Nasty day here in Miserable City, USA, so allow me to cheer you up.

Daniel Johnston in Philly! One of indie music’s most enigmatic and brilliant artists will perform at The Trocadero on Feb 22. Ticket info. Check out the film The Devil and Daniel Johnston for a primer and check out his website for more good stuff. Our boy Todd has an interview scheduled with Daniel, should be interesting.

Boss Talk: The Internet’s most beleaguered bots gave UsedWigs a secret little shout in today’s soul-crushing installment. Listen to the Chris Harding podcast to find out what it is!

More Mats the Better! Pop Candy has reported “Three Replacements albums and an EP will be reissued in April.” That is awesome news.

The Love Report: Our pal and Renaissance comic — by Renaissance, I mean he does a bunch of different stuff, not that he performs at the festivals — Dave Hill has a lovely little video for you, “Hey guys, why spend another Valentine’s Day alone in your bathroom crying into a sponge? Break the cycle with some help from Dave Hill“.

Mom: A little nudge from your pal Jeff… give your mom a call today, or stop by, or invite her over. Give her hug and thank her for putting up with you and all your nonsense for all these years. Your mom is great. I really miss mine. She was great too.
