  1. steely dan at acl live last night. donald fagan's voice is pretty weak and he's letting the backup singers prop him up a lot...otherwise the band is tight as hell and they sounded fantastic. setlist isn't all that different from the last time i saw them but i'll take it.
  2. Finally crossed Devils River off the list. Spent 3 nights in the state natural area last weekend. Finnegan Springs is an incredibly beautiful area...up to 25,00 gallons per minute at its peak (although it was only at 10,000 gpm when we were there). There's about a 200 yard stretch of crystal clear and cold ankle deep water flowing over limestone with water bubbling out of the ground about every 10 yards. The roads in the park are pretty rough, wouldn't attempt it without high clearance. The second night we were out there we heard a mountain lion screaming on the ridge above our campsite, scariest thing I've ever heard while camping...straight up demon noises.
  3. i must've caught the wrong jack white tour. saw him at COTA a couple years ago and it was mediocre at best. very lackadaisical performance.
  4. saw golden dawn arkestra at the sahara lounge last night, a "secret" show. always cool to see a big band in a tiny venue like that. lots of dancing.

    Your Favorite Song

    tough to pick one, but this may be it...
  6. also many of the breweries RIP'd in this thread are actually still in business. apparently there's a very loose RIP standard.
  7. considered it, not sure how crazy the line will be. have seen them a few times and they put on an entertaining show.
  8. hell yes, mastodon and ghost. i'm in.

    Texas BBQ

    Stopped at City Market in Luling on the way to Palmetto State Park...made for a good picnic. Still my favorite ribs anywhere, sausage was excellent and brisket was good but a step below the other meats. 30 minute line at 1:00, mostly locals. No longer cash only.
  10. just spent a week in arkansas. was planning on a buffalo river trip but we got heavy storms and the river was too high, made for good waterfalls though. had never spent any time there, was quite beautiful...but my god the ticks were terrible. all of the campgrounds we stayed at were virtually empty. we did shady lake>white rock mtn>long pool>steel creek>devil's den state park. devil's den is basically the garner state park of arkansas. bunch of ccc buildings/trails and a shitload of campsites by the river. stll need to get back for a river float.
  11. saw king hannah at mohawk indoors last night. they're a britich psychedelic folk/shoegaze/alternative band. all of their songs have a slow burn atmospheric lazy dream feel to them, almost trip hop. have been enjoying their latest album but thought the live show was even better. stood in line to buy an album after the show and had to witness every dude in line hit on the singer and have their album signed. jesus, just buy your fucking merch and move on. she was clearly encouraging it though.
  12. yeah that was the smallest pit area i've ever seen
  13. Suckin on the blood from the devil's dick
  14. ween was great last night. perfect night for an outdoor show, great setlist, great fans...every person in the seated area was standing up the entire time, as you would expect at a rock show. first time i saw ween was at the first bonnaroo in 2002, 20 fucking years ago. glad they're still a band. coon dog, groundhog, poop log.
  15. nope, got out of there at 10:00 when the outside shows ended.
  16. amyl and the sniffers at hotel vegas was wild. straight up rock show with endless energy. openening band, coffin, was also very entertaining. never miss an aussie band playing in austin, they love it here.
  17. where's the rescheduled austin date from nye? on one hand i'm glad i got the chance to digest this album before hearing these songs live...but damn give us a date already that doesn't involve being downtown on a weekday at noon to purchase tickets. still loving the shit out of this album though.
  18. 4/26 amyl and the sniffers 4/28 ween
  19. saw that bjm got all their gear stolen last night. have always wanted to like them but i found the lead singer to be intolerable the one time i saw them live.
  20. Poor man's prime rib. 3 lb chuck roast, 2 hrs on the smoker and 30 hrs sous vide. Damn good.
  21. New covers album and maybe new music next year. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/black-crowes-new-music-tour-dates-money-maker-anniversary-1972-1335097/

    Arrowhead Hunting

    not into artifcats but i went to a paid dig site in elgin this weekend for my buddy's 40th birthday. used a sifting table to sift through sand all day and didn't find shit. basically paid to get sandblasted and sunburned. place was a giant sand pit that had been excavated to hell...the property lines were about 8 feet lower than the surrounding neighbors. there were some sketchy meth head folks out there digging holes all day. this will not be my new hobby.
  23. sour duck has a great frozen and a nice patio.
  24. At least we can all agree they were definitely hair metal.
