I came here via 1980's DC youth applying melody to their guitars.

Was out hiking all morning...so I earned this last hopslam. Tunes are well aligned with the peacefulness I always feel after a good hike. Such a great cover of Tom Petty’s Wildflowers on this thing.

Music is Ease On Down The Road by Bonnie Prince Billy
Beer is What’s She’s Having from Wooden Robot

Just in case Hell does actually freeze over and the world comes to an end once this cold sets in, I'm going to spend tonight with some good beer and some of my favorite albums from the past year. Here's to temperatures so cold I don't want to leave my blanket fort.

Album: Daughters - You Won't Get What You Want
Beer: Trillium & J Wakefield Vanilla Truffle

 

[Pierre Pressure]

Technically this album is a compilation of their two earlier EPs, but it wasn't available on vinyl until last year. Beer is the same...didn't plan ahead, **** needs to warm up a bit.

Violent Femmes never get old. This white rajah beer however, either sat on shelf too long or recipe changed

Hope to god it’s the former. Haven’t had that beer in ages but it was always one of my fave hoppy beers from around there.

 

[Pierre Pressure]

Picking up (sort of) where I left off yesterday. Why go out in negative degree weather when I can just sit around and do this all night? Beer is Singlecut's Heavy Boots of Lead. Buzzcocks are awesome and we need to get more of their albums.

 

[Pierre Pressure]

Yeah, they're kind of goofy and gimmicky, but their entire catalogue is catchy and their live show was quite fun.

"scum of the city
I don’t need no pity
Holed up in L.A.
The hills where I play
I’m a hillside strangler"

Last night was special... Listened to Arthur on repeat and nursed my last 13' BCBS

 

[kbuzz1]

and nursed my last 13' BCBS

I know I shouldn't care, but I still miss the entire aesthetic of old BCBS.

I get it, the gold accents on the font were deluxe. The new packaging sucks, plus who wants to solo open 16.5 oz of bcbs on a weeknight?

Hip Hop Friday drbenzo

 

[ripps1]

Really love this album. I saw Mike Ness perform this album and “Under the Influence” at the stone pony in Asbury Park NJ. Went to the Friday show. During the Saturday show this guy named Bruce Springsteen was hanging out in the crowd. After a few songs, he walked up on stage, grabbed a guitar and played a few songs with him. Man, I wish I brought tickets for the Saturday show.

I’ll yell you what...Mike Ness helped me realize a long ass time ago how little of a difference there really is between punk rock, rock, country, Appalachian hymn, European folk, bluegrass, American folk, blues, etc.. Not saying he was any sort of trailblazer in the genre-bending game, but he made it clear to me just how fine of a line there really is as far as song structure. It’s all just ancient melody.

I hear what you are saying. He helped open my eyes to start listening to more country/bluegrass/folk music. Him and Johnny Cash

Long overdue purchase of this thing.

The C.I.A. - S/T
Local beer from Lenny Boy - Breakfast in Heaven (4-pack 12 oz BA coffee stout for 11.69+...**** yeah)

Well ....
Sigh....

All of Ty’s projects can’t be winners I guess. It’s not bad, but the standard that Ty has set, that’s saying something. This should have been better than this. Ty has many (plural) better punk”ish” albums than this one. I will be completely candid - if there were live drums, it could have convinced me more...but a drum machine can never be more than a stand-in to allow focus on everything else. And everything else on this album could have used some live ****ing drums. Just didn’t work. ****. I forgive you Ty.

I tried to warn you....

 

[kbuzz1]

MM my boy - my Mick Jagger....keep rocking sucka

 

[kbuzz1]

I feel bad if this was your T.S. starting point.

GOGGS is the immediate upgrade to this version of Ty. But his best album had to have been the collab with Presley - short but sweet. Near perfection. Freedoms goblin in second place...fudge sandwich, etc....

I don't look at it as a "bad" album per se, more of a rough unfinished album that does show promise that this project could be something I really like. There were a couple of tracks that I quite enjoyed and with some tweaks and a bit of refinement I could see this being more my kind of thing than a lot of the other stuff I've heard from him.

Probably once per weekend (at least) from here on out...sorry.

This is the song that helps me cope with our dead dog. ****.

Doug Paisley is the most perfect **** for me right now..

I cannot in good conscience support either Weezer or Boston's bro beer at this time.
