so i paid a LOT of money for the Sabbath VIP tickets, even at the lowest tier. of course, getting excellent seats was a great aspect of it (something like 9th row center), but we also got to see the soundcheck along with about 50 - 75 other people. the first bit was the drummer doing a drum solo (hard pass), it ended w/ Ozzy coming out and singing "Iron Man," but the middle was an instrumental version of "Symptom" which pretty much made it proper value. Iommi is by far the best riff master ever, and it was pure joy watching him blaze through that.

totally. I even think "Supertzar" is pretty awesome. It could fit in a Jodorowsky movie.

Abbath!

so many great songs i skipped over too... "Dylan In The Movies" and "Piazza, New York Catcher" were very tough omissions.

Belle & Sebastian The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner The Stars of Track and Field Fox in the Snow String Bean Jean I Fought In A War

how psyched were you when you first heard "Symptom Of The Universe"?

The Dream Syndicate Halloween That's What You Always Say Tell Me When It's Over John Coltrane Stereo Blues Forest For The Trees

that's cool! thanks for the update.

does anyone else have the thought that Trump has hired Berlesconi as an adviser?

Devo Gut Feeling Gates Of Steel Smart Patrol/Mr DNA Space Junk (Can't Get No) Satisfaction

no. neither does Powerman 5000.

i am pretty surprised by the absence of Sturgill in your list.

they rule. Shogun is a great singer and front man too.

two of my friends used to be in that band, before they got kicked out.

Eli Keszlar at Boston City Hall

Rich is awesome, both as a person and a photographer.

thanks for that.

nah i am gonna hang at home tonight. not a big fan of his solo work and i figured that he might not be doing any MMJ songs. and also, from what i saw last night there is no photo pit. edit - actually there is!

you hitting both shows?

2016 was the year that facts just didn't matter, but it the machinery to enable this way of thinking has been in the works for a while... Thanks, Ailes, Murdoch, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. this was incredibly depressing to listen to. it's definitely worth a listen, and while there aren't too many here, I would love to hear the perspectives of Fox News viewers on this. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/599/seriously?act=1#play

does he know that the ballot had more election races than just the presidency, and also had referendums?

hey Monica, i can't provide all the details, but hopefully this is helpful. first off, North Adams is not too close to Boston (likely where you will be flying into), and i am not sure of any public transport options available. it's about a 2 hr drive. maybe ridesharing could work, w/ fellow Wilco fans heading out from Boston? The other issue is lodging. the only close-by option is camping, and i doubt you'd want to haul camping gear w/ you from overseas. i think most places within a 15-30 min drive are already booked. sorry to not bring better news, but unless you rent a car and don't mind d

I need to give the William Tyler, Ryley Walker and Steve Gunn records more listening time.

i saw a few shows at the Rat, but nobody who later blew up big. well, in a moderate way, i did see Mark Sandman play there in a band called Candy Bar, which was an interim band between Treat Her Right and Morphine.
