Since you mentioned the Meat Puppets I just want to say that "Taste of the Sun" is such an unbelievably beautiful song and among my favorite songs by any band ever.What are you looking at for Record Store Day? It always leaves me a bit underwhelmed, but then I think my tastes are a little arcane, but then I think that record buyers tend to have arcane tastes. I mean, are people really buying Destiny's Child records? Or Britney Spears remixes? Or live TOTO records?
I was looking at:
Boys Next Door - Door, Door
Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets 10"
Might look at the Team Dresch comp, Refused radio sessions, and the June of 44 reissues. I have Wipers - Is This Real? and don't really see the difference from the RSD version. I love Bitches Brew, but I don't know about 2 LPs worth of demos for it.
If that doesn't work out, you can always see him at the NVMC farewell concert. Or then later at the NVMC reopening concert.Got tickets to Billy Joel in September at MSG...really hoping it doesn't get postponed. Gift from a business partner, never seen him live.
I'd be shocked if that concert happens.Got tickets to Billy Joel in September at MSG...really hoping it doesn't get postponed. Gift from a business partner, never seen him live.

That's great. I've been saving some vinyl and old audio equipment but decided to sell it all just before C19 hit. When things are lifted I'm going to follow through. The electronics are almost 40 years old and I bought it all new - Mitsubishi power amp and pre-amp/tuner and a pair of Polk Monitor 10s (plus a turntable and some other stuff I've accumulated through the years). IDK if Audio Breakthroughs is still in biz on Rt 110 in Huntington, but this was some of their best stuff that wasn't in the high-end room where they had the Dahlquist speakers, etc.. I guess it was high-end, low-end.Good to see some vinyl in here! Spent a bit of time this quarantine rehabbing my dad's 1981 MCS 6701 turntable, which is a rebranded Technics SL-D5. Despite being locked away in their basement for over 25 years, it didn't need much to become serviceable again - lots of cleaning, a new cartridge, and a quality phono preamp since I didn't already have one.

I think you should go to the Billy Joel concert and skip the wedding. If only to read here what your friend's reaction is when you tell them that you'd rather go to Billy Joel than their wedding.I'd be shocked if they pull that off. We had tickets to Band of Horses rescheduled date down here on 9/26 that was just canceled yesterday. And that was only a 3K person venue.
Oddly we also have Billy Joel tix for 4/17/21 at BofA stadium (original date was 4/16/20) which we now can't use because good friends scheduled their wedding that day down in the keys. Of course AFTER the Ticketbastard refund request window had closed.

Awesome, let me know when you figure it out/pm me with any questions.I might be able to help you out with those extra tix.
Hanging with Shannon and her younger musically talented sister.
I'm ready for the abuse, but I actually like Taylor Swift's new album a lot. A lot different than her previous work. Folksy, chill. Very cool.
SRV vs Jimmy.
