  1. Their set at Old Settlers last year was one of the best shows I’ve seen in years. Electric atmosphere between the band and crowd. Went there not knowing more than a couple songs and left a big fan.

    I’m reading stories everyday of previously healthy young people getting killed by this. Death so sudden it’s killing a lot of them in their sleep at home. Haven’t seen the US death stats broken down by age but I imagine a significant percentage at this point is people 20-50 years old. It could take me out as easy as it could take out you. You’re right that it’s different since I don’t have a family to support though. That would change my rationale.

    Blood clots?

    expectorant my G. keep it outta your chest. thats the biggest challenge IMO, especially if you happen to have a history of chest colds or the bronch

    Thanks! I’m also trying to get my hands on some chloroquine. It’s worth a shot. Both me and wife have had a full day of tight chest and shortness of breath. 

  4. Had a headache yesterday and felt off, but no major symptoms. Went to work overnight and by this morning I had burning tightness in my chest that feels like cloud, a very minor sore throat, and some mild diarrhea. No Fever, although I feel warm, and no cough. Kinda freaked out after reading horror stories on the net for the last 2 weeks. To add to the anxiety, my 8 month old daughter has a fever, lethargy, diarrhea... 35, no preexisting shit or aware of any positive contacts. Any suggestions for supplements I could take help get over this?

  5. I saw Moreland doing a song swap with Aaron Lee Tasjan and Caleb Caudle a few years ago in Houston in front of about 10 people at Natachee's cafe. This is during the In the Throes period. Half of the people were at a table in front of the stage, having some kind of long lost family reunion, totally oblivious to the show. They were so loud that when John sang, you couldn't hear him at all. It was a disaster. When his turn came back up, and they continued talking, the rest of us lost it and had them moved outside the venue. Thankfully, we got to see him at Mucky Duck the next time and it was dead quiet for 2 hours.

  6. The show at White Oak on Saturday was awesome!!! It was my 4th time to see them, and the best so far.. they had live congas, steel guitar, vibraphone sitting in for parts or all of the set.  They brought out Leon Bridges and did 2 new unreleased songs... the crowd/vibe/weather were perfect.  Just a great night.  My only complaint is with the volume of the outdoor shows at White Oak - this was my second show there (David Byrne), and both times it was loud but not quite loud enough. I get that it's either that, or no shows at all in that neighbohood per their agreement, but I still wish they could do something.

    Any of y'all go?

    I've seen GCJ several times over the years, but I think my favorite show was a few years ago at Warehouse Live when Eve and her band opened. Later in his set, they jammed together and he brought his sister out to sing "Church". He's probably played there 4-5 times at this point and it's good(for him) and too bad (for me) that he's probably never going to play that small of a venue in Houston again.

  8. My plan for tomorrow is to hit SXSJ to see Mountain Man, Robert Ellis, and Black Pumas. Taking it easy because...

    Thursday, I'll be at Luck Reunion all day. Really looking forward to seeing Yola and Marcus King there. 

    Friday,  I really want to see Sarah Shook at the Yard Dog party , but I don't know if I can get up and over there that early after Luck Reunion all day.

    Anyone ever heard of Lost Dog Street Band? I was listening to Tyler Childers radio on Google Play at work today and came across one of their songs and got hooked on them. Their stuff is great, it's a husband and wife duo, they play real stripped down folksy stuff. The singer Benjamin Tod has some solo stuff as well that's also really good.

    I've been loving them too!  I went to go see my friend The Hill Country Devil (second vid on this post) open a show for them a while back and had to leave before they played, but have gotten hooked on them since anyway. The GemsonVHS youtube channel is a treasure trove of mostly unknown and mostly incredible songwriters.

     

     

     

  10. I was there too on Saturday. Felker often  looks kind of nervous or uneasy to me, even when I've seen them at Gruene Hall. This time it looked though, it was like he had no joy or emotion up there, just going through the motions, like he'd rather be doing something/anything else...

  11. I always loved that TVZ song and was shocked when I saw JF play it once. I agree with you, his shows are truly killer these days (and they’ve been great for a long time).  I saw him sit in with Turnpike at their ACL taping on piano, and it didn’t affect the show much, but if he were the lead singer, they’d become a totally different band. 

  12. ACL 2007 - 2013.

    FPSF 2009-2013.

    SXSW 2009-2018.

    Day for Night 2016-2017.

    I love fests and had an amazing time at all of them, but I got tired of the changing crowds and music at the big ones like ACL and FPSF when i was abt 29-30 years old. Day for Night (before it got axed) and SXSW were still thrilling from 30-35.  However, our first kid is due in August, so it might be a while until the next phase.  This year we are going to shorten SXSW to just Luck Reunion and hit up Old Settler's for the first time. Always wanted to go but it never worked out. Looks great!
