Every time I see something about the band PUP, my brain reads PULP, and I get very excited that there is news about PULP. I'll have to check PUP out, but I also wouldn't mind hearing something new from Jarvis and/or PULP.
Digging into this debut album from Lola Tried after enjoying the hell out of their set on Saturday opening for Cruiserweight. Just the shot of adrenaline needed on a Monday. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but tons of potential for this group.
Great show featuring local artists tonight. A Cruiserweight reunion show with Lola Tried and Quiet Company as openers. All 3 bands brought it. Wasn't sure what to expect from Cruiserweight as they've been dormant for a while now, but they sounded great.
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.
