    Alice in Chains

    for some reason the cd warehouse by my house when i was growing up had tons of AIC bootlegs. i listened to this one a LOT. it was actually what got me into david bowie. bunch of demos and live tracks.

    Sammiches

    meatball sub at pinthouse is good, but not $15 good.
  3. Listening to records this weekend and I noticed 2 occurences of this. I'm sure there are many more... 1. Tom Petty- U Get Me High. 1:13 in the video clearly calling back to Don't Fade On Me from Wildflowers. "I remember feeling this way you can lose it without knowing. You wake up and you don't know which way the wind is blowing". 2. Spoon- They Want My Soul. 2:17 call back to Jonathan Fisk.

    Drive-By Truckers

    cleaning out some old shit and found this sticker. don't remember where they came from but there's one for each member of the band. must've come with a cd or something.

    Oldies

    also grew up listening to 98.7 kluv in dallas. was also a big fan of twine time with paul ray. have a huge oldies playlist that i listen to frequently. one of my favorites...

    Alice in Chains

    never saw nirvana but i did see all the others. stp at bronco bowl in 2000 is one of my favorites. weiland was a great frontman when he wasn't drugged out of his mind...and probably sometimes when he was. love that he had a running feud with andy langer, because fuck andy langer.

    Alice in Chains

    AIC with Layne is one I really wish I could've seen. Have seen them several times since his death and it's still really good but just not the same.
  9. y'all checked out the deluxe edition of they want my soul? always like listening to the home demos. https://pitchfork.com/news/spoon-reissue-they-want-my-soul-for-10th-anniversary/
  10. we hiked into crater lake, near platoro.
  11. did some backpacking in southern colorado last week, south san juan wilderness. got a shitload of rain but it was overnight every time. beetle kill is a bummer.
  12. franconia kolsch was good when it first came out but i haven't thought of them in years. just got back from CO. backcountry pizza in boulder had pliny for president. bierstadt slow pour pils still delicous. brought back a full cooler of shit we can't get in tx...weldworks, la cumbre, bierstadt, trve, etc. also hadn't thought about ska brewing in a long time but it was everywhere.

    Pearl Jam

    wow, you're full of shit vedder. he's gone from fighting ticketmaster to defending egregiously high ticket prices. https://www.pearljamonline.it/en/eddie-vedder-on-pearl-jam-ticket-prices-its-essential-for-us-to-at-least-cover-our-costs/
  16. ccr greatest hits was a staple on road trips when i was a kid. was shocked when i learned that ccr was from the bay area and not born on the bayou.
  17. never made it to alamo springs cafe, guess i can mark that one off the to do list. https://www.mysanantonio.com/food/article/alamo-springs-cafe-closes-19612899.php
  18. car lost power and died while cruising north on I-35 through downtown yesterday evening. coasted down the 6th street exit ramp into the chevron there at 6th street and I-35 next to the wendy's. had 2 dogs with us so we couldn't sit in the car because it was hot as hell. as soon as we got out of the car to call the tow truck it was like a scene from night of the living dead with all the homeless zombie people stumbling towards us muttering incoherently. having two 75 lb dogs with us helped, they were definitely wary of the dogs. walked down to the whole foods market at 5th and brushy to wait for the tow truck. was one of the more concerning situations i've experienced in austin in a while.

    Pearl Jam

    stopped at a dispensary in portland back in may. the 20 something girl working there asked what we were doing in town, told her we were there to see pearl jam. her response, "oh, isn't that the monster truck rally?". this is a thing with the youth these days, they've never heard of any bands from the 90's. i think it's partially because they don't listen to the radio. i was jamming led zeppelin and pink floyd by the time i was 13, and those bands were certainly before my time.
  20. my parents recently bought a new microwave and needed help getting rid of the old one. i picked it up for them and noticed it was the same GE microwave i remembered from childhood. the date on the back was 1979...a 45 year old microwave! it still works too, the only reason they got a new one was because the interior light went out.

    Downtown eats

    you haven't done that in a while. post covid they close at 11pm.
  22. any of y'all in austin got a pet sitter you can recommend for 2 large dogs? my parents usually watch them but my mom caught the cancer so i don't want to dump my dogs on them right now. i've used rover a couple times but it's been hit or miss.
  23. saw wand at the parish on friday night. it was the release date for their new album and they played a bunch of new stuff. wish i could've gotten more familiar with the album before seeing them but it was still good. the parish is a strange venue but the sound was good.
