I totally recommend seeking out this movie in your area, I really enjoyed it. I don't know why it made my laugh but, at 51 I was the youngest person in the theater.
For a nice companion piece, check out the podcast "Rolling Stone Music Now" June 4 - Jakob Dylon.
Keeping my Discogs app updated, has saved me from buying albums I already own several times. I've also had good luck with purchases from the Discogs marketplace.
Simple MInds last Friday at ACL Live was outstanding. I think most people forgot about them after the Breakfast Club soundtrack, but they made some great albums in the 90's. The new album is also very good. JIm Kerr mentioned the last time they were in Austin was the 80's. It was my first show at the Moody and I had GA. It felt like a club show. I really the size of the theater and the sound was very good.
The best part about "heritage acts"? No one holds up their phone for the whole show.
I was in town last week for The Simple Minds concert and I hit up End of A Ear. I really liked the store and their used prices. Of course I've been shopping at Waterloo since forever (back when vinyl was kept where Lululemon is now). I will be adding End of A Ear to my list of stops.
I picked up Pearl Jam - Backspacer, Joe Jackson - Live, Bright Lights Big City Soundtrack, Style Council - Internationalists, Jane Siberry - No Borders Here. Jane is pretty unknown, so I was really happy to find this vinyl. I also picked up a new amp from Sound Gallery.
Any other stores in town I need to check out next time?
I was at the Pearl Jam concert at Safeco Field that night and saw the story on Twitter during the show. The thought of that dude flying by the stadium did cross my mind. Some people posted that they saw the fighter jets fly near the stadium. Crazy!
Thanks, Jazz was the soundtrack to my youth. My dad was a public radio station manager for over 30 years. I raided his closet last summer, and I still have about 40-50 more to add to Discogs.
Pearl Jam - The Home Shows 8/10/18
Pre-show - The atmosphere around the stadium was amazing. The fact that PJ had not played Seattle in over 5 years really had the whole city pumped. We got into the PJ Wishlist Foundation pre-show party, and I won a show poster from the 2016 Wrigley Field shows in a raffle. Between that and a few drinks, I was buzzed and ready for the show.
Show Time - Amazing 36, 3 1/2 hour show full over special guests, covers and deep cuts. Tributes to Tom Perry and Chris Cornell.
At one point, Kim Thayil from Soundgarden, Steve Turner and Mark Arm from Mudhoney were all on stage with PJ. That means on stage was;
100% Pearl Jam
83% Temple of the Dog
80% Green River
50% Mudhoney
50 % Soundgarden
40% Mother Love Bone
This trip was a 50th birthday gift to myself, it was like the soundtrack of my life.
I agree Discogs has helped me stop from buying doubles several times.
I'm "csvalles1228" on Discogs. I got back into vinyl after my divorce in 2016.
My Discogs collection is almost up to 200. Can't imagine that would have happened with the wife still around. Ha!
I belong to the group Vinyl Hoarders United on Facebook, and Whipped Cream often comes up. Posting a picture of your copy is either a badge of honor or a scarlet letter.
Full Disclosure - I paid $0.99 for my copy.
Recently pickup the 2016 vinyl remasters of The Wall and Dark Side, they sound fantastic.
Saw the Division Bell tour in the Sun Bowl back in '94. The surround sound setup combined with the mountains made for a amazing sound.
