So we’re in NY for a week to celebrate our anniversary (20 years) and, when we decided on our destination and dates, I joined a waiting list to see Bob Mould. I didn’t really think it would fly , but right after lunch today I received an email with the tickets!
It was fantastic!

Cheers on 20 years. We hit 41 this year. In this day and age, it seems pretty remarkable to find anyone who'll hang out with anyone else more than a few years. Congrats.
Had a busy couple of weeks. My last shows in the US for a minute.
My Morning Jacket - 4/25/25
I was at the first show of the sold out five night hometown run they just had. Great stuff of course! And really cool to see a couple friends of mine in Lacey Guthrie's band open. She came out during MMJ and they did a cover of Berlin's take my breath away. Lots of collaboration with the local openers. Great guys.
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - 5/2/25
Finally the whole band. Almost 5 years after I originally had tickets to them (edit: and 2 yrs since i Saw Nick solo piano). Drove 3.5 hrs to Columbus for this which I don't usually like to do at all. But Incredible. Dude is still such an engaged and wild performer. Some songs went insane live like From Her to Eternity, Tupelo, and White Elephant. The new record isn't my favorite of his, but seeing the songs live helped me appreciate them more.
Fontaines DC - 5/4/25
Had to planned to hit this one up, but several friends were going so grabbed a cheap secondhand ticket last second. Another 3.5 hr drive to Columbus in one weekend. At least I didn't have to drive this time. Anyway, really solid! Listened to their newest record but not much else, and eas still not bored. They sounded really good.
