Ryan - Do you still live in Austin? Did you catch John Talley-Jones when he played a few months back?

Music Shit / Re: MOTO and Final Solutions live recordings from 2005 Blackout
« on: November 12, 2018, 05:31:32 PM »
Final Solutions at GF 4 (2007) was really good. And the only time I saw them. I remember Jay yelling at the band for stopping in between songs, yelling stuff like "Stop drinking your fucking beer and play!"

Best band. Got to see them live a few times in the late '90s, early 00s. Too young to have seen them in their heyday.

Chili Dog Fest is my favorite SXSW-related event (even though they didn't do it last year). Not so much a fest of chili dogs (you only get one per admission) but it's for a good cause (benefit for the local food bank). Lots of local bands, good time all around.

Oof, those are killer drives. I kinda hope these dates are not, for the band's sake.

Did pressure flips have a resurgence then go out again? I remember when they first appeared ('92-ish?) and people would kill their boards trying to do them. Gumby tail!
I hadn't skated in almost 2 years until this summer. Wanted to at least say I did it on my 40th birthday and I did it! It wasn't pretty, I tried warming up by skating a few days before the big day. I went to my local skate park at like 9am and there were little kids who were better than I ever was in my heyday. This was a weekday too, but it was summer so I guess school was out.

Mine has an autograph too. Always wondered why.
Anyone else who read "Diary..." think that Hudson comes across as dickish? Also, I was hoping he'd spend some time on the Crypt reissues but I think he only mentions them in passing, saying something to the effect of "Some guy wanted to put out this."

The Pagans apparently played their first show on the day I was born (7/7/77). A friend has my copy of Hudson's autobio, about time I get that back and give it another read.

Got mine this week. I really enjoy the record. I will decide which story I believe later. I have to go do the dishes now.

I've been mostly enjoying it so far. Definitely could use some tightening up but I know that how it is is how Lynch wants it.
I don't know if it's just the reviews I read, but people keep calling the Roadhouse the Bang Bang bar. The Bang Bang sign isn't new, it was around in the original series. And the Roadhouse now seems like the jumpin'-est place in town, vs the original series where it was just underage drinking and brooding.

I've done a few solo. I still had a blast but time does pass a bit more slowly. Everyone is really nice so you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone. Nowadays I know some people enough from just going to Gonerfest that if I were to go solo, I'd likely be able to find them or make plans to meet up with them.
