  1. If you have some time, listen to that Bottom Forty interview. Faulkner gives a ton of great background into the band. The guy doing the interview lives in Portland now, but he was with me in 89 at the Gurus/Tragically Hip show.
  2. OK boys and girls. The kick-ass Aussie band, Hoodoo Gurus, just released a new album. https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/hoodoo-gurus-new-album-chariot-of-the-gods-36311/ Their first 4 albums from 84-89 were all fantastic and all that followed had their high points. Lots of poppy goodness and loud guitars. Those first 4: Stone Age Romeos, Mars Needs Guitars, Blow Your Cool and Magnum Cum Louder all had a lot of play on college radio and their live shows were incredibly fun. Faulkner was hilarious on stage and I got to see them with Tragically Hip in 89, which made for a very entertaining show with those two front men on the same bill. A buddy of mine interviewed Dave Faulkner of the band and plays some stuff from the new record and also from their 80s catalogue in his Bottom Forty Podcast, Episode 57. https://anchor.fm/thebottomforty Let's have a listen, shall we.
  3. Right off the bat. "Mr. Banker, do you know what the term fiduciary means?" I do not. He also throws the chick judge under the bus. This dude is the VP at the bank who was paid $30,000 to be the PR of the Satterfield family to ensure they were paid. What an utter dipshit.
  4. About 15 years ago, my oldest daughter was in college and she found a dog she called Jake. Ridgeback, Chow, Lab mix. I call him Cousin Jake. Now, my daughter and her husband and two kids live outside of a small South Georgia farming town and Cousin Jake is known throughout the county. He will occasionally run away after a storm and be gone for 2 days to 3 weeks. We will come back, beat to shit, but happy as can be. Jake Loves Kids. My favorite story is my daughter got a call from her neighbor about 1/4 mile away. "Jake is over here when you want to come get him." She is thinking he killed a chicken or tore up their garden, but when she gets there, the whole family is out in the yard rubbing Jake's belly. Apparently, the little girl was at the end of the country road on her bike and a stray dog started chasing the little girl on the bike. Cousin Jake appeared out of the woods, whipped the stray and trotted next to the girl, back to her house. If I could clone a dog, it would be Cousin Jake. Today, is Cousin Jake's last day on earth.
  5. Also, the puree may be problematic for your valve issues.
  6. Since the universe, of course, is based upon the principle of the circle within the circle, at the moment, it appears you are in an inner circle, though smaller circles within this circle are also possible.
  7. Remember to order your Vary Mary Vinyl today on Band Camp Friday. https://varymary.bandcamp.com/releases
  8. Greta with kid 2. Taken 24 years ago. Other dog is Tillie who we just adopted.
  9. A GSD raised both of my daughters. The dogs even had her own set of plastic toys (like shown below) that she played with. When the girls would get out these specific toys, Greta would go get her set. Kids spit up? Greta with the face cleanup duty. Kids learning to walk? Great with 'sharp edge' and 'fireplace' duty and there to prove a moving handrail for the girls.
  10. I'm guessing she looked more like this at the time of the escapades.
  11. I always pick the Or More option when I buy thru Bandcamp to cover any fee but the Friday thing is a great idea so I'll do that as well.
  12. I have a buddy who used tell his kids they were going to the Georgia Aquarium and just took them to the Bass Pro Shop.
  13. Hey @AnotherUTFan What is better for you 1) financially 2) exposure-wise 3) ease wise. Bandcamp or Direct to you? Can't wait to get my copy.
  14. Fogerty is a MASTER at writing opening hooks. The only person I can think of that can rival him is Joe Walsh.
  15. It took me forever before I realized Fogerty wrote this gem.
  16. He has fallen under the spell of that Wicked Felina
  17. At one time, "Help Me Make It Through The Night" and "Me and Bobby McGee" were the two recorded songs. From that first album: - To Beat the Devil - Me and Bobby McGee - Help Me Make It Through The Night - For The Good Times - Sunday Morning Coming Down Just about everyone has recorded this one as well and is my favore Kristofferson song. My current favorite version is Jamie Lin Wilson's version that Bruce Robison produced, but Kris' version gives me chills EVERY time I listen to it. I don't know if there is a more authentic performance of any song, anywhere, by anyone.
  18. A few pages ago, I posted that my dad worked for Buster Welch who was referred to as one of the three Gods of Texas. In the scene he was talking with Barry Corbin in the "L" barn at the main complex in Guthrie. Found this picture at my folks house from 1964-65. Buster is in the dark best, center front. In his late 30s. My old man, age 25, is on the floor in the white shirt and dark hat.
