i guess there's really no more hiding the fact that the GOP is the party of white supremacists. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2016/07/18/steve-king-creates-uproar-salute-to-contributions-of-white-people/87270220/

yeah Jim's been playing w/ him for a while now.

so i guess you don't really follow the NBA?

Thanks! that's way up on the list of the biggest WTF moments i've seen on stage.

"What the fuck did I sign on for?"

are you gonna see Macca?

yeah but i'll be 250' away... as the kids are still at summer camp, i figure i'll take advantage and do something fun w/ my wife tonight.

i rented a 500mm for Macca on Sunday, and a friend tried to convince me to put in for one of the two Dead & Co shows. Nah.

well the records i am interested in are original pressings from New Zealand, pressed in small quantities. but even new records are $20 a pop or more now.

eh, looks like the re-press is $48 from Bull Moose... looks like i was a few months late w/ this.

what's good money? looking at discogs, most are priced at $200 or so. is that realistic? there are a couple of records on Discogs that I could use, and $200 would make a nice dent in that total.

i'll trade my copy for a mint Vertigo pressing of the first Sabbath record, or Vol 4.

i saw Guided By Voices last night, with a bunch of friends and unencumbered with camera gear or the need to take photos in a jammed club w/o a photo pit. it was blissful.

even better, now i have a free ticket to GBV!

set lists have been about 40 songs.

looks like i'll be going to GBV after all, but just as a fan.

a bartender in NOLA turned me onto this guy last year when i noticed he was playing Brian Jonestown Massacre over the house stereo. Good stuff. We shot the shit about music over my last two drinks.

on that note, here's a fantastic read:

hang on... I swear it was on here the other day, but no clue where it went!

probably seeing some rocket heading off to space. i also have vague memories of Watergate.

i did three shows (Sleep; Marty Willson-Piper; FLAG) before heading to Iceland, and though the festival was canceled we did get to see Sleep and Thee Oh Sees/Angel Olsen shows. I was posting older photos taken at ATP as a memorial. I actually shot Phish at Fenway a while back... put in for it as two good friends are massive Phish fans. DO NOT FORGET EAR PLUGS. seriously. you will damage your hearing. Gira's got a thing for thunderous volume. I've seen this lineup four times now and this is their last go-round before Gira dissolves Swans into some new form. It's not easy listening, but
