I just voted, and I am going to try very hard not to watch any news at all until tomorrow morning.

Just back from seeing Robyn Hitchcock.

I really enjoyed this film. I thought Gabriel LaBelle as Lorne Michaels and Cory Michael Smith as Chevy Chase were fantastic. Nicholas Braun as both Andy Kaufman and Jim Henson was absolutely hilarious! (Although I don’t know if knowing him from his role in Succession influenced that opinion.) I thought the film did a great job at capturing the spirit of the show at that time.

Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets

It works for me too, and I was able to delete the post I previously could not delete. Thank you.

Crowded House

He was very good, but it was almost unbearably loud. He talked a bit about some of his recent artwork, and was prompted to “talk”, he said, by Debbie Peterson who was playing drums for his band last night. He does seem like a very nice guy.

Same! (see you later )

Rebirth Brass Band

Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey, and others @ 50th Anniversary of Trouser Press show.

No need for a sad face, I wouldn’t have gone all the way to Queens to see them anyway. I just wondered where it was because when I saw your post I poked around a little to see where it was and couldn’t find anything. Glad the show was good. I have never seen them. I will check your YouTube channel! Edit: I’m curious, where was it announced? When I looked yesterday, it wasn’t on their website, nor on their instagram, nor on Brooklyn Vegan. I’m pretty sure I’m on the email list for TV Eye as well, although I don’t get a lot of email from them.

That is very mysterious. LOL. I love Beach House. I have no idea where you are seeing them tonight. LOL

That sounds great! How does one get tickets to Colbert? Do you know who the guests will be when you get the tickets?

The opener last night was Brian Lopez, Calexico’s current second guitarist. The band (minus horns) played with him for most of his set. I thought he was fantastic.They played a Calexico-ized version of The Killing Moon! I’ve been listening to his music today and a lot of it is similar to things I liked in old Calexico. Sure enough, that version of The Killing Moon is on an album of his from about ten years ago. John Convertino plays drums and marimba on his current album, which explains a lot, but Brian is very, very good. I had no idea! You never know when suddenly something will come

I, too, am sorry to hear this. I got to see him play a short set opening for Brian Wilson in 2015 (?) and he seemed pretty feeble then. He had to be helped on and off stage. The songs and his performance were great, though. RIP.

I went and it was great! I have fallen out of love with this band somewhat based on their direction over the last ten years or so, but last night I loved everything they played! (Feast of Wire 20th Anniversary show.).

I’m supposed to see Calexico tonight, but bad weather at exactly the wrong time may keep me home. We’ll see.

You should have great weather!

I could have written most of this post. I haven’t gotten to the point of not voting (don’t think I ever will), and I still keep up with the news (although watching Sunday morning political “news” shows is a recent deletion in my life), but I agree with just about everything else. Even people I know who I generally agree with get defensive and argumentative when I don’t agree completely. So I just cut it out of my life some months ago and as you say, there has been a big improvement in stress levels and salvage of relationships.

Hope you’re okay, Chuck.

I’ve basically stopped talking about politics because I just get upset when I do.
