Oil Can Boyd

Nice. I just saw them open for Horsegirl and really liked them.

Clem Snide

They probably each deserve their own threads but sad to see that both Dave Allen (Gang of Four) and Clem Burke (Blondie) have both passed away.

Horsegirl

Jon is such a fantastic drummer, plays with a great variety of bands (since leaving Superchunk), and is very very funny.

New one from Kinski - Stumbledown Terrace

Seeing news of a forthcoming 45th anniversary edition of this got me to put this on.

And ...? Must have been great.

Bill Janovitz (again) with his band Crown Victoria

Looking forward to see Gang of Four play this (and more) in April on their final tour. They just announced that Ted Leo will replace David Pajo on guitar for the tour.

In the past ten days or so I have watched these four - and I've liked them all: A Real Pain Conclave Saturday Night Will & Harper

Bill Janovitz (from Buffalo Tom)

I love the Philomena Cunk character. So many laughs.

I saw 28 Up when it was in theaters in 1985 and have been obsessed ever since. It is such a great series, particularly as the participants get older and have a better sense of who they are. Thanks for the reminder.

I saw it yesterday and really liked it. My expectations were low (particularly after my local paper (The Boston Globe) panned it) but I was thoroughly entertained.

Me too - about half way through it. I'm enjoying it, particularly the detail of the early years. I started listening pretty early on but there's a lot I didn't know.

Sad news. (He signed my copy of Pleased to Meet Me at an in-store in 1987. Paul wrote "Bob is sick" on my copy of Let It Be and "So is Paul" on PTMM. Slim added "So is Slim" underneath Paul's.)

Anyone looking for a mix of Six-and-a-half hours of Marquee Moon /Tom Verlaine guitar solos?

Been reading John Lurie's autobiography. Quite a character ...
