• Disc 4 of the new Who set is a revelation! Worth the price of admission. 

• New QOTSA is pretty damn great! A few of the acoustic based songs remind me of solo Lennon. 

• The new Mike Viola sounded really good on first pass and I am hoping it's because it's a truly solid album and not because I disliked the last one "Rock Of Boston" as much as I did.

Perfecth sounds great and is a lot of fun. I hear some late-70s Bowie. Do you have a preferred version of “Sunday” (2016’s Iggy Pop or the QOTSA)? Diggin’ the album’s vibe. Hope you enjoy the weekend. Cheers :)

Mojo heard the late-70s Fleetwood Mac in “Insignificant Others” too. Nice. Lol

Right now diggin' the QOTSA version of "Sunday." But there isn't anything wrong with Iggy's.

I expected you to provide guidance on the Who box. And here you are!

Pete singing Dreaming From the Waist really got me today. I did have to skip the 11-minute interview with Keith and John. Will put that one on when I’m in the right frame of mind. .
