  1. was listening to this in 1996, i think that's more than 15 years ago.
  2. the real ale ipa sampler is $12.99 at total wine and costco. hard to beat.
  3. just read about how their bassist was an AIDS denier in the early 2000's and they played an anti-AIDS benefit. weird. doesn't change my opinion on their music but it's funny in the same way that the deftones' guitarist being a flat earther is funny. Responding to coverage of the Alive & Well benefit in Mother Jones magazine, Mendel wrote, "I am not a medical professional, and I am relatively new to these questions, but I am convinced that those who have tested HIV positive and those sick with AIDS are being done a disservice by not having all the information available to them."[21] Links and references to Alive & Well were removed from the band's website by March 2003.[22]

    BBQ

    had it a couple months ago, it was good. the duck and brisket were the standouts.
  5. as a NIN fan, very happy with this. ilan is a great drummer but the freese era of live NIN was always my favorite.
  6. looking forward to seeing them at levitation next month, but was sad to see david sitek isn't touring with them.

    Ozzy has passed.

    saw ozzy described as "the frank sinatra of metal" and thought that was a good comparison. iconic voice, never wrote a song.
  8. new NIN single released a couple weeks ago. tron soundtrack will be NIN as opposed to the usual trent/atticus score. seeing them live a few times in september.
  9. got a couple in the 100 level for SA. saw him 2012 in houston and 2019 in arlington. both were great.

    Vinyl

    was in dallas last weekend and stopped by good records. the used selection was pretty sparse but i did find spiritualized- pure phase. they had an interesting selection of new records but they were on the pricier side, $30-$40 generally. it was actually a little too organized for me, every single artist had their own section...i prefer to do some digging.

    i celebrate his entire catalogue. i've even come around on those solo albums. read his book earlier this year and was surprised to learn that he didn't write any of the sabbath lyrics.

    Burgers

    the bill's oyster $10 happy hour burger is legit. it was almost more of a patty melt, and it was extremely delicious.
  14. being dead at hotel vegas last night. i love the band, but that was terrible. whoever was running sound should be fired immediately. there were constant problems with feedback throughout the entire set. the band pleaded between every song but it was never resolved. you could tell they were not happy. it was also a strange crowd, there were a bunch of people there (saw britt daniel walkiing around) but nobody seemed to care about the band. pretty much the opposite of when i saw the night beats last week...smaller crowd but everyone was into it. being dead is great and i feel bad for them.
  15. had no idea they fucked lake austin in 2021 with a shitload of carp. i want to know who came up with the 56,700 number. this time they're going with a much more conservative 350. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/sterile-grass-carp-lake-austin-hydrilla-growth-invasive-non-native-plant/269-a1673ad1-d6f4-4a88-9f79-4337c62fb8e2
  16. recently happened upon this song and was really surprised to hear "that was a good drum break". didn't even realize that was a sample in "where it's at". sounds like beck's voice. anyway, beck uses lots of samples.
  17. enjoyed the lager system collab between st elmo and live oak. figured i would pick up a 4 pack...$18 for 4 lagers? fuck you.

    Sammiches

    went twice, it wasn't very good either time. liked the short lived cantina concept way more than the sub shop.

    3-2-1 Ribs

    rust. they pretty much fall apart and become dust.
  20. hotel vegas last night: fifi knifefight- they were fine. standard rock, good energy from the lead singer. pussy gillette- power trio. entertaining for a few songs but then you realize every song sounds the exact same. lead singer's schtick also got a bit tiresome. night beats- he's got a new backing band again. bass player from amplified heat and i didn't recognize the drummer. they were a bit more sloppy, in a good way, than the last time i saw them. played a good mix of stuff from all the albums. he's one of my favorite guitarists, really love his phrasing.

    3-2-1 Ribs

    i've had my weber spirit for 20 years. replaced the flavorizer bars twice and replaced the cooking grate with cast iron. still works like a champ. if i could find a grill cover that lasts more than 1 summer that would be great.
  22. i've never had any problems with the locals. i think it's less about not liking texans and more about not liking dumbasses...and there are lots of dumbasses from texas.
  23. my texan grandmother always said, "never ask anyone where they're from, if they're from texas they'll tell you, and if they're not you don't want to embarass them." every time i go to colorado i take every single piece of texas clothing i own, because fuck you i'm from texas.
