Grooms + Royal Bangs = wooh

Finally got to see Grooms (AKA Muggabears) after listening to them for a few years now, I was impressed, this is a band that should be around for a long time, quality songwriting and noise inundated fun. Their new record "Rejoicer" comes out on 10/20 and man is it well worth picking up. Check it out if you love polvo, sonic youth and so on.
Also got to see the Royal Bangs again, this band impresses me so much, they somehow got even more dancey, I don't know how but they did it and the guitarists had awesome facial hair happening, lol but really, they were superb.
xox at sans

well howdy doo dah

it's been a while since I posted, but with the pandemic h1n1 knocking on the proverbial door I thought I would drop in and say hi, HI.
I saw a youtube of thom yorke playing with flea yesterday and well, as it wasn't truly bad per se, it made me think of Charlie and candy mountain from robot chicken. Those wacky unicorns.
Since my last post infinity things have transpired, Sans = XOxoXO
Went to Ren Fest, threw some axes.
and have found myself chasing the vintage vox unicorns like pictured above.

Looking forward to the next 14 days, Royal Bangs and Grooms (aka muggabears) are playing here.

glad to have my head back

felt like I was in the clouds there for a bit. My new band had it's first show the other night and it went pretty well, actually a lot better than I had hoped. Also hell week of work is over and man, things can get back to normal soon :D
I have missed actually thinking/talking
I watched these two guys down the way talking about how perverted they are at work, then they saw a girl walk up in a dress, of course chivalry got the better of them and one opened that oh so heavy door for her, then they commented on her ass at full volume. Hey dudes! I sit up front sometimes and if there is no crapola music playing you can hear people outside if they're loud, which you two pissbags were.
xox to sans

oof, love the sg classic

I played one of these on a random tangent (I had been looking at semi hollow body Grestch's) long story short, I really really liked it, extremely playable and the action was actually right? Perhaps these guitars come from some other Gibson plant? The binding on the neck was also a bonus and smooth as butter.
UPS killed one of my amps, it was a sad day for me, see pictured:

even in it's battered state it looked awesome, UPS is not being cool about paying for the damages again.

I have a headache and well, I slept all day, sans is the best.
I was watching Jurassic park 3, amazing!

listening to hood again and coveting Traynor heads. AKA: Kale makes me toot

Started listening to Hood- Cold House on repeat at the office, for some people this would be a sad affair as they write some epic sad bastard music, but for me this was a call to arms of sorts, it really helped me put some music stuff in perspective. They have been a favorite of mine for quite a long time but for the last 6 months or so I probably haven't listened to them for longer than the Home Is Where it Hurts EP, which I HIGHLY recommend to anyone!
I have been coveting the smaller wattage handwired Traynor heads, I love the tone on my recent pick up but I feel like with the amount of turbulence this 45 watter has I bet the little 25 watter would be loud enough to play with a drummer.

also, Kale makes me toot.
Sans made a delicious little Kale based meal that I had like 3 servings of, kudos to my babe!

feeling even worse

not capable of a single actual thought, listening to giardini di miro, the best band from Italy that I have ever heard this ep in specific does it for me, oh and the song that hood does of theirs is also amazing.

gonna sit around with the duo-sonic for the majority of this evening since my brain is fried out

hey, my lady is rad

not feeling too awesome

listened to a lot of centro-matic over the last week though, quite an underappreciated band.

think i have some kind of flu maybe or whatever my throat is killing me, maybe it's just a general "The weather changed mighty abruptly bodily objection", either way it sucks.
This weekend was Pippin, it was pretty awesome, the stage was well done and very pleasing to the eye, the lady does wee good work!
Many things happened in a very short period of time this weekend and hey, pretty much the last 7 days, not too much to post about during that time because I was sucked into music, work, sans, sleep, etc.

Got this Bluesbreaker clone cab the other day and wired it up in parallel, sitting upon it is the mighty 1965 bassman head, quite expected these two together = SUPER LOUD

sorry we didn't get to talk more Naomi and Donna!
