Re: Heathens Homecoming 2024
My understanding based on incomplete knowledge is that the weekend's activities raised about $64K for Nuci's Space. PS While I paid less attention to the demographics this year than i have in the past, my impression is that the encouraging trend towards a younger more female audience that I identif...

Technical question which requires a ruling from the poobahs: Are we dating things to the Wednesday Dimmer Twins outing or to the first rock show on Thursday? These things are important. To somebody.

Re: Heathens Homecoming 2024
I’m getting pretty excited to see everyone. My old buddy, JR, who came last year as a HHC virgin is joining me again this year. I’ll see y’all in a few weeks… We're looking forward to see everyone, as well! The old excitement is building. On that note, how about some nostalgia? https://www.thefacts...

Re: Unpopular Opinions
My brother-in-law has a career at Costco and they pay him really well so I will never talk shit on them since they take good care of my sister and niece.

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
Meh is all I can say. I can appreciate what they did but I doubt this will get much replay. I don’t mean to be a stick in the mud, but the original is still the definitive version for me. A bit unnecessary to be honest. That’s a valid opinion. As for me when I revisited that era over the last decad...

Unfortunately, this seems to be an off-center pressing on LP2. It only seems to affect Side D.

Re: The Dirty South-Reissue Preorder
The resequencing threw me for a loop. I also assumed that they would be using the Fine Print versions of the cut songs, so was surprised to hear these new takes. Like bubba, I still prefer the swampy BTCD version of Goode’s Or the even swampier, more menacing versions of the last four or five years.

Re: Jason Isbell - Weathervanes
It’s a stunning record, and I was not expecting it. The expansive production with individual instrumentation standing out in the mix is a far cry from Dave Cobb’s “wash of sound with the vocals in top” approach.

After fifteen years, I finally got around to FDR by Jean Edward Smith. Considered by many to be the definitive biography, I've known of it but never had the time. Lately, I've been into audiobooks when I walk and in the house when Beth is working (her office is in the middle of the house), so I dove...

Finished all eight episodes and found it quite entertaining. Can't argue with that in that we did watch the whole series, it moved along at a nice pace and it was not w/out its pleasures.

We loved this one, and I thought the music was much better than one would expect. They said, there are so few series I can make past two episodes that give me Rock & Roll, competently done, and I'm in.

Re: What's Everyone Listening to?
Say you're in the mood for some music by Neil Young. How the heck do you (the general you) decide what to listen to? Neil isn't one artist. He's at least three (Crazy Horse, acoustic Neil, eclectic Neil) and maybe more, depending on how you want to dice it. For me, while I'm glad to have had my pha...

They're playing a free outdoor show in Water Valley, MS on Saturday but Beth is sick so I'd have to drive up by myself and come back after their show. I don't think it's going to happen, sadly.

None of the three do much for me. I like everything about the guy, I just wish I liked his music more. I did enjoy Reunions quite a bit so I had hopes but so far it's not working.

I put on their latest album and didn’t make it through two songs You don't seem to like much of anything new these days.
