excellent shots Charles!

what are the tracks? enter it into Discogs please!

there's a discrepancy in song title between the sleeve and the label on the record. i haven't found any mention of an actual record, but here is the audiobook: https://www.audible.com/pd/Please-Tell-My-Brothers-Audiobook/B0BV8DPKZR?qid=1680775771&sr=1-2&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_2&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=G9E9EY07D0R4VJWEBDE1&pageLoadId=tXjs0KgYQbiOQFVk&creativeId=0d6f6720-f41c-457e-a42b-8c8dceb62f2c

a friend of mine went and sent me a short clip of Wilco joining YLT for a cover of "One Track Mind," and looks like they played on a few: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/yo-la-tengo/2023/metro-chicago-il-1bbbd51c.html

i guess the Dead have deeper pockets and could afford to pull the plug. nah, they just have better lawyers.

they canceled because Mayer got covid before the event.

the band signed a contract to perform at a four day event. what the hell was his lawyer gonna do? sorry you're over Wilco and it was obv a tough decision for some folks given the uncertainty, but everyone i saw at the last SBS event had a good time.

and... Sky Blue Sky 2023 is a go! (weird that no one posted about it already... slackers! or just indifferent?)

i am rather shocked that Yo La Tengo is not playing Boston this tour.

i finally spent some quality time w/ the record, and streamed it back to back today. easily their best record since i would say Wilco (The Album), maybe even SBS. "Mystery Binds" might be my favorite of the album.

Still a good live band too!

great show last night with Jon Spencer and the HITmakers, Minibeast and Muck and the Mires.

Though I have a Blog section of my website, I ever hardly use it. But I got around to collecting every review I wrote from last year, with a lead photo accompanying it... so if you want to browse through the 55 shows and festivals I wrote about, dig in! https://www.tinnitus-photography.com/blog/2023/1/2022-recap (i am still collecting my favorite images from 2022, as there were plenty of shows I shot that I didn't also review)

Spacemen 3 - Playing With Fire

did you go to Split Single? i was there! i also caught the 2nd Dehd show at Empty Bottle, and the Arrivals and The Brokedowns at Reggie's on NYE. I loved that club, and the next door bar was really great too. Empty Bottle was a fantastic venue as well! i dug Chicago a lot.

Looks like Om will release their first record in a decade.

Budos Band

King Buffalo and a couple of local bands. tough call to miss the Oneida/Martin Bisi/Thalia Zedek show.

last night I saw High On Fire and Municipal Waste tear it up in some biker bar in Hampton Beach NH. shit ruled. too bad HoF got on so late i had to bail halfway through their set.

Suede were great, Brett really brought the fire.

maybe i missed it but given the late date and lack of annonucement, i guess SBS 2023 is a no-go? didn't they have a three year contract?

MSP were the worst band i've seen in quite some time. mindlessly dull. a total knack for writing horrible melody lines.

seeing that tour tonight.

yeah it was really good. Yorke in prime spasmodic mode and he played a ton of bass too.

just back from The Smile.
