Good to see Rateliff and the Nightsweats are still at it.

Me too, David! As you know, they were kinda blowing up 4-5 years ago and not much from them since (even though Nathaniel put out solo stuff) but I'm really psyched to know they're back at it. I hope they'll do another tour this year after the album release. (I'm sure they will.)

Happy birthday to Zappagram! Nice work, Chris!!

P. S. Not for nothing, the new PJ record is pretty good. Their best since Vs., IMO.

Thanks, Kevin! I just listened to the new PJ last night, and while I've generally been kinda "meh" on them, I do think it's a really solid album.

Tom Waits is the one act I would pay a lot of money to see live.

Same here, Brad. I think Tom's 73 now and I hope he'll do one more tour before he decides to call it quits.

100% agree. I played that first album sooo many times between 2015-2017. Every Friday and Saturday night it played in my home at least once. Usually more. It's one of my all-time favorites!

I wonder if Sade was anticipating a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nod, which didn't happen this time around. Love her music but not sure she's going to get in all that quickly!

Love me some Crowded House, love those Finn Bros! Woodface is one in my favs, along with Temple of Low Men!

I thank the Campbell Brothers for introducing me to Crowded House back in 1987!

Yes to Crowded House and the Finn bros! I’ve been a fan since they came on the scene in…what was it ‘87? Love Neil’s solo albums too.
