Threefer Thursday: My Morning Jacket Does Covers. By Mike V

My Morning Jacket formed in 1998 in Louisville, Kentucky. Since then they’ve released nine studio records and a bunch of live albums. You can stream their live shows on Nugs as well. When I was subscribing to Nugs, a friend shared a playlist filled with MMJ doing covers from across the musical spectrum. Jim James and co., like myself, are covers connoisseurs....

Threefer Thursday: Jackie Venson Will Melt Your Face. By Mike V

I’m a regular browser of music venue calendars. I’ve got some FOMO with respect to concerts that I try and manage that way. I missed Tom Petty’s last tour, and I still haven’t gotten over it.

So I was looking at the calendar for The Magic Bag, a ~300 capacity venue in Ferndale, near Detroit, and I saw this....

Threefer Thursday: Some Acoustic Hits from The Cure. By Mike V

Robert Smith of The Cure celebrated a birthday this past Tuesday! Born on April 21st, 1959. He’s 67 years young now. So many great songs and albums. 14 studio records since 1979’s Three Imaginary Boys, with 2024’s Songs of a Los World being the most recent.

I got to see The Cure live on their summer tour in 2023, and it was outstanding....

Threefer Thursday: Jack White, SNL Five-Timers Club. By Mike V

As of two Saturdays ago, Jack White has been the musical guest on Saturday Night Live (SNL) 6 times. That’s not including the 50th anniversary music special he performed on in early 2025. His 5th time on the show - in 2023 - is when he officially became part of the Five-Timers Club, which is a silly but entertaining ongoing gag on SNL....

Threefer Thursday: Hit Me, Fred! By Mike V

Threefer Thursday: Some Choice Live Wilco Jams. By Mike V

As you surely know by now, Wilco has announced a summer “An Evening with Wilco” tour - no opener, just two sets of Wilco jams each night. Like a Grateful Dead concert. Is that exciting, or what? I am planning to go to one of the stops with a crew of friends, and I cannot wait.

I’ve been a fan of Wilco since Summerteeth was released on March 9, 1999....
