i haven't catalogued all my purchases from this year but it's clear that i bought a lot of older and / or reissued records once again. for records that were first released in 2021, i would say that these are my favorites: Papir - Jams Kungens Män - Innanför Boxen (box set of mostly archival stuff but does include 1 new LP) Sunburned Hand Of The Man - Pick A Day To Die Trialogos - Stroh Zu Gold Hans Hjelm - Factory Reset Mogwai - As The Love Continues Mienakunaru - Lost Bones Of The Holy Butterfly The Reds, Pinks & Purples* - Uncommon Weather i gues

just home from seeing Steve Gunn and Jeff Parker. Got Genesis tmrw (at least a photo pass... might try to score a ticket)

I guess they could do both.

there were some good seats that dropped for TTB for tonight, not sure if they are still around on Ticketmaster. Dino/Lemonheads was solid. here are my reviews of both shows: https://digboston.com/author/tim-bugbee/

just back from Tedeschi Trucks Band

Dinosaur Jr/Lemonheads/Ryley Walker

i never did see the lineup w/ Teresa (second drummer) and Kathleen (nude dancer) and when that time machine gets operational, i'll set the right coordinates.

this should be entertaining: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theholetruth/the-butthole-surfers-movie

i was really surprised to learn that Sally was married to Fred Armisen.

i accidentally posted this to my photog account on facebook and figured i would cut and paste for this thread. this soup is amazingly good. i roasted the thighs in the oven (@425 for about 45-50 min, turning every 10 min. there are two keys: make a 50/50 mix of fine salt and 5 spice powder, and rub on the chicken under the skin... to make the glaze, do this: add some smashed ginger (1", cut in slices) and garlic (4 cloves) to 1/3 cup of honey, 2 tbsp of soy and some 5 spice. bring that to a boil, let cool, and strain the solids. this is what you brush on the chicken every

i watched Revenge Of The Mekons last night and it was great. what an interesting band. still bummed that i've only seen them once.

my bet is that they play Boston Calling. there are no Boston dates announced.

i gotta say that the $40 for a yearly subscription to the NYT Cooking app/site is well worth it. i did a chorizo/lentil dish a few weeks ago that was really good, and changed it up a bit last night and also cooked chicken thighs. the garlic noodle recipe is great, and i really liked the shrimp and mango tacos too. this is a great cookbook too... the honey/hoisin chicken thighs are truly great, and be sure to cook extra because that soup... oh my god that soup. https://www.amazon.com/Vietnamese-Food-Any-Day-Recipes/dp/0399580352

Beach Fossils and Wild Nothing

just back from seeing High On Fire and Doomriders. the metal gods smiled upon Boston tonight (well, Cambridge).

it would have really been funny had Pitchfork re-reviewed some random album and changed the score from say 5.3 to 5.2.

$8 shipping for a 7" definitely steps over into 'this is way too much for postage' territory but my friend wanted a copy too so we split it to $4 each.

Woodsist Records put on a sweet little fest. totally enjoyable (aside from trying to find my camera bag after it got dark).

Gimme Shelter (that intro still gives me shivers and i've heard it a million times) Let It Loose (arguably the best song they ever wrote) i will think of another soon... "Salt Of The Earth" comes close to making it.

Thanks! yeah doing two sets w/ a short break is pretty ideal for a band like Yo La Tengo. enjoy the show!

a couple of recent show reviews... Black Crowes: https://digboston.com/fotobom-the-black-crowes-and-dirty-honey-at-xfinity-center/ Yo La Tengo: https://digboston.com/fotobom-yo-la-tengo-the-columbus-theatre/

Yo La Tengo continue their reign near the top of the heap. excellent show last night, good mask adherence and proof of vaccine required for entry. i felt entirely comfortable.

nothing says metal like a balding old guy w/ an acoustic guitar.

right on!!

yeah i meant it more as a 'here's a band that jams the F out' rather than sounding a lot like the Dead, who have more blues/bluegrass and american folk tones in their songs (at least as far as i can tell, i am assuredly no expert on them). If you like that sort of thing, Earthless is another band worth your time and they are from California so they definitely tour the US. I don't think any of those bands on the label has been over. I did get to see Mythic Sunship at Roadburn in 2019 and they are signed to Tee Pee over here now so maybe! I would love to see Colour Haze too. they had been b
