I think there's more going on in this song than just the father/son thing. That middle verse tells you that white men wearing ties (politicians, judges, etc) are deeply involved in whatever caused the steam to rise off that man's insides in downtown Birmingham. This would have to be Cooley's earlies...

Probably the odds-on favorite to be my AOTY.

This is great.

giving this one a listen

It's been a sparse year for new music so far, at least for me

These are in no particular order. Most are mine but some aren't. https://i.imgur.com/r2J6zWO.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/tMmIL8N.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/clRR3CV.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/Sx5flCd.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/hIUuB7E.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/2VRFfNk.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/p8X70XM.png https...

Been listening to Gordon's Fri-Sat homecoming recordings from last weekend. Hoping a recording of the Thursday night show is posted soon.

But sanctions? What is left to sanction? Didn't we drop the hammer repeatedly post invasion? Didn't we kick Russia out of Swift (the global banking standard)? WTF is left to sanction and why the hell WOULD there be something left to sanction? Biden to Putin: https://joservesitup.files.wordpress.com...

Good one. JTE's shirt cost more than his guitar

Finished up True Detective: Night Country last night and really enjoyed it. Jody Foster is an amazing actress and I wouldn't be surprised to see her win some awards for her performance. A big THANK YOU must go out to the Ringer for its obsessive coverage of the show which helped me to understand (a)...

Is jerking off legal in Alabama? (asking for a friend)

There def should be legislation to ban it. After all, each of those sperms is practically a full grown child and you're a mass murderer for putting that kleenex in the trash can.

One fun moment from Homecoming that keeps popping back in my head was Patterson joining Paranoid Style onstage for "Stumbling In." Superb song choice and a masterful performance by all involved. I'm storing my memory of that in the same happy headspace as that time Patterson and Sweet Baby Jay coll...

But the one constant, the one that just doesn't go away and sets me off every time are the never ending go fund me appeals for medical emergencies. Let me be clear: I am NOT complaining about the asks. What frosts me is that they continue to be necessary. This is so outrageous, so heartbreaking, so...

Turns out Hans Condor was pretty polarizing. If you ask anyone who was up front (as I was), they were fuckin amazing. If you asked anyone who was farther back or by the bar, they were... not so amazing. I was all the way back by the bathrooms, but I know greatness when I see it. Hans Condor fucking...

2. Though it gets a little fratty late at night, The Roadhouse has become our group's go-to pre-game spot. Not only is the beer cheap and cold, but they actually had a Knoxville band playing last night that we knew. Shoutout to High Heat. 3. I didn't get out to eat as much as I usually do, but the ...

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...

i assume it's no surprise to anyone that my dead* son, Bryan, is always with me, but sometimes he's more with me than at other times and this week has been one of those "more" times, so this 38 word capsule review is dedicated to the memory of Bryan Max Bernfeld : I have come to realize that almost...

3. I described Hans Condor to multiple people last night as "Big, Stupid, Rock and Roll", and I mean that as a compliment. They're not my favorite band from our local Nashville scene, but I love when Patterson brings bands I've caught down the road to Homecoming, as it feels like a major moment of ...

He'll never be Patterson as far as not repeating songs during multi show stands, but I think Cooley's gotten a lot better at it recently. I'll leave it to the statheads to do the math if they're so inclined but I feel confident that this year's Cooley "setlist" was his most varied ever. Speaking of...

No "Zip City." Gotta be a rarity for a post-SRO rock show. There was that one stretch, i want to say in the mid-2010's when Cooley dropped it from the set for a few months. But other than that, 2 zipless shows in a row is fairly rare i think. Just one Zip City and one Where the Devil Don't Stay, bu...

I had been greatly looking forward to the opening set by The Paranoid Style but I was also a bit concerned about how their very wordy, quirky and clever songs would translate to the live stage and I have to say that while it was exciting to see them (especially with the estimable Peter Holsapple on...

Random notes: Never listened to or even heard of Vision Video but goddam their opening set on Thursday night was one of the best I've ever seen at HHC and that includes all the great ones like dexateens, cracker, lydia loveless and all of them. Another amazing set was Thelma and the Sleaze who playe...

I think that what we're witnessing is the complete breakdown of the American system of voting, elections and politics.

You're about 8 years late on this observation bubba

Bummer. Haven't listened to him much in the last few years since I don't have XM Sirius but I always enjoyed him when I did have it

Surprising but not shocking
