  1. Why? Because Chrissie Hynde, that's why.
  2. FB friend of my wife posted about 50 minutes ago, her (the friend's) mother lives next to an RV park in Elgin and said there was a shooting and now police have the whole area sealed off, friend said that the suspect lived there so sounds like something going down
  3. Don't think these were posted, if so, listen again. It's become a cliche, but man, back in the day, Monday nights rocked.
  4. Thought I still had a couple of these...
  5. Sweetwater Brewing H.A.Z.Y. IPA, for my birthday
  6. So I'm gonna throw out some bands and if you thoughts on any of them I'd like to hear them, steer me toward something. I've tried them and I just can't find the right thing I guess. Renaissance (too much on the folk side for me) Gentle Giant (kind of get that Mike Oldfield/jazz fusion feel from them) Tangerine Dream (just getting into them, I like what I've heard so far, need to just give them a good run on Spotify and how much I can handle) Camel - now these guys, I've only heard 1 song, back in high school (early 80's), had it on a mix tape recorded off the radio (KPFT in Houston) with no idea who it was, until maybe 10 years ago when I could finally google the lyrics, this tune I really like, has a kind of David Gilmour first solo album feel to it... any others you can think of, I'll give anything a listen (point of reference, I'd go Floyd-Genesis-Rush-Yes-King Crimson in that order as far as personal preference goes, but I also love Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, Zappa, just always looking for something "different")
  7. Yeah and they made you look all cool and shit when you had one sticking out the side of your mouth in third grade...
  8. Never realized how much I liked cinnamon as a kid.
  9. Wife got hers Tuesday and it knocked her on her ass for 2 days, brother got his Thursday, his fever just broke. 22 hours into Moderna #2 for me - nuthin. No aches, no fever, no chills, barely-noticeable sore arm. Got the good strong Czech genes I guess, strong as bull!
  10. I think so, they've tried to branch out to more "modern" movies it seems, The Big Chill is on tomorrow.
  11. 31 Days of Oscar starts today. Going A-Z this year just fyi. All the King's Men, Almost Famous, An American in Paris and Anatomy of a Murder up tonight.
  12. The correct answer is the Wolverhampton Wanderers, who beat Leicester 3-1
  13. Florida man threatens to destroy everyone... with an army of turtles
  14. Just gonna go ahead and blanketly add every fucking commercial during March Madness, because you're gonna see them a million times. Some hipster shit "tika-tika-tika-tika" ATT iPhone commercial just stabbed me in the eardrum. Why does every iphone commercial have to have the most obscure, hipster, too cool for you music imaginable. I like music, all kinds, I wouldn't listen to any of that shit.
  15. That's kind of strange. Any particular song showing an uptick in audience streams or listeners? I know sometimes one of our tunes will get shared on Facebook or a blog and it gets way more plays than it normally would...
  16. Man, finally after 13 months we're getting to play a live gig again this coming Saturday night. The last one was last February for the Patek (as in Joe Patek for those who know) family reunion, that was a blast. Here's one of their most famous numbers... And to shake the rust off we had a rehearsal on Sunday and wound up doing a little livestream at the end. Our accordion player is still not comfortable being out in public much so no accordion here, we will have a sub sitting in on Saturday, but this is really a side project (as I mentioned before), just the rest of the band, hoping to record a CD in the next couple of months using the guitars for rhythm, more of a looser, country sound thatn we would normally have. It's not perfect, we were pretty tired but we had fun...
