Yesterday we picked up our lace pieces from the Fiber Arts display in a local library (Morse Institute in #NatickMA). When they invited us, we also suggested to them some books and items for their library to have. That's one way to defeat #AIslop beginner books--provide access to legit books.

But they also added to their #LibraryOfThings a beginner lace pillow setup! We are very psyched. Equipment is hard to assess as a beginner.

Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers, Modern Lovers ’88, 1987 on Rounder

Although the Modern Lovers formed in Natick MA, this incarnation formed in California and recorded this album in Grass Valley CA. This became the final album for Richman with the Modern Lovers, as a trio, with Brennan Totten and Johnny Avila.

My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is the Craft Recordings’ 2022 Record Store Day 35th Anniversary Edition on blue vinyl. This reissue itself charted (a first for a Modern Lovers release) at 77 on the US album charts.

Makes sense following Llewyn Davis and Billy Bragg to have an early Dylan album – definitely one of my favorites and an iconic cover.

This is from the era where Dylan is making an unbelievable number of what come to be classic albums very quickly. “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” is one I perpetually find myself returning to on guitar,…
