  6. The dust has settled on #rsd and, after queuing from 05:45, I was able to snag a copy of #TheWholeLove by #Wilco courtesy of #PiccadillyRecords. And it just sounds incredibly - and the package is impeccable as one would expect.

    I missed out on #EverybodyDigsBillEvans in mono, but managed to hunt down a copy in the US which, alongside the Mingus, should be with me in the next week.

    That’s likely my lot for this year.

  13. Some of the Trump administration’s anti-worker moves included

    ♦️rescinding a Biden-era executive order that raised the minimum wage for federal workers,

    ♦️rolling back laws prohibiting workplace discrimination,

    ♦️pulling out of an international agreement that would have imposed a minimum tax on corporations,

    ♦️and killing dozens of workplace safety rules.

    Trump’s most vicious moves targeted immigrant workers,
    many of whom have been terrorized by the unrelenting barrage of ICE raids throughout their communities and workplaces

    Things may become even more dire in 2026, as many Trump appointees are poised to wield power.

    💥#Wayne #Palmer, a coal industry executive, will serve as the assistant secretary of the Mine Safety and Health Administration.

    💥#David #Keeling will head the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

    💥Keeling previously oversaw health and safety protocols at Amazon and UPS,
    and the companies collectively racked up over 300 workplace safety citations and $2 million in OSHA fines while he was in charge.

    💥#Andrew #Rogers, a former attorney at the anti-union law firm Littler Mendelson, will serve as the next administrator of the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division.

    🔥Additionally, Trump’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) may soon begin deciding cases.

    💥Upon arriving in the White House, Trump illegally fired board member Gwynne Wilcox, depriving the agency of the necessary quorum of at least three members.

    💥The board also paused all active investigations, including two dozen inquiries into companies owned by Trump megadonor Elon Musk.

    💥In July, Trump finally selected two new members:
    #James #Murphy, who has spent many years as counsel to Republican NLRB members,
    💥and #Scott #Mayer, who currently serves as the chief labor counsel for Boeing and formerly worked for the anti-union law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.

    💥In February, NLRB Acting General Counsel #William #Cowen rescinded more than two dozen Biden-era General Counsel memos addressing issues such as the electronic monitoring of workers and the employment status of college athletes.

    🔥If its quorum is reestablished, the board is expected to take these efforts a step further and overturn Biden-era rulings.
    💥These include the ban on “captive audience” meetings, in which employers effectively force workers to sit through anti-union propaganda
    💥and the 2023 Cemex case decision, which determined that, if a majority of workers sign union affiliation cards, employers have to either recognize the union or hold an election within two weeks.

    ❌“There is a very strong likelihood that the #NLRB will achieve quorum in the new year and begin a more aggressive attack on workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain,”
    Margaret Poydock, a senior policy analyst at EPI, told Truthout.

    🆘“President Trump is the largest union buster in U.S. history, and his interference with the independence of the NLRB will result in the further weakening of our nation’s labor laws.”

  15. Michael Shannon, Jason Narducy and Friends, Life’s Rich Pageant, March 6th, 2026 at Royale in Boston

    Friday night, the tour of Michael Shannon, Jason Narducy and Friends Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of R.E.M.’s “Life’s Rich Pageant” came through Boston with a killer show at Royale on Tremont.

    As they did with “Fables of the Reconstruction” at the same venue, they played the album in sequence. Yes, this included Shannon (who played General Zod in Man of Steel) singing “I Am Superman”:

    Last song on side B: “I Am Superman” – an unlisted track on the original

    After the playing the full album, which sounded great but short, they launched into an extended set of songs from throughout the catalog – forward to Up and New Adventures in Hi-Fi, and back to Chronic Town.

    Boxcars, which for some reason audience members kept asking for even after it was played early in the set.

    After a pretty lengthy set, they also came back for an encore.

    Shannon with Vijay Tellis-Nayak do “Nightswimming” to open the encore“Camera” from the encore set

    This time the “Friends” included Dag Juhlin (Poi Dog Pondering, Sunshine Boys, Exo ’76) , John Stirratt (Wilco, The Autumn Defense), Vijay Tellis-Nayak (composer, arranger, in Kick The Cat), and Jon Wurster (Superchunk, The Mountain Goats, Bob Mould). What a great band! I think they are spot-on with all the music from Chronic Town through Document (coming next year), though there were some stumbles in a few of the more recent songs deeper in the set – maybe the first time they’ve played them.

    Look forward to seeing the Document tour.

  16. 25 YEARS GONE: REMEMBERING LULU’S ROADHOUSE

    It’s been 25 years since the final notes faded from Lulu’s Roadhouse, but for those who danced, sang, and lived through its heyday, the memories remain as vivid as ever. Once hailed as the world’s largest nightclub bar, Lulu’s wasn’t just a music venue—it was a rite of passage, a community hub and a temple to rock ‘n’ roll in the heart of Kitchener.

    Opened in April 1984 by Toronto entrepreneur Karl Magid, Lulu’s transformed a former Kmart at 4263 King St. E., Kitchener into a 75,000-square-foot music venue. With a Guinness World Record-holding 340-foot bar and a capacity of 3,000, it quickly became a magnet for music lovers across Ontario. 

    From Chuck Berry to The Ramones, Lulu’s hosted a staggering range of acts, often well past their commercial prime but still capable of electrifying a crowd. Lulu’s featured a dance floor big enough to hold thousands and some idiosyncratic touches like “balloon girls” who sold balloons with meanings based on their colours—among others, red meant a woman who wanted to dance; blue was for men looking to show women a fun time; yellow meant shy; and purple simply meant horny.

    Lulu’s played host to Canadian icons like Kim Mitchell, David Wilcox, Trooper and Colin James, as well as international legends and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers such as James Brown, Alice Cooper and The Everly Brothers. The venue’s eclectic bookings meant you could see Conway Twitty one week and Motörhead the next. 

    Behind the scenes, figures like Rob Cressman of Major Talent Agency worked tirelessly to bring big names to town, often booking regional tours to make Lulu’s a viable stop. Artists were paid in cash, and trust was everything—Del Shannon once asked Cressman to hold onto $30,000 until his next visit.

    The venue’s charm wasn’t just in its headliners. The house band, featuring guitarist Peter Paladino, was a major draw, touring other cities and even traveling in their own bus. For many, the house band was the best show in town.

    Bill Wiley, a DJ from FM 108 and frequent MC at Lulu’s, conducted over 350 interviews with artists during his time there. Though many of his recordings were tragically stolen 15 years ago, he fondly recalls his interview with James Brown as a career highlight. Among his favourite performances were Sam and Dave, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, and The Crystals. Wiley remembers Dee Dee Kenniebrew of The Crystals taking a particular liking to him—a memory that still brings a smile.

    Even chaos had its place. One night, during a Motörhead and Black Sabbath double bill, the crowd erupted into moshing and stage diving—not something you’d expect to see at a suburban night club. Between sets, a scuffle broke out, adding to the night’s wild lore.

    Despite its popularity, Lulu’s could not escape the pressures of changing times. Ownership changes, economic downturns, and evolving musical tastes led to its bankruptcy in 1992. Though it was revived and continued to host major acts into the late ’90s, the club closed for good on April 8, 2000.

    Angie Hill—now a popular DJ on Bounce 99.5 FM— was a host at Lulu’s in the late 1990’s until it closed in 2000.  She remembers the people she worked with as a family and cherishes the lifelong friendships she made while working there. She remembers how she and other staff would “eat our shitty chicken fingers together … and make a plan of attack for the night.”  

    Kenny Hollis, who also worked as a host for many years at Lulu’s, reportedly had some of his ashes scattered on former site of Lulu’s.

    Mike Harvey, who worked as the Lighting Director from 1993 to 1998, said working at Lulu’s was like being paid to work at a party.

    “There will never, ever, be another place like it,” he said.

    “The place was just magical, eh,” Robbie Hain, the former house manager, said. 

    Hain is also working on a book about Lulu’s.

    Today, Lulu’s lives on in the hearts of those who experienced it. Ask any regular to name their favorite show, and you will likely get a wistful smile and a list too long to finish. Whether it was George Thorogood playing to an over-capacity crowd, James Brown for $2 on a Tuesday, or Stompin’ Tom Connors fuming over a canceled gig, every night at Lulu’s was a story waiting to be told.

    And 25 years later, those stories still echo—loud, proud and unforgettable.

  18. Room temperature superconductivity.

    MATTG is Magic Angle Twisted Tri-layer Graphene.

    This stuff actually exists, and is measured and explained in scientific papers.

    Fortunately, MIT published an explainer that doesn't hurt your head so much. (It can't yet support a faster-than-sound passenger train...)

    The cool picture explainer is in the description.

  19. It's a 79th day of my #100DaysOfCoding with #R and #RStats. I learned about #infer pipeline of #specify, #hypothesize, #generate, and #calculate, which is cool and all. I learned about non-parametric tests and performed rank-based tests (Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney and the Kruskal-Wallis), and I got completely absolutely lost, and I stare at my screen like into the oblivion, and the oblivion is calling me, and I feel so dumb. I did things, but I'm not sure what happened, and I have no bloody clue when I should use which tests. I feel like some enormous jump in a time-space continuum occurred, and I just fell off the ship and now I'm hanging in the void, lol.

  21. Here's the farm that supplies the eggs we have been buying from PCC Markets (not sure what the letters PCC stand for any more, perhaps Puget Community Coop?) and they haven't been above $8.50 since Avian Influenza Virus H5N1 has been decimating egg laying flocks. The chickens eat organic food and are not subjected to antibiotics and hormones. We're on our own with renegade White House DOA, but we trust these farmers. Other farms are available.

  22. SON VOLT
    Trace
    2025 Europe 2xLP RSD Reissue
    Purple vinyl

    Although I already had the excellent MOV press of this, I knew I was gonna buy this. The second record of bonus material is fucking INCREDIBLE, and for somebody who loves this album like I do, it’s a treasure trove.

    I adore Trace (and to only a slightly less extent Straightaways), and I listen to it NUMEROUS times a year every year.
    Gun to my head, it’s my favorite “alt-country” album of all time. I’ve always preferred Son Volt to Wilco from the beginning, and FOR MY OWN PERSONAL TASTE, Trace is by far the best record either of the two bands made, and that includes Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

    Every song on here stirs something up in me, and even MY outfit has live takes on both “Route” and “Drown” when we need to stretch things out.

    This isn’t as dynamic as the MOV, but worth it for the bonus stuff.
