I was there for that one too. October 30th and 31st. 16 year old me struggled the next few days of school.

I am going to annoy the absolute shit out of my wife with all the different versions of Spiders.

That’s Jeff Knurek, who is pretty active in the A Shot in the Arm Facebook group.

He's on more than just that song. https://pitchfork.com/news/taylor-swift-releases-new-album-the-tortured-poets-department-listen-and-read-the-full-credits/

Just a perfect song. Hard not to listen to it several times in a row.

I think we all need to hear the original, uncut drone from Less Thank You Think.

By my count, Wilco has released 184 songs from studio albums, including Mermaid Avenue 1 and 2. That is a lot of lyrics/chords/arrangements to remember. I seem to remember listening to a podcast with Mikael around the time of Ode to Joy saying they are picking and practicing set lists based on how they want to present a show and the amount of gear they'd have to bring on tour. I'm just glad Wilco is still going strong. They can play practically the same set every night I see them and I'd be happy.

Weirdly comforting to hear a Beatles song in 2023.

Recommendation for any baseball fans (even non-baseball fans like my wife) who visit Kansas City: The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is a MUST see. So much history there. I was lucky enough to trail a tour given by the president of the museum to White Sox coaches a few years ago and it was incredible. A really cool music connection is that Geddy Lee bought and donated over 400 baseballs signed by Negro League players to the museum.

“ Hi Ohmmies, We wanted to let you all know about a little change coming in the future-- we are still a band, still touring, still love each other, and are having a smashing time working on a new record-- but we are changing our band name. There is a long story but the short one is that we had to and we see it as part of our life as a band to evolve every couple of years-- kind of like a Pokémon. We're going to announce our new band name next week but we wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for your incredible and continued support these past 8 years. We love being Ohmm

FYI (to everyone, not trying to sound like a douchebag) they are called Finom now.
