Just a bump that when this weekend is over, we've been summoned off the Bench Marked "W" to play Smedley's new "Metal Mondays" with BROTON on Cleveland's West Side, at 17004 Lorain Ave.
12/1, 9pm. Only 2 bands, so you won't be out too late. No cover, either, if that helps.
Hope to see ya!

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Conan The King, starring an elderly Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It was promised in one of the two previous Conan movies, but never delivered upon.
"Heavy is the head that wears the crown; but that, is another story."
It'd be interesting to see Conan old; + unable to just stomp people.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Sourly amusing to remember that FF + their contemporaries in the 90s had almost no hope of getting airplay on commercial rock radio stations when they came out; bc those stations "Classic Rock" or adjacent, couldn't stand to play any band who formed after 1976.
*Foo Fighters song comes on the car radio*
Her: I can’t believe they’re playing this on the oldies station.
Me: This is a classic rock station.
Her: Same thing.
Me: *stops car* Get out.

The last bit of crazy fun in every sumo tournament: the winner's Random Fish Picture.
This pic is unique in the small size of the gathering; Master Ajigawa's stable is a fairly new + small one, so the supporters' group (in rows behind) is not large, yet.

Kudos to the pirate sumo streamer we watched, for not only showing the giving out of All The Ugly Trophies, but going all the way to Aonishiki and Yoshinofuji getting in the parade car + taking off from the arena.
MVP work. 🏆🏆🏆

Album 1, track 1 gets some love. 💙
This song was also our set list-opener for our first couple years; serving to lighten the mood of a show, and showing the influence on us of old-time Cleveland-area rockers The James Gang.
Thanks for rediscovering it! 🙏🍻🍻🍻🍻

We thought we were out; but they pulled us back in!
12/1- Smedley's, Lorain Ave. near Kamms Corners, in CLEVELAND.
Been tapped to add our BS to their new "Metal Mondays" series (despite just being sorta "hard rock", but don't snitch us out 😅).
Anyway, let's do one more, for '25...

He is gone 💔
(I don't really know what to say right now. Charlie isn't getting any better. For a while I thought maybe he was but I was wrong. He just cannot fight off this infection and is struggling so much. We are taking him into the vets this evening and will be letting him go. We love him so much)

Interesting observation: The band mentioned here has the very rare distinction of having videos on their YT "Topic" channel with millions of views.
"Topic" channels are the backwater of YT for music; they get almost no algorithm reach.
2-6M views there is insane aura-level for a non-huge band.

I dunno if you're familiar with them, but there's a Russian post-rock band called Chernikovskaya Hata that made one banger of an album and then disappeared, but they're definitely a spiritual successor to Kino and Molchat Doma!
