I heard this answer song for the first time yesterday on WFMU:
Tim Heidecker's whole On Cinema/HEI Network story arc ending with him literally running Infowars is just a mind-melting long-term bit. World record stuff.
If they’re still doing Friedbergers-only, that’s accurate. Just piano and vocals.
I like him even more in his Old Coot era.
Best in the biz!
(tbh Benetti/Kruk and even [sigh…] Anthony Rizzo have been pretty entertaining.)
My early season enthusiasm about NBC’s Sunday Night Baseball is being eroded with each Chickfila line dancing commercial.
Pass the word!
I did not know how bad it was going for the Mets until I saw them playing Tommy Pham today. I own a Tommy Pham shirsey and take no pleasure in observing this.
My “Scottsdale is just Naperville in the desert” take fits right in here.
This auction item is crazy. Jerry Weintraub at one point managed both Bob Dylan and Neil Diamond, so he had a reversible satin jacket made that, depending which way you wore it, said "Dylan" or "Diamond" on the back.

It's on the to-do list already, I'll bump it up!
The algorithm took me from AdP to this cool and similarly jam-adjacent band. What's going on in Quebec?
🚨 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
I have a new book coming out on Sept. 8. It's about The Strokes and the evolution (or de-evolution) of rock bands in the 21st century. And you can pre-order it now! If you would like to know more I wrote about it here. tinyurl.com/msvtk5rm
Maybe this leads to the Day of the Dead effect for Phish. Somebody call a Dessner.
If I'm being more precise, it really seems like "prog you can dance to" is ascendant as an indie flavor right now, and that's a pretty accurate description of Phish.

Rare early archival photo of Angine de Poitrine.
I have no idea if Angine de Poitrine improvise, but their music is very "intricate composed part before the jam" coded. They should cover "The Curtain."
That itch has a name, and it's "jambands".
Excited to announce that @mbird.org has a new way to collect donations with zero fees!
We have a $6,000 grant planned for a school music program in need in Vegas if we can raise the funds. Who can help us make this tour grant for the Sphere run a reality?
Even a small donation helps! #phish
But I'm glad the show video confirms my foggy memory of the crazy energy mismatch between Neil and the rest of them on this tour.
So 2000 it hurts.
i thought "ah! a fan-shot video of a complete 2000 CSNY show?" and was not quite prepared for how it opened. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWIP...
The industry plant story about Geese is an industry plant to get everyone to listen to "Taxes" on Tax Day.
You expect Ken to just sit on a blockbuster quote about grit from a longtime assistant college baseball coach?

Oops two days early.
Together? Am I booking tours in my sleep?
