  1. it's avril lavigne for the current generation, with slightly better songwriting...maybe.
  2. just picture a stage in the middle of a holiday market and that's the vibe. they do sell alcohol and the majority of people are not there for the music.
  3. That was a monster setlist. I was standing right next to the "first it giveth" guy. Fucking Mexicola too! Holy hell that was good. Spiritualized was pretty low energy but I enjoyed it, qotsa was just on another level entirely. Homme seemed like he was loving it. Glad we got a song for the dead closer, they didn't play it when I saw them a couple months ago...Jon Theodore is an absolute beast. Shit, the whole band was impressive. Might have been the best concert of the year for me.
  4. reeeeaaaally fucking excited about qotsa and spiritualized tonight. qotsa has been extremely tight this tour.

    Texas BBQ

    yep, they showed the process on their instagram stories. looks like it's smoked, chilled, then fried. the breading had a nice crunch and then you got the good smoky flavor at the end. definitely a once a year type of meal.

    Texas BBQ

    Last night was the chicken fried beef rib at stiles switch. Decadent and glorious.
  7. my problem with this season is that i don't have anyone to root against, and also don't care who wins. these people are boring.
  8. any brewery named after diarrhea deserves to go out of business.
  9. haymaker is another option
  10. saw the rodeo boys last night. discovered them last sxsw and thought they were excellent. definitely a 90's throwback guitar rock sound with some great bass lines. they played at 6:30pm opening for a bunch of shitty pop punk bands but there was a decent crowd there, hopefully they gained some fans. said they'll be back for sxsw this year.
  11. it's better than nothing, but don't expect much.
  12. woke up yesterday morning to find one of the mutts swollen faced to the point of not being able to open her eyes. 2 rounds of benadryl and she was back to normal by this morning. i'm guessing she got stung or bit by something but i couldn't find any obvious spots. not sure, but she sure was funny looking.

    Burgers

    pterry's at capital plaza is the only one i ever frequent and i haven't noticed any decline. it's as mediocre as ever but is perfect for a late night burger and is about 1000x faster than whataburger.
  14. had this happen to me in dallas. i ignored it and nothing ever happened.

    Pink Floyd

    this syd barrett box set finally arrived last week. syd really wrote some striking, unique music. there are some genuinely good songs and also some songs that sound like the ramblings of a man going insane. i'm glad gilmour was patient enough to work with syd and produce these albums, his accounts of these sessions sound very frustrating but ultimately produced some worthwhile albums.

    Vinyl

    basically every record label in existence is doing at least 25% off. i've already ordered way too much stuff.
  17. there's video of her walking from the helicopter to the ambulance so she couldn't have been that seriously injured. whole thing doesn't make sense.

    Burgers

    lebowski's grill at highland lanes. the hideout across mopac from the domain.
  19. Floor is the only way to go at the moody center if you are willing to stand the whole time. Sound down there is great. We started in section 111 and the sound was good, moved over to 107 and the view was better but there was definitely a lot of echo. I've never had a problem finding my seats, it tells you which portal to use on your ticket and finding your section seems pretty straightforward from there.
  20. Got dragged to the national by the lady friend. That crowd was terrible. So many people talking through the music and endless arguments about people standing up. We moved to one of the empty sections on the side a few songs into the set. I generally find the national very boring. Live show was slightly better but still didn't do much for me.
