Thursday Night Music Club (More Minnesota ed.)

here's a piece by Paul Westerberg (nee of The Replacements--one of my all-time favorite bands, for what it's worth) on writing and inspiration in the NYT, including one of his many great songs embedded from YouTube--enjoy.

Thursday Night Music Club (Blue ed.)

ah, yes, The Jayhawks. Has it really been 18 years since this song was released? Remember picking up Tomorrow the Green Grass at a little music store on the Vermont/NY border and playing this w/ the windows down. Enjoy--

Thursday Night Music Club (Friday ed.)

Bash and Pop is Tommy Stinson's band (you may remember him from his Replacements days). Here is "Friday Night is Killing Me" (not really--but it's a great song, even better album). Enjoy.

Thursday Night Music Club (Dylan ed).

caught Bob Dylan in Akron a couple Fridays ago (I think it was show #22 or so)--probably only artist (although I heard Miles Davis did the same) who gets away with not speaking to the audience--weird. But still a good show, esp for a 72-year-old. Here is one of my favs--enjoy. 

and here from No Depression is a list of top 10 Dylan songs--fun:
