Hey Chuck, what did you think of this one?  It's gotten good review so far.

It's really good. All Matthew except for the drums. He's got his long time drummer Rick Menck covering that. Matthew has put out a string of really good records that have sort of flown in under the radar. Less distractions back living in Omaha, haha. I know him a little from back in the day. He produced a demo for some friends & have hung out with him some at some record label functions back when there were record label functions. I probably have a good story somewhere that wouldn't be politically correct to share here haha.  Really nice guy. I've been a fan since Girlfriend. Still 1 of my all time favorite records. He'd be a great opener for Wilco should touring become a thing again.

RIP. David Johansen is the last one standing from the classic Dolls. I'm feeling old.....

Fantastic!

If you ever get a chance to see The Dimmer Twins (Hood & Cooley) do it. The show I saw was fantastic.

Did anyone here get the other DBT that came out this year? I was surprised to learn about this.

Yes. Another excellent record from DBT. They are on a roll with 2 great records in a year. The current (& longest lasting) lineup is really strong. Great cover of "The KKK Took My Baby Away" on "The New OK". I'm not able to buy many CDs as I'm on a fixed income now but I splurged & got this one. No regrets. DBT are one of my favorite bands, about equal to Wilco. I've had a bit of dialog with Patterson Hood via email & he's a really nice guy. We bonded over Midnight Oil during the last Oils tour. The last 4 DBT studio records are all keepers. All 3 shows from last years Heathen's Homecoming are available online. Epic collection & worth picking up the downloads.

Emma Swift. Her recent album of Dylan covers is really good & produced by Pat Sansone to boot! She also lives with Robyn Hitchcock & has been streaming shows of cover versions with him. I heard the 80s one & it's really fun.

Bjork. I actually chatted her up once when she was in the Sugarcubes. 

RIP Bones

Bass player & singer for the Oils. Really nice guy. He will be missed.
