^^^Yes. On your recommendation, I picked it up this year. I like it, but not as much as Transmissions.

IMO, 2017 was just an ok year in music -- the losses overshadowed the new releases. Usually I have a hard time limiting my list to 10, but this year I struggled to come up with 10 worthy of inclusion. 1. Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile -- Lotta Sea Lice 2. Robyn Hitchcock 3. Steve Earle -- So You Wanna Be an Outlaw 4. Spoon -- Hot Thoughts 5. Hiss Golden Messenger -- Hallelujah Anyhow 6. Guided By Voices -- August By Cake 7. Ron Gallo -- Heavy Meta 8. Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit -- Nashville Sound 9. LCD Soundsystem -- American Dream 10. The Mountain Goats -- Goths I also need to m

Donald Trump v. LaVar Ball. We all knew it would come to this.

Wishing for a speedy and complete recovery -- and hoping that Scott has health insurance.

^^ Me too. We may be that last two humans buying CD's.

If every US Senator and Representative was forced to resign over acts of poor (non-criminal) judgement they committed before they became elected officials, both chambers would be virtually empty. I don't think Franken should resign over this. Let the voters of the State of Minnesota decide his fate.

^^^ I think you've posted that previously! Start with the album Tallahassee and then we can talk.

The Mountain Goats

Today, I had a business meeting in Le Mars, Iowa. After the meeting, I drove 35 miles west across the Big Sioux River into South Dakota. It was the first time I've been to South Dakota. I've now visited 49 states. North Dakota? I'm coming for you!
