I had a similar reaction when I retired my 7yr old work monitor for a 4K. I continue to be shocked at how much of an upgrade it wound up being. Not something I would have paid $800+ for, but certainly worth the $450 sale price.
October 9, 2025 - Madi Sipes @ The Groove Yard Madi performs so rarely, that I always put in extra effort to try and show up when they get added to a bill.
October 9, 2025 - Niall Connolly @ The Groove Yard This one came as a recommendation from Anna Tivel. Great songwriter and storyteller. I can see why she agreed to sing on his most recent album.
October 9, 2025 - High Bias @ The Groove Yard I've seen Sam Eliot Stern perform in a number of local bands, but the material he performs with this one feels the most authentic.
As long as it doesn't smell like cat food, you're probably good. I once made a rice pilaf with Bhutanese red rice and it wound up looking like a crime scene.
Mastodon always feels like someone looked at the Discogs Community Forums and said, what if we re-captured this pedantic energy, and presented it in a way that made Discord look sane by comparison.
If you ever get the chance to see her while she is on tour with Jeffrey Martin, make extra sure not to miss it. The dynamic between them is just as entertaining as the music.
I was first introduced to her on a mini-tour she was doing with Justin Farren (another musical treasure justinfarren.bandcamp.com) I've gone out of my way to make sure to catch her on every subsequent tour that has brought her to my region.
The only redeeming thing about that is that it forced me to move my schedule around in such a way that I should be able to catch Johanna Warren next week.
Oh, you wanted the desktop? Sorry, we were too busy sending it to the One Drive account you never signed up for and previously disabled in the settings.
October 7, 2025 - múm @ Harlow's It took me around two and a half decades to finally catch these folks live. Highly recommended. I was particularly fascinated by the drummer, and the clever ways he had come up with to create a number of the less identifiable sounds from their earlier recordings.
October 7, 2025 - Mr. Silla @ Harlow's Sigurlaug Gísladóttir opened the show with a set of originals, mostly inspired by breakfast foods and house pets.
It appears that was a listener poll. So it speaks more to their shoddy playlist than it does to the ignorance of the folks being polled. People just picked at the only bits of the shit sandwich they were able to recognize.
