    REK

    saw that eric church is opening one of the floore's shows. gross. of all the people i would've guessed for an opener, he would not be on the list.

    Covers Good and Bad

    always liked type o negative's cover of cinnamon girl.

    Vinyl

    water, dish soap and a sponge is the easiest way to clean records. you don't need a fancy machine.
  4. wanted to see the sword this weekend but wtf $133 a day for this shitty festival at far out lounge? pass.

    Vinyl

    how the hell do you have time to put your entire collection into discogs? I've never even considered it a possibility.
  6. Billy Howerdel at Emo's last night. He's the songwriter/guitarist for A Perfect Circle. Love his new album, very 80's Depeche Mode/Cure sound going on. He played the entire album and it sounded really good live, his voice suits the music perfectly. The touring drummer couldn't be there and Josh Freese filled in, always a treat to watch him play. Also had Danny Lohner, formerly of NIN, on guitar. Low turnout, maybe 100 people there...which feels empty in the giant cavern of Emo's. Excellent show though
  7. anselmo has been playing pantera songs for a while with his band. got no problem with that but it's not right to add rex and call it pantera. would i still go? sure.
  8. the rabbit at LPG was the one thing i didn't really find amazing. it was fine, but thought everything else was a lot better.
  9. i was at hole in the wall on a friday night a couple months back and it was completely dead. thought it was a perfect example of people lamenting the loss of old austin while simultaneously not frequenting old austin establishments.
  10. abraxas is a great album, and this song seems appropriate...
  11. went to hi sign's new location on friday night. not sure where the money came from but it's fancy...and there were more people there than I ever saw at the old location.

    Vinyl

    went to the most overpriced record store i've ever seen in nola a couple weeks ago, peaches records. started browsing through the new releases and didn't find anything under $60. figured i would check out the used section...best of the doobie brothers $50, wtf? talked to some folks working at other record stores around town and the consensus seems to be that it's a drug front because ain't nobody payin those prices.

    Pink Floyd

    the nick mason setlist is really good, looking forward to that one more than roger waters...but excited about both.
  14. Shaya is another option right there around the corner, personally liked it better than LPG.
  15. was there last week and had a fanstastic meal at a place i hadn't seen mentioned here, shaya. the fried chicken hummus was incredible. also really enoyed the $5 happy hour old fashioneds at barrel proof.
  16. can't believe he's started playing "everything" live. that song is truly terrible.
  17. ty segall saturday night at mohawk. he started out acoustic and the music from cheer up charlies next door was pretty much drowning him out, so that sucked. sound was much better once he brought the full band out and went electric. there were some solid moments but overall it wasn't the best ty segall show i've seen...probably didn't help that i only knew about 3 songs out of the whole set.
  18. Saw helmet during sxsw on 6th street in an empty lot in the early 00's. Don't remember exactly where it was but I remember people climbing up a chain link fence and jumping off into the pit.

    Mexican

    that place has been there for a few months...i've never seen anyone in there. went in there once and they gave us free samples of basically everything they had. baklava was by far the best thing.

    High

    very much still checking for the drugs.
  21. saw jimmy buffett at the moody arena on saturday night. arena is nice...plenty of bars and bathrooms, rows were wide enough to walk by someone without them standing up. sound is still shit...plenty loud but muddy as fuck. concert was fun, lots of old drunk people having a good time. was surprised he had about 12 people on stage. voice still sounds fine. also $12.50 for a bud light and $14 for a budweiser...apparently budweiser is premium. wtf.

    2022 Albums

    billy howerdel, best known as songwriter and guitarist for a perfect circle, released a solo album today. it's very 80's depeche mode/cure sounding synthwave type stuff. pretty good.

    Port Aransas

    Had a nice trip last weekend to Mustang Island. Ate at saltwater grill, black diamond, and Paul's...all were excellent.
