Mogwai is giving away (or pay what you want) a new live record from their last tour. Link below has info. https://www.sunburnsout.com/mogwai-met-un-live-en-ligne-et-fait-la-fete-au-covid/

Fantastic tape of Spliz Enz on the True Colours tour. Denver, Halloween 1980. Neil Finn is 22 years old @ this point.

Glad you were able to get started on vaccination. I have been worried about some friends in Canada. I was shocked when I learned that there was so much trouble with vaccinations in Canada. The government up there seems to usually have their act together.

Forgot to put this in post: still waiting for Wilco & DBT make up dates!

Just bought tickets for the Flaming Lips in Seattle. May 4, 2022 in a big club. Not a bubble show. As usual with the Lips, fan-friendly pricing. Hopefully the show & myself will be happening.

thank you

I'm having a lot of trouble with second shot after effects. I had some after the first shot but its worse this time. Rather like chemo. Seems to amplify my RA issues & I'm not getting around well at all. Going to try food today as that didn't go well yesterday. Don't let my woes dissuade you from getting vaccinated though. I don't do well with vaccines, even the yearly flu shot. I think its due to mixing vaccine with the exotic drugs I have to take to function.

I'm fine with people not getting vaccine. Just make sure they can't use public transportation, go to concerts & sports, eat in restaurants, etc. Maybe bring back leper colonies. Only sort of kidding.

Washington just opened up vaccine eligibility to all over age 16 yesterday. Of course getting an appointment is absolute mayhem. I'm glad I was able to get started a month ago. I'm getting my second shot of Moderne on Saturday. I anticipate that it is going to put me out of commission for a few days. I got really sick for 3 days after the first one. Pretty sure the reason is I have to take a lot of exotic drugs (chemo, etc) & they don't mix well with vaccines. I usually don't feel well after the yearly mega-flu shot & was pretty ill after getting the shingles vaccine. Vaccine has to be

2 shows have been rescheduled to 2022 for me: Roger Waters & Chris Stapleton (with the Dirty Knobs!). I was going to get a refund on Stapleton if Mike Campbell was off the bill but he's still on. Roger Waters I scored really good reasonably priced seats. No announcement on Wilco or Drive-by Truckers yet.

Lovely version of "Over the Rainbow" on this release. Watched "Wizard of Oz" yesterday & got inspired.

2 piece metal band on tour (a couple) are on tour when the drummer suddenly starts to lose his hearing rapidly. He ends up at a school for the deaf & learning sign language while hoping for an operation to stop his loss. There's also an addiction element. It's on Amazon. Note: watch with subtitles as they give an additional perspective from his point of view. The flim was also nominated for best original screenplay. I thought the film was very original & not your run of the mill hollywood production. The director didn't get nominated but did write the screenplay.

Excellent

It was actually good! Fine mindless entertainment.
