Excellent news. Congratulations.

Thanks for posting.

My wife and I rarely fight. Last night we got into an argument because she claimed that I "don't hate Trump enough." While unlike her, I don't promise to assassinate him on a nightly basis, I had to argue and demonstrate that I do, in fact, hate Trump plenty. She was unmoved. This morning we laughed about it and promised to turn off CNN for a week. Sign of the times.

^^^ I agree about the editing -- it's spectacular and causes you to watch each show closely. Succession is on my list. Haven't started it yet -- thanks for the recommendation..

The last time I saw The Mountain Goats, John Darnielle came out wearing a suit and was bare-footed -- first time I recall him not wearing shoes on stage. It was weird. On the other hand, Byrne and his whole damn huge marching band were barefoot and it was sublime.

Not to hijack this thread, but what burns me more than the "lazy setlist," is the artist/band with an extensive catalogue that only plays a 75 minute set. For example, I saw Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks in June and was disappointed at how short the show was. 1:45 should be the minimum and two hours doesn't seem like it's asking too much. Reduce the time between the opener and the headliner.

Sharp Objects on HBO. I like it. Has a True Detective vibe to it.

^^^ Love it! Sonically really different from Crazy Rhythms -- obviously Peter Buck's production accounts for some of that. I can't believe I missed this band back in the 80's. Thanks for the recommendation. What Feelies album should I get next?

^^ Both. I can't stand Mumford and his sons, but the way NFF went about the big reveal -- no announcement until they actually took the stage that they were the Saturday headliner -- was annoying. I was standing three rows from the stage for Courtney Barnett (who proceeded the Saturday night headliner at the Fort Stage) and stuck around/held my ground hoping that it was going to be Neil or anyone besides Mumford. By the time I started seeing a banjo and upright bass set up (meaning it was going to be Mumford), it was 30 seconds before show time and pretty hard to get the hell out of dodge. I

Yep. Nels sang What Light -- some of it in key. I had a great time. The only disappointments were (1) missing the Autumn Defense's set and (2) the way the "unannounced" headliner on Saturday night was handled. It turned out to be Mumford and Sons -- whom I can't stad (especially the sons). Otherwise, it was a great weekend.
