i'm embarrassed by how much i like this



the flute is so insane and silly, but it makes me laugh

Fucking phenomenal song

Never knowingly heard anything Jerry Garcia related before

sometimes Jerry is the best and sometimes he's the worst!

maybe i should punch myself in the head for this comparison, but these "jam band dudes" are kinda like the improv and bands that do tight sets the same every time are standup comedians. sometimes Jerry works, sometimes he doesn't. sometimes you're in the mood, sometimes you're not. sometimes he was so strung out on heroin his jams suck, other times he was just the right amount of strung out and the jams are sublime.

undeniably a lovely guitarist though. my boss made fun of me at a bar the other week because i couldn't identify "Truckin'"

It's true, man. I've had that conversation with Paves regarding both Jerry and Zappa. Several times.

The first thing I heard, today, was some skull-fucking Keiji Haino bullshit.

my dad is a moderate Deadhead and a real Zap-head and i can't fucking stand the dude 80% of the time.

this is my favorite Zappa track:

I'm with Paves on Zappa, all the way down to the exact era (I think) he put it in. Most of what he released from like 1966 to 1972 was fantastic and after that it's all bullshit. I haven't seen Eat the Question but I strongly suspect he comes across as either very articulate and interesting or completely insufferable. Both are strong possibilities, and I feel that they're reflected in different parts of his work.

He comes across as both of those things at the same time, yeah. I'd say that I, too, bitterly--bitterly--hate about 80% of the music that man made. But the other 20% is so perfect that it makes everything okay.

Chrono’s dad sounds exactly like my dad, and I’m down with this discussion for sure. I love pretty much everything on Cruisin with Reuben and the Jets and most of his other stuff in that doo-woppy vein. “Stuff Up the Cracks,” a Paves approved song, my light be my favorite thing.

First song today: Suicide - Ghost Rider

Gary Glitter - Rock and Roll part 2

This song always makes me think of the 90s comedy, The Scout with Albert Brooks and Brenden Fraser.

David Lee Roth - Just a Gigolo / I Ain’t Got Nobody.

Just changed my personal “anthem” on tinder since that is somehow even more indicative of my life than Sunday Morning Coming Down.

I recently watched the video for that song for the first time in like 30 years. It's a doozie!

Songs: Ohia - Farewell Transmission

Built to Spill - Swinging Sores Make Perfect Swords
