Oil Can Boyd

Ha! It was nice to see you there - and great shots as always!

Nice interview in today's Boston Globe (and apologies if it's behind a paywall): https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/11/06/arts/jeff-tweedy-49-songs-one-band-that-inspired-his-new-book/

Reading Jeff's love for Balancing Act reminded me to put this on. Love this album.

Me too. Dude has had a rough year ...

Belly

Going to see Stop Making Sense tonight (though not on imax). I saw it a couple of times when it first came out in theaters - and I saw the tour - but have not seen it since.

Luna

Was sorry to see that he died earlier this week: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-66449150

Joe Pernice living room concert.

I stopped using twitter two weeks ago and that's been helpful to my mental health. No longer going down rabbit holes of arguments.

Really sad news that Sinead O'Connor died. She seemed really tormented for a long time. NY Times obituary

One of my faves.

Yo La Tengo - This Stupid World

Yes - wasn't it great?

Going to see them tonight. Very excited.

The start of a crazy few days for me: Tonight: The Magnetic Fields Friday and Saturday: The Feelies and the Willies Sunday and Monday: Yo La Tengo

Nice choice. Spinning is such a great song.

It's a short tour: Boston and NYC. But it was so good. They had strings and a trumpet player. They actually played it back to front because they said the flow was better. One Wilco connection: Joe Pernice talked about each song and he said that the first time he played one of them he was still in the Scud Mountain Boys and they were opening for Wilco in Chicago in 1997.
