I took my daughter to Courtney Barnett a couple months ago. She continues to impress me. She's remarkable live; amazing sound from a three-person band.
The Killers the other night were interesting. Better show than I would've thought, much more audience enthusiasm than I anticipated, and a stunning realisation that Brandon Flowers has adopted some remarkable Neil Diamond-like vocal stylings. I've never been enthusiastic about them but I've loved "All the Things that I've Done."
I went to see Johnny Marr, one of my favorite guitarists, open for them. He was lackluster, but he can still play. Going to see Echo and the Bunnymen Saturday--one of my favorite New Wave bands, who I never thought would tour again. Next month I'm driving to Albuquerque to see Thee Oh Sees because John Dwyer is an amazing guitarist and I'll probably never have another chance to see him. Then I'm taking Sheryl to see Scott Bradley's Post-Modern Jukebox in Grand Junction: modern hits, ragtime style. Some of their covers are truly inspired.
I think all the bands got broke during the pandemic.
Man, quite the lineup. Courtney Barnett is on my bucket list but the odds of her stopping here aren't great. Maybe on her way home one day. I assume nobody made her an offer, or at any rate a decent one.
I like Thee Oh Sees. Ambivalent about The Killers, but a bunch of people have told me Neil Diamond was a fabulous show. Concerts have been in short supply for me, but I do get to go take pictures of the Stylistics and some openers tonight.
Echo and the Bunnymen was good. Mccullough's voice was tired, but seems more from touring than age, and he was going to some lengths to keep pounding them out.
Barnett would, I'm sure, stop by for a show. It's a great business write-off that conveniently locates you in one of the most beautiful areas in the world, and she'll be going that way anyway...
Spoon and Barnett have been the two best so far. I won't be able to keep it up at this rate--not enough sleep, too much driving, too much to do. But it's been a lot of fun, and I did get to take an overpriced shirt home with me last night. The audience was mostly people around my age, with a few younger (probably their kids?). That was interesting and a little inspiring to see all those old people singing along and dancing in their age-congruent, but sincere, shuffley manner.
Stylistics sounds wonderful. I look forward to seeing some shots, if that's permissible.

Definitely permissible, if I can find some decent ones. Not a good night on my part.
It’s mind-numbing.
Thanks for the humorous, Light treasons. GB makes my tv-watching worthwhile.
Thanks, Carmen. I'm pleased you liked it. Remember to vote Yes on the Equal Time Amendment.
Wouldn’t miss it.
Beautious concept after Time Tunnel Review of our past presidents.
