  1. Can anybody fucking tackle tonight?
  2. fucking idoit!
  3. I went over to my parents' house where my ptsd Vietnam vet conspiracy theory nutcase uncle joined us. He sat in my mom's rocker most of the day with his laptop while we watched football. Every few minutes he would look up and say, "did you know..." and then launch into another easily debunked falsehood. My parents go easy around him but I wasn't having it. I would look him in the eyes and say "That's bullshit. Where are you getting your information? Whatever site you are on is full of shit." "Well, it's Youtube." As if that meant that the info was vetted. I would then pull out my phone and show him real sources. He would grow quiet and go back to the laptop and then pop off with the next bit of fiction. What fucking world is he living in? I missed the opportunity but should have said, "do your own research." Dammit.
  4. Isn't @Superhero's firm involved in this? What's the word? Any insider dirt?
  5. I thought this was an incredible movie, especially in today's world of seizure inducing superhero action movies. It's pace & cinematography left room for the story to breath. I had tears in my eyes as it faded to black. I found it profoundly moving.
  6. Saw The Mack's on Friday at Mississippi Studios in Portland. I've seen them a number of times as they are local and this was their best show to date. It's obvious that they've been touring and playing a lot. They were really tight and had new arrangements for their songs that really added to the experience. If you're not familiar with them but like psych/punk you should check them out. I think that they'll grow.

    RIP, Mani

    I love that first album. Obviously, "Fools Gold" is one of the great songs of all time but my favorite is "I Am The Resurrection". The breakdown and jam in the middle of that song really connects with me. RIP Mani.
  8. I feel like I got the full Brian Jonestown Massacre treatment complete with an Anton meltdown and dressing down of the FOH sound guy. He told lots of stories because he had to mess with his amp/pedals between each song for several minutes while the rest of the band waited patiently. I did enjoy having a dual tambourine song with Zia McCabe (Dandy Warhols) jumping onstage to join in the festivities. The opener was Sun Atoms which is a side project of Peter Holmstrom (also from The Dandy Warhols). More psychedelic goodness. Loved it.
  9. Brian Jonestown Massacre tomorrow night
  10. Need a power dome? I know a guy.
  11. I'm flying out of Portland this afternoon to catch Tame Impala in Los Angeles tonight. I can't wait!
  12. Friday I went and saw Wine Lips at The Get Down in Portland. It was actually a really great lineup as all 3 bands were killer. Opening was 40 Feet Tall. They are a local punk band that puts on great live shows. Tons of energy. The middle band, Population II, was unknown to me and made a huge impression. Instant fan. They are a 3 piece french speaking psych rock band from Montreal. They blew me away. Wine Lips, as always, was phenomenal and had everyone bouncing. Great show.
  13. Saw Pixel Grip tuesday at Revolution Hall. It was a parade of bdsm outfits and leather. The performance was great and had the room dancing and bouncing. Tomorrow is Wine Lips at The Get Down. Love them. Gonna get right up front in the pit.
  14. Had a blast in Austin last weekend. Friday- Viagra Boys, Stereolab, & Black Lips As @stc was saying, absurdly packed. We got in the line for a beer with a couple of songs left for Stereolab and finally got a drink just as Black Lips were finishing. Bullshit. Viagra Boys were a blast. I was dressed like a jumbo shrimp and partied with 50 other people dressed as shrimp #shrimptech Saturday - B52's and DEVO I had never been out to the racetrack and everybody kept telling me how shitty traffic and parking was. I had no such issues. The rain caused a short delay so we didn't miss anything. B52's opened and I learned really quickly to not look at the screens on the side of the stage. Kate looked like she had been reanimated from the dead and Fred looked like a mannequin stuffed into a sparkly suit with how stiffly he moved. Cindy looked pretty good for a 68 year old. They sounded pretty good. I spent most of the set taking pictures with randos. I had my disco ball power dome and white jumpsuit on. My buddy was also in a white jumpsuit but with a red power dome. Devo killed it. They are so much fun. I saw them in May at the Cruel World fest in Pasadena and was able to get a lot closer to the stage. I don't like venues as large as this one was. Everywhere felt far away. Sunday - Leon Thomas - was invited to go to an ACL taping. Shockingly, I have never been to a taping. It was fun but I wasn't really into his music. The band members kept trading instruments and they were all really talented but then they would play 90's r&b style music. We left after an hour or so and headed to 29th Street Ballroom to see The Macks. They are my favorite Portland band. Fun as hell. The lead singer ended up hanging upside down from the rafters for the final song. Grabbed some posters for my barage on the way out.
  15. Fuck Cancer Kick its ass MIA
  16. Are you a vampire?
  17. Have we thrown out Jimbo back to LSU? He's rested and ready. I don't understand the Ed O to Oregon State conjecture. I can't imagine a more perverse culture fit.
  18. I bedazzled my power dome for the Devo show in ATX on 11/1. This fucker is heavy. I'll have to get another dome as my daily wearer.
  19. Maalik still looks lost 2 teams later. https://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/2025/10/is-the-maalik-murphy-experiment-over-at-oregon-state.html
