A cool sarsaparilla on a hot summer's day. Architect, reader, listener, time waster. Mostly blue skying these days outside of a few likes and replies.

@BobMehr I’ve loved all of @Rhino_Records deluxe editions of Replacements albums, but maybe due to ‘Tim’ and its songs resonating in place and time in my music universe, this one is at another level. Looking forward to deeper dives through the weekend!

The booklet is like having a super deluxe edition of ‘Trouble Boys’ @BobMehr ‘s incredible Replacements biography.

This album meant a lot to me in 1985. The songs—at least five of which are 10/10s—have always been great. But the new Ed Stasium mix is revelatory, with both new and unburied original elements loud and clear and crunchy.

Hi. Like a lot of people I haven’t been posting here much. But here is something that I couldn’t contain myself about, and it’s one of the best new versions of old music ever: The Replacements ‘Tim’ in its Let It Bleed deluxe edition.

Thank you Robbie Robertson for writing great songs for Levon, Rick and Richard to sing.

Happy 50th (!!) to an album that will forever be among my favorite records of all time.

This 2023 White Sox season already stretching into 2024. Wow. Really wishing the best for Liam. Which probably means not pitching for the White Sox ever again.
Chicago #WhiteSox closer Liam Hendriks underwent successful surgery this morning to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow in a procedure performed by Dr. Keith Meister at TMI Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Surgery in Arlington, Texas.

I wish I had a longer horizon and didn’t have so much concrete infrastructure in front of me, because the moon tonight is insane.

I wouldn’t want an R.E.M. reunion and this was a wonderful way to celebrate 40 years (!!!) of ‘Murmur’ and Metro. I love you, music.

So we got all of ‘Murmur’ and ‘Chronic Town’, plus There She Goes Again, Harborcoat, Letter Never Sent, Pretty Persuasion, Crazy and an incredible These Days to close.

Scott Lucas does a lovely “Swan Swan H” with Mike Mills and then burns the house down with a three guitar “Oddfellows Local 151”

I was wondering if any R.E.M. would be there and Mike Mills shows up for “Shaking Through”.

I thought this would be a fun night out: Michael Shannon singing R.E.M.’s ‘Murmur’ with a band led by Jason Narducy and Jon Wurster playing Bill Berry. And it far exceeded my wildest expectations.

A fixture on my CD boombox in grad school. 33 years on, there haven’t been many albums or many artists as individual or brave since. Peace, Sinead.

Although I didn't tweet it out in real time, I liked P4k day one a lot. Grace Ives, Alvvays and especially Jlin, Perfume Genius and The Smile were all great.
