Only just realized that Dave Alvin, known for rockabilly & Americana & guesting w/ X is in a psych improv group now w/ woman singer Jess Sykes & others-The Third Mind, and they're gonna be @ the Hamilton in DC Oct 19. Still deciding if I like her voice & or if group is too jam band for me

Oh no, RIP great r&b singer D’Angelo who died at 51 from cancer. He released 3 albums over his career. In June 2015 my wife & I saw he & his band do a funky, memorable show at the Fillmore Silver Spring. Here’s one of my wife’s videos from that show- an excerpt from “Untitled ( How Does it Feel)”

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.
Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."
