I love the commercial with the father and daughter going to the Mets game with the Bee Gees' 'To Love Somebody' playing in the background...at least until the Facebook Groups logo pops up at the end. Damn you Zuckerberg!
Not sure how far outside of the region they reached, but, if there are any What Made Milwaukee Famous fans, they are doing a 15th anniversary limited edition vinyl release of their debut album, "Trying To Never Catch Up". More details in next post.
I signed up for that Okkervil River subscription deal a few months back. I had already received the initial package of stuff, and I've been downloading the monthly live releases. However, today the lyrics for my selected song, 'Plus Ones', arrived. Gotta say, this is pretty cool to have.
First 4 songs I heard this morning: Dr. John's 'Goin' Back To New Orleans'; Erika Wennerstrom's cover of Townes' 'Be Here To Love Me'; Leonard Cohen's 'Bird On A Wire'; and Cults' 'High Road'. Public radio doing its thing.
That FKA Twigs short film, "Practice", is pretty impressive stuff. A behind the scenes look at the physical and mental preparation done in advance of the filming of her recent video.
Man, the trailer for that Rolling Thunder Revue doc on Netflix is so good. I was excited for it before, but now I don't know if I can wait another 10 days or so. 70's Dylan is my favorite Dylan, and that tour has always had this air of mystery about it for me.
Man, Lee Fields has energy for days. Helluva performer, with a white hot, locked in band behind him. And there aren't many men that can legitimately get away with rocking white dress pants and white shoes.
I know the real life stuff behind the song is serious business, but, “Why do you sing with an English accent, I guess it’s too late to change it now” always cracks me up.
