    New Austin Music

    i have to say, i find it incredibly fascinating that most of the music that jimmy throws out there that i have never heard of but sometimes dig always in some way takes me back to his favorite band of all time...garbage. i think a psychologist could have a real field day with that one...

    New Austin Music

    that second song is a legit banger. really enjoyed that one as well as the slow tempo third song. i will seek these guys out...thanks, jimmy. the rest of the songs sound really nice too. that bass player is pure stage presence...lol. in my perfect world, that lead singer gives him a chance and changes his entire essence forever. that whole band is so mismatched in terms of stage presence...that girl gets to carry all the water. eta: lol, their top songs on the streamers is "greg abbott's maxi pad."
  4. i wonder if justin baldoni plays the drums.
  5. there are lots of amazing drummers everywhere. as someone who has picked up drumming as a hobby over the last couple of years, there are no-names on youtube that can play shit i could spend the rest of my life practicing and never be able to do...just like guitar. that said, if i had the opportunity to put together an ensemble of my choice for a studio session to make a "rock" album, the choice on drummer would be by far the easiest. i would not hesitate for even a moment...danny carey. the shit he was playing in the king crimson tour last fall was fucking amazing to see in person. octopus shit but more importantly, incredible feel and groove that has your head bobbing to not the most accessible music.
  6. if you have the ability to listen in spatial/dolby (AirPods max or other binaural headphones...or a 7.1/9.1 setup), you should check out the "in-side" mix for this track (which is just the dolby atmos version). It is fucking wildly immersive.
  7. Port holes you say? This is pro studio as opposed to hi fi technically but my new ATC SCM25a Mk II monitors are a revelation. My god, I’m listening to and making music for the first time ever. Still have the Neumann KH750 sub in the back but my god, if you’ve never spent time in a studio with ATCs, it is my opinion that you have not yet lived. The separation is other worldly…hard to describe. Just insert a bunch of other over-the-top platitudes here.
  8. Welp, now we just have to hope this is the 2005 series against Baylor.
  9. This weekend can officially get fucked obviously. but like I said earlier in the thread, it is typical in baseball for really good teams to go through an eat shit couple of weeks. Augie used to talk about it all the time. The key is fighting through it and regaining the confidence and playing hot before June starts. I would have preferred it not happen against Arkansas because fuck them but they caught us at home a week after series with agros and had their garbage weekends leading up to this. salvaging a game today goes a long way in safely procuring the sec title so they need to give them hell today. Gotta fight through the adversity. hook’em.
  10. that game fucking blew but it was inevitable. hopefully they have the same mental toughness they showed against lsu after the shitty friday night game. that said, most national champs in the last decade have hit a skid in the season at some point and we genuinely have not had that so far. if it is going to happen, rather it happen now than in june.
  11. lol, united and spurs are both going to finish below 15 in the league and they will play each other to get into champions league. incredible.
  12. well this was all terribly disappointing. i was looking forward to reading tigersnake's posts at 3am freaking out during the stall and jacking up the temperature super high and burning the shit out of the brisket and his mother in law writing him out of the will.
  13. lulz, kind of funny. props to the champs.
  14. hmm, three way with blake and scarlet. hmm.
  15. as a resident of west lake hills and an eanes property tax payor (25% property value increase yoy this year holla!), i suspect the one of the contributing factors is that dallas and houston have some much more extreme poor ass areas that austin just does not have. austin has extremely high property value areas but with the gentrification of the east side and even dove springs, north east austin is the only truly ghetto ass area left in austin from a property tax perspective. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and El Paso all have some extremely nice areas but the extreme on the other end for them is far more extreme than austin. austin has somewhat insulated itself from those extremes. hisd doesn't just serve the areas west of 45, the also serve the areas east of 45. so they probably even out a bit more. the other thing is places like frisco fucking gaming the system and resetting their the tax % regularly to ensure they are not in a net payor position. that is the shit that needs to be revised. but the thing about it that pisses me off by far the most about it all is not the concept of recapture as a principle. i grew up in poor ass east texas and we would have probably had school in a creek bed if it weren't for it...but it is that it is not being utilized for education necessarily but instead is absconded with by the general fund and held hostage by politically motivated pieces of shit who are hell bent on pushing through voucher bullshit so their p.e. buddies with their boiler room charter schools can make a fortune. and that money very well may go to putting up razor balls for performative bullshit on the rio grande as opposed to actually funding schools in economically challenged communities. fucking makes me irate and i with nothing but pain and misery on every fucking cocksucking piece of shit involved in texas politics that allows this horseshit to go on.
  16. over a billion this year. austin and westlake property taxes fund this fucking state.
  17. trade deal week got tied up with infrastructure week and health care overhaul week. two weeks.
  18. just follow lincoln riley and john cornyn's lead and you'll be fine. definitely a bold move to pop your brisket cherry for a crowd of 25. but at least it is just in laws.
  19. just booked for a little more than a week in the summer low season in july. fingers crossed on weather and hurricanes. taking kids and staying at cheval blanc the whole time. still need to get a car and will start looking at restaurants as we get closer. shoutout thanks to wild turkey for some generous planning advice.
  20. Some last minute tix just fell into my lap for this tonight in Austin.
  21. while you're at it, any update on your wife and sister's evolving relationship?
