I havenāt heard of Mikeās. Thereās one on forest that I pass by when I head down to deep ellum on concert nights. This gives me a good reason to drop in and try them out.
I make jalapeno fried chicken a few times every year. My MIL says itās the best fried chicken sheās ever had.
Chicken thighs brined in vinegar, jalapenos, garlic cloves, cilantro, salt and pepper overnight.
Breading is flour, cayenne, paprika, dried oregano and granulated garlic.
Recipe comes from homesick texan - family cookbook.
My wife now refuses to eat fried chicken from anywhere else.
One is a great choice.
Interestingly enough, I remember the Laās being interviewed when āThere she goesā was released, and they hated the recording because they felt it didnāt capture the energy of their live performance.
For universal like-ability, a message of positivity and hope resonates with everyone. Izās voice and the simplicity of āsomewhere over the rainbowā delivers.
Garbage and Starcrawler last night was on point.
If anyoneās interested, they have a show at ACL Live tonight.
Starcrawler were decked out in their signature hot pink and black. Wrapped up their set with ābet my brainsā. Guitarist always closes the song by walking through the audience. Great and short performance. They always get the crowd juiced up.
Shirley had a lot to say. Some kind words about her father, some CR, some thoughts on the music industry, and an audience participation happy birthday sing along to their tour manager complete with the non-standard hip hip hooray at the end. Very personable and made a connection with the audience.
Wearing that kilt, she had everyoneās attention.
I got starcrawler opening for garbage tomorrow in deep ellum.
Starcrawler is always entertaining. Iāve seen them twice. They won me over first time I saw them at stubbs. Female lead singer yells at us olds, āyouāre gonna want to turn your hearing aids up for this oneā, threw a water bottle into the crowd, and launched into ābet my brainsā. Punk as fuck.
Iāve been so drunk that people would stop and take a double take at me and my girl while we were stumbling down bourbon street.
I have never thought - hmmm⦠Iām gonna go karen that delivery truck driver down this alley because reasons.
The guy was working. Pretty much every place of business says firearms are not allowed on the premises. Pepper spray seems like a good first option, and if that isnāt effective, a knife is the second option.
He may very well have encountered situations in his working career that deemed a knife necessary. Hell, he may have carried a box knife for work purposes. I havenāt seen any details on the type of knife.
Running wind sprints in an alley and a grease disposal truck operator blocks the alley? Was there a speedometer nearby and the truck was preventing butt fumble from achieving usainbolt velocity powered by tequila?
I saw Wolf Alice last night. Odd show. They put on a great performance but the music is all over the place. Some very pop tunes, some near punk, one made me think of the band Winger, and one group sing along.
Odd cast of band members from the sing along. From the left.
lead guitarist pulled straight from the cureās just like heaven video
keyboard player was on his way to a sports bar to watch a football game
lead singer. Sheās got a helluva voice and looked the part
drummer looks like a fan of Motorhead
bassist is a high energy performer pulled from the 80ās band The Hooters
Oct lineup
Wolf Alice at HOB in dallas
Garbage and Starcrawler at bomb factory
Fri, sat, sun weekend that may kill me: Fri -The Stews at echo lounge in dallas, Sat - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at mohawk in austin, Sun - F1 race + Turnpike Troubadours are playing at F1 after the race
Iād like to catch The Cult but theyāre playing in Ft Worth the monday after F1 so thatās not gonna happen.
Lord Huron and Kevin Morby in irving
Iāve seen them twice. Once at kessler and once at longhorn saloon. The kessler is such an intimate venue that it appears some bands tone it down there. The longhorn saloon show earlier this year was really good.
Theyāre playing the saloon again in nov with jamestown revival. Iām in for that show.
Iām seeing them in Irving on sat night. Pretty stoked about it.
Let me know how it goes.
I also have Softcult on fri night and Sun Room on sun night both in deep ellum.
Iām hoping lenny will come through dallas sometime. I saw him open for the cult in dallas around 1990 or so. Some asshole was throwing bottles at him.
