  1. yes i love doug sahm and don't think he generally gets the respect he deserves. rarely mentioned when people talk about the great austin songwriters. always a classic:
  2. definitely saw that guy, i was a little bit to the left so thankfully it wasn't impeding my view.
  3. Day 3 was significantly less crowded, way easier to walk around between stages. Walkmen- didn't know anything about them going into the set. they definitely reminded me of the strokes...and i don't like the strokes. not for me. most entertaining part of the set was the gray haired old man and the 20 something kid in front of me that were nose to nose yelling fuck you and about to come to blows over where to stand. Breeders- this is the only set of the weekend that i felt the sound was really bad...just a muddy mess. otherwise they were enjoyable. Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Karen O is an incredible performer. this was the set of the weekend for me, they absolutely killed it. Death Grips- holy shit that was intense. there were moments of extremely heavy greatness, and that drummer was just nonstop crazy drumming. but also i couldn't understand any of the lyrics and it got extremely repetitive at times. not sure i would see them again but it was entertaining. got out of there after death grips, the closers didn't interest me.
  4. Yesterday reminded me why I stopped attending the festival 10 years ago. Just way too many people to be enjoyable. Kingfish Ingram- fun set, good to see some blues in the acl lineup Shaed- the singer had a great voice and the songs were catchy. Not normally into this style of pop but they were good. Alanis- she sounded great and everyone sang along to every song. Tove Lo- she had a band so points for that. Thought it was fine. Foo Fighters- they were the foo fighters. Other thoughts 1. What a beautiful day! Sunset was gorgeous. 2. Trying to exit to Barton springs after FF was absurd and kind of scary. 3. Saw a lady who brought her own foot stool to stand on. 4. Did not know individual yellow bird packets existed.
  5. Oh yeah saw brother thunder as well and they were pretty good.
  6. I also noticed the $2 tip thing at the beer stands with no option for "custom tip". Total bullshit. National Parks- the epitome of boring neo folk. Not good. Bailen- good harmonies, uninteresting music. Abraham Alexander- decent soul in the vein of Leon Bridges but pretty forgettable. Blond:ish- it's a rave Portugal the Man- decent Bass Drum of Death- easily the best band all day. Garage rock with grit. Maggie Rogers- not bad I guess, not my thing. Mars Volta- other than the 20 minutes of jazz noodling between songs they sounded good. Funny to see the lead singer old and fat. Guitarist is still a tiny man. Lumineers- I can't stand this music Kendrick Lamar- not into karaoke, get a live band. The drone show before the set was cool.
  7. not deal with 75,000 people mainly. the logistics of getting down there and into the festival is the biggest hurdle for me. i'm into rock, all kinds of rock and blues.
  8. won a pair of 3 day passes and still not sure i want to go. haven't been in at least a decade and there's not much that excites me on that lineup. looks like good weather though so maybe i'll get out there.
  9. QOTSA and Viagra Boys in Denver last Friday was fucking awesome. Viagra Boys were the opener, played a short set and it wasn't my favorite setlist but they still killed it. QOTSA are sounding exceptionally good and the new material sounded fantastic live. Turnin' on the Screw and God is in the Radio ripped hard. Didn't close with Song for the Dead, which was a bit of a bummer.

    Vinyl

    austin record convention is this weekend. swear i'm out of town every damn time.
  11. no, no it isn't. no one cares about your kid's tball game. much prefer sitting in silence. icebreakers before a meeting are my pet peeve. i refuse to participate.

    Pizza

    when it's an imperial pint
  13. that's too bad, that place looks very nice and was on the short list of venues i wanted to see.
  14. stc

    Pizza

    agreed, but they also increased to $4/each.
  15. no cash option, cards only.
  16. stc

    Pizza

    a small pizza at pinthouse that used to cost $8.99 is now $12.99. their pizza is fine but that 50% increase is some bullshit.
  17. went to a concert at dickies arena in ft worth, asked the guy at the beer booth if the tips even go to him and he said he gets paid an hourly wage and no tips. all tips go to the venue. saved me some tip money.
  18. night beats saturday night at hotel vegas. played the entire new album plus a couple other songs. love this incarnation of the band, they sounded super tight. he's one of my favorite guitarists, such a unique phrasing and style.

    Burgers

    Went to crown before the pearl jam concert on Monday. The college kids at our table had never heard of PJ. I felt old. Burger was as good as ever.
  20. think i had about 3 circle beers in the 15 years that they were open. there was a reason for that...
  21. Last night was my least favorite setlist of the 3 pearl jam shows I saw...lots of people seemed to love it though. Still a great time and the energy in moody was unreal.
  22. seeing that same lineup in denver on the 29th.
  23. QOTSA and Spiritualized at Moody 12/8. Hell yes.
  24. Fuck yes that was good. I got shit and smile were 2 I really wanted to hear. That encore was incredible. Ready for 1 more night!
