    Texas BBQ

    kg bbq. brisket was not good. unrendered fat, tough, dry. sliced way too thick...received 1 slice that was a half lb. lamb chop was good but nothing special, not a lot of flavor. ribs were the best thing with a nice sweet glaze but could've used more savory flavor. sides were good. unimpressed overall.
  2. $75 for a day pass doesn't seem unreasonable. you're gonna be paying at least half that to see any one of those headliners on their own.
  3. when was the last time you had a lone star? the puzzles were briefly paused and then came back like 2 years ago.
  4. they've been teevee, wurve, and now daiistar. i've liked all of the incarnations.

    Burgers

    buddha burger. quite solid, would eat again. the chicken, bacon, ranch sandwich was also delicious.
  6. saw mac sabbath on saturday. hilarious. they fully commit to the bit and theatrics...sort of like seeing gwar.
  7. most importantly, that's not a cover.

    Vinyl

    it's great, and huge. you'll find everything from filthy $1 records to super expensive obscure shit. i like to go on sunday when the vendors are offering discounts to unload the records they don't want to take home. i always have to set a spending limit before i go in there.

    austin record convention may 3-4. plan accordingly.
  10. the opening line to the song is "killing in the name of"
  11. assigning seats at the taco reward and then placing the advantage directly in front of eva is some bullshit. i become more convinced each season that the show is largely scripted and guided by the producers.
  12. clearly they aren't selling tickets. i don't know why they insist on doing this the same weekend as psych fest again. why unneccesarily compete with another local festival?
  13. my morning jacket was excellent last night. i saw them a ton between 2000-2008 but somehow haven't seen them live in over 15 years. they haven't lost a step. was pleasantly surprised how heavy the set was on songs from Z. i've been enjoying the new album and was hoping for river road, didn't get that one but i enjoyed squid ink a lot. still don't like moody amphitheater, the sound was ass for the first several songs and I don't think it was ever loud enough.
  14. sturgill was incredible. i didn't think there was a chance in hell i was going to sit through 3.5 hrs of music but i never got bored. turtles all the way down>livin the dream was my personal highlight. thought all of the songs off the latest album sounded really good as well, glad i got to hear one for the road. the number of covers, teases, and heavy jams was ridiculous...didn't realize they had leaned so hard into jamming. crowd was kind of terrible but that's not surprising. it was about 75% dudes, lots of jamband frat bros that wouldn't shut up.
  15. mikal cronin and ty segall solo acoustic last night. really enjoyed mikal cronin's set, i'm a fan of his solo stuff and he rarely ever plays it. ty segall was good but i didn't totally love his acoustic style, thought he was too aggressive a lot of the time and needed to let the songs breathe a bit.
  16. i was always of the opinion she made his band sound worse when she joined them, but no one seemed to agree with me at the time.
  17. amyl and the sniffers last night at stubb's was GREAT. that band can rip and the lead singer has huge energy. everyone there seemed to be having a wonderful time...it was actually nice to not be sweaty as balls at a sold out stubbs show. ty segall tonight. sturgill tomorrow night. was supposed to go to st vincent tomorrow but sturgill wins that battle.
  18. went poking around trying to find old recordings and found this person's google drive of rare and unreleased songs. lots of good stuff in there. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14ab45LEmq7sfN0a37nyhL4mG3pvMZQnb
  19. learned about his from mike campbell's book...this is their 6th gig ever, opening for al kooper in boston. it was recorded and released by shelter records as "official live 'leg". they only had a handful of songs at this point and were scraping to get by. later on this tour they were threatened by al kooper to turn down the intensity of their performance or get booted off the tour. tp said fuck you, we're not changing shit. all the songs from this ep can be found on youtube, there are a couple songs that never made it onto a record. U.S. version (Shelter/ABC TP-12677): "Jaguar and Thunderbird" – 2:28 "Fooled Again (I Don't Like It)" – 5:17 "Luna" – 4:17 "Dog on the Run" – 9:22 U.K. version (Shelter/Island IDJ-24): "Jaguar and Thunderbird" – 2:28 "Fooled Again (I Don't Like It)" – 5:17 "The Wild One, Forever" – 4:40 "Luna" – 4:17 "Dog on the Run" – 9:22

    Pearl Jam

    the fan 2 fan tickets for this tour are just not popping up the same as last tour. every time i see a pair they're gone by the time i click on them. hopefully more action as we get closer.
  21. mike campbell has a new book, started reading it a couple days ago. i've only gotten through his childhood up to meeting tp and forming mudcrutch but it's been interesting.
  22. good 3 day run next weekend: 4/5 amyl & the sniffers 4/6 ty segall and mikal cronin acoustic 4/7 st vincent and glass beams
  23. ate at this place last night... -fried onion petals: delicious, best thing we had. -burger: extremely tiny burger for $8. barely larger than a slider, it was decent but you could go around the corner to pterry's or hilbert's and get a better burger for cheaper. seriously can't overstate how tiny the burger was, and it didn't come with fries. -picadillo burrito: almost entirely devoid of meat. i thought they had accidentally given us a bean burrito but upon closer inspection there were tiny pieces of meat in there. very disappointing. 2 cocktails, 1 beer, and the food above came out to $68, and it wasn't enough food for 2 people. we left and went across the highway to silver medal where we had 2 beers and 2 hot dogs for $16.
