Keyboardist/bassist/vocalist/drummist, autodidact, intergalactic wiseguy, and overall bad influence. Beaming from Tacoma, WA.
Pinned
I have a solo recording project called "Shades Below", in which I play all the instruments (keyboards/bass/drums). Looking for a lyricist to help take them to the next level.

The refectory (canteen/lunchroom) at Leeds University was turned into a makeshift auditorium on this day in 1970, where The Who performed and recorded "Live At Leeds", which was released three months later. #TheWho

It was in January of 1986 that The Shining began making the rounds on cable TV after a long absence. We had both of these channels, along with HBO, and we hadn't seen it on cable since it made its debut on there in the fall of 1981.

Finally...a "still" shot of Luna. She seems to be beagle and greyhound, with a little bit of pitbull in her. Hard to say for sure, but she's very playful and rambunctious.

THE WHO: "John's Birthday Party".
Oakland Coliseum, October 9, 1976. Great show where they're opening for the Grateful Dead (this is the first of two shows).

Screenshot from the "Sgt. Pepper" movie from 1978 (you know, the one with the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton in it). This is from a scene where a bunch of newly-minted evil recruits are being "programmed" to take over the world.

I'd watch a spinoff based on this idea. Imagine a group of paranoid tweakers with a crackhound taking apart old fridges and scrounging for copper wire.

It’s beautiful how the internet has come together to collectively hate a woman for stealing a baseball from a child at a Phillies game….now, if we had that same energy for other and meaningful things in society, we could be unstoppable.
