Coming to or around Detroit in the next few months - Khruangbin, War on Drugs, BBNG, Courtney Barnett, Shakey Graves, All Them Witches, Monophonics. I have to catch at least a couple of these...still haven't been to a show since Feb of 2020.
No recent pre-orders placed, no records on the porch in the last few weeks, no trips to any of my locals in months. I'm not even in the monthly spin challenge. Just not feeling it lately...it happens, right? Vinyl diet?
My next door neighbors are having their roof re-done today. The work crew is totally getting down on some weed on their breaks…not that I mind, smells like killer bud, but I can’t help but wonder if the homeowners would mind.
I don't spin new records until I've cleaned them...and I don't do a cleaning sesh (SpinClean) until I have at least 10 to do. I've been buying so little recently, it might be another month before I listen to stuff I got like two weeks ago. Is anyone else like this?
Crap. A skunk has moved into the abandoned tool shed in the corner of my yard. He's been out there crawling around the ivy for about 30 minutes now. This is new. Can anyone vouch for any natural repellants?
Any Chicago area folks around? How bad is Chicago traffic on a Saturday morning? We are driving to Montana in August. I have two routes I can go from Detroit area - straight north, over the Mac bridge and then west, or loop around Chicago to Minneapolis and west.
