    Pearl Jam

    put in my request for nashville, won't be too upset if i don't get it. don't care about visiting any of those other cities.

    Beef ribs

    had some brined beef short ribs in the freezer that I ended up not cooking for the 4th of july. decided to cook them on saturday. took 11 hours before they were done, which seemed excessive. i had pulled them out of the freezer on wednesday so i guess there's a chance they were still a little frozen in the center? anyway, they turned out great.
  4. watched the documentary yesterday. never would have considered steely dan yacht rock (and still don't). but i think that's mainly because i like steely dan and consider most of the other bands in the doc to be...not good. by the time they got to the de la soul stuff i was bored, but it was mostly entertaining.
  5. this one's been stuck in my head all week...
  6. saw james mcmurtry solo acoustic on wednesday night at the continental club gallery. obviously he can turn a phrase but his guitar chops are also impressive. mostly played a 12 string but also busted out the 8 string and 6 string for a few songs. man, that 12 string sounded good. played two 45 minutes sets.
  7. Good to see they finally opened the new lot. The last couple of times i've gone to cattail the barricade at the end of that road was closed.
  8. That road and parking lot has been closed for years. You have to park on Ross Maxwell these days, making it an even longer hike.
  9. here's a good interview with stan lynch, benmont tench, and mike campbell. campbell's comments about howie epstein are interesting. sounds like stan was the whipping boy of the group, or at least he saw it that way. https://rockcellarmagazine.com/tom-petty-and-the-heartbreakers-long-after-dark-mike-campbell-benmont-tench-stan-lynch-interview/
  10. the bonus material on the long after dark deluxe release is good.
  11. wore hiking boots when i was there last month and had no issues, even ate at a few fancyish places. no one seemed to care about dress code.

    Texas BBQ

    hit up 2 places over the weekend 1. bcooper bbq on manor. it's a food truck in the back of a pickleball club...that should've been enough of a red flag i guess. brisket was dry af and tough, lots of unrendered fat. same story with the baby back ribs, tough and dry. would not go back. 2. mum foods. had the pastrami and some pork ribs. pastrami was very good but the pork ribs were remarkably delicious. perfectly cooked and great bark. some of the best ribs i've had in a long time.
  13. the "pop up" style of drain stopper that seems to be prevalent these days where you have to stick your hand into the dirty sink water in order to release the stopper. this is not an improvement.
  14. he really seems like the eric clapton of his generation in this regard.
  15. saw the black crowes last night at acl live. say what you will about chris robinson but he still sounds great and puts 100% into the show. rich seemed as unamused as ever. they were good but i don't think i need to see them again any time soon.
  16. i'm curious about that because there were several blank stars in prime spaces. i'm sure somebody used to have a star there. maybe they didn't pay their rent.

    Vinyl

    i had no idea this existed until finding it in the new arrivals bin at amoeba. definitely has a steely dan demos feel. not as polished or complex as their later work but still interesting.
  18. unintentionally visted the tp&hb star on the walk of fame while in hollywood for the gilmour concert. would like to know exactly how that thing got cracked.
  19. this is true for most audiophile equipment
  20. damn, just read that la kiva closed again at the end of july with no plans to reopen. sounds like the place was a money pit.
  21. levitation next year will be sep 25-28. other than the consistently great lineup, the cool weather and halloween vibes were the best things they had going. maybe there's a great reason but i don't understand the move.
  22. it's not like pizza and beer is a unique idea, but it's truly amazing how much pinthouse ripped off pizza port. from the picnic tables and arcade games to the ocean theme and children running around everywhere. it was like being in austin except in san diego.

    Pink Floyd

    i settled on this one just because it's so incredibly weird...and it has the hollywood bowl dates on the back. the rest of them looked like they were designed in a junior high photoshop class.

    Pearl Jam

    finally found PJ20 on vinyl at amoeba hollywood for a resonable price. i love that record store, always have to set my spending limit before i walk in the door.
