#NowPlaying Slacker by #umphreys 11/8/25. Thought it was gonna be a normal jam. Right from

What if instead of panic attacks we had picnic attacks? Can you imagine how much more pleasant that would be. Instead of existential dread it would be sandwiches and potato salad with the some friends and maybe a potential love interest.

So it turns out Khruangbin is playing a show at the Metro this Thursday is celebrating the release of The Universe Smiles Upon You ii. It’s super sold out.
I hope the ticket gods smile upon me ii this Thursday and I get to go. That would be unreal to see.

What if the Cure covered “Let’s Save Tony Orlando’s House” or “Stockholm Syndrome?” That would be definitely interesting.

Do you think in an alternate universe Blue Oyster Cult made a hit song “Do Fear The Reaper” in C Major?

#NowPlaying Rocker Part 2 jam by #umphreys 11.8.25. The thing that is so great about this jam is that it’s so atypical of an UM jam. You can clearly hear the rhythm guitar, the riffs are subtle, nit in you face. It’s like everyone is on the same page.

One of things that I love about music is the discovery aspect. If an album is new in to you, but is an older album, it creates a bond between you and those older fans. The music becomes more of a secret language & songs become emotional ties. It’s a fascinating concept.

Cherry Oh Baby by Eric Donaldson will always remind me of the Rolling Stones bar in Osaka, Japan. It was the song that the bar tender played as soon as we sat down. After walking around Dotonbori.

Art is emotion through expression. AI does not think and it cannot feel. It is a program designed to scrounge the internet to pass things off as its own. All the while stealing jobs from real artists and soaking up drinking water.

#NowPlayingInMyHead She Sells Sanctuary by the Cult. Just the riff, because honestly I’m not quite sure what the lyrics are. It’s a pleasant riff to have in my head, for all those inquiring minds.

One of the coolest things about Egypt was that some of the hieroglyphic were in such good condition. It was amazing. Just look at this.
