I do kick myself for not making the trip up to Eaux Claires before the 2010s festival bubble burst. glad our resident Wisconsinite made many appearances. I DID see the hometown For Emma anniversary show in Milwaukee, that rocked. (22,A Million is still their best, go JJ)
damn sorry to hear jj feels that way about the new bon iver. It's been a delightful album to listen to this year along with Dijon's new record. To be cringe is to be free.
JJ — I agree with you!! The album felt like the first time Justin was largely mimicking the innovations of other artists rather than carving out his own unique lane. It had the same issue as the Bieber record (i.e. feeling like discount store Dijon/Mk.gee), which is a crazy thing to say about a Bon Iver record
that one moment on "day one" is all i need to hear to feel alive ya know? If anything I am more upset by it doesn't really seem like an album he can tour with / nor did it sound like he wanted to tour again at all.
> because I brought it up in our House of Dynamite episode, my visit to Hiroshima was profoundly moving
"My visit to the Lego factory..." would have fit just as well in that sentence. The movie (about an unprovoked surprise attack) and Hiroshima have nothing to do with each other. Japan was given advance notice and decided they'd prefer the bomb to surrender. Having been given a few days to survey the damage and think about it, they sacrificed Nagasaki as well. Anything but surrender.
you don't think a visit to one of two cities to feel the full effects of nuclear war is relevant to the discussion of a movie about a hypothetical nuclear strike?
The Snocaps album rules.
Yuppp

Unfortunately the only Eaux Claires that I missed was the one where they debuted 22, A Million in full lol
I interviewed Chicago rap legend Serengeti years ago and he had a lot of interesting stuff to say about getting swept up in Vernon's orbit: https://www.passionweiss.com/2018/09/10/serengeti-interview-end-of-kenny-dennis/
the porch expo had me absolutely dying, congrats Ben

Yeah I wouldn’t call it his best album but I never got the sense that ppl felt it was an outright failure

*MAD* at that STRAIGHT STORY program (and how I don't have it). MAD!
