tinnitus photography

the previous tour (two years ago? three maybe?) was awesome. enjoy!

my settings were way off as i was just leaving the photo pit so i had to really boost exposure in Lightroom, hence the noise. OLP played The Paradise the other night. were they some sort of alt.grunge band? I honestly can't think of a single thing about them.

lol, no. as i was holding the camera in one hand and walking away from them, some security guy of theirs flashed a light at me a couple of times. essentially saying, stop it.

i saw Slash and Duff at the Queens of the Stone Age show last night.

someone told him it was a Renoir.

also heard The Ruling Class when I got closer to the register. a solid hour of waiting for the opportunity to buy beer. what the hell was i thinking?

Remember the Mountain Bed while in line at Tree House

i didn't realize there was a Belly cover on it. nor did i realize that the Dirty Two played on some of the tracks.

for me, their records have gotten less and less interesting, but their live shows have become increasingly good.

to be honest i really wanted to hate Judge but after seeing him on the home run derby he's just a really likable player.

i watched the first episode of Vietnam last night, and came across this excellent critique via a friend's facebook page. it's worth reading and even though i've barely scratched the surface of Burns' work, it rings totally true. i was surprised to see that David Koch was an executive producer of it. https://www.commondreams.org/views/2017/10/15/does-vietnam-even-matter-any-more-does-ken-burns

fucking Lackey....

he's got some great songs...only saw him once, opening for the Pixies on the Trompe Le Monde tour. here are two of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3tZzbNsbEA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6-JOpf-Bg4

according to facebook, it's Mark's birthday today.

Real Estate played Solid Sound in 2015.

god this Mondanile story is fucking gross and depressing. https://www.spin.com/featured/matt-mondanile-ducktails-real-estate-sexual-misconduct-allegations-detailed/

The Soft.

like as an ensemble? or three different acts on the bill? Corsano is an unreal drummer. i saw Lee open for Swans a couple tours back. not bad.

the Vile/Barnett joint

let's hope it never escalates to this

I'd figure they would at least include a download link but maybe they figure it's a way to sell more CDs.

?

yeah that's a bit of a shortcoming. i passed on AM but got BT.

dude is huge in the Dad Blooz crowd...a good friend of mine loves this d-bag and has seen him play probably a dozen times (and paid $$$ for each ticket). i don't get it either.
