    N&G AoTM /// Vol. 66 - December 2024 /// The Tragically Hip – Up To Here

    Millhaven Institution: Millhaven Institution - Wikipedia The song "38 Years Old" by The Tragically Hip refers to an escape from the prison. The opening lines of the song say "12 men broke loose in '73, from Millhaven Maximum Security." There was such an escape in 1972. So, maybe the 1972 from...

    So what are we working with here? Clue 1 and 3 seems to be a Graham reference (capitalized in the file name of the first, Kat Graham in the second). Clue 2 is Chris Evert. Female tennis player. Photo from 1972? Clue 4 and 5 are... Five person bands? (No disrespect intended to the dog in Harry...

    Yes! I love both of these, but am a particularly strong supporter of Stoner, since it seems especially unheralded (maybe a metaphor for Professor Stoner?). I came across that one a few years back (I think Hamilton Leithauser of the Walkmen, of all people, recommended it), and then pushed it on...

    New Music Friday!

    New Deslondes out today too (Roots / Blues / Americana / not sure what we're calling this amalgamation these days). I'm glad apple music reminds me of these things, because I'm way out of touch.

    New Music Friday!

    I actually agree with you but assumed I (we) was (were) in the minority. I came to Wednesday through MJ's solo stuff. I'm going into the new album 100% blind, because I'm a weirdo who tries to not listen to advanced singles.

    I've got a few more, still going pretty slowly here! 7. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. Well... my 13 year old read this, and she asked me to read it so that we could have a mini book club. How could I resist? In case she ever comes across this, I will say that it's a book and that I...
