"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.

i would give that an 8% chance, given current conditions and general awareness...

I saw Destroyer last night and goddamn where they great. Dan's got a very good and interesting band behind him. I was kind of annoyed by the bass player (and his last-minute solo opening set didn't help things to start off with; too precious and kinda boring, but then again it was impromptu because tour mates Nap Eyes got detained coming back in from Canada) but he could certainly play bass well. The drummer was fantastic as well, really energetic but not over-playing. The guitar had a killer tone and blended really well with the trumpet player. There was a keyboard, and then another guy who t

what a great record! i found my copy in some Swedish store in 2004 or so. this should get a proper reissue.

i don't see it as a conspiracy, i see it as the moderate DNC getting their guy to be the front-runner, and the timing of Buttigieg and Klobuchar's suspension of their candidacy, 24-48 hr before Super Tuesday, helped Biden immeasurably. Had Warren done the same, it would have helped Sanders but not to same extent.

super delegates are just another way for the DNC to corral and hold power.... the Repubs don't use this, they use delegates chosen by the popular vote. That's the source of Bernie's frustration and I agree with him.

4th day in a row for bloomberg snail spam.

Aside from the one hit that Mazzy Star managed, most people don't know much about his work. The Rain Parade and esp Opal were as good if not better (Opal also featured Kendra Smith from The Dream Syndicate). Rainy Day is also a worthwhile record/one-off project.

i have gotten unsolicited mail from Bloomberg three days in a row now.

you could ask the same thing about gun control. it's more about starting to change the direction than pull a 180 just as you take the steering wheel.

yep. i can't imagine the self-hubris to be pissed off enough not to vote regardless of who is on the Dem ticket.

i would be fine w/ a Warren/Sanders ticket too. also, here's my solution to cleaning up the debate format: All candidates would receive a mild electric shock whenever they interrupt whomever is speaking. Once they get 5 shocks, the voltage steps up.

WRP are you going to the local show here on the 22nd?

i think the last season i saw was right before the one that focused entirely on the prison riot. seemed like it had lost a lot and wasn't a big draw anymore (but when it was good, it was really good... some of those characters were so excellent).
