I wish I had something exciting for you today, but I don't.
Anyone have anything to kickstart a cold, grey Monday?

Any thoughts out there about the Cactus Blossoms? Dead ringers (aurally) for the Everly Bros. Which should be a great thing—but are they maybe TOO much an imitation? They do write their own songs, but...
I can't decide. And maybe there's a thread here about influences versus imitators.
I'm trying to decide if I liked Weezer's "Black Album" or not. Or if they are a band that will be unfairly flagged as "why is this new album not as great as your debut" from now until they call it quits?
And I *really liked* "3 x 4" -- that Paisly Underground self-celebration album.
And I finally saw Bohemian Rhapsody over the weekend. I went into it fully knowing that it was soft-pedaled and time-line shifted, but I thought it was a lot of fun. I watched it with a bunch of Millenials I play volleyball with and I was the old fart who was actually around when Live Aid was broadcast, so I got to regale them with stories of what that was like when the movie was over.

I would enjoy a post about an idea you had a couple of weeks ago - concert setlist of artists songs they've rarely/never played.
