Oil Can Boyd

Nice! I saw Damon & Naomi play up in Lowell last weekend opening for Kristin Hersh.

I read that Eric Gagne (remember him?) noticed something in Kimbrel's motion that was tipping his pitches and alerted Cora. He looked pretty good last night.

I don't like the fact that Kimbrel has gone from a lights-out closer to being the reincarnation of Mitch Williams.

Jealous! But it sounds awesome. I've seen them do lots of Velvets covers over the years but they definitely introduced a bunch of new ones for this show. Oh! Sweet Nuthin!

Wow - that 9th inning in the Sox-Yankees game nearly undid me. Glad that series is over.

Nice oral history of Anodyne and the end of UT: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/uncle-tupelos-anodyne-at-25-oral-history-wilco-733327/

D'oh! Just looked at my calendar and saw that I already have tickets for Richard Thompson that same night. Gah ...

I'm section B row 15 in Boston but didn't see a VIP/meet and greet option ...

Good lord - now he's mocking Dr. Ford. He's the President of the United States of America and he's mocking a victim of sexual assault.

Totally weird - the Sweethearts of the Rodeo tour is in Boston tonight, and I just ran into David Crosby in Harvard Square. (I gather he's speaking at Harvard today.) I was walking down the street when a cab pulled up and he got out. I said hi. I wonder if he will try to crash the Sweethearts show ...

I was at the 9-18-82 show in Boston and they played it coming out of space. It was fun to hear a new song and to see them continue to figure it out, both in terms of the song itself and where to slot it into the live shows.

I agree. I saw them on the Funeral tour in a mid-size club and it was really great.

I've kind of lost interest in Arcade Fire but last night they played Funeral all the way through to start the show. I still think that's a great album. https://www.stereogum.com/2015509/arcade-fire-played-funeral-in-full-last-night/video/

Whoa, really? I was pretty set on buying the 6 CD version but not anymore.

I enjoyed that book too. Blood on the Tracks is probably one of my top ten favorite albums so it was interesting to read about the sessions.

Looks like it's here at last (or coming on November 2) More Blood, More Tracks: The Bootleg Series Vol. 14 Disc: 1 If You See Her, Say Hello If You See Her, Say Hello You're a Big Girl Now You're a Big Girl Now Simple Twist of Fate Simple Twist of Fate You're a Big Girl Now Up to Me Up to Me Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of HeartsDisc: 2 Simple Twist of Fate Simple Twist of Fate Simple Twist of Fate Call Letter Blues Meet Me in the Morning Call Letter Blues Idiot Wind Idiot Wind Idiot Wind Idiot Wind Idiot Wind You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go Yo

Nice!

Not sure why it took me so long to see Gimme Danger but I watched it last night. Pretty entertaining.

Luna

That's the one I went for too ...

Luna - Days of Our Nights

As for me, I'm reading this: I've read and enjoyed other Roth and not sure why I never got around to reading this one.
