Listened to the new one yesterday for the first time. Love it. Peter Buck's fingerprints all over it. For me, it's been a great fall for music. Excellent releases from many of my long-time favorites: Wilco, DBT, The Handsome Family and not this one from Alejandro.

Done. I'm a sucker for shameless self-promotion!

Congrats to the hated Cubs. I'm very happy for the many die-hard Cub fan friends of mine. I'm even happier that this is finally over and done. The past week has been hard on my mental health.

The only silver lining to being a White Sox fan living through this nonsense is that I was able to pick up Blackhawks tickets for Sunday night well below face value.

Great topic. I didn't listen to "All Things Must Pass" until 7-8 years ago and I completed neglected the Grateful Dead's catalogue until 5 years ago. Shame on me.
