Today’s events (and @themountaingoats.bsky.social) inspired me.
I’ve never written even a little bit of a song before. But here’s a little bit.

It is a tradition to show the Brits the worst version of football possible. And we’re up early to see it.

“Going to Princeton” makes a case for best @themountaingoats.bsky.social album. Not just best live album either.
The mastering and pressing are fantastic. The energy comes through the recordings. The setlist will please just about any fan, new and old. Vibrant versions of old favs.

A year ago, I had to give up 2nd row tickets to Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings at a tiny venue because it was the same night as my foot surgery.
A year later, I’m not quite as close and in a much bigger venue (the lovely Auditorium Theater), but I get to see my favs.
Also, 9.2/10 Best New Merch

Kicking it off with the all-star Luke Stewart Chicago Quartet at Constellation.

How about one more from that Expansion Trio set? Looking back at the videos, it doesn’t do it justice. There was a moment to open a song where Jeff set a rhythm and then it shifted to Jeremiah’s synths seamlessly and the whole crowd went “OOOOOOHHHH!!!” It was so cool @intlanthem.bsky.social

No better way to end this particular week than with Irreversible Entanglements. Moor Mother’s voice is vital in these times.

And here’s part of the stunning Expansion Trio set with Jeff Parker, Jeremiah Chiu, and Ben Lumsdaine. They hit a groove that released me. Everyone will be talking about this one. I can only hope someone recorded it @intlanthem.bsky.social
