I'd like us to expand This Week Roll Call to include other, non-musical things. What restaurants are people going to on date night? What days are people doing their errands? Who has a picnic planned?


Done. If you don’t share your full social calendar in Roll Call, I’ll assume you’re spending the week sobbing in your basement with your dusty vinyl and leftover macaroni and cheese.
That’s pretty much what I do….

I mean all the other assumptions are correct but there aren’t basements in Richmond — the water table is totally inappropriate.

Thank you for fixing that for me. You are helping me get better day by day.

I hate the fact people post more about shows they went to 30 years ago than upcoming shows! That’s what gets me

maybe a different proportion – but the concept is solid.

noting, "Golden Years" does sorta imply far in the past.  Not totally, but def an implication yesteryear was when we peaked…


Concerts have changed so much since the olden days:
