Sending my love for Susie too. 

I agree too! SS3 was not as enjoyable for me on Saturday which I thought was way overcrowded. 

SS1 & 2 were so great and I loved everything about them but 3 lost a bit of its appeal for me. 

Of course, I'm going next year regardless, but it would be nice to not have such big numbers on Sat.

Pretty funny. Tweedy can always fall back on a career in comedy if this music thing doesn't work out.  

Sure thing! I'll be in Portal 7 Lower Bowl 14 wearing plaid! 

 

I am seeing Deer Tick/Hold Steady/Replacements today

Me too!  

Leonard Cohen?

I loved it. Looking forward to the 19th in Queens!

I'm drinking coffee now so that I stay up for it! 

the first year it was Wilco on sat night, Tweedy solo on sunday

the next year Wilco did two sets

the last time it was covers set on Friday and regular set Sat.

I don't think Wilco did 2 sets the second year. I think they only did one on Sat, and then Levon closed it out on Sunday.

They all have been festivals so far. There's the one non-festival scheduled in St Paul that you mentioned and one in Queens in Sept which I'll be going to! 

I think they'd be a great fit at Solid Sound. I don't think the Replacements would be a distraction or overwhelm the festival. I think there are tons of Wilco fans that are also Replacement fans. I myself found Wilco because they were opening for Westerberg in Chicago many years ago. Anyway, I wishing for it!

I'm hoping for the Replacements, and somehow I just think it's going to happen.

This would make my entire life!

I think there's a shot of it happening too.

my gut was telling me he would do a show at Mass MoCA kinda like Wilco did in their off year

I was/am really hoping for that too. I love an excuse to go to MASS MoCA.

That pic at the bottom of the post is really very sweet.

Cowbell Josh!

Replacements - thanks for reuniting and all, but if it's just going to be the festival circuit then I wish you hadn't bothered.

They just announced a non festival gig.

So great!

I've been there. I spent a birthday there actually and really enjoyed it. I think you could make a great day out of a visit.  I had a great massage and bath at a gorgeous, historic marble bath house.

I'm in the food business so I was really interested in trying the food. We happened to be there during Ramadan which is a great time food-wise since they set up a whole, temporary food village every night after sundown. I had some delicious things like Gözleme which is a flatbread filled with things like cheese, tomato, onion. It was really delicious and I still dream about finding a place where I can have that again. They also have fantastic stuffed grape leaves...nothing like we get here. These are char-grilled and fresh with amazing flavor. They also have some great lamb dishes, but I actually got pretty ill on that so I won't go into too much detail about that   . I remember getting a fish sandwich right off the boat down by the water. I could go on and on about the food but I won't bore you if that's not your thing. 

There's amazing architecture, ex. Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia that are really beautiful. We took a beautiful night time ferry ride on the Bosphorus, sipping some apple tea in cute little glasses that was really lovely as well.

Saw it and immediately wanted to see it again. It's a beautiful film.

I saw it twice. It was so beautiful but moved so fast that I felt like I needed to see it again. I really enjoyed it.

Mr. Tweedy has shown himself to be a funny guy, but this was rather flat and uninteresting. He could probably improvise something much funnier.

Agree. He's funnier by himself on stage than the Parks & Rec writers. 

The Parks & Rec thing wasn't funny at all really.

I thought so too. Tweedy is a funny guy.

I think I paid something like $125 for VIP tickets to the Replacements reunion show at Riot Fest in Toronto last summer because I thought I was too old to deal with a festival crowd...especially THAT festival crowd. It was worth it.

SAT JUNE 7

Well, that sucks for me. I guess I'll have to pass

Already have.

You could try looking in the Woodstock or Saugerties area or Phoenicia even. They are a bit of a commute but there are many airbnb listings in those areas that I'm sure wouldn't be booked up yet. They are fun towns to visit and have better restaurants, etc. than the Hunter area.
