something new? Anybody know?

Dang. I'll be in the air when the pre-sale starts for the NOLA show.

From last night: Old Crow Medicine Show & the Avett Brothers

Just pre-ordered the CD. I want one of those drawing prizes! Fingers crossed...

Just one listen in for me, and that will probably be it because I'm fading quickly. My immediate impression is that this is a very solid album. Not a single-heavy record, but that's totally OK. It works better in its entirety. I really like it, I will probably like it more with additional listens, and I'm glad they chose to go in a different direction with their sound. And a huge "thank you" to the band for releasing this free and by surprise. What an unexpected treat!

Must be. I also submitted my Yahoo address.

How long does it take to receive the e-mail with the download link? It's been well over 30 minutes since I submitted my e-mail address.

Just saw Water Liars at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in NOLA. Left with two of their CDs and will definitely catch them the next time they're down this way.

There's a bundle which includes notecards. Not sure why, but I'm unable to post links via my work computer. Otherwise I'd provide a link to the book on the band's site.

Anyone else thinking about ordering this book?
