Has any jam band besides Phish covered a Neil Diamond song? For instance there havenโ€™t been any Love on the Rocks jams with multiple peaks.

These Lindor chocolates commercials are really well done.

After watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit as an adult I get all the political subplots but I also found that the Lena Hyena scene is one of funniest scenes.

#NowWatching True Romance. I have been listening to the โ€œyouโ€™re so coolโ€ so much time for a rewatch.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Papyrus bookmark that hieroglyphs say โ€œTJโ€

Papyrus bookmark that hieroglyphs say โ€œTJโ€

I got this in Cairo. Itโ€™s made out of Papyrus. Itโ€™s says TJ in Hieroglyphics in retrospect I should have gotten one that said Knower to match my chop sticks from Japan.

We live in a world where you need to get customer service to unlock laxatives.

Second set was great I mean This Stupid World > Tony Orlando > From
A Motel 6. Rock and Roll. Shredding.
Then for the encore all of Wilco comes out for 4 songs. My mind was repeatedly getting blown. Then my head would regrow and great re blown. It was like Tony Shalhoubโ€™s
Character in MIB.

โ€ฆthe bartender complimented me on the shirt. It was a sold out show. Everyone was over the moon to be there. Probably best crowd I have seen at a YLT show.
During the show they did a cover of Wilcoโ€™s โ€œIf I ever was a childโ€. Mind was already blown. 4 songs inโ€ฆ

My favorite Yo La Tengo concert story is when I saw them in 2023 at the Metro. It was in between the Wilco 3 night run at the Riv. (I wore my Yo La Tengo shirts to those shows)
So I got in early to show at the Metro. Probably got a Red Bull or a water. I was wearing a Wilco shirtโ€ฆ

#NowPlaying Moby Octopad by Yo La Tengo. Very recognizable bass line, if you know the song. That is.

So Iโ€™m 30 pages into The Watchmen. Rorschach says โ€œHurmโ€ a lot. Didnโ€™t know it was a word until 20 minutes ago.

It must be the greatest hits of Yo La Tengo. Because now theyโ€™re playing Letโ€™s Save Tony Orlandoโ€™s House. Which is off the banger And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out.

#NowPlaying Stockholm Syndrome by Yo La Tengo. This is probably the song that got me hooked in my older years. I know back in the Record Store Days I owned โ€œI Can Hear The Heart Beating As Oneโ€
But didnโ€™t really get it until I saw them at Out of Space many years ago.

#NowPlaying Babyโ€™s Arms by Kurt Vile. Great music selection today. Seeing him at the Old Town in few weeks.

Itโ€™s right where Gather use to be. By the old town school.

Sounds like Fade is the Que at the coffee shop. Walked into Iโ€™ll be Around.

Do we really need a The Lost Boys musical? Come on.

A Dumpling a house is opening up pretty soon in Lincoln Square. Thatโ€™s gonna be delicious. Canโ€™t waitโ€ฆbut have to. Itโ€™s like Task.

They should make a Black Mirror episode where the person has to login to several apps every minute or so continuously using multiple 2faโ€™s and eventually loses their mind.

So I heard the other day if you have an anxiety attack and it lasts a few days to just ignore it. Itโ€™s kind of like what Josh Nash did. Just keep that in mind next you have one that lasts more than a day.

For those inquiring minds:
The transition from Concessions into Iโ€™d really love to see you tonight doesnโ€™t work. Itโ€™s too bad.

Happy Birthday Nicholas Van Orton. Your brother really gave you a life changing gift didnโ€™t he?

Whoa. That John Candy documentary was heavy. Please watch it. Colin Hanks did a fantastic job.

20 minutes into this documentary and I feel like John Candy is my best friend
