Oil Can Boyd

"It is a concert plagued by errors, a combination of flubbed vocals, bum notes, and non-synchronized swimming."

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart followed by Someday Some Morning Sometime at Yazoo Pass in Clarksdale Mississippi on Monday afternoon.

Going to Mississippi and then Memphis next week so I thought I'd jump into this.

I saw their last Boston show (at the Sinclair) and it was great. Can't make it tonight ...

Yes, they got back together for a bit. They played some shows in the UK last month and now they are playing some US shows. They were great. They played some new songs mixed in with a bunch of their original stuff. Lots of fun, lots of energy. Tanya has talked about the first album before. As you said, it was supposed to be the Breeders' next album but apparently Kim Deal had to commit to an extensive Pixies tour at the time so Tanya just put a band together as Belly. And I'm going again tonight!

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Belly!

Let's go make a picture On the island of Stromboli Eric Burdon

Going to see them tomorrow night - and very much looking forward to it.

Hard to keep up with the trades this afternoon but I can't remember ever seeing the Yankees reloading the way they have been this week. Nova and Beltran just traded ...

"Listened to Jesus etc. Was like Neil Young but a lot worse."

Just bought tickets to see Teenage Fanclub in October ...

Been watching Luther and really enjoying it.

Magnetic Fields 100000 Fireflies Born on a Train All the Umbrellas in London All My Little Words The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure

Yup. I've stuck with Kozelek for a while but I think he's lost me ...

Ha! That's awesome.

I love the comment someone posted on your FB page: "I am the Lorax and I speak for the trees!"

I still listen to this one regularly - probably more than any other REM album.

The other interesting data I saw was voter turnout by age: for the 18-24 age group turnout was 36% and for the 55+ group it was 81%. I don't know the raw numbers of voters in each group but it's telling when turnout is that low.

Not heard but read. I was in a waiting room and there was a Rolling Stone from a few months ago that had an article about Ethan Hawke which said: "Then came some tough times. In 2003, Hawke and Thurman split, followed by a lonesome stretch in which he retreated to an island cabin in Nova Scotia and drove around in the rain listening to Wilco's A Ghost is Born."

And further in the small print: "Tickets may be claimed on a first come, first served basis. Once the “free tickets” made available for a specific event have been claimed, you will not be able to use your Ticket Codes to acquire tickets for that event." I'll be curious to see how many "free tickets" are made available to shows that people on this board will want to see.

Watched this again last night. It's a pretty fascinating story and I think it holds up pretty well as a movie.

I just started listening to the 99% Invisible podcast and they had a recent episode about cassette tapes. Apparently one of the big users groups for cassettes is prisoners. http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/loud-and-clear/

Really liking William Tyler's new one ...
