sorry, that sucks. I've been following them for a couple years and I only ever recall seeing their live dates as being around the pnw or west coast; did a literal triple-take when I got the bandcamp notification about these dates.

No complaints with Tidal after 8-9 years of using it; comparable library and pays artists more (still not much but more than Spot). If you have >1 person in the household who might use it, the family plan is pretty cost-effective.

I've always been passingly familiar with the West Memphis 3 case, but I just finished a book by one of the defense attorneys and holy shit, it really was 1692 Salem all over again, 300 years later. Watching the 'Paradise Lost' trilogy on HBO now.

i misread 'rotated' as 'potato', and then chuckled to myself because that wouldn't make any sense

New headphones were waiting for me when I got home from work, so of course the first thing I listen to on them is black metal that sounds like it was played through a Speak n' Spell
So glad to see my new headphones traveling directly from NYC to the Philly metro area via *checks notes* Memphis, Tennessee ( ._.)

Doing stuff with others is fun, but never be afraid to do something by yourself. Go see that movie, go to that concert, eat at that restaurant.
If you spend your whole life waiting for someone else to do it with you, you may never do it at all.

Dude is so prolific, in the 4 hours since you posted this, he has already released 7 EPs, a concept album in a language that doesn't exist about a concept that doesn't exist, and 3 splits with 3 other bands that are also him.

That's great to know! I have a pair of Jabra over-the-ear headphones that feel like I have my head in a vise if I wear them for too long.

Sony xm5. Not the top of the line but the mid-level over ear ones, I believe. I was torn between them, Bose, and Sennheisers of all about the same price and I just had to pull the trigger on one of them.

Good! Not the same as seeing him with a whole band but I enjoyed it enough that I saw him again this past summer when he came through the area. Both times he played a decent mix of solo and Husker Du, little bit of Sugar.

6 years ago tonight, I saw the last live show I would see before the Covid lockdowns began - Bob Mould solo electric at Musikfest Cafe, Bethlehem PA. I could touch the stage from my seat.

Right? They came completely out of nowhere, too, at least for me.

I am once again asking for you to listen to Pentecost.
Upon several more listens, I was right: this could have bumped at least 1-2 albums of either one of my 2025 AOTY lists.

R I F F S. This black metal band from Roanoke VA has a studio album too but the live album has a couple extra numbers plus a Celtic Frost cover. Probably could have made my AOTY list for 2025 if I had known about it two weeks ago! #metalsky #blackmetalsky

I know I should just delete my account, but just when I decide to, something cool happens, like my aunt and cousin - who I haven't seen in like 20 years - saw me advertise a show I was in and came out to see me.
I keep telling myself I'll do it one of these days.

Popping in to FB to see how the dumbest people I never spoke to in high school have the shittiest takes on current events 30 years later.
I don't know why I continue to do this to myself.
