Jeff’s Insights from June 17 Show at Tussey Mountain

On this Juneteenth, 2023, let’s remind ourselves of what Maya Angelou famously said: “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

  • Songs I Wish I'd Written: Wasn't Born to Follow
    Songs I Wish I’d Written: Wasn’t Born to Follow

    The Byrds' "Wasn't Born to Follow" isn't as well known as hits like "Eight Miles High." Too bad, because "Wasn't Born to Follow" is much more interesting.

  • Songs I Wish I'd Written: When You Smile
    Songs I Wish I’d Written: When You Smile

    The Dream Syndicate's "When You Smile" changed my life. That's not hyperbole.

  • Songs I Wish I’d Written: We Can Be Together

    Jefferson Airplane were punk rock. I realize this is a laughable statement on many levels, but "We Can Be Together" proves it.

  • Songs I Wish I’d Written: At Her Open Door

    If you think heavy rock and unabashed psychedelia are two great tastes that go great together, then you need to hear this one.

  • Songs I Wish I'd Written: Very Friendly
    Songs I Wish I’d Written: Very Friendly

    If incorporation into a "pop" song potentially trivializes a murder, at least Throbbing Gristle santizes nothing. "Very Friendly" leaves the horror intact.

  • Songs I Wish I’d Written: September Gurls

    Not many pop songs are so perfect that not a single note could be bettered. This is one. If you've never heard "September Gurls," stop what you're doing and listen to it now.

  • Songs I Wish I'd Written: Reuters
    Songs I Wish I’d Written: “Reuters”

    "Reuters" is the first cut off Wire's 1977 debut album "Pink Flag," and it's a doozy of an opening salvo. Man, how I wish I had written this song.

  • The Long Afternoon’s Music Inspired Bear Attack Scene in Award-Winning Film The Revenant, Director Reveals

    HUMBERSTONE, Chile — Academy Award winning director Alejandro G. Iñárritu revealed this week that the bear attack scene in The Revenant was inspired by songs from An Index of Maladjustments, the collection of songs released in 2011 by the mysterious indie rock organization The Long Afternoon.

  • Apocryphal Short Story by Russian Author Anton Chekhov Reveals Anticipatory Influence of The Long Afternoon

    Sleeping in a culvert (Translated from the Russian by G. A. Armalade) To roll over and find one's face crushed against thorny twigs and the slime of wet leaves is not the pleasantest of awakenings.

  • The Long Afternoon Refuses to Appear on Ellen, Citing Opposition to Dance Moves

    The Long Afternoon's publicist Ginger M. Armalade confirmed today that the veteran indie rockers refused an invitation from the Ellen DeGeneres show to appear in promotion of its recently released fourth album, Regression, on the grounds that the host’s signature dance moves are “lame.”
