thanks bbop! i will admit to using some of your notes from the karaoke night for my review...i couldn't exactly recall what jeff said a couple of times and i mistakenly deleted the notes i took on my phone. hope to meet you in person one of these days. thanks calvino! the live score was kinda meh... it took a while to get going due to some power issue, and when it was on all they did was some noodly improv stuff, nothing essential at all. their regular set was very good, however. they have a pretty unique sound.

thanks guys!!! see you in 2021 Gary! well, hopefully much sooner than that.

yeah for sure! sorry i didn't get to spend more time chatting, it's a busy weekend. hope your travels back went without incident.

some arranged words and pixels about last weekend. from me to you. https://digboston.com/solid-sound-festival-2019-wilco-the-feelies-courtney-barnett-the-minus-5-cate-le-bon-tortoise-jonathan-richman-mdou-moctar-etc/

Sister and EVOL are so great, though there a bit of noisy bits here and there. an absolute stunner of an album opener: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3eCdo0oHFI

the start of an incredible run (though some may counter that it really began w/ Bad Moon Rising).

that cover might have been my favorite part of the entire weekend, at least musically.

i'd prefer the Taylor Swift version. ok, not so much. i was happy to hear Poor Places but not exactly the karaoke version. Reservations was nice! i was also happy to hear Say You Miss Me as i've never heard that one before, and the stand-in singer did a nice job. the karaoke appearance that would have been great is Richman joining the Feelies for a Modern Lovers song. le sigh.

there were a bunch... i bought my copy as i was leaving the fest after the final show on Sunday and there were still at least 20-30 copies on display, who knows what was still in boxes.

huh i didn't realize that was Nels' wife... a friend of mine who is here knows Cat Popper so I'll see if i can find out if it was her or not.

is this the first year they are using dorms for rental rooms? or did they do that last year as well? makes a lot of sense tbh.

Worshipper record release party. Summoner ruled too. fun night. went w/ my youngest son, Redbones beforehand for dinner.

i will try to make it there, Diane!

i will be there for my 5th SSF.

Church of Misery, Atomic Bitchwax and Toke.

when you are booking a certain size venue, the options are much more limited... maybe they can do a month-long residency at Great Scott.

pretty tough when Live Nation, ASG or Goldenvoice own a lot of the venues.

you can still see the show without being in the first two rows. in terms of getting seats, bots >>> humans.

hey, who knew that i have the 1st 7" that Ween ever released! https://www.discogs.com/Ween-Skycruiser-Cruise-Control/release/1536270

it would have been the Bataan Pub Crawl

About a 30 min taxi ride. Too far to walk!

CDs are so... Early 90s What are the best five Ween b sides? Didn't know they put out many singles.
