Chez

I picked up a used copy of End Time this morning for one whole dollar. I'm looking forward to listening to it tonight.

^^^ The third -- Lay of the Land -- is also great. They all are. I will have read all four in the last 8 months. Thanks for the heads-up on the Fresh Air interview.

Thanks, LouieB. I LOVE the Handsome Family (and Eleventh Dream Day, for that matter). I'll have to check out some Freakwater.

How does Freakwater's sound compare to Eleventh Dream Day's?

I saw YLT last night. First time I've been to a YLT show where my ears didn't hurt afterwards. It was mellow (really mellow), but still quite good. Great set list and I thought the vibe really brought out the best in Georgia's and Ira's voices. If you're a fan, you'll like it.

Yo La Tengo

^^^ You won't be disappointed. IMO, it's one of the best releases of 2015.

^^^ I agree. I don't have a problem with Joe Buck. Harold Reynolds, on the other hand, isn't much of an analyst. Worse than Tim McCarver.

^^^ I just learned this weekend that Mark Kozelek was in the movie Almost Famous. How did I not know that until Saturday? That's a rhetorical question.

Anyone else watching The Grinder? I know it's a network comedy (Fox, no less), but I'm really enjoying it. Rob Lowe and Fred Savage are pitch perfect and the rest of the cast is really good.

Today is 80's Brit-pop Day

I would only go to that festival if it didn't play a date in Philly.
