Hi. Like a lot of people I haven’t been posting here much. But here is something that I couldn’t contain myself about, and it’s one of the best new versions of old music ever: The Replacements ‘Tim’ in its Let It Bleed deluxe edition.

I’ve loved all of @Rhino_Records deluxe editions of Replacements albums, but maybe due to ‘Tim’ and its songs resonating in place and time in my music universe, this one is at another level. Looking forward to deeper dives through the weekend!

Happy 50th (!!) to an album that will forever be among my favorite records of all time.

This 2023 White Sox season already stretching into 2024. Wow. Really wishing the best for Liam. Which probably means not pitching for the White Sox ever again.
Chicago #WhiteSox closer Liam Hendriks underwent successful surgery this morning to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow in a procedure performed by Dr. Keith Meister at TMI Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Surgery in Arlington, Texas.

I wish I had a longer horizon and didn’t have so much concrete infrastructure in front of me, because the moon tonight is insane.

I thought this would be a fun night out: Michael Shannon singing R.E.M.’s ‘Murmur’ with a band led by Jason Narducy and Jon Wurster playing Bill Berry. And it far exceeded my wildest expectations.

So we got all of ‘Murmur’ and ‘Chronic Town’, plus There She Goes Again, Harborcoat, Letter Never Sent, Pretty Persuasion, Crazy and an incredible These Days to close.

I wouldn’t want an R.E.M. reunion and this was a wonderful way to celebrate 40 years (!!!) of ‘Murmur’ and Metro. I love you, music.

A fixture on my CD boombox in grad school. 33 years on, there haven’t been many albums or many artists as individual or brave since. Peace, Sinead.

I knew I was going to miss 4 or 5 hours of Pitchfork Fest today due to a conflict with a professional conference, but the weather evacuation is making it easier than expected to stay home.

Although I didn't tweet it out in real time, I liked P4k day one a lot. Grace Ives, Alvvays and especially Jlin, Perfume Genius and The Smile were all great.
