  1. Sidenote: makes living in Austin kickass with music options but also means it can be wallet-draining and it pisses off my wife. Can confirm @jimmyjazz does not suffer from this. Pretty sure @KaiserSoze too
  2. I've never suffered from the Taste Freeze phenomenon. I think it's because I've always had really broad taste in music that even in my.college years I would feel out on Van Halen, New Order, Eric Dolphy, Hello man, The Dead Milkmen, Dvorak, Front 242, Sisters of Mercy, INXS and everything in-between. When Bearshare rolled around, it's possible I may have enjoyed thousands of songs, many of which I had never heard. I was introduced to the brilliance of Thievery Corporation, DJ Cam, Kruder & Dorfmeister, DJ Shadow and more. So now... I still really love new music. ACL and Levitation are great because you get to see bands you know and then discover a bunch of new bands. So, I don't understand the Taste Freeze concept but see it allll the time. I don't get it. It's people getting a case of the olds and you see it in full force when the ACL lineup drops. Levitation seems to draw a more "open, crowd. Thoughts? I'm just north of 50, for context. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/55096/20150527/spotify-study-finds-that-musical-taste-stagnates-at-age-33.htm
  3. Kick his ass, Sea Bass
  4. and it looks like they'll be opposite Dua Lipa Was listening to Sir Chloe today... really good sound. Going to be mid-day on Friday based on that poster. And I'm thinking the Mannequin Pussy timing may be good for Friday.
  5. Yeah, the whole "escape from Belarus" angle is inspiring.
  6. Went to this place on Sunday... really nice. They were a bit overwhelmed with the Mother's Day crowd buy good food and very reasonable prices. https://www.austinchronicle.com/food/2023-07-14/rose-gose-brings-continental-flair-to-austin/ Next to Jewboy Burgers on Airport.
  7. 1000% intentional. His buddy recorded the whole thing.
  8. Ah belly flops... Diving board is one of the best parts of BSP. So, last summer these two guys were doing some amazing dives and wowing the usual spectator crowd. Anyway, towards the end, one guy signaled to the other that he was ready to go so they talked about one last dive. Guy #1 goes and stands in line while Guy #2 waits to the side, by the ladder, with his camera phone. Anyway, its finally Guy #1's turn. I'm behind him in line so next up. He jumps up, gets an amazing amount of air and lands flat and I mean F L A T onto the water with his arms to his side. Picture this (below) but coming from about 10 feet in the air and landing straight down on the water. I cannot describe the sound of him hitting the water and the crowd's reaction. It was brutal. I could not even climb up the stairs for a good 30 seconds. Really hard to describe. The guy finally came up the ladder looking like he was two tone... red on one side, white on the other. Unbelievable.
  9. The legend of E. King Gill Of course aggy memorializes everything...
  10. Well, I'm pretty sure its in the news... quick Google search below. Also, maybe it was a cyber attack, maybe it wasn't. Let the smart people sort it out. The investigators don't have to tell us everything. Maybe that's your clue that it may not have been a cyber attack if they didn't rush out immediately? I don't know.
  11. preacher seat > cannonball (prepare your nads)
  12. I'm going to guess that case of wine I ordered in container #27 to be cooked
  13. Man, I think we all have the same perspective... I love Austin, I hate where it is located, I want to leave but we're kind of stuck for a while for various reasons. At least while we're all here, we see the good side of Austin and do our best not to bellyache because Player's or Dry Creek is gone. Every town changes, every town evolves... some things get better, some things get worse. We're still in the best city in Texas. Fight me. I'll meet you by the diving board and Barton Springs Pool. I'm the one doing a can opener.
  14. 61° Sunny and wonderfully green outside. This morning Austin kicks ass
  15. Supposed to be aggy Benny Hill
  16. I like Kinser. They feel a bit grumpy but prices are fair. I also like picking up on their property (firewood)
  17. Think I'll finally visit this summer and check out the track. I've driven past it but never gone down to tour it.
  18. Sitting in my home office in SW Austin with the window open... listening to the rain and thunder. I'll take this. This is nice. Looks like the worst stuff is staying south and some storms may head to the Lake Travis Watershed... Let's do this...
  19. That's not all they're talking about Sometimes I'm glad I can't see the Capitol Building any more
  20. Its aggy graduation time, y'all! Things gettin' crazy on campus.
  21. I feel like last year's was perpetual 0% with witty graphics of the high pressure dome of death
  22. Feeling darker here in SW Austin but I'm hoping the worst of it does not head this way. I'd like to see a nice training storm sitting over the Lake Travis watershed though. Rain bomb, plz
