Normalize breweries having an Octoberfest or other fall beers available in April.
Today is apparently a “get to the office and realize you left your computer at home” kind of day.
If you wanna know how well I’m hanging in there after a long week of public radio fund driving.
New episode coming Monday…
“Camera” was the first song played on the house speakers at the end of the Waxahatchee / MJ Lenderman show Tuesday night.
“So. Central Rain” was in the pre-show mix.
Sure... But I bet that show didn't have a bat flying around the stage all night like we got in Asheville.

I unabashedly love Kathleen, and I am so glad she is back.
My wife and I have seen her multiple times.
Kathleen lost to Johnny Cash for Artist & Album of the Year as a brand new artist at the 2003 Americana Awards.
The next year… AMA introduced the Emerging Artist award. I can’t think it was a coincidence.

The kid asked me about Brennen Wedl & Waxahatchee’s cover of Six O’Clock News yesterday.
Today, I’m giving her some Kathleen Edwards immersion.
We must teach our children about the important things.
We have now moved on to "No Diggity."
It is an improvement.
Sitting in a restaurant... earbuds linked to my laptop... trying to do some audio editing...
"Sweet Child O' Mine" is blasting SOOOOO loud in this restaurant that I can barely even hear the sound coming from my earbuds.

Big Ears
I remember they played Big Star’s “Thirteen,” and it was beautiful.
2017.
Jon Dee Graham & Bonnie Whitmore joined me in the WDVX studio.
One of the most fun sessions I’ve ever hosted. Very sad to hear of Jon’s passing.
