A good idea would be Stevie NIcks leaving FM for a while and doing her own tour with the Heartbreakers as her band. It should be interesting to hear Neil Finn singing Lindsey Buckingham songs. Or pre-Buckingham FM songs. And maybe they'll back him up on some of his own songs. That might be kind of neat. I wouldn't pay to see any of that, but I'll definitely check it out on youtube.

Another fabulous performance has been released y the NC4. https://www.stereogum.com/1988794/the-nels-cline-4-swing-ghost-59-video/video/

Why would anyone do that? Surely they can sell some copies, and that's better than nothing. People don't lose interest in records just because a band breaks up. Did they break up because they hate this record? That's the only scenario that makes sense.

New Sam Evian album in June. You Forever. Digging the first track, which was just released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIcxxeskGns

That's gotta be a great feeling! Congratulations.

Wow, that is terrible and horrifying. I hope you're on the mend and that you'll be proven wrong about not seeing any more shows.

DO NOT RESIGN

This is not just spite. It's far darker than that. With this firing, and its timing, he's sending a calculated message to everyone he has authority over.

Thanks! I think that's different than the video I was referring to. Different setlist. Found it! This is the video. Same year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9Dih6JdwpM

Trouble in Mind...should have known. That cover reminded me of the recent Paperhead album, which is also on Trouble in Mind. Good label!

Never say never: https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-excuse-conor-lamb-apos-141556517.html "Trump and the White House attempted to take credit both for Lamb’s victory and Saccone’s close loss. “The young man last night that ran, he said, ‘Oh, I’m like Trump,’” the President said at the fundraiser about Lamb."

Is this the one that's on Youtube? I was having a Van deep-dive some months back, and I found a video of him from one of the Fillmores. May have been Fillmore East, though.

^What's that last one with the foot?

I saw this record last week in the record store. Haven't seen it in years. I almost bought it, but I had already had the new Breeders album and Neil Young Time Fades Away, another one you rarely see, in my hands and that was alI I wanted to spend that day. Kind of kicking myself over that, but I guess everything is easy to find online.

Olden Yolk. A Quilt side project. I like it better than anything I've heard from Quilt, which is odd, because this is the male singer from Quilt, and I tend to like the female singer's songs better in that band.

The more interesting question to me is whether this means the GOP will try to get more moderate in an attempt to save their own asses come November, or they'll go full-on rabies and try to cram in every insane policy between now and when a new D majority is seated in January.

Sometimes you have to take a step backwards before you can move forward.

I was listening to Lovers the other day. What an amazing achievement. I think this new track is my favorite thing I've heard from Nels since "Square King" from The Giant Pin.

I don't know. Did they do a vinyl reissue of this? Mins is a cutout/old one. No lyric sheet. Was the original pressing gatefold? Mine is not.

The story is already out. There's nothing to buy here.

I wonder if this'll be the same as the bootleg I used to have on cassette. On a related note, I finally found a vinyl copy of Time Fades Away today when I was out and about. Can't wait to hear that after work.

Yeah, that's how Nels got on Blue Note. I read an interview with Don some time back. and he said something to the effect that Lovers was a one-album deal with Nels. Apparently the offer has been extended.

Nels has a new album coming out on Blue Note in a few weeks. He sent out an announcement today, and included this great video of a live in studio performance. Here is the announcement and video: I am proud (and mildly astonished) to announce the release of my quartet The Nels Cline 4's debut album, Currents, Constellations on Blue Note Records, scheduled for April 13th release. Yes! In case you don't know, the band features Julian Lage on electric guitar, Tom Rainey on drums, Scott Colley on bass, and yours truly on electric guitar. It will be available on vinyl, download and even in the a

Except for the seventh time.

I just got a record by a band called Olden Yolk. It's the male singer from Quilt. I like this record more than anything I've heard from Quilt. Which makes me wonder if we've ever done a thread for offshoot bands that are better than the main band.
