  1. I've been familiar with Doug Sahm for a while and occasionally ascend the hill named in his honor next to the Palmer; however, Sun Volt recently released an album covering a bunch of his tunes and it has renewed/increased my appreciation for ol' Doug. The Son Volt album starts and ends with old answering machine messages from Doug- it's a fantastic tribute. Anyway- let 'er rip! And the Son Volt cover I've had on repeat for a bit (went to their show in August)
  2. The Walkmen sounded good- reminded me of the The Strokes- hopefully I don't sound like an asshole for making that comparison but my sample size is small. Went to The Breeders after that... turned around to check the crowd and a friend I hadn't seen in 12+ years was standing right behind me- super awesome.
  3. What a great weekend of music- even the bands I'd never heard of (which is 90% of them) were damn good. Awesome time- would do again.
  4. Saturday is always the most overloaded with people. I walked out into GenPop for a few songs during Alanis' show (after all, I'm a man of the people), and it was surprisingly easy/fun and not annoying. It's f'ing gorgeous out here today. Michigander was surprisingly good/fun and Grace Sorensen has been good/chill so far.
  5. I'm not familiar with them at all beyond having heard the name, so I don't have any expectations. Either way the weather and people watching will be top notch.
  6. That's great to hear- I'm planning to attend their ACL show today (haven't seen them before).
  7. I'd never been to an Alanis show before and wasn't expecting a whole lot, so it was a nice surprise that she sounded great- fun show. This is my 19th year to attend, and your timeline of ~10 years ago certainly feels similar as far as the overcrowding goes- or maybe that's when I just got too old 😉. The last few years I've been doing VIP and it has made it a much easier experience overall. After FF last night I hung back and hit the bar for a couple more drinks while the crowd cleared out, and even then it was still quite a mob scene exiting a while after the shows had ended. The weather this year has been a great bonus. I'm heading back soon for day 3- good times.
  8. 30ft back from the stage center-left.... ~5ft from me and @texasdago.
  9. The only terrible sound mix I heard today was the 1st song during Shooks, which was plenty bad. It was heartwarming to see Charlie taking pics & video of his kid during the performance. Also awesome to connect with @texasdago.
  10. I'll plan to hit the Tito's tent a bit before the show starts.
  11. Good shows yesterday- love having nicer weather for a change. We went to Devon Gilfillian, The National Parks, Thee Sacred Souls, Brother Thunder, Portugal The Man... then listened to some of Bass Drum of Death before heading over to the Dave Grhol interview. After that we went to The Revivalists and Lumineers. All of them were good.
  12. I plan to be there for that show was well, but will be hanging toward the back most likely.
  13. Nicel. I saw Fareground had shows pretty much all day- I used to work super close so that would've been convenient. I'm up for beers, maybe combined with a HH show somewhere- will DM you soon.
  14. I hit ABGB for their HAAM Day showcase- Primo the Alien, Shinyribs, and Bidi Bidi Banda... then bar hopped South Lamar a bit during the walk home (Black Sheep, Corner Bar, Gibson, Barton Springs Saloon). Fun night.
  15. Sentenced to 30 years. https://www.kxan.com/news/jury-hears-final-testimony-before-sentencing-in-sixth-street-mass-shooting/
  16. I was at both of those events that day as well- hell of a fun Saturday. I went to a handful more of his shows over the next 10 years- always a great time.
  17. I watched all of it this week unexpectedly. I say unexpectedly because the trailer didn't really grab me but I decided to watch 1 episode and move on if not interested after that. Damn, this was much better than I expected based on the trailer- nice surprise.
  18. Received results today- 0. I was a bit surprised to see that. I'm a few months shy of 50 so was curious and had it done while I've been doing some of those other checks you do around 50.
  19. Holy shit- you people are still crying about horns down? JFC
  20. They sounded great tonight, super happy to have been there.
  21. That's Ho Tran Brasky. Congratulations Koopa!
  22. I'll be there too- looking forward to it.
