    @Mather yes! I’m in Toronto 6/27-6/30. And Lord Huron now has an opener listed for their 6/27 show so, even though my flight lands at 7pm that night and the show starts at 8pm, i think I have a good chance to see most of the headlining set.

    Upcoming/Recent Shows

    Saw Dead and Company at Jiffy Lube Live last night in VA. I’d never been to that venue before and neither had my friend. He picked me up at 4:45pm in Rosslyn. He had cued up a live recording of the Radiohead show in DC from June 3, 2012 [11 years ago, to the day], which both of us attended...

    Upcoming/Recent Shows

    Just a brief catch-up post on 4 great shows (all at the 9:30 club) since I've been MIA from this thread: May 12 - Feist was fantastic. Amazing vocal control. Not sure how similar this was to other shows on this tour but it was a very interactive performance. I'll put the rest behind a...

    Seconding @TenderLovingKiller® 's recommendation of Road to Perdition (it's R, so you might want to watch it first). It's a great movie, especially about fathers and sons, and happens to be set and filmed in Chicago. Sam Mendes directed Paul Newman, Tom Hanks, Jude Law, Daniel Craig, Stanley...

    I went to a meet & greet with Mumford and Sons back in 2010 and they told me about the movie "Looking For Eric" in which Eric Cantona plays his own ghost who gives advice to one of his big fans. They thought I should watch it since my name is Eric (and it had recently been released). It was a...

    The number of people I've met in the DC area with lyme disease is truly alarming - as is the number of folks who had undiagnosed "chronic illness", or improperly diagnosed lupus or POTS etc, that ended up actually being lyme disease.

    They're still around and play a lot of shows in DC. They played a beer festival I went to recently here and it was so much fun.

    Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 47 - May 2023 /// Ages and Ages "Me You They We"

    Questions 10-12 (from me) 10) What are your favorite things about Portland? A&A: Portland has changed a lot, mostly because a tv show was made about it and then a bunch of people starting moving here and everyone got priced out. BUT. I love the food culture and the proximity to the mountains...

    Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 47 - May 2023 /// Ages and Ages "Me You They We"

    Questions 8 and 9 (from me) 8) Who drew the album artwork and what does the skeleton represent? A&A: His name is Nick Jones. We met him through music, he played in a band called Wild Reeds. He also did a lot of artwork for the singles we released leading up to record release (you can see all...

    Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 47 - May 2023 /// Ages and Ages "Me You They We"

    Questions 6 and 7 A&A: Too many to tell. See the bands listed in question 4 for more “modern” examples. But I’ve loved everything from the Beatles to Black Sabath, The Cure to Tribe Called Quest and Gang Star and Eric B and Rakim. Everything from Velvet Underground, Stooges, Modern Lovers, and...

    Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 47 - May 2023 /// Ages and Ages "Me You They We"

    Questions #3-5 A&A: At first, our band was a lot more vocal driven. I would come with a demo and I’d function more as a “choir director,” assigning harmonies and we’d try to perfect them as we went. As our tastes and membership shifted over the years, it became more about creating harmonies...

    WRASSLIN'! (let's talk wrestling here?)

    The Roderick Strong vs Chris Jericho falls count anywhere match in Austin during AEW Dynamite on 5/17 was probably the most fun match I've seen so far. I can't believe how close people get to the action while these dudes are clobbering each other, though, haha.
