Got my e-ticket via email today. See y'all soon!

I like "Falling Apart" quite a lot, and my biggest fear is that the rest of the album will be more "Wilco by the numbers" like their recent albums that I'll soon forget and never return to after listening a couple of times. I'm intentionally avoiding the other new songs so I'll have something extra to look forward to at Solid Sound, and I hope my fears won't come true.

Can't wait for the NOLA shows. I may try to visit my Memphis peeps for Mempho Fest the weekend before, too.

Having been laid up most of this year with COVID and two post-COVID illnesses that I'm told were probably related to COVID, I'm so ready. See y'all soon!

I'm digging this song and this sound. I won't speculate on what the whole album will sound like, but if it is a "country" album I'll be pretty happy. If it's not then I look forward to hearing the ground they cover.

Reviving this topic because of the 30th anniversary of their excellent album Check Your Head. Here's a nice discussion. Although it's referred to as a flop commercially, I love Paul's Boutique, too. Maybe even more so. https://www.npr.org/2022/04/25/1094725602/why-beastie-boys-check-your-head-album-still-matters

Well I'm intrigued.

After World War II this wasn't supposed to happen again. Though I consider myself to be a left-leaning centrist, I'm the son of a military man. As such I'm pretty hawkish when it comes to just causes like this (as opposed to Iraq). Following this war is infuriating. Any student of history knows that Putin won't stop with Ukraine. He needs to be dealt with now, and I'm extremely disappointed in the West's response.

I liked it and even cried during the film, but I don't think it's better than Licorice Pizza.

Loved it!

The legendary Bobby Rush, Lightnin' Malcolm & R.L. Boyce, and Sharde Thomas (granddaughter of Otha Turner) and the Rising Star Fife & Drum Band at the grand opening of the Ground Zero Blues Club (co-owned by Morgan Freeman) in Biloxi, Mississippi. I almost skipped the show because I've had a very busy day, but I'm so glad I went. At 87 Bobby Rush still brings it. I'm gonna take advantage of every opportunity I have to see him perform.

I enjoyed it quite a lot. Honestly I'm not very familiar with the specifics of Northern Ireland history during the time period in question. I understand the general history, but I've never read about or studied it. I'm not sure I get the choice of black and white for the picture, but I suppose I'll defer to the filmmakers. Another small thing: I could've benefitted from subtitles. I think I caught most of the dialogue in the movie. but I'm pretty sure I missed some also. The message of the film to me is timeless, and I feel that it successfully and entertainingly conveys that mesage. I'm

Absolutely loved this ESPN 30 for 30 documentary about the Buffalo Bills teams of the 90s. It involves so much more than sports, and after watching it I've kinda fallen in love with Buffalo. .

From the folks who brought us a similar episode on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot with baseball great Dale Murphy. Our forum is even mentioned! Episode 224: Wilco’s “A Ghost Is Born” with Tom Hershey and Jeff Frame

I honestly don't know most of the acts, but that's far from a bad thing. The big one I was hoping for is Japanese Breakfast. So excited to finally see her. And I'm planning to arrive a few days early or stay a few days after the festival to explore the area. And perhaps I'm most excited to see familiar faces again!

I loved it, and I'm not a huge Beatles fan.

Watched Get Back last night and today and loved it. That footage is priceless.

Another new song from their forthcoming album. I absolutely love this one. Very much looking forward to hearing the entire record. Wild

I've been stuck inside with COVID, so last weekend I binge-watched The Mandalorian. It's entertaining enough although the writing is kinda bad at times. Alll in all I can't complain because it gave me something entertaining to watch while convalescing.

I'm not trying to scare anyone because I'm particularly susceptible to respiratory illnesses. And when I get them they're usually more severe, as I have a lifetime of respiratory ailments since birth. With that said I'm pretty sure I have COVID, and I should know for certain tomorrow. Assuming I have Omicron, this stuff has been pretty awful over the past four days. Monday wasn't so bad because my only symptom was muscle aches. Tuesday through Today, however, have been rough. I'd been really good and avoided large crowds of people for nearly two years until last Saturday. I wanted to see my la

Ordered! I've been looking forward to seeing the film. Since I'll be stuck inside with the 'rona, I'm especially excited about having something to look forward to.

I was in great shape going into the second half of 2021. Then I kinda lost all discipline. This year I want to get back into shape. It's a process and not a particularly enjoyable one. But I'll feel so much better. I also want to read more books this year.
