Oil Can Boyd

I'd never say "fully" with that band but is does appear he's not part of the new record or the tour. He wasn't part of the last NP show that I saw but they still played a couple of his songs.

New Pornographers

Bon Iver

Weird - because I read online that "Whoever their Pollster is, they suck!"

Wilco!

I was just looking at the Record Store Day release list and there's a 7-inch coming out with Nick Lowe's original Cruel to be Kind on the A-side and Lowe and Wilco performing it live (from 2012) on the B-side. https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/11876

Tanya Donelly and Friends

Luna (playing Penthouse and more)

Ha! I only saw that after the fact. How ya holding up?

They [stereolab] were great. I had never seen them but it was wonderful.

Stereolab

Saw them last night - and they played this whole album (though not front to back).

Built to Spill

Ha! Thanks ...

The White House put together talking points for congressional Republicans to use in their defense of Trump and then emailed them to the Democrats too. (And then sent a a "recall" email ...)

Go on ...

Hunter was probably the first show I went to in a club/bar. I was still in high school and used my sister's boyfriend's ID. We looked nothing alike. The bouncer looked at the ID, looked back at me, then back to the ID. He smiled and let me come in.

Nick Cave (An Evening of Talk & Music ...)

Robert Hunter RIP https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/robert-hunter-grateful-dead-dead-889788/

Enjoy! I loved it when I saw it ten days ago.

I'm getting confused by days. You saw them in Portland? I saw them Friday night in Cambridge and is was great (as always). They played 33 songs over 3+ hours. Hadn't seen them play All Tomorrow's Parties before.

And Kimbrel seems to be going from bad to worse. That was a rough outing yesterday. Red Sox officially eliminated yesterday. Pretty miserable season for them all around - except for Devers and Bogaerts.

I had mixed feelings about the Red Sox not re-signing Kimbrel last off-season but it looks like one of the few good decisions they made. He was pretty shaky in the second half last year and his troubles are continuing.

The Feelies!
