Oil Can Boyd

I love it - and yes, was surprised at how good it is. And in saying that, I don't mean to imply that I think she's not talented; it's more as a concept, that can be hard to pull off. Live she did everything on the album, except for 12 minutes of Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands. And she added several others: Don't Think Twice, Sweetheart Like You, Not Dark Yet, Just Like a Woman, Visions of Johanna (which she said was her and Robyn's favorite Dylan song).

I saw Emma Swift (with Robyn Hitchcock) do her Bob Dylan thing last night. It was fantastic.

He talks about the title track on this episode of Song Exploder: https://songexploder.net/kevin-morby

Gotcha. Wasn't sure where you were (though the hockey stick should have been a clue).

https://wilco-reissue-store.com/ Wow - that's quite a reissue ...

Thanks all for the measured reporting and commenting. That facebook page got (and still is) pretty vitriolic and hot.

I agree on all counts. I knew they were popular but I hadn't realized that they are that big. Great show.

I too am old and set in my ways - but I really like Big Thief and am also going tonight. It's at a new venue in town which I'm excited to see.

Enjoying the new season of the Deadcast podcast - all about Europe 72. They had a segment on the Dark Star from 4/8/72. There is a four minute jam at the end leading into Sugar Magnolia which is incredible.

Tanya Donelly and the Parkington Sisters

I was listening to an old episode of this American Life (episode 161 about stories set in cars) and at the end they played Passenger Side.

See you there!

Ha! Awesome. I'm going to see him on Tuesday.

Ha! Fair point ...

After Life (by Ricky Gervais). Loved it and it killed me.

I just read the Anthony DeCurtis bio of Lou and hadn't understood the importance of that show in Lou's career.

My profile says I joined June 17, 2003. One the one hand I thought I joined earlier but on the other, that's a long time ago! I've certainly picked up lots of great recommendations for music, books, and movies here. And lived through the B+P era. There were some very kind people who shared some great music with me. Happy birthday!

Saw Dylan last night. Well, Jakob Dylan and the Wallflowers. It was good. I am not particularly a fan so I didn't have many expectations. Aside from the hits and a Petty cover, I didn't know any of the songs. But it was solid. And he was definitely a more engaged performer than any time I have ever seen his father.

Saw Buck Meek last night and picked up his new album. Great show.

Saw Magnetic Fields each of the last three nights and going back to this one.
