Glad I got the vinyl. Even though it’s only a single lp, it’s packaged as if it were a double, which opens to an aluminum foil looking inside with all the lyrics and credits written out. Cool look. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Anyone listen to Tell Me How You Really Feel? I gave my vinyl a first listen this afternoon and, whoa, this album is killer! Courtney taking it to the next (or second or third) level with the songwriting, with her unique voice and perspective. Super impressed! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

One reason I would never get one!

I never would, but just to play along: "Sort on long term goals"

I agree, Kicking Television

Summer Teeth of course!

The Radiators, at Tipitina's Heading to New Orleans today for JazzFest. Other than Jason Isbell and Beck on Friday, don't know who I'll be seeing at the Fairgrounds during the day. But the nights are set: Radiators tonight Daze Between Band (Eric Krasno, Dave Schools, Duane Trucks, Marcus King) at the Howlin Wolf on Thursday Gov't Mule at the Saenger on Friday JRAD on Saturday and hopefully Sonny Landreth and Tab Benoit at the Rock n Bowl on Sunday (if I'm still standing)

“I’ve always wondered what a career ending show would be like. Here it is.” Such a fun night. Summerteeth and On and On and On. Well worth the trip in from Boston. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have a hard time concluding what it the "best" anything. But R.E.M. is certainly in the discussion, and makes my list of "greatest" American bands. Which may be a list of only 2 or 3. I was a young lawyer working in downtown Boston when I first heard Radio Free Europe on the BC college radio station. Within a few days I went over to the Harvard Coop record store at 1 Federal Street (I was a frequent shopper there) and picked up Murmur. Still remember bringing it back to the office and another associate asked who they were and all I had to say was "Radio Free Europe" and he knew. I was hook

Dave's Picks Vol. 26 announced as Alburquerque, 11-17-71. Never heard it but I'll never complain about a late '71 show. Or any '71 show for that matter.

I had moved to Boston in September '79, but was home in Merrick when they won that first cup in '80.

Being in the audience last night for my one and only show of this tour, I didn't experience any train wreck cringe worthy moments. Perhaps they were there and I just missed them while being immersed in the entirely fantastic gestalt of being inside the Wang. But if there were any last night, they couldn't have been too major to escape my notice. Then again, I was psyched for this show like I haven't been for a GD related show in years. As I was getting things in order at home to leave, my wife said to me "Boy you are psyched. I can just feel the energy molecules emanating from your body." I wa
