    I agree, hard to decide between that and Murmur.  Both are stellar.

    Wow. That’s sad. He’s probably at retirement age. I’ve been a couple times in the last 3 years.

    new Michael Stipe song I Played The Fool out today. 

    Along with collaborator Andrew Watt, Michael has written a new song called "I Played The Fool," the official theme for the HBO Original series Rooster (starring Steve Carell). The song is available now on all major digital streaming platforms.
     
    “I Played The Fool” marks Michael's first new song in three years. The haunting and emotionally charged theme captures the spirit of Rooster, blending Michael's unmistakable voice with Watt’s powerful contemporary production.

    “I’m thrilled to lend my voice to ‘Rooster,’” Michael says. “As a giant fan of everyone involved, it’s a real honor to be included with ‘I Played The Fool.’” And Watt shares, “Michael Stipe is a hero of mine. A chance to write a song with him was that of a dream... He is one of the true great songwriters of this lifetime, and he did what only he could do on this song.”
     
    The song also features Travis Barker on drums and Josh Klinghoffer on guitar and piano. Anchored by Barker’s driving percussion and Klinghoffer’s atmospheric instrumentation, the track delivers a striking and cinematic opening to Rooster, establishing the tone for the HBO series with a blend of raw emotion, modern rock energy, and timeless songwriting.
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Hey BC!

    I haven't gotten it together to blast some more Hoopla stuff at you, but here's what I have to say currently on this fab Bandcamp Friday.

    1) my good friend and essential Minus 5 member Joe Adragna has a brand new THE JUNIOR LEAGUE album! Heavily recommended!

    thejuniorleague.bandcamp.com/album/the-moon-neither-noticed-nor-ignored

    2) In Scott The Hoople news, I'll be performing at this year's SOLID SOUND festival. What an honor! Thanks so much to pals and best band ever WILCO!

    Also, by popular demand, I'm hard at work preparing a re-issue/update of SPAIN CAPERS, the first ever Scott The Hoople release. Long out-of-print and for some reason desirable. Mott forever!!

    That's about all now. Watch for YFF tour news and more releases, because I'm sure there will be some. That's what I do.

    Hang in there, people. Things MUST get better! Peace, love, understanding, Scott
