yeah it's a bit of a drag. i did an interview w/ Howe Gelb some years back and we talked about Joey a bit at the end... i ended up not putting it in the published piece but should probably post the full version sometime... he basically said that Joey felt like he needed a go at the brass ring and took Howe's drummer along for the ride. i don't think Howe was bitter about it (though i'm sure he felt bitter at the time), just that they had different expectations of their place in the music industry.

gotta say that this Ethers record is quite good. certainly not groundbreaking but will appeal to fans of bands like The Clean, Parquet Courts, etc. https://open.spotify.com/album/46TJDtMocf9tN9l2AGZl2C?si=pxTylNBWRya5smCh0_frOw

yep. that's their best record. the first time i saw Calexico was pretty early on, and they invited Pinetop 7 to get on stage for the last song, a brilliant runthrough of this. i've never seen them play it again. sad face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-dBJ7lYv44

he also had a bit of an additional Neil Young streak in that he would revisit/re-record songs occasionally, or put them out via live recordings a la Time Fades Away (ie, check Trials and Errors). his career and how it ended is so heartbreaking.

stevie nicks does not belong on that list

yes! i was waiting for the headlining boston date, esp as now i can't use the tickets i bought for dublin

if Kraftwerk and Devo don't make it, The Eagles HOF status should be revoked.

High On Fire and Enslaved, tonight in Dublin!

Thanks!

i can't seem to get tickets without a presale code... help a fellow VCers?

what is the presale code?

you keep calendars that are 20-30 years old? i don't.

who has calendars? btw, a good piece here: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/09/how-we-know-kavanaugh-is-lying

there is also a photo I took of Tweedy on the left top of the 2nd shelving unit, rightside.

yeah there are two IKEA chairs and a footrest that I cleared out for the photos. some people were freaking out on instagram about having the records right next to the fireplace. first off,i barely use it, and secondly, when there's a fire, the edge of the shelving unit is not affected by any rise in temperature. there is way too much in the way of it to be a concern. did anyone notice the small Wilco framed show poster over the stereo, in the corner? TCP, i definitely did swerve hard into CD purchases in the 90s but there were still some artists that I continued to buy in vinyl format.

are being profiled in a feature via The Vinyl Factory. kinda neat-o! https://thevinylfactory.com/features/home-grown-records-are-a-way-to-connect-with-people/

i made the exact same point in my review: https://digboston.com/fotobom-foo-fighters-dinosaur-jr-speedy-ortiz-fenway-park-night-two/

i will try that, thanks! yep, that was the issue. you rule.

anyone else have issues logging in with chrome? it's weird... I cleared my cache and can't login via my work laptop, but my home PC is fine using chrome. I get this error on the work one: (hmmm... now I can't even cut/paste into this post using IE!)

or your watch... he needs a new one.

100% agree. he had a blown voice for the boston show but still played the same amount of songs as on previous shows this tour. i guess i might be the only one who's OK w/ a set duration of 75-90 min, which is pretty ideal for most bands i'd say. my biggest pet peeve for static set lists is Blue Oyster Cult, who trot out the same 10-12 songs each time. two years ago they played Psycho with a teaser that it would be a deep cuts set list, but aside from "Tattoo Vampire" it was anything but (they'd already added "Golden Age Of Leather" a couple years back).

ha, i did not! and thank you.

they are my photos. unfortunately i was kept to the far side of the stage near Jonny but did what i could!
