I don't think I actually have any locals here that wouldn't have seen this already but I'm playing an acoustic in a park on my birthday and made a flyer for it

The 3x3

I see people have already commented about the upside down part but is this also in an open tuning? My first guess was drop D but I'm not so sure

DO NOT LET ME INTO THAT LOCAL RECORD STORE I WILL BUY STUFF

About halfway through Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. I think I generally prefer Spy Who Came in from the Cold's character focus over the sort of procedural nature of this one but part of that might be that I had to start this book over a time or two

In my defense I'm the only guitar player and I rarely do double stops in like anything

Fucked up the guitar interlude from The Go-Betweens' Spring Rain during a breakout practice with our drummer. Can never show my face here again

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE LINUX YES I'M NOT VERY SMART NO DON'T REPLY TO ME

Considering the prospect of a guerilla gig. Just showing up with an acoustic in a park some evening

Oh, update on this, it's been sent off for mastering. No things coming ever, as usual

Was given one of those goofy migraine caps recently and used it today. Really great for however long it stays cold

Number Girl - Shibuya Rockstransformed Jōtai

Adding the ones here I haven't heard to my backlog expeditiously but while I'm here might I raise:

I need Perennial to come back to Athens sooner rather than later I think about that gig nearly every day and I wish I could share that memory with more than like one friend of mine

The vocals even in some of the loudest parts on the record all feel very reserved in a cool way. It's a really interesting breed of 1994 rock. It's cleaner than most grunge but the production still feels hands-off compared to, say, the Siamese Dreams of the world (1993 is part of the long 1994)

Album cover for Versus' The Stars Are Insane

Happened to find a copy of The Stars Are Insane by Versus the other day. Criminally overlooked band

You could dismiss them as loud-quiet waveriders but there's a certain precision and delicacy with which they approach the whole thing that sets the album apart

Tried to put Swirlies' "They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons" on a DAP of mine today and was having a ton of difficulty with it. Turns out that the album just broke some kind of character limit

We're in a weird period right now. We have like 11 songs that make it into setlists and 7 put to tape (1 of which is released). The 4 that we haven't recorded are the ones I'm the most excited about and the majority of those 7 are the ones I've spent over a year with now. I want to mess w new stuff

New single at some point soon. It's called Do-Nothing and while it was on that demo tape from a while ago it's practically a different song now

I wasn't really into it when I watched an episode of the anime ages and ages ago but reading Nana's made me a fan, I think. Might need to revisit

Going through my collection today. A bunch of things I keep forgetting I have on CD:
Lush - Split
UNKLE - Psyence Fiction
Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman

The Lush CD I actually found at a thrift store, which seems crazy

Does anybody know where my Television S/T CD went...

Oh and some Joyce Manor!

Updating my mp3 player finally with some Ted Leo, The Fall, and +/- (Versus-adjacent project), Perennial, and glocca morra. Would be adding more but my car with a bunch of CDs I was going to copy is still at the shop rn

Again, get to the gig

Drafting another post

(Cameron Winter voice): Poopin around, flushin it down. All I want is a bathroom

Truke

Weekly music chart. New Joyce Manor's solid. Weebed out for a bit

Was told I should tap into the Atlanta screamo scene because almost everybody has an encyclopedic knowledge of JRPGs. We HAVE been needing to do some more stuff regionally

Staple is probably the Cranberries cover. There's always one

I do like the guy who plays instrumental Geese and Elliott Smith covers on the piano
