Loved meeting people that I have known for 20 years (and embarrassingly never met in person) - Donna, Uyen, Paul, Brianne and then all the new friends at the Vbro booking.
- Biking the Erie Canal Pathway from Buffalo to Albany with the braintrust of Postcard from Hell
- being reminded to listen to the Connells by Boss Tweedy and then infecting him with the ear worm that is Bella White
- Standing beside Uyen for a Tweedy Sonic experiment and having her tell me that Japanese Breakfast was a metre away.
- PBP amazing set
- Friday's Wilco set. This new album is fantastic and bringing me back to fandom.
- Freaking out on the Sat Wilco set about all these unmasked people and then having my hatred for Impossible Germany making me bail.
- Trying all the culinary delicacies of upstate NY (Beef on Weck, Garbage plates, Chicken Riggies)
- Figuring how the fuck Aqueducts from 1830 still work

I loved the Bonnie Prince Billy set and got to share Boss Tweedy's lyric sheet
. It was a folk church singalong with about a dozen verses handed out to the audience - each verse repeated 4 or 5 times in a chant.
I had never seen Will Oldham before and worried about being disappointed. But - It was beautiful with 7 or 8 people on stage, maybe 3 of them with instruments.Kept thinking about how this was all very very Chakra-Yoga-Saskrit feeling and then BPB just comes out and says it. Some of the verses were meant to supplant Sanskrit Chanting in a meditation/yoga practice. His reasoning was that Sanskrit is a dead, but root language, with nobody easily understanding it - so why not write his own. This reaffirmed my fandom and I gotta see him again, as many times as possible. I alway thought that he was the closest that this generation got to Bob Dylan and still think so.Explained this to a Kirpalu friend and used BPB's reasoning. Why are we still using Sanskrit chants that no one understands and frankly I am more than sick of. She replied that BPB was missing the point, and the tonal qualities of the 'Tum, Zum, Rum' sounds in the language were purposely meant to vibrate the sternum. I guess it figures that everything has already been thought of for a 5000 year old thing and hoping that Oldham also knows this - putting some 'Um' sounds in his chants.Anyway, Mike Watt, Wilco on Friday and BPB were my faves. Disappointed that Lauren Spears aka Le Ren could not make it. Did not get my chance to bug everyone in the vicinity with 'I slightly know her!'

Luke - there on the 21st (I think). grab a bike. ride.

Trying to work out transportation - but this kinda looks doable with a bike trip from Buffalo to Albany along the Erie Canal, and then picked up in Albany to avoid the 1500ft climb from Albany to North Adams.
See how it goes.
Erie canal bike route looks amaze-balls:

Hmm - this sounds really fun. Tempted to park the volvo in Buffalo and do the Erie Canal bike path to Albany and then to North Adams. Did not know that North Adams was kinda at the west end of the state.
Donna - you of course are up for this and I will get you a bike.

I'm really happy with this lineup. A terrific mixed bag of new and unfamiliar acts with tried & true & trusted ones that I'll love to see again. Styles ranging all over the map, with something to please everyone. Lucky #7 is going to be charmed.
Looking forward to Cut Worms, JB, Hand Habits, so many others!D - listen to the Le Ren album from last year. Turns out I've met her and she played my house with Tim Baker/Daniel Romano a little while ago:
She played a great set. Tweedy put her on one of his Covid playlists , and I then I realized the album 'Leftovers' was on Secretly Canadian - so dived right in. It is uniformly excellent

some of you may know Rob and Crystal Janes. Rob and Crystal were injured on their way to SBS in a horrific accident that took the life of one other passenger.
Contributed to this will all my heart and limited financial means. If you can too, please accept my thanks.

Mustafa - Stay Alive
Sam, I just been losin' my marbles, fam
I-I gotta Glock four five
I been goin' good, fam
I been rolling with some Lebanese kidsA bottle of lean, a gun to your jeans, and a little faith in me
A plane in the sky, the only starlight on this never-ending street
The cameras and cops they coulda been stars on our mother's new screens
On our mother's new screensAll of these traps, and all of these street signs
None of them will be yours or mine
But I'll be your empire
Just stay alive, stay alive, stay aliveI been, I been tryna keep my cool fam, before I lose it
These colors and flags, the sweat on your back
You're doing what you can
Pride in your hand, a price on your head, you can never let them win
Just put down that bottle, tell me your sorrows
I care about you fam
I care about you fam, oh-woahAll of these traps, and all of these street signs
None of them will be yours or mine
But I'll be your empire
Just stay alive, stay alive, stay aliveBut me I'm just tryna keep my head above water, man
And if they take it all away
Our freedom and our hearts and that glow in your face
I'll remind you who were before it changed (I'll remind you who were)All of these traps, and all of these street signs
None of them will be yours or mine
But I'll be your empire (Your empire)
Just stay alive, stay alive, stay aliveBut me I'm just tryna keep my head above waters, man -
Bella White - Just Like Leaving
JUST LIKE LEAVING
The lights pouring through my window dressing everything all up in gold and I don’t know what I’m doing here. I left the howling winds and the prairies to find some kind of idea, am I full or am I empty?
Maybe I just like hurting, building up walls and then ripping them down with my own disposition. My own hurting masks the way I feel about the world and all the little things I wish were different
And I’ve been grieving since I left old Carolina. The bars on my window didn’t leave me safe at night. Now i’ve chased your love cause I thought it might feel woolen. Like a dram on a damn cold winters night.
Some things they just like leaving, like people love and money and I don’t know what it’s all running from. Perhaps the fear of splitting open, showing some parts of yourself that you don’t even really want to know.
And I’ve been grieving since I left old Carolina. The bars on my window didn’t leave me safe at night. Now I’ve chased your love cause I thought it might feel woolen. Like a dram on a damn cold winters night.-

D - it is kinda neat how she kept tinkering with the recipe. The one in the book is slightly different I think.
Marcella Hazan’s Bolognese Sauce
- YIELD2 heaping cups, for about 6 servings and 1 1/2 pounds pasta
- TIMEAt least 4 hours
Jim Wilson/The New York Times
After the death in 2013 of Marcella Hazan, the cookbook author who changed the way Americans cook Italian food, The Times asked readers which of her recipes had become staples in their kitchens. Many people answered with one word: “Bolognese.” Ms. Hazan had a few recipes for the classic sauce, and they are all outstanding. This one appeared in her book “The Essentials of Classic Italian Cuisine,” and one reader called it “the gold standard.” Try it and see for yourself. —The New York Times
Featured in: Tell Us Your Favorite Marcella Hazan Recipe.
13,369 ratingsINGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons butter plus 1 tablespoon for tossing the pasta
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ⅔ cup chopped celery
- ⅔ cup chopped carrot
- ¾ pound ground beef chuck (or you can use 1 part pork to 2 parts beef)
- Salt
- Black pepper, ground fresh from the mill
- 1 cup whole milk
- Whole nutmeg
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 ½ cups canned imported Italian plum tomatoes, cut up, with their juice
- 1 ¼ to 1 ½ pounds pasta
- Freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese at the table
PREPARATION
- Put the oil, butter and chopped onion in the pot and turn the heat on to medium. Cook and stir the onion until it has become translucent, then add the chopped celery and carrot. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring vegetables to coat them well.
- Add ground beef, a large pinch of salt and a few grindings of pepper. Crumble the meat with a fork, stir well and cook until the beef has lost its raw, red color.
- Add milk and let it simmer gently, stirring frequently, until it has bubbled away completely. Add a tiny grating -- about 1/8 teaspoon -- of nutmeg, and stir.
- Add the wine, let it simmer until it has evaporated, then add the tomatoes and stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients well. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, turn the heat down so that the sauce cooks at the laziest of simmers, with just an intermittent bubble breaking through to the surface. Cook, uncovered, for 3 hours or more, stirring from time to time. While the sauce is cooking, you are likely to find that it begins to dry out and the fat separates from the meat. To keep it from sticking, add 1/2 cup of water whenever necessary. At the end, however, no water at all must be left and the fat must separate from the sauce. Taste and correct for salt.
- Toss with cooked drained pasta, adding the tablespoon of butter, and serve with freshly grated Parmesan on the side.

Always in love with Marcella Hazen's Bolognese sauce. Best I have ever found - but gawd it takes forever.

I've made the Caramel Pecan Apple Pie. Now it's up to the kiddos to bring the rest. Got the dining room all decked out in tablecloths and centerpiece and candles. Even made homemade cranberry sauce.
How about the rest of you? Ready to feast and be grateful in this strange year?
Happy Thanksgiving. Be kind to each other.
Looks delicious Donna. Making one tomorrow. Going for a Crispy Crust a la Melissa Clark, and will have Golden Smog on shuffle. Never made one before.

Paul! 🥰 I have a very specific memory of you from that time... It was a Sunday and you wanted to get some beer. I informed you that in CO, liquor stores were closed on Sunday and the grocery store only sold 3.2%. And you had no idea what 3.2% beer was, lucky you. 🤣🤣🤣
I don't think CO has blue laws anymore, but I live in OR now. 😄
Cheers Bridget - Hope you are doing well!!! - T

that time Crooked Fingers played the living room and had to ask Bachman what the name of the last song was
Eric Bachman - Masters of the Deal
At the scene
Of the slow crime
Of the century
Wanda Jean awoke
Attached to two IVs
Lost her name
In a shell game
To the masters of the deal
For the sanctioned closure
And the governor's seal
By the trains
On the east side
Near an oil refinery
Marvin Lee took hold
Of a snitch and let him bleed
So betrayed
In a shell game
Where the jury all agreed
Marvin Lee's a ghost
Attached to two IVs
So what if they're wrong?
So what if they're right?
Let Lenny live?
Or let Lenny die?What should be an old relic by now
Should never have been
From a tree
By a small stream
In a trifling Texas town
[?]
When they shot poor Johnny down
Duly framed
In a shell game
So the truth was not revealed
For the sake of closure
For the masters of the deal
So what if they're wrong?
So what if they're right?
Let Lenny live?
Would you let Lenny die?
What should be an old relic by now
Should never have been
The South is a ghost
A ghost is a lie
Harassing the roads
And haunting the pinesHis mind may be slow
But that killer knows
Just how you feel
How you feel
Just how you feel
(At the scene
Of the slow crime
Of the century)-

One Song
in Someone Else's Song
Posted
Fenne Lily - Half Finished
I play the start of your half-finished song
I try figuring out what you're singing about
I hope it's not something I've done
Makes me wonder if we are as well
I told you I love you and mean it completely
I just can't say the same to myself
Four to five days a week
You're gone when I wake up at midday to bright light
That tells me I'm lazy and weak
What would it be, and why?
I tell you I don't know, but sometimes I can't help
But picture a whole different life
Under birds flying South from the cold
They make it look easy to move with the seasons
But change isn't easy to hold
I'll never stand in your way
Thank you for leaving a space without speaking
Sometimes, there's just nothing to say
She's got my name on a shirt that she's never worn, and won't
They've got a fear of things changing, but I don't mind
I made no promises that I would stay, but I'll try
She's got my name on a shirt that she's never worn, and won't
They've got a fear of things changing, but I don't mind
You made no promises that you would stay, but you tried
She's got my name on a shirt that she's never worn, and won't
They've got a fear of things changing, but I don't mind
I made no promises that I would stay, but I'll try
