  1. Some time in the early 90s, a friend and I went to some grunge show (may have been Soundgarden) at the Vatican. Tad was the opening band. After the show, we went to Jaliscience. After we ate, we were standing outside talking to some friends we ran into when Tad rolls up in a beat up station wagon. They are hammered as shit and don't even park in a parking spot. As they stumble out of the car and over to the restaurant, we start chatting them up and they are pretty nice guys. Then all of a sudden two HPD cruisers roll up really fast with a camera crew (maybe from Cops or some other show) and shit gets all chaotic really fast. Tad guys get put into the back of the cruisers (which isn't easy because they were some big dudes who weren't going willingly) and we have to convince HPD that we weren't them and aren't drunk. Good times.
  2. Everything I've had at Potente has been excellent. Cacio e pepe is outstanding.
  3. They sell Kewpie at HEB (at least the one I shop at, Bunker Hill in Houston) (when it's open).
  4. Pseudo ethnic HEB talk in Austin not going away.
  5. That’s a small sample size. Even with all the available ABs due to injury, Diaz had a whopping 69 games and 246 PAs due to his own injuries. That 10% BB number is based on only 26 walks. Toro had the same rate on even less PAs. The jury is still out on Díaz and Toro.
  6. Feges is opening a second location in spring branch on Long Point.
  7. How did you roll a bug? That's not easy to do. That was my first car, and I might have done stupid shit on occasion that would have caused other vehicles to roll but not the bug.

    TexMex

    That's my take on Goode Co Cantina.
  9. No, Champs was a local chain of coffee shop/diner type places kind of like House of Pies or Jim's in SA.
  10. Huge is decidedly calmer than you are, dude.
  11. Another example. This dude never made it anything approaching big, but man this track.
  12. If the CDs go back in print, they have to start paying the licencors again under the old agreements and then go to artists/composers who don't have any such agreements and either try to get a compulsory license (which will likely be denied) or negotiate a license agreement or else risk getting sued. Copyright law sucks for hip hop artists.
  13. Just looked at Amazon and ebay, and used Stakes is High and 3 feet high CDs are going for $30-35
  14. My understanding is that over the years, as uncleared samples were discovered on various De La albums, a bunch of artists/composers filed claims for royalties against Tommy Boy and then later Warner Music in which they would received royalties based on CD, cassettes, and albums. The belief is that these contracts didn't include provisions for all other future media like streaming. Now that all the CDs, tapes, and records have been sold, Warner is essentially paying zero in royalties. If they were to license the De La catalog to Apple, Spotify, etc. it would likely require entering into new licensing agreements and also likely restart the three year limitations period for copyright infringement.
  15. Great album. Fucked up thing is that they didn't clear any of the samples, so it's now out of print and no label wants to deal with the headache of going back and paying for the samples. Edit: just saw the same discussion above about 3 ft high and rising.
  16. Don’t disagree, but as I said upthread, the people in that neighborhood very likely don’t have homeowners insurance and are likely fucked. Watson went from “making this right” to bankruptcy in a matter of days. A movie we’ve all seen before.
  17. And Watson just filed for bankruptcy.
