Blastfurnace 2025
I don't know where y'all are but in my Austin backyard, today has been bad ass. Set up my office on the back table under the covered porch and it has been excellent.

Shady Grove - RIP
My gut tells me this will be just as much the Shady Grove as the Hut's in ABIA

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Those of us in SW Austin would like a word on our inclusion. Besides, if you make those the borders, you can F off and not come to Sagebrush, Sam's Town Point, Armadillo Den, St. Elmo, Leroy & Lewis, The Far Out, Little Darlin' etc

“‘SOS’ is the best pop song ever written,” he once told The Independent. “It has all those Swedish folk elements that tap into whatever elemental musical self we have”.
I'm going to keep this on track... ABBA is so good! Not ashamed of absolutely loving their stuff. Speaking of Frida...

Nah we're good being Austin without the other cities.

"No Doubt" to do a Sphere cash grab
I can't believe they're not playing for free and handing out free merch to all attendees. The nerve...

Palm Springs
It appears to have appreciated... a bit. https://www.homestratosphere.com/john-lautners-elrod-house-in-palm-springs-ca-listed-for-8-million/ PS is awesome though. From the architecture to the desert vibes to all the great hiking (yes, even in the summer), I love it. Haven't been in years, though.

Hard to believe the Lautner house was sold at rock bottom prices

2025 ACL
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

Pretty much what it felt like, yes.

Tariff wars, they have began
I mean, stuff like this... what is the point? Just to be petty or to protect the ever-so-important American pasta lobby? Sorry man, I'm not switching to garbage pasta...

2025 ACL
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.

Man, that's where I am. I don't get the love for The Killers save for one song. I mean, I'd rather see The Strokes mailing it in than The Killers put in an effort. This, gentlemen, is why you should get to know the bands lower in the lineup. That's where you find gold.

Don't know how the openers will work since I've seen Wet Leg twice and both times at ACL ('22 and '25). That said, very interesting to read about Courtney Barnett because I really like her music but have never seen her live. Duly noted for the future. Meanwhile... they know how to start a set! This is a band that still very much feels like they appreciate how far they have come and their fans.

Dude... you're going to love their show. They're so good and I love how they can really rock out aside from their more popular songs. Looked at the openers... INOHA is pretty good. They're getting their footing and are SATX boys slowly making their name. Show them so love.
