Summerteeth, oh please oh please oh please!

i don't usually spring for the expensive super deluxe stuff but i may have to make an exception for the 9 disc BBC set. looks outstanding. i've heard boots of most of the full shows involved but would be nice to have pro mastered versions. i miss REM! i saw wilco open for them once when wilco had summerteeth out. that was a great show by both bands!

i'd be nervous about kirk cousins. we shall see....

holy day, real start of the season. even though i've become more than a bit disillusioned by the league, GO HAWKS!

I recently read (can't remember where) an interesting concept: Trump is America, Inc's test run on how the citizens would respond to a dictatorship. As someone who is a ghost in the machine of the military/industrial complex, this isn't as far fetched as it seems. I can tell you that upper management had to go change their underwear when Trump said the words "space force". If the Donald gets a second term, its going to be sign.

i saw a fantastic PJ show a few weeks ago. if you're going second night, you done good. traditionally, night 2 has been better. here, they played a half hour longer & a very punk rock set. lot of rarities & soundgarden/mudhoney assists. & they played "crown of thorns".

celebrate while you can. back to getting ground under the heels of the corporate overlords tomorrow for the long stretch until thanksgiving

i'm with you on that one

Passed away from brain cancer. He was a phenomenal keyboard player. He will be missed. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/nick-cave-the-bad-seeds-pianist-conway-savage-dead-at-58-718568/

Saw the Foo Fighters last night & sadly wasn't too impressed. It had been a real long time since I'd seen them. It was the Dave & Taylor show. Rest of the band seemed a bit disengaged. As a guitar player, Dave is an excellent drummer. Krist Novoselic's new band was opener 1 & were horrible. A friend said it was what she imagines the Manson family would've sounded like if they had recorded an album in the 60s. Krist did come out with the Foos for a rousing version of "Molly's Lips". Highlight of the show for me. The second opener was the Joy Formidable. I liked them a real lot &

excellent

its really great. gets better with each listen a new Spiritualized is always a good thing!

this isn't precisely metal but close enough. the new alice in chains record is real, real good. i gave it a listen & am going to buy.

nice tribute to the queen of soul from patterson hood https://bittersoutherner.com/the-houses-aretha-built-patterson-hood

scored some good tix for Echo & the Bunnymen in November. have never seen them.

on the opposite end of the spectrum: at the Pearl Jam show Friday, Eddie Vedder came out solo for first encore & did "I Won't Back Down". Asked everyone to hold their phones up. All of Safeco Field was lit up by 40000 + phones. It looked awesome. Pretty sure there is video up youtube of it.

don't bring your phone, jack won't like it!

the man can definitely play

cool, stay in touch. i have a friend from vancouver who is coming down for both of those shows, too. i used to travel for shows but its tough nowadays. there's a few that i would do it for if i could.

bruce saves the heathen europeans....
