72 minutes of Thin Lizzy guitar action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13sLQbqeWuA

fair enough. thanks for checking it out!

maybe it was the first one then? my memory ain't what it used to be.

long psych/metal jams. maybe Ancestors? they don't really sound like a lot of bands. here's a good representation of their sound, a song from their last record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMhm7ZtWy3M

i like Taylor Swift's cover.

at the 2nd SSF, they soundchecked "Say You Miss Me" but sadly wasn't in the set.

thank you!

photos and review of the Electric Wizard show (click on photo)

you can put yourself typing that on an endless loop and it still won't be true.

Elder - Lore Album of the year so far

i'm pretty sure Hixter's got the answer all typed out, we just have to wait until he hits 'Post'

made it over and bought 12 btls, six of Congress St IPA and six of Melcher St IPA drank a Congress after skiing yesterday and holy shit this stuff is good.

it's been 12 years since Electric Wizard last toured the US, but it was worth it. holy fuck was that awesome. if anyone gives a shit i will post some photos and a review later.

we read what we want to read. both sides. http://www.newyorker.com/news/amy-davidson/on-iran-obama-gets-his-breakthrough “Iran is not going to simply dismantle its program because we demand it to do so,” the President said. “That’s not how the world works. And that’s not what history shows us.”

Electric Wizard. Finally.

i like the Newport Folk Fest method... there's a place for blankets and chairs, but it ain't in front of the stage.

the 1st side of _Boxer_ is so good, though.

Boxer or Alligator.

i'm *really* hoping for a chair/blanket free zone in front of the stage.

i'd be surprised if a canceled show doesn't refund the LN fee. very surprised. if you want to trade pre-ticket buying stress (for how many days of the year, two or three?) for the stress i regularly go through during the process of concert photography, i'm game for a Freaky Friday swap for a week. i'll even let you keep all that lucrative windfall.

What does the price of a ticket matter? Or is it that you are not getting a refund?

thank the FSM that you're not a fan of All Tomorrow's Parties, which have canceled at least three festivals at the last minute. it's one goddamned show and you're getting your $ back. suck it up, princess. last i checked, Chicago isn't too far away.

no i haven't but i have friday off... may make a visit.

this is hardly restricted to craft beer/liquor stores.... restaurants, record stores, wine shops...most retail shops will identify their best customers and figure out ways to keep them. the good news is that there are a ton of great beers out there, so if you can't taste one particular beer, big deal. i hope you're not a GBV fan; the recent Dogfish Head Beer Thousand with 10" record distribution debacle may have sent you over the edge.

this beer came out after Pike got out of rehab.
