Really Jeremiah? A trick or treat trick? I couldn’t do that…to pick one would be like making a Sophie’s choice and it kind of creeped me out. No, no..no.
I’m laughing so hard….I took a fast look at that pumpkin from my phone here without glasses and thought it said “sex and doh” like some sort of brilliant Gangsta slang pumpkin….I was gonna suggest the addition of a few dollar signs to make it better. I stayed up way too late watching Zach Mettenberger highlights last night…of course my brain went straight there this morning.
yup…life gets hectic from time to time….I’ve eased the stress now by waking up each day and eating a pot cookie…washing that down with a whole bunch of chocolate milk and standing on the side of the road with a sign that says “God loves You” and I point at the passengers in the vehicles and give them a little smile and nod….I share a corner with a guy that has a sign that reads…”I’m Mchungry …. when when you give me money…I’ll be Mc LOVIN’ you.
GEEZ….I wish this post was true….I did see a homeless guy holding that sign the other day….and it brought tears to my eyes (from laughter)….I wish I could have given him a couple of bucks but as usual I was running late. Bummer.
Haven’t tried to watch it yet…no time…but does it get much better than “get lucky” and “war pigs”…..I don’t think so.
Thank You….for getting that so I could listen/watch. I planned to just watch the first song and see how Kyle was doing but….I listened to the first song and it was kinda fresh and smoking and then….the second song…Oh, it’s watch the corners…and it sounded so lively and good…I was surprised and then I was liked hooked…I threw my feet up and watched the whole thing, it’s been a loooooong time since I have wanted to do that with a Dinosaur Jr show, especially a festival show….I had promised the kids a trip to the pool and my youngest kept running into the room in his swimsuit and goggles…flailing his arms and mouthing something like “MOM…MOM” and I just kept giving him the “1 second” finger and telling him…”it’s impossible for me to hear you with these headphones on”….only 34 minutes left.
I’m trying to turn over a new leaf and not kick folks when they are down…it’s much easier to just bend over and help them up…but not when they are asleep…you can’t pick a full grown man up off the ground….but kick em a few times and wake em up…then it’s somewhat easier to help them off the ground.
That said…LOL….damn…that show was banging. Sure I might be biased toward Kyle because everyone likes to see a hometown son make good…. and I also think some situations could use a little Gemini inspiration (air) from time to time….fresh air tends to stir things up and move things around in a good way. Everything about that show above sounded good….from the beginning to the end….and I don’t just say that lightly…I’m so jaded by fucking life and tend to complain a lot (Thank God for a partner who is blindly optimistic and positive) After listening to that show…If I were Murph, I would be reeling it in and shaking it off…and getting back up….least he end up in a old Southern saying…”all alone and plucking a two string guitar” . I do remember as a kid hearing that saying ( to describe friends,family and neighbors who were, for whatever reason….isolating and fucking up) and it would set me to thinking….Wow, that sounds like an awesome goal. I want to live alone and pluck a two string guitar. Daddy, Can I have a two string guitar? Certainly felt like it would provide less fucking stress than real life. Easy to see why I had folks kicking me in the face when I got down (for the second time)…and then pulling me up by the pony tail and slamming my teeth into the dirt like a bunch of times. Not fun. Life is so sweet and soft now…It took almost 50 years for me to see that the shitty and heart wrenching situations that life tosses up from time to time provide the grist that grinds and polishes our soul into perfection.
Love to Murph…that was my little bit of “friend-ter-vention” That festival show in England sounds too good to ignore. Although seriously, heads up….there is a group of semi-homeless drummers here in Athens…they have camp stoves, can openers, beer, wine, whiskey, weed and shit. Warm weather 9 months out of the year. Unfortunately..not a lot of girls around (wonder why?) but they don’t seem to mind… they do lots of living out of their vehicles and bitching about “all the hard work of drumming with none of the glory”…it’s like the repeating mantra. They work for 9 bucks an hour. It’s not hard to find a good one ….his work is long and hard, clean and precise…. and dead ass on the money all day long….totally worth the 9 bucks! Oh, I had to edit and add…you sometimes have to remind them that they need to put a shirt on when you get ready to take them out to eat (because it’s been two days since their last meal) and wait until after 4 to pay them…otherwise they start getting fucked up too early and end up wanting to play drums instead of, you know, working. Rebuilding my house with some of these guys right now…not really joking.
I’m trying to be positive…I just read over this post and although I’ve turned over a new leaf…I may need some “tweaking”. Slow work in progress.
I had to say…that although I’ve said here before that I didn’t like that deep wound stuff….I’ve discovered….for me….its not for listening to at home or in the car…but this type of sound works best live and in person. Our new moon Gemini Saturday celebration band did their thang in this tiny space (holds 50?) We sat against a back wall on a table and the pictures on the walls were shaking, the table was vibrating, the floor was humming along with my ass, rib cage and pineal gland. Afterwards, walking back to the car….everything felt still very stimulated…like you know what I mean, the body was still processing it, still sort of humming…and I turned to my friend and said…”I think we just got fucked with sound”….that puts it into a kind of performance art type of event. I was super stoned which made it even more tasty. I had not had this thing happen before sooooo strongly. I suppose the smaller the club the deeper the rub. I don’t know. They are playing again in a few weeks at another small space and my girl and I are so already there. The sound brothel experience is what we are calling it. Oh God…
Damn….that was fucking awesome….saw a band in Athens Saturday night that had that deep sludgey sound…pressed us into the freaking floor. It was N I C E (screamed in my deepest harshest voice)….after the show, we were like hmmm, was that really so awesome or were we just so in need of a diversion.
Man, we were just talking last night….trying to figure out when we are going to get some Dinosaur Jr up in here again. We came up with late November or December…jeez, that’s a long way away. Our sweet little town is Athens GA, not Atlanta, just a gentle reminder.
Stunningly bedraggled…… gosh Tubby there might have been a bit of divine inspiration involved in the throwing together of those two words. I really did laugh out loud…brilliant. J has been working the bedraggled look for some time now. I start to feel bedraggled every time I see a list of Dinosaur Jr tour dates….it’s like on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on OFF, on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on OFF.
Oh, I’m dying here…not kidding, I’m on day 6 of bed rest, so bored I decided to watch this. Wow…..that was a little slice of boy heaven….man, I’m so slack, if I were J, the only guitars I would haul around on a tour would be the top performers, trusty crusty 1 and it’s double, trusty crusty 2. I’ve seen trusty crusty 1 (the crustier) handle a lot of work. I wish I didn’t feel so bad because there were some things that made me laugh but my ass has been kicked so hard to the ground that I have little energy to make humor. I’m just too weak. Although, the last shower I had was on Monday and I had a friend come and visit me and she was like “good god girl, let me help you, you’ve got J Mascis hair” It looked really just about like J’s in this video. We got the hair fixed up, you know when you feel like you are dying you just don’t give a shit. She was like, you will feel better if we fix your hair…..and she was (ba_pa_dum) incorrect, I still feel like shit. Had to edit…wait…I think J said that he just likes to travel around these days with trusty crusty 1 and 2…but it seems like I always see more than that.
I agree, I can’t like skateboard…although it could end up being brilliantly funny. I’m a 48 year old mother of 4….I don’t think I can make this work.
