The Austin show mentions a "Spotify Presale Code". Anyone know where to get that?

Cooley - Paramount Stateside - 12/1 Normally I keep setlists on my phone, but we had seats right up front and middle. I mean, I could have unplugged his monitors if I wanted to... I was worried about my phone being distracting to Cooley and myself, so hopefully someone else grabbed it. Cooley playe...

I saw DBT at Red Rocks pre-pandemic. I can't remember what year, because time gets really weird for me to measure prior to the lockdown. I recall we had a normal president, and it...yes, must have been 2016. The boys played "The Bitch is Back" I think as kind of a prelude to Hillary getting elected,...

"21st Century USA" was dedicated to me (thank you Patterson!) and "Heathens" was dedicated to Kevin aka Kevidently aka Kevbot. "Shake and Pine" was of course for jimmyc.

I want "Assholes" dedicated to me tonight.

So self-aware!

Tonight! Cooley!

What a loss. I saw Fleetwood Mac's tour a few years ago with Mike Campbell and Neil Finn - it was awesome and Christine sounded great. Always go to the show, I suppose. She will be missed.

Anyone heard anything recently about Fred Eaglesmith? I was playing a song of his I recalled the other day and realized it's been years since I've seen him live. Pre-pandemic, I kind of recall him basically signing up for a life on the road and living on a bus. Looks like he has not played a live sh...

Some great black friday deals over at New West Records

We haven't had a good sports betting convo around here since the days of deedee but I couldn't resist this one, reported to me by my son: The Rhode Island sports book lists Argentina at +500 to win the World Cup. The line for either Argentina or Wales winning the World Cup is +750. Think about it. ...

Now that control of the Senate is a non-issue in Georgia, does Herschel Walker's bid go down in flames because the reality of Walker's lack of qualifications is no longer outweighed by broader concerns, or does the lowered intensity/impact of the race change voters calculations in other as yet unfo...

Good on PA to get it right.

Ohio and Florida are lost causes

and Texas. I give up.

Fuck Elon Musk.

A friend said, “Always go to the show, right?” Yes and no. "Always go to the show means" don’t wimp out if you are holding a ticket and you are tired or work sucks or you don’t want to leave the house. It means, going to the show is important for your soul and I know it’s hard to go from work to a ...

We can't even get wildly popular, bipartisan legislation passed. Seriously - who LIKES turning the clock back?

An anti-Democrat Democrat platform is A-ok with me. IMO after this cycle, anyone over the age of 70 should be booted out of any leadership position. If the message is out of touch, we can start with the ones with mouthfuls of hard candy. My fear with that is that we'd end up with more serious lunat...

My understanding is that he's essentially running as some kind of anti-Democrat Democrat. I would say it speaks volumes about Ohio that JD fucking Vance is very likely to get elected as a Senator from there. An anti-Democrat Democrat platform is A-ok with me. IMO after this cycle, anyone over the a...

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/03/rural-democrats-faltering-wisconsin-00064801 This is depressing to read and even moreso to have lived and witnessed as someone who has lived in rural WI my entire life. This whole change has really accelerated (from my perspective) in the past ~20 years as t...

Apparently everyone is listening to Taylor Swift - snagged all spots on the Billboard Top Ten? Impressive.

For at least a decade, I been waiting, patiently, checking fairly often to see if my favorite punk-rock cover band, Me First and the Gimmie Gimmes are coming to town. I've never seen them live and been a fan for a long, long time. The wait is over. Friday. Friday and the Gimmies. Wow, a blast from ...

Inflation has a large number of driving factors, especially considering the extraordinary times we have lived through during and after the pandemic. ...but...Corporate Profits and Greed ARE quite certainly one of the driving factors. Price gouging at it's finest. We bailed these fuckers out, a numbe...

David Sedaris-Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls

The book is a collection of short, humorous vignettes which are great for a reader with a short attention span such as myself!!!

His new book, Happy Go Lucky is even better IMO.

I know I'm old. And more old fashioned than I like to think of myself. Maybe a bit crazy and not all that smart or probably some combination thereof. Nonetheless, it seems to me that when the economy grows at a 2.6% annual rate while unemployment remains at or near historic lows while the Fed has r...

This is a really interesting and cool quiz that seems pretty accurate to me. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/dialect-quiz-map.html that's pretty good! they gave me Springfield, Worcester and Boston. btw, i think the irish 'ye' for plural you should make a comeback. Sadly, that term ...

Clarence Thomas freezing the order for Lady Graham to testify is a fucking joke. His goddamn wife is testifying about her involvement in the same election related issues. I'd assume recusal is an option here? He's your final evidence if you were wondering if this court is politicized or not. No atte...

You could very easily make the opposing argument here. Truss would never have won an actual general election. She was always an absurd choice. But she became leader of her party and therefore leader of her country anyway. Whatever the limitations of the US system, a President can legitimately claim...

...and a likely historically short tenure for the new PM. Not quite up there with, say, predicting the Mets 1969 World Championship in April of that year, but still, you heard it here first. Could you please predict "reversal of Brexit and final destruction of the conservative party" next? Hey, hey...
