Forgot to post it but from last Saturday...Hiss Golden Messenger and the Wood Brothers.

I'd just returned home from a college semester in London and was moving back into my dorm room for summer school. I'd just hooked up the cable on my TV, tuned into MTV and saw the "Box Full of Letters" video. Been a fan ever since.

Does anyone know where I can find a show poster from Jeff Tweedy's shows at the Vic Theatre from last February 14-15? I went to the Feb. 15 show and bought a signed poster. I was visiting a friend in Chicago, so I mailed it to myself. Unfortunately it was damaged in the mail, so I'm hoping to find another one. Probably a long shot but if anyone has a lead on one please message me. Thanks!

Strand of Oaks and Drive-By Truckers

Thanks to the original poster and to those who've given it a bump today. I'm really digging her new album and just bought a ticket to see her in NOLA in June. She definitely seems worthy of the hype.

I'll be there.

The new album is streaming at NPR Music: http://www.npr.org/2015/03/22/393575866/first-listen-sufjan-stevens-carrie-lowell

I still need to pick this up.

Gogol Bordello

"The Wire." Excellent binge-watching material.

"Frances Ha." I think I'm in love with Greta Gerwig's character.

I just started reading it, but I think the book revisits the Pete Rose issue in the post-PED baseball world. I could be wrong but that's my guess.

I've seen all of the best picture nominees except "The Imitation Game." I actually loved "Whiplash" most and would award it the best picture Oscar. I liked "Boyhood," but "Birman" to me was just weird. It had good acting, but the story didn't really do much for me. In order (for me): 1. "Whiplash" 2. "Boyhood" 3. "Selma" 4. "Birdman" 5. "American Sniper" 6. "The Theory of Everything" 7. "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
