Concerts you are attending
I went specifically to see COC and Melvins. COC was great but I wish they would play a show in Austin not opening for someone else...the last 3 times I've seen them they've been an opener. 45 minute set...worth the price of admission just to hear Albatross. Melvins always bring the energy and they're weird as fuck so I enjoy that, they've just got so many damned albums I never know half the songs on the setlist.

Hi Fi and Home theater set ups
Bought it a decade ago from an old man in Wimberley for $100. Picked up the turntable around the same time for $250 I think. Put a fair amount of time into cleaning it up and replacing some tubes and transistors. The old man wanted someone who would actually use it to listen to music and not gut it for some other project. Promised him I would give it the respect it deserves.

Hi Fi and Home theater set ups
1962 Stromberg Carlson console. Controls were getting scratchy so I'm cleaning it today...good time for some pics. Original amp and speakers, still sounds great. Replaced the turntable with an Acoustic Research XA that fit perfectly.

SXSW 2022
saw a lot of good bands on Friday. Meatraffle and King Hannah were the best new discoveries. difficult to overstate how good Beck was on Saturday night. went into it not expecting much...the last time I saw him was a little disappointing. half was solo acoustic and half was with a pedal steel accompanying him. he played for a long time, 25 songs over 2 hours. was thrilled that the set was heavy on songs from mutations and sea change, those are 2 of my favorites. his voice is still great and he had some good banter with the crowd. this was an all timer for me, was totally blown away. it also helped that all the badge people were late showing up so we were about 2 people from the rail the whole time. The Golden Age Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime (Korgis cover) Rowboat Say Goodbye Canceled Check Guess I'm Doing Fine I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow (Hank Williams cover) Pay No Mind (Snoozer) Lazy Flies Nobody's Fault But My Own Girl Dreams Hollow Log I Am the Cosmos (Chris Bell cover) Bottle of Blues Heart Is a Drum 40 Mermaids (new song) Lost Cause Asshole Fume Dead Melodies Sissyneck Country Down Debra One Foot In The Grave True Love Will Find You in the End (Daniel Johnston cover)

New Tool Album: They really mean it this time. Maybe.
woodlands 2001 was my first time seeing them, and the best. post 911 security was ridiculous, missed all of tricky and barely got to our seats before tool started. thought there was about to be a riot at the entrance gates.

have seen them several times, always good...but if you're looking for a "greatest hits" setlist you'll be disappointed.

Mike Campbell with The Dirty Knobs

Shall we talk about heavy music?
just had this same conversation the other night. they were one of my favorite bands forever, and it's almost unfathomable to me that tool would put out an album in the year 2019 that i had zero interest in. opiate doesn't need to be 10 minutes long, it was fine how it was.

Creedence Clearwater Revival
they're great, but i was extremely surprised when i learned that those motherfuckers are from the bay area california and not from the louisiana swamps.

Your unpopular music opinions
when i was a senior in high school i did my UT campus visit and ended up going to a party that night with a friend's older sister who was already enrolled. i was very excited about my first college party, and subsequently extremely disappointed when we showed up and they were listening to REM at the party. i thought they must be giant losers because who the fuck listens to REM? still have a vivid memory of someone doing a kegstand to "man on the moon" and thinking i must be in the twilight zone. i have since come to understand why some people enjoy it, but have never gained an appreciation for their music.

Tom Petty kicks all kinds of ass
picked up the 1995 playback box set for $10 recently and was reading through the liner notes last night. apparently mike campbell had this on the back burner for a decade and they couldn't figure out what to do with it. the producer called in lenny kravitz, he listened to 30 seconds of the tape and immediately knew what to do...laid down the drum and bass tracks right there.

Mark Lanegan RIP
His solo albums are worth exploring, some good songs on all of them.
