With a few exceptions, I've pretty much been alternating between ABBA and Elliott Smith for the past week, which, is kind of the musical equivalent of Elvis' self medication routine (uppers...downers...repeat).

Been listening to A LOT of Elliott Smith over the past month. I’m doing fine, why do you ask?
Some people get excited this time of year because all of the pumpkin spice stuff returns. Some like this time of year because cooler weather is (hopefully) around the corner. Me? I'm excited because it is that special time of year where @Lee Newman hands out "likes" to all the children of the world.
Coco Gauff's matches are so much fun to watch. Looking forward to watching her for years to come, particularly at the U.S. Open. She's a perfect fit in that setting.
Black Pumas Austin City Limits episode taping is streaming tonight beginning at 8:00 CDT.
All alone in the office this afternoon, suffering from allergies, and listening to ABBA. Mama said there'd be days like this.
Is there a dignified way to eat trail mix?
Pretty sure I won't be seeing Black Pumas in as intimate a venue next time they roll through town.
Black Pumas tonight! It’s The first of their 3 sold out nights at The Mohawk. Gonna be a hot one though.
Details on the first ever vinyl pressing of Alejandro Escovedo's "With These Hands" in next post.
Haven't felt great for about a week. Stupid allergy/chest cold nonsense. But I'll be damned if I'm going to miss the Elliott Smith birthday tribute show tomorrow night.
Bought that new Spoon Best-Of primarily for the rad cover photo. I can't quibble with the 12 classics and 1 new track included, and I get what they were going for here, based on interviews with Britt. That said, my favorites playlist is sitting at 44 tracks. 13 still feels pretty slight.
Finally found a great used copy of "Rain Dogs" in the wild. Only good thing to happen this week.
Zero Days of Peace and Music. Woodstock 50 is officially, finally, cancelled. I'd say this is peak 2019, but, we all know that would be a lie. Still 5 more months to go.
@Lee Newman out here dispensing "Likes" like he's Oprah Winfrey.
Another new Sleater-Kinney song. I actually kind of like this one. Reminds me of the modern take on 60's girl group tunes that Sweet Spirit does.
Aaaand, now they've just announced they are no longer live streaming the Lucy Dacus Austin City Limits taping. FML.
Dammit! Julien Baker isn't going to be able to perform tomorrow night, so the entire show with Lucy Dacus at The Paramount has been cancelled. They are still doing Lucy's Austin City Limits taping this evening at 8:00 CDT though.
A little shameless promotion for my playlist entry for the Mixtape Madness thread. Check it out if you're on Spotify and into that sort of thing. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5RfgpGAzI1hqvuMLtgbBXo?si=dOPviAEETkmdUVCTfkU07g
