This may be my favorite Dinosaur Jr song. I love the last verse where J.'s voice stays at the same level of calmness while the cacophony builds around him. I went with this version as it was the earliest one I could find. Looks like everyone was having a good time.

Loading... This is my oldest male cousin Jacob. He's four years younger than me. My oldest cousin is his big sister. Often times when we got together when we were younger, the girls - my little sister and his big sister - would always play together, and Jacob and I would play together. I haven't seen as much of him as an adult as I would like, but we're working on seeing each other more often.
This is an original work of his. I'm really proud of him not only for his talent, but having the guts to put himself out there like this. I couldn't imagine opening myself up like that for the world to see.

While I was down there, I really got to reconnect with my oldest little cousin (We're both the oldest in our respective families, but she is, as I like to teasingly remind her, 1 year, 10 months, and 6 days younger than me). Anyway, she told me to look up this song when I got home. I did, and there was something familiar about it in the deep recesses of my mind, but I couldn't figure out what exactly. Then she told me that we used to listen to Guy Clark, and this song in particular, together a lot when we were younger and got to see each other a few times a year. It was really nice to be reminded of when we were closer, and it's gotten regular rotation since.

The weather was terrible all day, but broke about 30 minutes before the Hold Steady went on. The show ended up being awesome, though the whiskey and singing along meant I couldn't talk very well for a few days.

with the negotiations completed and contracts all signed, we're happy to announce the recruitment of a fresh round of guest DJs. we're looking for a few sensitive young men and women to take a turn behind the tables.
if you're interested, please send an email to hungryjoe [this thingy] wgom.org. first priority goes to new DJs. spots left over will be spread among returning DJs (2011 DJs have first priority, then 2012's crop), awarded by random number generator. also, months will be awarded by random number generator.
deadline to apply will be thursday, 20 december 2012, at, oh, let's say 3pm CT
come be the next opportunistic renegade.
EDIT: if you have any months that won't work out as well, let me know and i'll try to get the schedule to work for you should you be chosen
EDIT II - RESULTS:
nice turnout for volunteers. we had 6 newbies volunteers, so they're all in. for the next group, we had 7 people that last had a guest run in 2011, so all their names were put into consideration. to choose, their handles were placed in alphabetical order, and then a random sequence of numbers 1-7 was generated and that order was matched to the alphabetical list of names. numbers 1-6 are in, and whomever received lucky #7 would have to wait until next year.
The candidates:
and the random number list:
sorry, breau, it's going to have to be next year (though you'll be first in line if we need a pinch hitter).
and, with further random number usage to determine months with schedule requests taken into account, your 2013 guest DJs!
there you have it, folks. if DJs want to trade months, that's fine, just let me know. thank you again for the great volunteer turnout. those that missed the cut this year will have much better chances next year. any questions, let me know.

Macklemore loses a little bit without a crowd, but I've caught him four times in the last eighteen months and watched him go from the Seventh Street Entry to the mainstage at Soundset. If you're interested and want to see a baseball tie-in, search for his song "My Oh My."
