The Swamp

"He should be writing for Pitchfork, man."

J. Mascis cancels the show because of “health issues”.

That’s a bummer man. Sorry.

It sucked, but I still drove up anyway and hung w my buddy and his family for a day and a night. Weed was smoked and vodka was imbibed. Enjoyable visit and if the show gets rescheduled, I get to go back up there.

Seeing The Feelies tonight at the Ottobar here in Baltimore.

Giddy-up!

They’re from this area and still do some local shows from what I’ve heard. Haven’t seen them yet.

Gonna do a rare sports/concert doubleheader, hitting the USL opener for LV Lights FC and then Better Oblivion Community Center (Conor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers). Pretty excited about the BOCC show because their album is pretty awesome and this is specifically the kind of show we rarely get in Vegas.

So jealous of the BOCC. Listened to that many times this week. That, and boygenius.

Interesting(?) that Bridgers is with Oberst and Oberst had a pretty prominent false accusation in the past.

Stupidest band name ever

Metric on Sunday also, but I just saw them a few months ago and I can't hang with the young go-hards anymore.

Seeing Jungle tonight...should be fun...

She was also part of the Ryan Adams allegations.

That’s why it’s intetesting Jesus Christ are people missing my posts today.

In the spring training of life, I guess you’re a pitcher and not a hitter. Which beats being a catcher, amirite!!?!??

BOCC came on stage to Outfit by Isbell/DBT.

Maybe boygenius are joining Amanda Shires Americana supergroup!

The BOCC show was astounding. For their second show ever (they said -- I didn't look at the itinerary but if they started in LA in makes sense) it was really, really tight and awesome. Played the entire album and sprinkled in a couple of Bright Eyes songs and a couple of her songs as well as a cover of "Can't Hardly Wait" since they said the song "Chesapeake" has a reference to it.

In a different country, should be one of the biggest acts around. Phoebe Bridgers does a really good job of restraining Oberst's worst self-indulgent impulses. And not to sound like a weirdo, but I was really unprepared for how attractive she is in person.

She's startlingly attractive.

Avetts last night. The Beths today. Meet two of the Beths after the show. So great.

Justin Timberlake tonight weeeeeeeee

Weezer and Pixies last night.

Took me down memory lane. 5 songs off Blue, 2 from Pinkerton, and 2 from Green. That covered half the set list.

Was the other half covers and then a stream of consciousness "rap" about what audience members were wearing?

The did play 5 off Teal and one cover not on any of their albums. So yeah, pretty close. The "rap" was from Pat about the weather. Something about rain, snow, then rain again in Grand Rapids.

Wait ... they really do a rap? I was 100% being sarcastic there.

They all did an ad-lib verse to Pork and Beans, and since Pat doesn't really sing, it was more of a rap.

I don't want to hear about Weezer any more.

Go home Leslie.

Think this is the year I finally buy Psycho Fest tickets.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Deafheaven and Black Angels are definitely acts I love and fit in perfectly into the theme. There's some other lower-billed acts like Tobacco, Black Mountain and Soft Kill that I like as well.

(Now just wish it wasn't $300 for the weekend.)

The GF and I, along with 4 other couples, bought tix to see the Stones in May.



What are the chances that all 10 of us will be free on whatever the newly scheduled date is?

What are the chances that the Stones even tour again?

Story I saw said he was expected to make a full recovery and be able to tour.

Hey man, you can't always get what you want. Hopefully you can take some small satisfaction in the fact that it's only rock and roll.

Sorry. That was dumb. It's all over now.
