So I’d heard of Cracker for years in the DBT community but never really listened. A friend sent this song the other day. Patterson is playing in the video. The song would be a great homecoming sing-a-long. https://youtu.be/nA3rDnZelzo Start from the beginning and work your way through their discogr...

IMHO - McCartney's post-Beatles masterpiece. Love everything about this record!

Another reflex reaction to this fucked up world...and I apologize for doing so and taking a left turn here - just watched AOC's point of personal privilege with my daughter. It was so refreshing to listen to an articulate voice, stringing two actual sentences together, and more or less, effectively...

Thanks for that Chuck!

What a massive eye roll. Couldn't get through that entire piece. The only thing that hits me weird about this piece is some underlying sense that Patterson is apologizing for the name of the band. But that is not really the crux, it is a catalyst to a conversation that, it seems to me, is always go...

What Bubba said. Bad things happening to good people, good things happening to bad people. The state of the world these days, it appears. Was blessed to pre-game there back in 2017 (I have that unique beer menu ,with all brews named after Truckers' songs, framed at home) and enjoyed their contributi...

Interesting. Put this record on this morning as I was getting ready. Had not listened to it in years. Hope you enjoyed as much as I did CtK

There are Toronto dates booked. A two night run this time but a larger venue. :D :D :D Odd. Lee’s was a fantastic venue for them and they clearly loved playing there. Can someone please enlighten me about these Toronto dates. I do not see them on the band's main page. I agree ZUTM about Lee's being...

Well, I'll defer to CK, Iowan and TC and their on-the ground-analyses. My sincere gratitude for bringing me back from the brink and do hope that y'all are right about this. I did notice a number of t-shirts and lawn signs proclaiming : "Literally anybody else 2020" while in Georgie last month. I'd r...

From north of the Border, I think I can speak as a global citizen and state my sense of frustration and resignation to the 'moderates' of the democratic party for aligning with a candidate that can barely string two sensical thoughts together. Trump will mop the floor with the rag doll. No vision, n...

Echoing Cortez, a perfect record really. If I could take, say, 25 albums to my desert island as opposed to the traditional 10, this would be one of them.

I find myself thinking they are one of the great rock n roll bands! Picked up Double Thriller in Athens. H...

Reading Iowan's post - and echo every sentiment. Only met Patty the once and I recall her humour - teasing Ben at the 40 Watt. There are no words that need to be said, but I will say this - you lead by example my friend. You make us all want to be better. Your family thrived and will continue to thr...

Love this - thanks for putting this together Tyler! I am struck by the number of 'rarities' that were played in Toronto during the three night stand last July. Lucky moi (amoungst others, of course)

Thanks for clarifying - must of been my daughter who showed me the picture back then - I am a social media phobe.

I like Armageddon’s back in town. Seems similar to the recent Patterson tunes. But that cover..ugh. Not feeling it at all. Looks like something we all could do on our phones in a couple of minutes. But I am excited for the new album and will be ordering the presale vinyl. I miss Wes Freed too. Some...

Ronstadt > Del Ray I've tried to listen to that LDR record but it just doesn't resonate. I'm probably just too old. I've heard only 4 songs from NFR and really dig each one.... and I'm (slightly) older than you ;) Bought the vinyl of NFR as my daughter is a huge LDR fan. We listened to this togethe...

I am really sorry, but - watching the fall out in northern Syria arising from Trump's knee jerk decision to abandon allies and leave them to essentially be slaughtered AND fertilizing the soil for the resurgence of ISIS...what in the actual motherfucking fuck. soon the world will be back dealing wit...

The thing I worry about, is the songs on the new record are likely to have morphed into something different as a result of the continued playing of them live. Such that, I wonder if the recorded versions will pale in comparison to the more evolved versions we have been hearing live over the past sev...

Agree with the Westerberg solo stuff as being underwhelming - I would except Stereo/Mono and Suicaine from that generalization though - Stinson is a freaking beast - Slim's solo stuff ain't half bad either - I like your analytical and writing style brother. Too bad I did not meet you at Lee's a coup...

Y'all are a bunch of articulate insightful motherfuckers! A Bubba/Pearlbeer ticket would add a lot to the American discourse - it sure does in our little tribe.

Fuck Trump!

Insomnia was fabulous - food and staff were top tier - all three nights!

Truth - watching him open for DBT at homecoming a few years back was a revelation. This record is pure beauty

In! :) THIS PLEASES ME! Seriously. Let's break bread when you're in town. Are you around for the show on the 22nd? Yes, in a perfect world my "In" would apply to all shows...what I should have said, was - "In...for 3 nights in Toronto...". The opportunity to break bread will no doubt present itself...

In!

This is a bit of a pipe dream, but one that may be gaining traction. In the interest of an informed decision, have any of y'all ever attended this event? If so, any type of brief commentary would be eagerly received. It appears this is the last year they will be doing the camp out. Many thanks in ad...
