Strapping on the Gibson I knew Powderfinger was coming, what a perfect song.

Harvest Moon was even more beautiful seeing the loving old couple kiss in the audience and the crowd roared.

I’ve been listening to Neil Young for more than 50 years and I’m sitting here appreciating this so much that it’s making me tear up. How fortunate we are that he’s still performing.

Mellencamp’s band is fantastic and the songs really hold up, but his voice is completely gone.

Books in braille. Who knew. Amazing human being.

Incredibly interesting video that captures just how poorly the current adminstration thought through the Canadian trade war.

Carney: Canada will be opening new international energy markets, strengthening our ties to the EU, and trading our abundant natural resources in a a new agreement with China. Trump: The US will rename a lake.

From that era yes, but the late 80s saw another peak with what became essentially a different song.

Talk about a surefire way to ruin a perfectly good party.

These Nepal videos look like a climate disaster movie that gets panned as “unrealistic”. The worst case scenario predictions are happening.

My prediction is that we will be hearing about generous, selfless, and anonymous charity acts actually performed by Dolly Parton for years to come. That we haven’t even scratched the surface of her lifelong altruism.

Boogie Nights. Macy and Hoffman are wasted in this complete mess with the dreadful Wahlberg taking most of the screen time. The “happy ending” is that they return to their porn producer?

Oh, that guy. He’s all over several audience recordings from this era.

I guess this is a step up from rioting when the pedophile-coddling coach gets fired.

Francis Dunnery had a couple of terrific solo albums in the 90s

But you can fool someone into believing it’s someone else’s fault.

I believe that photo of Ramos is used on his 1967 Venezuelan card.

Vocal Fry Generation has grown up. I heard my first cartoonishly bad vocal fry from a lawyer in a courtroom today.

Let’s be real, the coverage of these publications was driven by soft pay-to-play for at least the last 15 years. Guest list, free downloads, party invites, swag, cool hangs, free drinks, and easy access. “Smaller bands” always needed an inside connection to get covered.

I guess the Blog Era is now officially over.

The Art Whitney Old Judge card is the OG as it were.

She was a huge Jerry Royster fan.

Yeah, Idle milking every last penny out of the Python brand can be off-putting, but he genuinely seems to be a good fellow.

nyctaper @nyctaper.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

He’s been a cranky bigot for years. I don’t think Palin or Idle talk to him any more.

Thanks for the kind words. These KG shows have some amazing memories for me. I had the distinct pleasure of hanging with the band and having some great talks with Stu. Such a great authentic guy. So amazing to see their very much deserved success.

They were definitely traded among the usual suspects. Send me a list of dates and I will let you know.

We’re on vacation with our grown (late 20s) children now and they find it hilariously endearing that mom is still doting on them.

Probably 30 years ago, I traded some of Jeff’s DAT recordings of the Television reunion shows and some Verlaine, but certainly not all of them.

Amazing news. Jeff has a legendary collection.

“Billionaires don’t have enough money to foot the bill” sounds like an Onion headline.

Jesse is one of those people whose love of the subject matter is infectious and whose deep knowledge is always spot on.

I feel like there’s no conversation more boring than having to listen to someone talk about their fantasy baseball team.

Weirdly, I also woke up in the middle of the night with stomach cramps and New Potato Caboose stuck in my head. Alas, the sun did not come up blood red.

Also, the Braves used 12 different starting pitchers that year and were 7 deep.

Aughinish Alumina has been connected to Russian oligarchs for years and this is the first time the government has acknowledged it. They’re also polluting the Shannon, but that is conveniently not mentioned.

West Virginia v BPJ is going to be this Supreme Court’s Dred Scott. It will be a decision that will be an historical permanent stain on the Court.

We all know there is an embryonic “Fire on the Mountain” in the Watkins Glen Soundcheck, but did we also know that there’s an embryonic “Shakedown Street” during the 9/18/74 Playing in the Band jam?

Well for 10 minutes we had both OG and UG.

We got OG and now we have UG.
