  1. ranking lateralus below opiate and undertow is just flat out wrong.
  2. friday night- buzz electro and rickshaw billies burger patrol at the lost well. that was a fucking rock show. buzz electro is bluesy psych rock. rickshaw billies is heavier and really catchy. recommended. then i went over to empire control room and saw think no think. the drummer from the sword is playing with them now, he's good. i liked their set but feel like i need to hear their new album and be more familiar with the songs to really get into it. saturday night- the well at empire control room. they are a lot of fun, head banging sabbath riffs that dont' get old.
  3. Cell phone pics from backpacking/climbing in Colorado last week.
  4. saw the growlers in denver at the ogden theater last weekend. good venue...austin needs more mid size indoor venues like that. they sounded good just wish they would have played more pre chinese fountain material. they still have the weirdest fan base...teenage girls and 30's men.
  5. the well friday night at barracuda. don't know how i hadn't seen these guys until recently, they are exactly the type of stoner blues rock that i like. love their new album and they were fantastic.
  6. Mastodon last night at cota. It was the perfect July evening for an outdoor concert. They were the opener (wtf) and started at 7:40. It was 83 degrees with a nice cool breeze. Played all of crack the skye plus a few more. Sounded fantastic. The place was not very full, lawn was completely closed...I was the only one on my row in section 203. Left after mastodon and was home before 10pm. On the way back to the car had a few people ask me if the show was already over, they were not happy when they learned mastodon had already played.
  7. Def leppard as the headliner over zz top, ghost, and mastodon. Just not right.

    Fried Chicken

    spicy boys is fucking good. had top notch a few weeks ago and it was definitely under seasoned.
  9. can't believe in the year 2019 there is someone earnestly defending korn.
  10. a little more info about celis https://www.brewbound.com/news/celis-brewery-to-be-sold-at-public-auction-on-july-2
  11. for those in austin, there are quite a few sub $20 reserved tickets on stubhub for the mastodon show on tuesday.
  12. Batting practice at Yankee Stadium on Saturday.
  13. The man is fucking magic. God damn that was good. Same stories and schtick from when I saw him 5 years ago but whatever, he's almost 80 and still sounds damn good and is playing 3 hour sets.
  14. sebadoh at the parish. mostly went because i love the parish and hadn't been there in a few years because their booking sucks. took a chance, knowing very little about sebadoh. they started off with lou barlow on guitar and lead vocals...his songs were not good. once they switched instruments and the other guy was on guitar and vocals it was much better. still love the parish, the sound there is excellent.
  15. thanks, yeah i was excited to get those back to see what they looked like. was very surprised and pleased with the results.
  16. My dad gave me his old camera that he hadn't used since the early 80's. There was still a roll of film in the camera so I finished out the roll. Got some pretty wild colors.
  17. saturday night at barracuda: nolan potter's nightmare band: progressive jazz rock. lots of weird time signatures and complex song structure. sometimes they're too out there for me but i liked this set. future punx: sounded like new wave mixed with devo. i liked some of it, particularly at the beginning of their set. by the end of the set i was ready for it to be over. mystery lights: old school garage rock. lead singer has tons of energy and a unique voice, and they write great songs. too bad there weren't many people there. the new album "too much tension" is one of my favorites of 2019.
  18. everyone in the world thinks phish sucks except people who are so stoned they would listen to a vacuum cleaner for 3 hrs.
  19. bought a six pack of sculpin the other day because it was the cheapest I'd seen it in years at $10.99. stopped buying it when they were charging upwards of $18 a sixer. still a good beer. on a related note, as much as I love PHP there's no way in hell i'm ever paying $18 for a 4 pack of their beer.

    Vinyl

    definitely not a fan of LED's on vintage gear.
  21. Damn, glad I saw him a few times. Watch the documentary if you haven't seen it...dude went through some shit and made some great music.
  22. did 3 nights in davis mountains state park last weekend. surprisingly it wasn't very crowded. did the 9 mile sheep pen canyon loop that's on the other side of the highway, really pretty hike. there's some primitive camping over there but it didn't look too great, very open and no shade. jumped in the pool at the indian lodge after my hike and my god that was refreshing (you're not really supposed to do that but nobody was using it and it's there so fuck it). sunsets from skyline drive were very nice. also highly recommend driving the davis mountains scenic loop. forgot how nice it is out there, had been about 12 years since i'd been to that park.
