ZiggyBratwurst Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 @u2roolz asked me to fill in for him and do tonight’s recap, which I did. But due to circumstances beyond my control I had to take notes in longhand. Will get them typed and uploaded ASAP tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A genuine laugh out load moment when I read that. How long does it take episodes to get uploaded to YouTube these days? I will have to look out for No. 200. P.S. Thanks for the summaries from me too. I don't watch what with the time difference, but special episodes like this I will try to catch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't watch what with the time difference, but special episodes like this I will try to catch. I appreciate the accolades, but seriously, all the real credit goes to @u2roolz. The two or three times I filled in for him really showed me how truly dedicated he’s been to this project. It’s fairly easy for me to jot down the songs they play and then type them into the spreadsheet the next morning. Trying to catch everything they talk about, the client comments they’re responding to, and all the other nuances @u2roolz captures in these recaps is a next-level commitment. My hat is off to him. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZiggyBratwurst Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I know it wasn't "officially" an episode of The Tweedy Show last night, and I don't know how long the stream will be available to watch on Instagram. Or if it will be saved somewhere for posterity. But in the interest of complete-ness I felt compelled to add the songs from last night to the spreadsheet. So they are listed separately, aaaallllllll the way down at the bottom of the list under their own heading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DiamondClaw Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Thanks for picking up with the recaps @u2roolz! I watched part of this today and was blown away by "Moonlight Mile." Just fantastic! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 That performance of Moonlight Mike was fantastic. Spencer did a beautiful job of that. I am so happy to have my opinion of Dave Grohl vindicated. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow they got on the subject of the nicest person in rock music. Grohl’s name came up, and Jeff jeered. He said “I didn’t know we needed a Mayor of Rock.” My opinion is that Grohl has been laying the nice guy, “Make A Wish Foo-ndation” routine (I just made that up and I’m keeping it 😂) a little thick and it’s become cloying and obnoxious. Jeff’s response strongly suggests that he shares that opinion. No offense intended towards the Make a Wish Foundation. In fairness, Jeff did say that Grohl has been nice to him every time they’ve met. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I've shared on here in the Someone Else's Song section- I met Grohl randomly at a cheesy Los Angeles club. I approached him and we proceeded to talk enthusiastically about rock music for a solid 5 minutes. No one else was around, he could have totally snubbed me, but he seemed legitimately psyched to hang out and talk. Nice dude. I can appreciate people feel some media fatigue from him though.

SleepThinkers Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I met David Grohl twice in the space of a month playing festivals and he was a tremendous guy. He is kind of the Mayor of Rock though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DiamondClaw Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I have to believe that Tweedy's anti-Grohl thing is more of a shtick now, right? I can't see him really disliking the guy at this point. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see him really disliking the guy at this point. There was no indication that he dislikes Grohl personally. It came across to me more that his antics have become tiresome. He’s such an over the top self promoter that Tweedy probably doesn’t want to give him any free oxygen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
