Neil Young, The Fall, Drive-By Truckers, The Clash

Uin, saunon, matkustan, kuuntelen musaa, käyn keikoilla, luen, pääasiassa velttoilen. Joo ja tuo futis. Turkulainen, muuten terve.
My first encounter with Neil Young’s music. It was my older brother’s, and I listened to it secretly. Slowly but surely, I fell in love with the music. And still today, my dearest Neil Young album.

Happy Birthday, Neil!

I picked up another book at the local library. The wonderful and frightening world of The Fall.

My local library has a sweet selection of books about The Fall.

I kicked things off with Steve Hanley’s story - super fun read!

Now playing:

Drive-By Truckers: First Air of Autumn

”First air of autumn up your nose
popcorn, heavy hairspray, nylon pantyhose
please stand and bow your heads and pray you don’t get old”

Great vibes!

The Felice Brothers at Whelan’s in Dublin 2022.

During the gig, my wife started to cry. I asked ’What’s wrong?’. She replied ’I’ve heard this song on our couch through the stereo, and now the band is playing it here. The song was ’Valium’.

On muuten komeita nuo Drive-By Truckersien keikkajulisteet. Mulla kymmenkunta eri kehystettyinä seinällä. Wes Freed taiteilijana. Tässä yks hieno juliste kuvassa. Mut nuo keikat peruttiin, koska tuli koronapandemia.
