Major Stars and Dan Melchior.

in the early 90s i saw a set sale for this record in Goldmine, for $100. which was a lot of money in those days and i passed. I've never seen another copy come up for sale, and i doubt i ever will. i did get a copy of the bootleg that came out a few years ago. https://www.discogs.com/Jim-Shepard-Slit-and-Pre-Slit/release/7397745

he has not been there. watching Herndon and McEntire drum together is amazing. WAND is cool, too.

what do i win?

that can only mean one thing. they are playing the Pitchfork festival.

depending on what you are looking for, there is a strong possibility you might never actually see a physical copy.

i haven't bought a record via ebay in years, though the automated alerts were handy at times... discogs is the way to go, imo.

well this was unexpected... congrats to my friends in High On Fire!!!

that live record was my intro to the band. killer set.

he didn't say a word to the crowd, and generally looks pretty much like he did 30 years ago. i didn't realize the new record is all covers, so i was pretty confused when early on, i picked out Yo La Tengo and Nick Cave covers. i could have done without the (fucking) Eagles, but the Lucinda Williams song was a nice fit, as was the Bee Gees. i did a little research and he did this 10 years ago too. https://www.discogs.com/The-Lemonheads-Varshons/master/170242 and the new one: https://www.discogs.com/The-Lemonheads-Varshons-II/release/12923531

saw the Lemonheads kick off their tour last night, in dublin. fun show. gonna see Sleaford Mods (finally!) tmrw night.

gotta say that 3/4 of a Pussy Galore reunion wasn't really what i expected to see in 2019.

that lineup is the definition 'let's spin the wheel of bands who are touring'...

i need to finish my review but i thought the show was great. very heavy on Hell-On but i think it's a very strong record overall, so no complaints. the vocals sounded great; the biggest gap of missing Hogan was the back and forth... banter was decent but not up to usual Neko levels.

it's a soundboard shoot so i'll be hanging at the back. Neko is transitioning full diva mode...

Neko Case. Assuming some other VCers will be there as well?

my guess is the band dresses like their favorite movie characters and plays a song from that movie soundtrack. rinse/repeat throughout the entire set. I can't wait for this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re_QAb2LqgU

peak nadir of band names has been reached.

my baseball moment was with Ron House... dude was definitely into the game. all-time classic 7" sleeve from one of his bands:

mastodon w/ scott kelly tonight; kvelertak and mutoid man opening. kinda curious to see kvelertak's new singer. the old one was awesome.

i did see them in Iceland, in a tiny club after ATP finally went tits up. the light sucked and it was jammed so i didn't take many photos. https://photos.tinnitus-photography.com/p37021402 i did go on tour w/ the band for 3 dates in Scandinavia this year, and that was an incredibly great time. the Copenhagen show in particular was amazing and i got a bunch of my favorite photos i've ever taken of the band, https://photos.tinnitus-photography.com/p994700641 i am not sure if you know or not, but Matt Pike's been battling some severe diabetes-related feet issues. he had to have a sm

try it now... it should show captions in grid view, though not slideshow view. thanks! i use Etymotic ER-20s. pretty comfy and not very expensive.
