Warmer
in Just A Fan
It sucks reading about all of these lousy stories. I had an extremely pleasant experience except for waking up earlier than normal for me. In fact, I just woke up from a nap. I'm not a nap person, but I woke up at 5:50 to use the bathroom and I decided to suck it up and stay up. Watched both late night NHL playoff games on the DVR.
A sudden panic hit me as I pulled into Bull Moose Records in Salem, NH. The line wrapped through the parking lot where people were leaning on cars in the rain. The lines get worse each year. However, the staff at Bull Moose had a surprise plan that they implemented that worked like a charm to prevent any sort of malicious behavior: they brought us into the store around 7:55am and had us line up inside the store through the back. No one was left outside. This is where things really got cute & smart: people were let into the Record Store Day area 3 at a time, so I waited from 8 till 9am in line. I advised people around me to check the Bull Moose website for their selections, since their website is linked to their Inventory in real time. I just missed out on R.E.M.'s release at 8:50. I made it to the RSD section at 9 & went directly for Warmer. I somehow had the final copy in my hands.

Someone was telling me that they were going to see Mott The Hoople tonight in Boston. I checked out the FB Event page and I was shocked to see The Dream Syndicate opening the show. I think this was a recent change. Either another band was supposed to open or they just made the announcement last week.

I read somewhere amidst all of this madness that Warmer will be available to purchase at Solid Sound. I'm not sure where that originated from. Maybe someone asked the person selling merch at the solo Tweedy shows...

I think there was way too much going on on TV whenever an episode of True Detective was on the air. Golden Globes, SAG Awards, Critics Choice Awards, Super Bowl, Grammy's & Academy Awards. The only episode that I watched in real time was the penultimate episode (aired on Feb 17). So I sort of watched it any night of the week that wasn't on a Sunday except for the 2 episode premier night. I had to watch it after the Golden Globes. It got tough to really get into due to my viewing habits. I enjoyed it overall, but was swearing up & down when the first episode aired. Felt way too much like season 1. It got better in terms of creating its own world. It had a very cool moment involving a laptop and a picture of 2 men. This season had the most red herrings, but it was engaging and sort of ended on a quiet and hushed note. It was certainly the most personal story told in this anthology series. Everyone was really well cast. I just hope that the next season is something completely different in a brand new setting. I'd definitely set aside some time in the near future to sit down and try to binge the whole season over 2 nights.

R.E.M. Record Store Day release - Bingo Hand Job Live At The Borderline 1991. Lots of cool stuff this year.
Bingo Hand Job was the alias that they used in London for a show. Lol.

Had a ball with Miracle Workers which just premiered on TBS last week. It's a limited series (7 episodes) where Steve Buscemi plays God. It's from Simon Rich who did FXX's equally creative Man Seeking Woman.
I'll post my thoughts on True Detective on Monday. Can't believe this season is already in the books after this Sunday.

Agreed! Thankful that it's on iTunes and Spotify. I think I've seen the vinyl once. Pretty sure it never got a proper disc release.that live record was my intro to the band. killer set.
Here's the music video for Black Light.
Extremely different than the last record. Steve Wynn's vocals first brought to mind Underworld's Karl Hyde.

They may have got their information from wiki, the below is on the wiki page.
The film was released in 1997. Being There was out for 7 months. I don't think Wiki was around.

Far, Far Away in Kiefer Sutherland's directorial debut Truth Or Consequences, N.M.
I'm going through a 90s post Pulp Fiction phase. Interestingly enough the song is only credited as "written by Jeff Tweedy". There's no mention of Wilco, but it's practically the whole song from Being There.

Yes, not only that, but this will take away all of this power that he was wielding over all of these women. There's no coming back from it.Me too I say this because he threatened suicide to women if they didn’t respond immediately to him according to the article.
^ This & I also listened to one of the voicemails that he left for a music journalist. He didn't like the review that he gave him & started questioning why he likes other artists' shows. He just sounded like a whiny little bitch.

I have this weird vibe that he's going to kill himself.
I enjoyed his music, but grew sick of his tirades. I hung out with him after his show at Hampton Beach, NH. My friend lent him his demos at the show before and wanted to give him some feedback on it. He even got to open for him a year later. Anyways, we hung around the tour bus and there was some young woman by herself that was only there because she had weed for him. Parker Posey called him & he walked off to talk to her. We were on the tour bus for maybe 5 minutes. He had a gaming system out back and his manager came to tell Ryan to give us the boot because they were heading to Montreal & needed to get "rid" of the weed before they hit the border. So we got the boot and he was left alone. I'm almost positive that the band had their own bus or they were off somewhere. It was in April 2005 early part of the Cold Roses tour. It was a cool experience and 8 months prior I had met Jeff Tweedy after only my 2nd Wilco show.
Then all of the crazy stuff started happening at his live shows that my friend told me about, but he kept going to see him. I can't even recall how many shows of his that I skipped. Ryan didn't like the lighting, so he cut the show short etc. I think that happened in Maine & my friend was living in MA.
I also hated how he treated Neil Finn & Janis Ian on Songwriters. Something seemed weird. I never really heard Elton John talk about him anymore. He was a big advocate for him around Gold & they even did a Storytellers together.
The news about this is horrible for all of the women involved. I haven't listened to him in quite some time, so I don't feel like I've been fooled or anything like that. He just fell way off my radar. Recently, I had caught his social media posts about making an album and I was intrigued.

The lineup is going to be announced a week from today, according to the Solid Sound official FB page.

I'm hoping for a lot of Summerteeth at Solid Sound. It should also be noted that U2's The Joshua Tree was also released on a March 9th.

I feel like this band would be in my wheel house. I love the Wynn side projects (e.g. Gutterball and The Baseball Project), but have never heard any Dream Syndicate. Where should I start? Days of Wine & Roses?
Yes, that's the best place to start. They only put out 4 records in the 80s & had one a few years ago. Plus, they put out a legendary live album: Live At Raji's.
Here's another Steve Wynn side project: Steve Wynn & The Miracle 3.

The Dream Syndicate just added 5 dates in May on the East Coast. D.C., PA, NYC (2 shows) and Somerville, MA.

I saved an image with a blurb about their new album due in April. I'm going to look for that now. The image won't load probably because I'm on my iPhone. The album is due in May & called These Times.

Loved Stan & Ollie. Saw it a week ago. Thought it was perfectly cast. It was also really about trying to avoid being obsolete.
I'll be back with my True Detective thoughts. Just wanted to remind some folks that this Sunday's episode is already on HBO Go/HBO Now because of the Super Bowl.

We could vote for a setlist in realtime via cellphones.
The band could give us 30 seconds to vote on 2 songs and then they can tell which one got the most votes.

Found this on YouTube, says 2005. The clothes are the same as in the photos on the acltv link. Starts off with ALTWYS.

Yeah. It looks like they snuck in some pics from their 2004 taping which only aired as a half hour split episode with another band that escapes me at the moment. The 1999 show I can't find anywhere online. The 2012 show I still have saved on my DVR.
Edit: OK. It looks like the ACL link has pics from all of the shows except for 1999.
-
Anyone else NOT receive any email announcing these dates? If I wasn't on here or on Facebook, I would have never known.
-
Yes. It was Can't Stand It. They played it with a few guys on violin. Cool hearing Jay Leno mention that they were about to start a world tour with R.E.M. in June of that year.

The songs are correct in the prior post, but here's the official PBS link.

This thread gives me the courage to finally make a Mandela Effect thread.

Newbury Comics is selling WARM with an autographed booklet.
I just received this item. The cd is wrapped and the autographed booklet was out in the open in the package, but isn't destroyed at all. Weird to have 2 booklets, but I guess that it makes sense.

RSD releases will be on sale online starting this Monday @ 7am. Right now Sanford, Maine is the only Bull Moose location that has Warmer. I've seen past RSD titles in their stores. The Bull Moose that I go to all the time still has one copy of Live At The Troubador.
I'd check the website on Monday to see if it shows up. It's possible that they put out so many and have maybe 1 left out back for a possible online sale. Good luck!
