  1. anyone needs tickets for ghost let me know. i've got a pair on the floor
  2. Saturnalia was once again a really good time. There must have been fewer than 500 people there each day, which is a shame because they clearly expected more, but it's also why it was so enjoyable. Friday: Billy King and the Bad Bad Bad (Austin): Solid as always, their guitarist is incredible. Nolan Potter's Nightmare band (Austin): Zappa-esque jazz/rock fusion. Crazy time signatures and good hooks. Liked them a lot. Continental Drift (Austin): Funk mixed with latin psych, very talented musicians. Enjoyable but a little repetitive. Saturday: Being Dead (Austin)- Two piece lo-fi pscyh folk. Not really my thing. Sunbuzzed (Denton)- Chicks playing garage rock with a lot of screaming. Not bad. Wild Bill and the Lost Knobs (Austin): Had a Dough Sahm groovy country vibe on some songs, more cow-punk on others. Did a killer cover of the Butthole Surfers "Pepper" that may have been the heaviest thing I heard all weekend. Octopus Project (Austin): They haven't done it for me the past couple times I've seen them but this set was excellent. Watching her play the theremin is great. Golden Dawn Arkestra (Austin): Always a good time. Like pfunk mixed with the cult aspect of polyphonic spree. Good psychedelic jazz/funk with about 20 people on stage. Sunday: Creation Factory (LA): 60's style garage psych. Not overly inspiring but pretty solid. Modular Sun (Austin): more garage psych, this time with synth. not bad. The Sun Machine (Austin): 60's garage psych again. good, but nothing to set them apart from anyone else. Lumerians (San Francisco): instrumental space rock, very synth heavy and droning. they performed in sequined robes and hoods with their faces fully obscured and two red lights for eyes. thought they were really good. Mystic Braves (LA): remind me a lot of the Allah Las, garage beach psych. they were awesome, definitely the best garage psych band of the day.
  3. I like that Bass Concert Hall posted this message for the Ghost concert...for a band that sells masks at their merch table: Fans are encouraged to dress up, but please note no full-face masks, sharp objects, or weapons are permitted.

  5. saturnalia festival this weekend. it was pretty awesome last year, mostly local acts...discovered several good bands. i expect the same this year.
  6. definitely a crapshoot. last time i went in december it never got above 35 degrees anywhere in the park. hiking in the cold isn't too bad as long as you're prepared, you can see a lot of the desert that just isn't possible during the heat of the summer.
  7. It had been on my list for a long time too, finally made it happen. PM sent.
  8. You can hike to the narrows legally but it's a long one. Did it back in August, worth it.

    Vinyl

    Breakaway is good. Blk vinyl is a relatively new spot on far east 6th. They only have used records, it's fairly small but I've found good stuff every time I've been in there.
  10. tv on the radio at stubb's. it was cold and raining...but somehow that made it even better. the crowd for the most part stuck it out and braved the rain, even seemed to give people a little more energy. the band, in turn, seemed appreciative that people were willing to stand in the rain to listen to them so they put some extra effort into it. played pretty much the same setlist as when I saw them a few years ago, which is fine. thought the sound was not quite right for the first few songs and wasn't loud enough...they seemed to have solved all of that by the 3rd song though. good show, glad the weather didn't ruin it.
  11. Revolog Rasp
  12. Been into trying out weird film lately
  13. All them witches at antones. I guess their keyboard player quit the band recently. They played a short set, barely an hour, mostly songs off the new album. It was very good, weird to hear those songs without keys though.
  14. also what do you mean by cuisine? are you specifically talking about food..something you would eat for dinner or maybe lunch? is this something you would have when you're really hungry or maybe as a snack?

    Pink Floyd

  16. oh sees friday night at hotel vegas. good, but felt like they got a little bit too jammy and lost their way a few times. kind of unusual for them to stretch out songs like that.
  17. my favorite ones are this method: marinate overnight in mojo criollo and whatever else you like, smoke for ~2hrs, coat with mixture of frank's red hot and butter, throw them on a hot ass grill for a couple minutes to crisp.
  18. based on those 2 songs, she's nothing like courtney barnett.
  19. i was at the red rocks show where that was recorded, it was good but i don't think they played a single song off the first album. looks like they're playing a few more songs from mer de noms lately...even judith. haven't listened to the new album at all.
  20. I've had good luck at whole foods and salt & thyme. You have to ask, they have them in the back.
  21. Spent last week in St Croix. Wasn't sure what to expect but it was quite beautiful and super chill. Hike to the tide pools is highly recommended. Hike to the lighthouse was also pretty cool and there were some very nice deserted beaches on the road out there. Best meal we had was at Bombay in Christiansted. Leatherback brewing had some surprisingly good beers, especially after drinking Presidente all week.
  22. this recipe is excellent. have done it a couple times on the wsm and it's always turned out great. http://robbwalsh.com/2009/03/serious-bbq-barbacoa-de-borrego/
  23. tx gentlemen at justine's last night. they did a lot of jamming and it was excellent. got some grateful dead vibes on a few tunes. crowd was small and very energetic...there was an honest to god dance off that happened. really enjoyed the opener too, rattlesnake milk.
