Bruce transforms a great early Tom Waits song into one of the greatest love songs of all time in a euphoric hometown live performance. An unselfconscious affirmation of the transcendent love that exists between the cracks of the day to day, and a reminder that the feelings we share for each other are what make life worth living <3
P.S.
You can hear the crowd scream with joy at every mention of a New Jersey landmark… beautiful.

Ween’s best. Captures the vibe of getting gas in New Jersey, a reminder that sometimes it’s best to leave it to the pros. you’ll laugh you’ll cry and you’ll find a place your own glorification. 10/10

Smalltown Boy will always give me the feels. Certainly contributed to my queer awakening.

Actually putting aside the time and making the mental space necessary to start/return to conversations with all your friends around the world instead of just texting the same 3 people.
I’m terrible at this, but whenever I remind myself to do so it feels like I’ve once again tripped on life’s fundamental truth.

Difficult though it may be for the old vanguard to accept, I believe most if not all vital innovation in the jam band format is coming from the industrial electronic musical sector.
Autechre are a great example of one such band who - late in their careers - have released dozens of hours of improvisatory and fresh takes on old material performed live and categorized by the year and city in which the performances took place.
These recordings are then - of course - fawned over and endlessly analyzed by obsessive devotees and electro-hippie freaks who collect, distribute, and bootleg them along with whatever other unreleased or previously unknown material they can independently gather.
It is, as ever, a brave new world, and change is confusing, but if you listen with an open mind you’ll surely find yourself entranced by Autechre’s Psycho-Electronic Experimentations …. Peace and Love✌️
