awesome article!

stopped at new Beast Mode store before the game yesterday & got to meet the Beast his bad self. we didn't know he was going to be there.

Can't wait for the show on Thursday! They're doing a few interesting covers: The Bitch is Back & sneaking Sign O the Times into Hell No I Ain't Happy.

As DBT said, it's the dichotomy of the southern thing. I'm thinking about taking a knee during the banner @ the Seahawks game tomorrow. We're playing SF. The Seahawks are doing the interlocking arms things though.

1 week til the big rock show: Drive-by Truckers in a small club. Only $25 too. I'm excited! Girlfriend still an all time favorite. Such a great record. I really enjoyed the covers records with Susanna Hoffs for the most part, too. Such a talent & a nice guy to boot. Have hung out with Matthew a few times.

i wanted more!

i was into them early. i'm sort of glad they decided to move on. obviously very different people involved personality wise. they left on a pretty high note. that's not to say i wouldn't enjoy some sort of reunion but i don't think its going to happen.

I've heard the new record & its real good. There's also a tape out there of from the Belly Up in Aspen in August thats awesome. Lots of the new record & covers of "The Bitch is Back" & "Sign O the Times". "Sign O the Times" has a very different & cool arrangement.

they did have the good sense to leave though. i have a little bit of respect for lesh as he objected to the avarice concerning garcia's guitar bequest. also, he is at least following his muse & moved on. how can we miss them if they won't go away?

quite possibly my least favorite song in the world. at 1 point i hired a former friend to work in my warehouse & i had to listen to the fred every single day for 2 years. sugaree at this point brings on a psychotic reaction, so its best just to not go there. i have plenty of music that i like that i can listen to. no offense, its 1 of my little quirks. i did make an attempt a few decades ago to listen. it never really took & after the audio battery it went to another place.

i saw tedeschi trucks this week in seattle. it was a phenomenal show. i had seen them separately but not together. derek was stellar on guitar but to me susan outshined him. what a voice! & no slouch on guitar either. 1 minor quibble: my friend & i both thought that maybe they should highlight songs a little more & do a little less jamming. the jamming was good but was in danger of going into icky hateful fred territory at times. its a 12 piece band & everyone had longish solos. it wasn't bad but i just fell in luv with susan's singing. the show here was in a real nice venue, w

Same old Mariners. Come home on 8 game win streak, have a big crowd & lose badly. It's probably going to be a long weekend for them. Thank God its football season!

I got to wear Earl Thomas' Super Bowl 48 ring yesterday! I met his dad at the game. Very cool!

ahhhh, Cutler. heh heh heh

It is a high holy day for me. The start of the Seattle Seahawks season. I'm going to the game & am getting psyched! I have a complicated set of constantly evolving pregame rituals that I have started. Included are clothing, blueberries, incense & "Jumping Jack Flash", to name a few. It has worked out pretty damn well so far. I feel really good about the Hawks chances to get another Super Bowl win this year. There is a really strong & good vibe around the team this year. With the exception of an early bye week the schedule this year is looking very favorable. I think the Hawks are g

my cd from the preorder showed up yesterday (a day early). it sounds phenomenal. really like the record.

+1!

Sad because I believe those seats would've mostly likely come from the wilcoworld presale originally. I sat similar first night in Seattle & that's how I got them. I suppose some would look to make a quick buck. I scored Temple of the Dog tix in Seattle off of a presale. I could selll them & make $1500 easy but I bought the tickets because I want to see the show.

Apple has tech coming that will jam phones from recording shows. I'm there will be a fee involved for the bands as Apple isn't really know for their altruistic nature.

Jeff made a comment at the 2nd Seattle show that we had spoiled the band for the rest of the tour being such a good audience. Hopefully bodes well for Roadcase releases of the 2 shows!

quite a surprise with the stripped down approach going on. think that it was at that point where glenn got seriously engaged. him & jeff did a jam during spiders that was amazing! i'd like to hear them try art of almost with this setup. i read that they're hesitant to do wilco the album stuff because if they do a roadcase, they have to pay warners as the rights haven't reverted back yet. not sure when that ends. i would've loved to hear one wing at these shows but not complaining. we got quite the variety over the 2 shows.

Hope you have had a good trip & come back sometime! The Paramount is a very nice venue, also. Bigger than the Moore but another really cool old theater. Good venue for sure! Safe travels back to Canada.

I thought the show was close to as good as Friday but there definitely was a weird energy after the incident. People were freaked out as there was no info. Paris was on people's minds. I was on the opposite site & someone said sniper. There were enough differences in the setlist to make me feel good about going to both. I got 2 out of 3 wishes on the setlist (Radio Cure, Ashes). She's a Jar made up for loneliness nicely! The semi acoustic Bull Black Nova was interesting for sure. & Nothinsevergoing... was outstanding. Always good to hear Laminated Cat. I thought Impossible Germany was

I've seen the photographer do that before. I'm not sure about the differences between the pot laws in different states. I'm told that in Denver, it is everywhere. Legally in Washington you can't smoke in public. I'm pretty sure in Seattle that's not really getting enforced too much. Outside the city could be a different story. I'll be sitting row A main floor right section on aisle 2. I'll be wearing a bright green hat. Stop by & say hi if you have a mind to. I've got a cane & will be flying solo tonight.

some that i could seriously go for tonight: radio cure ashes of american flags how to fight loneliness just saying...
