    Yeah, all things considered the public bathrooms at ACL are surprisingly not bad at all

    Definitely not referring to you. I know you're relatively on top of things. Having a musical family clearly helps, too. I'm talking about the people that see the new lineup and complain because "uhhh I recognize three bands".
  3. Caught The Point again on Saturday night at the Sahara Lounge. Man, their talent and the energy is so infectious. They brought the house down, again. All three of them are great but Nico Leophonte on drums always blows my mind. So good! (Not from that particular show...)

    Right? I love the lineup and have already found some new bands but these guys who complain non-stop... Picture yourself at 21 or 24 or 25 Some 50-year old whines about the lineup at ACL Yeah, dude... that's you! Cut it out.
  5. Been getting into the growing psychedelic Cumbia scene in Austin. A lot of very fun bands.

    I'm just thrilled that The Strokes are opposite Sabrina Carpenter so that big ass crowd will be over at the Amex stage.
  7. Just here to say I just saw Case McCoy at Butler Pitch and Putt and that man is a hero who broke aggy
  8. So September would be way better. Temperatures are still warm, prices drop, a lot less people. If you're thinking of only using a train, you could go to Riccione on the Adriatic side. Very Italian. If you have a car, from Rome you could look at Sperlonga (my family has been going there on/off since the 50s) or even go to Maremma to Talamone, Porto Ercole (swanky) or Porto Santo Stefano. If you can get to Ancona maybe with a train, look up Numana or Sirolo. We regularly go to Rimini. Honestly, the water is not the best you're going to find on the coast but for a family, it is unparalleled. There's always tons to do. Beach is wide and full of beach clubs. Very Italian. It sure as hell will be at the beach. Guaranteed.

    Poking around the lineup, finding some prospects...
  10. I'm sure Montana will be fine... https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/us-could-look-to-montana-after-chinas-critical-minerals-embargo
  11. I think I saw reports of sunny weather this afternoon in Austin. Going to feel and smell like a pair of soccer socks worn during soccer practice in the drizzle.

    I can totally get into Ocean Alley. Big fan of so much of the music coming out of Australia...

    I see gold all over the place. My taste in music is really eclectic so I can dig all kinds of bands in that lineup. Immediate ones are The Strokes, Modest Mouse, Cage the Elephant, Wet Leg, Empire of the Sun. The Dare cracks me up... definitely will catch that set. John Summit should be a great electronic headliner. Been wanting to see Orion's Belte since I dig the Khruangbin/Glass Beams vibe (see below). Polo & Pan should be good. Bunch of other good options. I'll leave W1 with a bunch of new bands I like.
  15. Seriously - you could get sweet places in prime locations under $100K
  16. I should've bought when I thought of it in 2006. Cheap cheap cheap.
  17. Tons of experience. Depends where you want to go, what kind of beach and experience. Do you want an Italian vibe or Americanized/touristy vibe? Oh, and what month?
  18. So, y'all help me out. Are these guys new? Feels like they popped up out of nowhere...
  19. $15????? OMG... I remember how cheap it used to be. Oh, I guess go drink Fernet and Coke or something

    I mean, yeah, that does look like it. I guess I'll see them in two weeks and then in October. Go figure.

    Empire of the Sun is playing in Austin in 9 days. Doubt it. Hozier also doesn't make sense. As for those posters, apparently there are people on there who already have tour dates elsewhere. I hate those alleged "leaks" I found out about them one day before I saw them live and they were so good. I would gladly seem them over and over again. Great energy, good vibes despite the angry tone.
  22. Haven't been in a while but Palermo Viejo, Palermo Soho used to be where its at. Also, follow @Ldogg53 for some tips that will bring you spontaneous adventure!

    Wet Leg is confirmed!!
  24. Been meaning to catch them @jimmyjazz they usually end up on the same bill at other bands I like
  25. If you recognize the tambourine player in the DAIISTAR KEXP performance, its Lindsey Mackin from Annabelle Chairlegs which is such a great band...
