Jay Farrar

Moe Tucker - the Jesus and Mary Chain

I gave it a listen and Devil May Care initially jumped out at me. I love Jay but will forever judge him against his past work. Right or wrong I dont have a clue. Songs like Fifteen Keys and Cemetary Savior are so hard to top. Have you listened to Hanging On To You recently? Bet it breaks your heart....

I think I am just like you now Doug. Early bedtimes, craft beer and even some Futbol. Oh and some grey hairs.

Very cool. I did not hear about that show. And no I was not aware of them when they were at their peak. I just got into in past 10 years. Same with Joy Division.

Doug, I cannot even imagine what that pain is like. I gotta say it seems like it would be hard to recover from and the best one could do is just try and cope. My best to you and Elizabeth and your other daughter. I get out to maybe one or two shows a year. Damn near impossible if it is a weeknight. ...

Ceremony - New Order

Howdy folks! Good to see some old names. DC, so very sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. I am still doing whatever the hell it is I do here in FL. I don’t really get out to many shows l, but still listen to too much music. We try to travel when we can, but that has even become challenging...

Thanks for sharing this. Two of my favorite musicians and I did not even know this existed. I don’t think people even know how much shit Sweeney has done whether its Zwan or Chavez, SuperWolf or producing that great Dax Riggs record and so many many more. Plus he has played guitar with everyone from...

Great fucking read. If you like Tweedy or Jay or UT or music in general. Also the new Tweedy solo is pretty fantastic. Kinda want to go back and listen to some of the last few Wilco’s that I found less than stellar.

Christmas In Nightmare City -Advance Base

I am pretty excited about this book. He is an intersting dude and his musical output up to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is outstanding. Washe/Is he always perfect? Were any of us?

Great song. Love the Live version on the Bottom Line release.

Dude I agree. I love all the bands you mentioned but Wilco’s 3rd record, Summerteeth, is their best. Maybe the best record of the 90s.

Ty Segall - 'Freedom's Goblin' VERY highly recommended. From fuzz and hooks to unbelievably beautiful melodies, this is rock and roll. Listen to "My Lady's on Fire" and tell me John Lennon isn't wishing from the grave that he'd written this one. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4648/26210240998_cb860...

Pretty excited about that Ben Kweller Sha Sha on vinyl as part of RSD.
