  1. Yeah I’m not sure what happened but it seems pretty confirmed. RIP Zoob. I’m mad I missed it on my most recent trip back to Austin - I hope it’s still there same as it ever was next time I’m in town.
  2. I don't know how much of it is the modern media landscape and how much of it is being a 40 year old man with small children, but I have a hard time telling exactly how "big" a group is. I think it's a bit of column a and a bit of column b, and at any rate this may be obvious but Turnstile is either already huge or about to be huge. Their last album Glow On was really big, they were direct support on Blink 182's world tour in '23/'24, and their new album Never Enough has been heavily anticipated. It feels like one of the most heavily talked about albums in recent years at least in terms of my friends, my music people, my algorithms. I like hardcore, but I've always been into pop and so Turnstile has only gone farther up my alley as they've evolved. Anyways, discuss. I also have a huge soft spot for Turnstile for doing the pop punk banger in the ITYSL shirt brothers sketch
  3. just now occurred to me that he’s saying new-scum and not news-cum
  4. I was an extra in Bandslam. There are some concert scenes where I’m theoretically in the crowd, but another scene where they are backstage and I’m behind Aly Michalka and Vanessa Hudgens packing my bass gear away. I got to do makeup and wardrobe and all that shit. I accidentally stared directly at the camera a few times 😶 I think that movie is pretty forgotten, but it was decent for what it was if I remember. High School Musical era teen dramedy about a battle of the bands.
  5. probably stole them from tommy’s closet
  6. He’s rolling pretty deep though. you try and fuck with a guy wearing a bedazzled leather shirt and a Paul Reed Smith, you’re going to get pepper sprayed.
  7. Zoob was the owner, normally perched near the door. Big dude, big Texas fan. I’ve been away for a while, I don’t know what’s been going on with him, but it looks like he’s gone. Rest in peace buddy.
  8. despite generally being representative of both my era and scene, I never cared much or paid much attention to the all american rejects. I do think the impromptu show thing that they are doing is kinda cool, but I've heard lots of stories about their lead singer being the biggest primadonna douchebag of all time so I mostly move past them.
  9. Seeing some bad news circling about concerning Zoob at the Chili Parlor. No idea of cause or context but sounds like he’s no longer with us. Going to cook up a bowl of xxx. Extra thick.
  10. Yeah me too until recently - my sister had that cd in her disc logic case in her Sunfire. I completely forgot about the opening part. It’s kind of an incredible song - if you were making a movie about some band from 1999 it would be the perfect “let’s steal a bit from every possible genre of mainstream rock from this time” type song. And then the band having a verb# name - 🧑‍🍳😘
  11. Much harder song about black post breakup belongings Darren Jesse (drummer) just performed nearby recently and I almost went just to see.
  12. Yeah but what are they saying in the comments
  13. That’s always the hardest part
  14. I don’t always wear this watch because it weighs 7 pounds and is 3 feet tall, but it is pretty
  15. it's harder than it looks apparently
  16. one asshole goes one way, the other asshole goes the other way. and then immamac is sayin "whaddya want from me?"
  17. I prefer using a strap tie on the neck, but my d-41 already had a button installed on the heel. I wouldn’t worry too much about doing it, but make sure you know where you want it first.
  18. is Wednesday part of this? There's a lot of grunginess to that sound and MJ Lenderman is clearly heavily influence by alternative rock bands of that era ahh i knew that
  19. a) I assume you're talking about The Mars Volta for the guitarist? and b) it's funny, ATDI is a pretty formative post-hardcore band and one I've listened to a fair bit both back in the day and later on up till even now, and they're from Texas as well, and certainly their stage presence was an influence on my little baby band's whole thing, but I don't actually know that much about the guys or even which ones are in Mars Volta or their stances on stuff or etc. But also, one time we were in LA to meet with some labels in that very cool era of "we're definitely going to make it" and saw Cedric sitting alone at Jumbo's Clown Room, right before Justin Long bummed a cigarette in the parking lot. Which was a funny fucking night.
