Tomorrow night (1-23-2025) our band Three Grebes will be playing with Floating Cave and the Gabe Heinemann Quartet at Elastic Arts in Chicago. Starts at 8:30. Should be really lovely night! The night after that (1-24-2025) we'll be at Rozz Tox in Rock Island, IL with Floating Cave and Bob Bucko Jr. ...

A couple things of note: We put a single out last week, the last of recordings we made at Electrical. We'll be recording in March at Reel Sounds. https://threegrebes.bandcamp.com/album/they-sought-the-damp-and-moonless-feeling-here And secondly we have three shows coming up. Thursday, Jan. 23rd at E...

His 'rock' or pop albums are kinda unmatched. Insignificance and Simple Songs are superb. He isn't winking at you, too. Bad Timing and The Visitor are also shockingly great. Both sorta take me by surprise every time I listen to them (major thanks to Mr. King for gifting me The Visitor years ago). I'...

We watched Kneecap last night after kinda avoiding it for a while ("This can't be that good, there is no way"). I was way wrong! It was super fucking funny. Insane pace (the pace created by someone much younger than myself I suspect). Helped that I read about 8 books about the IRA in the l...

Waffles, it did kind of peter out at the end and was about 20mins too long. Holy shit. I have seen this film at least four times now (and I have d...

Fargo Took me long enough. Made me think of FM Isaac. The Shawshank Redemption Good stuff Yah, you betcha! Wait until you see A Serious Man. Saw that while going through some significant issues in my personal life, waiting to get tenure from a dean who was probably a sociopath, and loved crawling o...

Watched Beau is Afraid this weekend. There were a few things I admired about it, but I wouldn't watch it again. I thought it did a good job at depicting anxiety early on, and the whole perception that the outside world is full of danger and should be avoided. Watched that film this week and that's ...

Thanks for that, Andy. Superb.

Yep. Massive fucking bummer. Dude was super active with his family and pals on vacations and whatnot.
He had recently retired, too, which is an extra kicker.

Friend of the PRF (and Live from the Barrage mainstay) Mario Asaro had a horrific accident in August. He's paralyzed now. Dude is full of life. Hanging out with him is really fun and the dude lights up a room. If you were listening to the Barrage during its hayday (AFTER DAVE LEFT I MEAN), you get a...
