Aha, I guess "Alias Smith and Jones" is the reference point for the Silver Jews song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alias_Smith_and_Jones

Is there any connection whatsoever between the Silver Jews song, "Smith and Jones," and "Smithers-Jones" by The Jam?

I'm feeling mighty uninspired by the latest Dead box set. They need to do multi-year sets like PNW, Listen to the River, and In and Out of the Garden.

Here's BASIC live at the Seuffert Bandshell in Forest Park! https://www.nyctaper.com/2024/09/basic-september-14-2024-seuffert-bandshell/

What do you do when Pavement and Phish tickets go on sale at the same time?

Discovering an unused Bandcamp d/l code in a record you bought used is pretty special.

@dominicumile I saw this on IG. Anyone got $15k they wanna loan me? Free shipping!

I don't think it's possible to listen to it online but the new Kungens Män is really terrific and apparently there are still copies left. Should be very easy to flip if you don't like it. https://majesticmountainrecords.bigcartel.com/product/kungens-man-for-samtida-djur-2-pre-order

@bourgwick @davethespazz Cool. But it's time to open the archives a little wider Neil- or Bob-style.

@DaveG924 @noah_s I was just telling my wife the other day how I found out about Guns N Roses at Jewish day camp—I had to learn about these things on the streets because I didn't have siblings!

@noah_s It's not mine mom I swear!

@noah_s Ha! That's amazing for such a document of his presumably teenage self. I have a few of my mothers records but there's really no personalization.

@noah_s Oof. That's awful. Sorry.

@noah_s Yes, most definitely.

In retaliation for...all this...let's agree that when all the boomers give away their records we're going to play them on Crosleys, leave oily fingerprints on them, and refer to them as vinyls. Especially their Beatles UK tube cut hot stampers.

@aburtch I think we made it 2 episodes in before forgetting we had even started it.
