I guess this is as good a place as any to share this cats vs. dogs piece: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/07/31/opinion/cats-vs-dogs.html?unlocked_article_code=1.AE4.1YPr.A85ASJtUUrUu&smid=url-share

If you were to ask GP, he might say: listen to The Mona Lisa's Sister.

Yeah, too bad his genius got cut so short.

The one who might be at Joshua Tree?

I am.

Ahhh yes, the Saratoga Boys. The Figgs actually still tour occasionally.

A great Graham Parker song! When I got home last night I wanted to make sure my memory was working; indeed it was, as Nick had produced both GP's first and third albums, and a song or two on his second one. And who can forget:

It was really great, and even the interviewer (the SNL guy) was good. Me too (Rockpile). Nick did talk a little bit about when he and Dave were doing some Everly Brothers - said they loved to do those harmonies. But he was also a little sad talking about Dave, and what a recluse he is...he misses him. Note the album that EC is holding here... This picture was taken at the classic record store Village Music in Mill Valley - I want to say around 1985, when a friend and I were shopping at Village Music and they happened to pop in. And Wilf... https://berlin.nyc/tm-event/billy-bremners-rockfiles/

Words and Music last night, at National Sawdust, for the Grammy Museum. The GRAMMY Museum presents A New York Evening With Nick Lowe Playing his Ray Whitley guitar (reissue), which he found and purchased after seeing the original at the Country Music Hall of Fame, in Nashville.

What's a podcast?

Paella. Chicken thigh.

Band breakups sometimes are pretty ugly affairs. Declan wrote one, and strangely enough, it was about a bass player!

I haven't tried any of them, but I think you're guess is spot on. But - I don't eat many burgers, in general.

¿Quién es más femenina? Honestly, this could go on for a while.

Probably a few people here who know what this is... The first time I had one of these, a friend had brought me a six-pack, on her visit from London. Then, I'm walking around the neighborhood, and spot this place on Broome Street! https://shieurasia.com/ It was in another (unknown to me) location previously, and now practically around the corner!

Lamb, roasted potatoes and carrots, corn. Yogurt/dill sauce. Pan fried wild striped bass, mashed potatoes, corn. Cole slaw and cucumber salad also.

An amazing work of art for sure.

Indeed, yet every 30-year old in attendance (and there were like 100 of them!) was belting it out!

Let's just say my taste leans a little more Hinds than Charli. Or, I'm not quite as erudite as some.

Of course; it's all been done before, I have no problem with that. And I liked Lily Allen very much. I just found her music to be more approachable for me.

How about the closing song at a recent wedding we attended of nephew and bride (both 30)? Africa.

Yeah, it was pretty crowded today. And great. Also, I hadn't yet been in the the newly renovated/opened European galleries - showing the art off so beautifully.

Finally get up here today, cause I like to wait until a show's final week, for some inane reason.

Singing meaningless songs. though a few of Lily's were actually good.

Wasn’t Lily Allen doing this 20 years ago?
