maybe i was drunk but i thought Sue gave me a quick shout out last night.

the tweedy show is awesome. i hope every wilco fan tunes in at least occasionally. i don't know what more you could ask of one of your favorite bands.

Napalm Death - Scum as names for helping to describe their sound go, that's way up there.

Mogwai - Come On Die Young live twitter thread via #timstwitterlisteningparties (Tim Burgess of the Charlatans, not me)

Great Woods is a dump now, and putting in seats on the formerly GA grass space was stupid.

I think I saw REM four times in total... one time was on Black Monday. that was kinda surreal.

let's hear the first time ye saw REM... for me it was on the Pre-construction tour, Spring weekend at Brown in '85. it was an outdoor show and some enterprising soul went out the night before, dug a giant hole in the ground and planted a keg in it. needless to say, it was the last outdoor spring concert weekend at Brown until my senior year, and that was held in a more regulated courtyard space (and not nearly as good... Little Feat and Tom Tom Club). this set list is amazing but i really only remember the Paint it Black cover. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/rem/1985/pembroke-field-brown-u

i thought Garlin talked too much, personally. but still fun to see.

totally got that same vibe! i haven't seen them in ages... i know they played Boston last year but i missed that show. I always dug the drummer's thing.

i recall thinking that her band members were all rather tall. i also had a camera die on me before that show started which was a drag... but that's why i bring two. i will start bawling if he does any of the Purple Mountains material.

not sure you saw my comment to yours, but it was to effect that you're obv talking about a Jay song

i have an entire playlist of them: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7oB6KofvJyaY5VMekChtmW?si=uF76eQFKSa-lS3F1xKzC5g

the pre-shave period of Tweedy.

"Plateau" was excellent. well, all the songs were.

got it!

last night was awesome. watched it in bed on my phone. perfect.

sacred cows, etc.

that was my favorite part. also, Jeff dropping all the F bombs after someone said their young child likes the F bomb. Sue was aghast and Jeff said something to effect that that kid had to be the happiest kid alive right now.

that's a great one.

everyone knows that the Gene record is the best of the bunch.

which one did he do?

yeah that was fun. it took way longer for me to figure out how to stream it to my tv, only to have a tiny part of teh screen actually filled but the songs and banter were spot on. i love Emma's harmonies on his songs too, esp Glass Hotel.

robyn hitchcock stream tonight via Stage It.. $5 to help out the Nashville tornado victims.

i am really bummed that it's likely that Current 93 will be canceled. they haen't played the US since the early 90s.
