I've been a big Malkmus guy for a while, and I count Pavement as one of my favorite bands.  I'm excited that he is working with Matt Sweeney from Chavez and starting this new group

 

I just got back from the free Everclear show in Pennsauken.  Art Alexis, in real life, seemed like the kind of guy you'd want to high five and throw your arms around.  He's full of gratitude and sober for many years after all that he went through.  Everclear's hits still hold up as some of the best of their era.  Also, they did a good cover of "Molly's Lips" by the Vaselines, which was also covered by Nirvana at one time too!

 I had a strange revelation in the middle of the night last night.  I need a Lemonheads shirt.

 I got my first letter of recommendation request this week. I will gladly be recommending my friend and trainee, Ms. Rivas, who was excellent in my time working with her.  

Let's just put it this way.  Kamala Harris gets Bon Iver to perform on her campaign trail, and Trump gets Kid Rock.  I think that says a lot.
