This looks like a nice treat for Paul Westerberg fans. Bonus if you are also a Monkees fan. Nice to see some of the brilliance from 49.00 get a new life.

weird for this to come up the day after seeing Wilco for the first time in 20 years.

Amazing show by Wilco last night at the terrific Thompson’s Point venue in Portland, Maine. Pregame beers at Bissell Brothers a good bonus. Best concert I’ve seen in years.

40 years ago tonight I saw this, my first Replacements show at The Channel in Boston. One of the last shows with Bob Stinson, the band was pretty drunk and the set was more than half covers, including a half dozen with the legendary Barrence Whitfield joining them for some craziness at the end.

Just received the #ibpabookaward that I won for book interior design last month. What a beautiful award. Thanks @ibpa.bsky.social for the honor. This is going on the mantel.

This is my life:

Beautiful night at Fenway

Hey @jtkantor.bsky.social, How about some Skyway by The Replacements? Probably the most Minnesota-specific song from my favorite Minnesota band.

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

Put this together for the upcoming 40th anniversary of my first Replacements show at The Channel in Boston. Have been a superfan ever since. One of Bob Stinson's last shows featuring 19 covers, including 6 with local legend Barrence Whitfield who joined them at the end. Song list in the description.

Guy’s gonna have a reality show soon:

Marblehead's gonna Marblehead

Putting on the Red Sox.

Found the handwritten setlist I made following Paul Westerberg's surprise club show in Cambridge, MA in 1993, and entered it here in Setlist. Pretty sure this was Paul's very first post-Replacements show—pretty amazing to be at.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Not quite the same without Adam, but great seeing Fountains of Wayne again tonight in Boston as part of the Hot Stove, Cool Music event youtu.be/jaStCkSVTVE?...

Apparently everyone I follow in Minnesota is at the Springsteen show tonight.

Probably THE song that originally cemented my lifelong love of and obsession with this band.

Another great Old 97s show in Boston last night. My fifth, I think, not counting a few Rhett solo shows. Band always brings it.

And playing right here in my little hometown!

Question for @porpster.bsky.social or #AT40 fans. I have reel-to-reel tapes of Casey's year-end countdowns from 1974-1984. Even have the old Magnavox deck I taped them on, though doubt it still works. I assume these all exist online now, so just wondering if there's any value in keeping them?

The things you find when decluttering. I actually went and bought all the New York tabloids to revel in the Yankees misery after the Red Sox beat them in 2004.

Anybody else read ”Graham Parker” every time they see “Graham Planter”?

Only way I can possibly watch this.

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

what do i do when YouTube is down and that’s pretty much all i watch?

Yippee (said sarcastically) looks like we got the jackpot for new snow a week after the last two foot storm. I'm long past the age where I enjoy snow anywhere but in the mountains.

"'She put her finger right between my booty crack, so I grabbed her wrist quick and said, Hold up, slut, ain't nobody sticking nothing in my butt.' You think that's Kid Rock or Bad Bunny?" "Why are you doing this to me?" @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on The Bulwark Pod:

Sad news. Saw Lynn and even chatted briefly with her at a Salt Collective show last year.

Reminds me that when Rhett Miller of Old 97s riffed off of Desolation Row, he got Dylan's permission and gave him a co-writing credit.

Guess I'm not the first to notice how much the Springsteen song sounds like Desolation Row.

HAPPY BOSTON MOONINITE PANIC DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

I can barely stand any of the cable news channels any more, and long ago stopped watching the network news. But I could watch these three all day.

“You stole a fucking flower from a dead woman. Like, are any of you human anymore?”👇

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

George Cabot Lodge, who unlike four of his ancestors lost in his attempt to gain a Massachusetts seat in the U.S. Senate, enabling a member of a rival dynasty, Edward Kennedy, to begin a five-decade congressional career, died this month. He was 98.

I realize Bluesky is not a hotbed of New England Patriots fandom, but whoo-hoo we’re going back to the Super Bowl!!

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

My Congressman

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Why is @ms.now reading DHS propaganda (lies)?

❤️ Minneapolis

I’ve long been inspired by people from Minnesota (Bob Dylan, Paul Westerberg, and Prince to name a few) but now am inspired by the whole damn state.

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

Just flipped on Stop Making Sense as David Byrne sings "Our President's crazy, did you hear what he said?" (from Making Flippy Floppy). Think he was way ahead of his time.

This is incredible!

Punk rock kid buskers (‘The Whops’, tiktok) near the Edgware Rd. They run into Paul Simonon, play Death or Glory for him. He asks if they know The Guns of Brixton. They do -

Oddly the last two music posts are sort of related because the same long lost former roommate who turned me on to the Grateful Dead also turned me on to the Replacements.

Happy 40th anniversary to this classic SNL performance by the Replacements. Don’t think I saw it live—it would be another couple months before i caught onto them, and exactly 6 months before I saw them myself at the Channel in Boston. But I have probably watched this clip 50 times since.
