I love this album.

Been listening to Jake's record a lot. Also the whole William Tyler discog. Great late spring music.

Have you heard Tyler's cover of "Go Your Own Way," Mickey? It's very nice.

I hadn't but thanks for the tip, this is stellar.

Been listening to reunion era Dinosaur Jr as well and Green Mind. Farm and Beyond are as good as you are going to get from a reunited band, and I Bet On Sky is a lot better than I remembered.

J is probably only behind Steve Vai on my list of favorite guitarists.

I never really got into Dinosaur Jr but his last few solo albums have been fantastic. I should check out his earlier stuff because yeah, he is a really great and interesting sounding guitarist.

I did this exact thing last week. Before it was over I had a mohawk, so be careful!

Spinning my white vinyl...

Yeah, Start Choppin!

Start Choppin is such a great song.

Beyond, Farm and I Bet on Sky are just really more melodic and focused than the earlier records. I prefer them to the classic albums although Green Mind and Bug are great in their own way. Where You Been is uneven but the highs are so high.

My vinyl playlist for the day:

Rocky Mountain High - John Denver
Marry Me - St. Vincent
Building the Perfect Beast - Don Henley
Bookends - Simon & Garfunkel
Who's Next - The Who
The White Album - The Beatles
The Wall - Pink Floyd
The Final Cut - Pink Floyd

Stopping there. Hiking tomorrow. Bedtime!

I will do this thing. And if I end up with a mohawk, all the better!

William Tyler is hands down one of my favorite musicians working today, and Impossible Truth one of my favorite albums of the 2010's. I remember listening to this over and over on the train from Illinois to San Diego, while riding through some of the deserts in New Mexico and Arizona -- a breathtaking experience.
