    Remember, it's a not a question of "if", but of "how bad will it/they be?"

    I remember being in a doctor's office with my dad when I was a young'un.  I was going on and on about how cool motorcycles were and the doc told my Dad, "Get him a motorcycle for his last birthday."  Dad had to explain the joke to me on the way home.  I was pre-sarcasm.  /csb

  2. Great stuff happening here. Absolutely killing it as a serious country.

    Boebert is now hoping her focus on the topic will earn her campaign donations and new voters. Boebert’s Monday email blast read:
    For decades, our government has shrouded the truth about UFOs in a veil of secrecy.
    Strange crafts have been spotted soaring through our skies, defying the laws of physics, and yet the bureaucrats in Washington act like we’re too NAIVE to handle the facts.
    They tell us we’re crazy like we can’t see these things flying through the air with our own eyes.
    I SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The American people aren’t children to be spoon-fed half-truths or dismissed with vague excuses. We deserve to know what’s really going on up there.
    The email blast also added a link to donate and another that asked, “Are aliens real?!”
     

    They tell us we are crazy!!
    …and they’re right!!!
  3. “Wasted Days and Wasted Nights.”  “Before the Next Teardrop Falls” could be here too but I’m choosing this one. 
     
    From the shoutout to Sir Douglas, the piano flourish, and Freddy’s perfectly heartbreaking tenor kicking it off, it’s all correct. For anyone who drank away a night at a bar to get over a heartbreak, or anyone who ever imagined they did. 
     
     

    My band covers this one. Pride of San Benito everybody!

  4. It feels like the insanity has really ramped up in the past couple of days. What is happening?  He doesn’t know what habeas corpus is, people are seriously talking about him getting a Nobel prize, he’s openly attacking American cities…it’s crossing the line into absurdity and not coming back. 

    This is our concern, dude.

  5. Yeah so I'm back this weekend for volunteer shifts and I'll be able to see him.  THIS time I am not going to sit in the Tito's tent for 40 minutes to watch a disappointing Passion Pit set.  I'll head over to T-Pain.  Will also check out Polo & Pan - heard so many good things about their set.
    Did anyone hit La Lom?  How were they?
    Also, I loved the Wet Leg show but I'll check out Midnight Generation this weekend. 
    I fully expect this is how I will feel after W2

    I saw La Lom and it was cool. Then again, I was in an instrumental surf rock trio for a while so they’re kind of in my wheelhouse. Except Latin instead of surf. I really dig their band logo.

    Damn. I thought I got a better shot. Oh well it was fun!

    They see that Russia is imploding, and they are probably pretty sure that they won’t be invaded by the Russians anytime soon, given the circumstances, even if their border checkpoints cause Russia some logistical problems by delaying military supplies.

    Given the region, it’s probably not more complex than Kazakhstan’s leaders using the moment to get something out of Russia in return for letting the Chinese military stuff through again.  Either that, or China has no problem/encourages this, helping Russia’s descent into its impending implosion - all while appearing to provide support.  A weak Russia with problems can only greatly benefit China in a myriad of ways in the long run.  And in the short run they can continue raping Russia by insisting on cheaper crude oil exports as Russia’s cash poor self can’t protest. 

    Then again, it may just be the same old story: when a bully has victimized someone over a long period of time - and that victim now has the opportunity to obtain a measure of revenge against the bully - they will.

    I choose:

    Poor dudes. They just wanted to serve one weekend a month half an hour from their house to pay off some debt. Maybe hold a gun a little, or put up some sandbags to help the community. Not get shipped across the country for political theater and have everyone make a meme out of their fat asses.

    Abbotts been using them for political theater on the southern border for years.  So they were on notice.

    Hah, that wasn't my intent... but it was a damn good performance and the last time I saw Tom Petty.

    At the time I lived across the river from Zilker- and less than a month later the Rolling Stones played Zilker Park, which was also a great time.

    I was at that Stones show.  I was in Dallas, literally getting in a car to go to the State Fair when a friend in Austin called and said, "You want to go see the Stones tonight?"  Why yes, yes I do.  So instead of going to the Fair, I was southbound 35 pronto.

    I feel bad that I wrote this guy off early on.  His cover of "War Pigs" blew my mind -- terrific band and he totally brought it.  Live and learn, I guess.

    I wrote him off, and then a younger hipper person at work said, "You should really go see him."  She was right.  

    Now I'm off to look up his version of "War Pigs"...

  11. Yup. True.  But I think there is a certain psychological aspect to having ICBMs launched at your city with the best result, being a flamingo being shut down by your local missile defense.
    Moscow residents need to hear air raid warning sirens as well.
    mostly, I want to see if they can knock down 30 of them at once or slightly staggered.

    What’s the point of throwing an 87 year old out a window?

  12. Looking at my notes for Sunday:

    Chuwi - Really fun Puerto Rican band.  This was probably my "nice surprise" of the day.  The crowd was almost as fun as the band.

    Rainbow Kitten Surprise - Saw about half this set.  

    Wet Leg - Saw about half of this set.  Reminded me of The Breeders, but if they were fit and hung out at the beach.

    Gigi Perez - Meh.

    T-Pain - Damn, this man came to put on a show. Non stop fun.

    MK.Gee - I totally did not get this one.  Like, there were times when I was like, "Is there even someone playing? Or is it just that the equipment is left on and making noise?"

    The Killers - No further discussion needed.

    This was absolutely brilliant. Ukes knew boot up and target acquisition time on Russian AA, even knew exactly where to hit, and the time it took valves to close. This was Russia's big chemical plant that makes the propellent for rocket engines, and ammonium nitrate for artillery shells.

    CHIEF

    Doesn't this seem like a lot of inside information really quickly?  Does that strike anyone else as odd?  

    Why would they want to drag their balls across Russia's face with this, unless all this was compromised already?

    Honestly, I've bailed on more headliners than I can count.  Kanye/Coldplay come to mind -- both sucked, I just went home.  The Cure was another, but that was because of rain.  The crowds are so insane for the headliners that I just don't have the gumption to fight my way close enough to matter.  I remember watching the Foos recently and thinking "what the fuck am I doing here, I've seen them a half dozen times from 3X as close as this?".

    I went home on all those you mentioned.  Same same.  

    There was the one year its started raining for Tom Petty and they were delaying starting.  So I was like, "Fuck this I'm not standing out here in the rain."  Walked all the way back to pick up my ride at the high school across the river - just as they started back up again.  But I was too tired to walk back.

    The problem with that approach for me is that some of the best performances I've seen often come early in the day.  James Bay (2014) is an example.  True Believers (2013) is another.

    This is completely valid.  I just have to take my chances.  I recognize at this point that while staying all day is an option, it's just not a fun option any more.  It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.  Especially since I go 3 days every year.  By the time Sunday comes around, I'm much more sanguine about just sitting in one place and seeing whoever happens to be on the stages on either side of me.  It's just how I do it now.  That and spending Tuesday coughing up little bits of Zilker as we speak as a happy reminder of good times.  Yum!

    I did open to close all three days.  Its not easy (I'm Gen-X for perspective) but I still power through.  I recovered Saturday and Sunday mornings from the previous days but Monday... nah, man, that sucked.  The back and the lungs by the end of day three are pissed off.

    I don't know how you do that anymore man, but more power to you.  I usually get there around 3-ish until close.  I used to go open to close to get my money's worth, but there came a point where it felt more like an endurance test than a good time.  I've found my happy medium.

    I watched The Killers on the Hulu livestream and was completely underwhelmed. Have heard for years how amazing their live shows were and this was the most basic white-ass music and performance I could imagine. Whiskey River was an absolutely terrible rendition.

     

    I guess I just don't get it.

    They were ok.  It was a big slick Vegas-style production put over a rock band context.  I thought WR was kind of a fun nod, though as you state it was pretty basic.  Would I have rather seen Doja Cat?  No doubt.  

  18. Man Japanese Breakfast put on a killer set this evening. They were on point having been on tour behind the latest album for a while. A shame it was way under attended as folks were staking claims for Strokes and Sabrina Carpenter. Saw the full Strokes set and the last 30 minutes of Sabrina Carpenter. They were both exactly what I had anticipated with no surprises. Talk about two wildly different approaches to state production though. Crazy.

    Saw at least all or part of:

    Ocean alley
    Modest mouse
    La Lom
    Latin Mafia
    Magdalena Bay
    Doechii

    The Doechii-Japanese Breakfast-Strokes run was the best of the day.
