Mark Lanegan - Bubblegum

It's just a horrible loss. I need to hear that Purple Mountains album. 

the lyrics are a punch in the gut, given how things unfolded. 

yeah Biden sucks, and that's been apparent for a while now.

Howlin Rain/Major Stars/Garcia Peoples were awesome last night... HR in particular was super tight and really rocking. go see them!

this is the hardest musician death for me since Jack Rose. just utterly devastating. 

 I have already heard talk (non Russian trolls btw) that Millennials (aka Bernie Bros) will sit out if Joe gets the nod.  So yeah, the Bernie Bros would rather burn it all down if they don't get their way.  

link? or is this just water cooler talk w/ some dude you work with?

 

And I have only JUST heard that Chameleons record for the first time. Sorry that it took me so long, but glad that I finally got around to it.

if you haven't already, the first two are just as good, if not better in their own ways.

did the bernie supporters tell her to ignore campaigning in wisconsin? because that sorted turned out to be a big deal.

His supporters certainly did him no favors, and their tactics did grave damage to Clinton, and as a result, the entire country.

i think Clinton did more than enough damage to herself, tbh.

Rosalie Cunningham - Rosalie Cunningham

 

how is that Rosalie record? I liked the idea of Purson better than the actual execution.

that Chameleons record is so fucking good. i know that "Swamp Thing," "Caution," and "Tears" are highly rated with good reason, but there are a lot of hidden gems here.

Well, in that case, you’d probably need the Neko Case/Kelly Hogan duo, no?

someone should tell Neko that! i've been surprised to see Kelly missing from teh last two tours.

Guy Garvey. Nothing to do with the music, I just think they'd really get on both with great senses of humour.

let's get a full-time all-star banter group going... i'll nominate Neko Case, King Buzzo and Ryley Walker as well. 

yeah he did sit in on one song at the Pickens w/ Mavis but i didn't go and my friends who did weren't sure of the song. 

two more that i posted on the facebook page:

he did make mention of some airplane dragging a banner and circling overhead... "Can't you see I'm just a guy with an acoustic guitar?"

he also made a joke when us photographers left the pit after the 3rd song, "Now that all the photographers have left, I don't have to suck in my gut any more and the singing should be better."

i know he played "New Madrid" and "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" but i didn't write any notes while i was scurrying from stage to stage. setlist.fm says he played "Impossible Germany" but i don't recall that one being played.

More later, but figured I'd start a thread. really fun show, once again.

and one in color

over dinner tonight, Otis and I decided that The Malk would be the perfect choice.

how about your choices?

Newport Folk this weekend, folks.

this record is pretty great.

coming in 2026, the #USTOO Tour, featuring Louis CK, Ryan Adams and the guy from Ducktails. Special introduction by Roman Polanski (so this is obv a Euro-only tour). 

Ryan is trying to stage his comeback. Something I noticed his Instagram went from 600k followed down to 35k followers. I’m

Curious to see how this plays out.

his tweet was horrible. just go away, man. 

Those $500+ packages are just absurd. I understand that they have hardcore fans who will want exclusive stuff, but $500?!?! Come on.

 

Also, any word on Warmer on digital? Thought it was coming out 7/12?

the crazy thing is that they made 1000?

that's grossing a half million... but there is no way in hell they're gonna shift that many. 

Out curiosity what was the straw that broke the camel's back?

i gave them the benefit of the doubt in 2016 with their vote for Trump. I guess some people will always vote for what they perceive is their best self-interest, and these guys are both bankers so it's clear they wouldn't vote for someone like Warren or Sanders.

but given Trump's behavior since elected, i wanted to see if they changed their minds. they hadn't and still support him. i find that absolutely reprehensible, esp as one of them is a self-avowed christian. 

last night i basically cut off ties to two neighborhood friends i've had for years over their continued support of Trump.
