  1. @TheOFFICERBLUE @Spinner Did the bass player ever win that chess game? (Remember that photo in the liner notes to Permission to Land?)
  2. @Spinner Maybe see what they think about the economic situation in Greece, too.
  3. Ooh, promising. MT @listendammit: Lloyd Cole and son William are playing some duo shows, including 2 in Northampton: lstn.dm/KTB3iu
  4. The Sister may be my favorite of @marissanadler's albums so far. (She plays @cafenine 6/2.) Review for @ListenDammit: lstn.dm/KHbikp
  5. Clouds swirling in opposing directions over my house. No big deal, right? Right?
  6. @TheOFFICERBLUE Try Isolation Drills, if you haven't. It's a little less chaotic.
  7. @awphotographs Due June 12.
  8. New Guided By Voices album is 21 songs long, packed into 39 minutes. I love this band.
  9. @MaraLeeCourant Oops, I probably misspelled it. Thanks for reading, though. One more byline to go, and that's that.
  10. @BillMastro @ListenDammit Largely acoustic. Nothing super particularly loud at all, in fact.
  11. @thisbrokenwheel In that I can't find the stream, I may lay out the $5.
  12. @thisbrokenwheel Haven't actually heard it yet, though I'm about to cue up a stream.
  13. Reviewed Sun Kil Moon's latest, excellent album for @ListenDammit: lstn.dm/KEuFei
  14. @JoshRovner Some RARE instances.
  15. @tives It really is. I know some of those @freepress folks. They do good work.
  16. Any media executive who says that "additional operating income would be reinvested into local news" is probably lying. nyti.ms/Jxz3hc
  17. @BenHoleShoe Seems like you're making a pretty big assumption there.
  18. @Klokwize Yep, some freelancing, and my own thing at listendammit.com and ericdanton.com.
  19. @Klokwize Last Friday was my last day at the Courant, but good luck with everything!
  20. @kwtierney Just because they're related doesn't mean they're not snots. #rememberyourteenageyears #ornow
