For reasons I can no longer recall, I talked myself out of buying tickets to My Chem when they played here in August, and I'm still mad at myself about it!

In other news, I've been putting together a Halloween playlist on Spotify and searched back through the archived Music threads to find the track listings for David's Halloween mixes, and found some other gems too. But I can't find a track listing for the Louche Crooners mix! David, do you still have that handy somewhere?

I do! I'll track it down for you.

Not technically Music, but we saw Henry Rollins perform last night at the Palace of Fine Arts and my friends. He's so good. He's amazing - although at one point I was thinking I had to put my earplugs in because the man is Very Very Good at Yelling.

Mimi Parker has died. Way too young. [link]

It's very sad. She and Sparhawk met in elementary school.

Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie died at 79. It's a shame, but she sure wrote some good music.

Putting on a very escapist hat and unlurking in very, very, very long shot question: any chance someone here is planning to attend the Lost Weekend Records 20th anniversary show in Columbus, OH? Asking for a Scrawl fan. Who is me.

Edited: slightly embarrassing, but either due to COVID brain fog or all of the local political excitement around, I missed it by a month. But I found a video, so yay!

I am so stunned and saddened by Sinead O'Connor's death. She was brilliant & forthright and had such a lovely voice.

Yeah, it’s a hard one, Sumi. For sure.

I'm going to see The Warning [link] in Chicago later this month. I've already purchased a pair of earplugs designed for concerts. Anything else a middle-aged person venturing back into live music after over two decades should be aware of?
