Thurston & Nels Cline doing an improv set together for the first time since the '90s! wish i could be there for that alone.

wow, they really haven't done that since the 90s? i saw them a couple of times in santa monica in the 90s, it was a little too much for my teenage brain, but i'd love it now.

JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound are a really good Chicago soul band; don't think they tour much.
