ah youth club soccer. The opposing coach yesterday yelled “protect the kids” at the ref when he felt his kid got fouled, but meanwhile his kids were hitting our boys with flying elbows the whole game

all the insane online mega-maga-trolls furious at the Lord of the Rings show would have kicked JRR Tolkien to the curb if they’d ever come upon him daydreaming or sketching weird trees in the path they were stomping down

Let’s talk about people who block long merge lanes during traffic. Like ride halfway between the normal lane and the merge lane well before it ends to block people from “getting ahead” . Like, “yeah they designed the highway to allow for more traffic here but it’s not happening on my watch”

been posting this on my various social media accounts so why not here too! It’s got my top pajamas in it and the jam is pretty solid too . Plus that opening crouch , you can’t go wrong with a solid opening front lean

Republican’s new mantra “let Iran bomb a major American city” . MAGA more like MABU. huh! huh! huh! No beardos no weirdos ! Make American Blown Up!! Lock ‘em up

when I was a kid there was an old woman who would linger at her doorstep croaking “I see ya!” as we hid in her bushes. Of course we called her the I-See-Ya-Lady. Much older now, I want to croak “i see ya!” from afar at children hiding in our yard. The I-See-Ya-Man. The cycle continues

I like shopping at Dave’s market because it’s full of super old people and you can steal a carrot out of their hand and by the time they turn around bright spring has turned to winter and the light has gone dim; their wrinkle lined face becomes your own as your eyes meet two lives gone by

I get the feeling the big ol SUV who I just faced off with at a 4 way stop was communicating about who should turn first via hand signals and mouth shapes, but I’ll never know because their windows were super tinted.

in the early 2000s I’d be constantly duct taping drum sticks together because I couldn’t afford new ones. Things have changed, but not enough . I still suck at money , and money sucks at me, like leaches

I was just thinking I needed to get a resupply of the trippy, loud, bright shirts I used to wear almost exclusively, since my wardrobe is mostly black band shirts (today it's High Command, Worcester thrash), and lo & behold @chirpendale.bsky.social has an etsy shop with everything I could ever need

it’s going to take some A.I.s accidentally slaughtering some vast population of people while trying a shortcut to help someone perfect a cookie recipe for these companies to take “moral guidance” or something like Asimov’s laws of robotics seriously

As a drummer, going on tour is like using ritual and training to evolve into a higher physical and mental form. While playing a one off show is like waking up to a huge shadowy home intruder standing over your bed and you’ve thrown the covers off in the night and your toes are completely exposed

Talarico is the “love your neighbor” kind of Christian while Paxton is of the “my neighbor is going to hell unless they believe exactly what I believe” variety. Seems an easy choice. Religion aside, I’ll take the love guy over the hell guy any day of the week

Black Pus: Line 6 DL4 captures a live loop from oscillator on kick. This jam is pretty simple: vocals, a high twirling oscillator sound that can be turned off or be pitched super low with a whammy. at the end i kick in the loop, which doesn’t really add that much . Mainly its the whammy dive bombs

Lightning Bolt has often utilized the “line up a dive bomb bass note with the kick & a screeching high note with the snare” and that’s all I got really, using a bass drum triggered oscillator. The Earthquaker Arpanoid (arpeggios) pedal on the oscillator adds to the flavor

you have a transcendent jam, drums vocals oscillators all singing in ethereal unison. you wrap it up, check your email and the all that’s changed in your world is a couple monthly payments were deducted from your bank account. Fuck it, tomorrow the interdimensional portals will open. Tomorrow
