  1. going tonight. haven't really gotten into the album but figured it would be worth seeing them live.
  2. Picked up some extremely cheap tickets for noel Gallagher and garbage last night at a very empty COTA. Was never a big oasis fan and that set didn't do anything to change my mind. Garbage, however, was surprisingly good. Shirley Manson can still sing and had a great stage presence.

    New Music 2023

    after 1 listen, the new qotsa is already way more enjoyable than the last record.
  4. jerry harrison and adrian belew- it's called the remain in light tour so I assumed they would be playing all of remain in light. that proved not to be the case but they did play several songs off that album plus some other talking heads classics. sounded great. they had a huge band...probably 10 people on stage including backup singers. a different person in the band sang lead vocals for each song and they all did a pretty good job. had never seen adrian belew live, he was every bit as awesome as I anticipated. he has such a unique style. les claypool's fearless flying frog brigade- first off, the band featured both sean lennon and harry waters...pretty interesting to see 2 sons of rock royalty on the same stage. they played all of pink floyd's animals plus about 10 other songs. animals was really fucking good, sean lennon did a great job with the guitar parts. i wasn't familiar with most of the other material they played but it was enjoyable. i also always love getting the opportunity to see mike dillon play percussion.
  5. i was sad when he died becuase people went through a phase of pretending linkin park was good. one of the worst bands ever.

    hole in the wall hasn't had a burger in a long time.
  7. No TX dates so I'll be at the Denver show. Looking forward to the new QOTSA album.
  8. with viagra boys opening? hell yes.
  9. Ziggy turns 8 this month, still going strong. Did a 7 mile hike on Saturday.
  10. Camped at Colorado Bend last weekend. Love the trails at that park. River was browner than normal from the rain, but everything else was green and plenty of wildflowers still blooming. The pit toilet situation was terrible, someone literally took a shit on the floor of the bathroom closest to our campsite, wtf.
  11. Saw this one in Big Bend NP. Patchnose I think?
  12. all them witches tonight at antone's. i know a dude in the hold steady and i wish i could like them, but not my cup of tea.

    Went to the equipment room in austin. Markets itself as a listening room with a very expensive hifi setup. Turns out it's not a listening room at all, just a pretentious bar with an $18 cocktail list and the worst beer selection in the city. They act like they want people to be quiet and listen to music but it was loud as fuck in there with people talking. Cool to look at all their expensive gear but hard pass on going back.
  14. they were actively hiring when we were in town a couple weeks ago. locals seemed to think it would be open before the end of the month.

    levitation fucked up and sent out the new night beats album 2 months early. i was surprised when i received it in the mail, then they sent this email. lol, sure thing. Due to an error at our fulfillment warehouse, your order of NIGHT BEATS - RAJAN shipped early, ahead of its July 14, 2023 release. Our apologies for this mistake. On behalf of the artist we ask that you: - do not open the record until the release date, in order to preserve the record release experience for everyone - do not post about the record on social media until the release date (and delete anything already posted) Generally what we’re asking you is : Can you keep a secret? Let’s keep this record under wraps together until the release date Thank you for your understanding and for your order.
  16. i will say the 2nd half of the south rim hike was hot as fuck, so be prepared. very little shade and even mid 80's feels quite intense up there. we completed the loop in about 6 hours and i drank every bit of the 4 liters of water i took with me.
  17. They were burning off river cane so it was hazy the whole time. 1. Lost mine trail 2. South rim 3. Sunset from the window 4. Santa Elena canyon 5. Fern canyon 6. Pinto canyon road 7. Pool at Chinati Hot Springs
  18. spent 5 nights camped in the basin last week. i generally prefer the backcountry sites but i knew the weather in the basin would be more favorable for camping this time of year. it was hot as hell in the afternoons but the nights and mornings felt great. did several hikes i hadn't done in a long time including the lost mine and south rim. did a couple short desert hikes one morning then spent the aftenoon swimming in santa elena canyon. did a boomerang trip up santa elena to fern canyon one day...wow that place is really amazing. finally made it down pinto canyon road to the chinati hot springs for 2 nights as well and that was super relaxing. excellent trip, will post a few pics later...
