Pearl Jam - "Oceans"
Live from Wrigley Field, Chicago, on Aug. 25, 2016. (And it might only be available at actual youtube.)
I may or may not have spent many hours the past few days creating an over-elaborate google doc outlining flights, hotels and various bars and coffee shops in and around Chicago for Pearl Jam's shows there later this summer. As in, there are gifs and custom graphics and formatting and shit in this thing that only two or three other people might ever see. I'm pumped.
Additionally, those two shows in 2016 (and the one in 2013) were just so mindblowing and cathartic, but I hadn't listened to them in a while. It's the only thing to crack through the Dark Matter wall this past week.
Anyway, the second show in '16 opened up with "Oceans," and it was awesome. Enjoy.

Good morning. The new Pearl Jam album Dark Matter is out today and it's so good I don't know what to do with myself.
You can read more about my emotional descent into madness here (that means I wrote a review), or you can just find where to listen to the album and do that and form your own opinion.
But the quick version is that I cannot believe how good this one is.

The Rolling Stones - "Happy"
Live from Austin, TX, in 1972 and the Ladies and Gentlemen movie. There's been a lot of the Stones in my ears this week, to the point that I've started wondering if I should figure out how to make myself a blonde Telecaster with five strings and a humbucker in the neck position. I mean, it's been a couple of years since I got a new guitar. Do I need it? Absolutely not. Do I want it? Of course.

Jeff Buckley - "Unforgiven (Last Goodbye)"
Took a random spin through my library just now and this pops up, of course. From Live at Sin-é circa 1993. How anyone or anything ever sounded this good still blows me away.

Taking a picture (obviously) didn’t work, so you get a notebook drawing instead.

Queens of the Stone Age - "Sicily"
This is one of those songs where, every time I hear it, I think, "this might be the greatest goddamn thing anyone has ever made." Seriously.

And there goes March, which if you pair it with the end of February saw me listen to nothing but Tom Petty for 12 straight days. And he still snuck in a few times after that.

Evidence that yesterday, however briefly, it was nice outside in New England.
And now we brace for another week of rain and possibly snow. Awesome.

Keith Richards and the X-pensive Winos - "Take It So Hard"
Live in 1993 in Cologne, Germany. And this is another morning where I find myself resisting the urge to find all the parts to build myself a blonde Telecaster with a humbucker in the neck position. Alas.

The Rolling Stones - "Winter"
Today marked the first full day of spring. And it still snowed for about 25 seconds this morning.
Anyway, this seemed appropriate. Enjoy.
"It sure been a hard, hard winter
My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground
And I hope it's going to be a long, hot summer
And the light of love will be burning bright..."

The Traveling Wilburys - "End of the Line"
I watched a little documentary on the making of the Traveling Wilburys' Volume 1 album today on the train home, so this seemed fitting.
