Earl Greyhound Tonight

I'm unreasonably excited about this Radio Radio show, but only because what I saw hinted at their greatness. At the Monolith festival last year, I basically planned the acts I saw around how many times I wanted to climb the freakin' Red Rocks stairs. There were a lot of them, it was high altitude, and I didn't want to mess with it. Nevertheless, somebody needed food or beverage at some point, and so the climb to the top was made.

What I was hearing made me wish I could have stayed in line a bit longer. Raw, powerful, soulful. And so this time I get to hear them locally.

Without stairs.

And with reasonably priced Sprecher's Root Beer and plenty of oxygen.

Home Improvement

We finally did our bit for neighborhood improvement and got the house re-painted, just in time for it to get battered about by the weather last week. We made it through OK, and we're hoping to (finally) have folks over to enjoy the porch.

Damaged Stingray This just breaks my heart, though - my bandmates from the Playboy Psychonauts are the rhythm section for Red Light Driver, and their rehearsal space flooded out. Amongst the casualties was a damn fine sounding Stingray bass that now has corroded electronics and some swelling and warping. Luckily, it's going to see some attention from The Bass Kahuna, so hopefully it will come out okay. It does make me thankful I went with the 2nd floor office and didn't think to go to the basement.

Finished!

Victor/Victoria? Done.

The laptop book? Done (although I might still have to add a couple of pages of material and go through author review as well, the main part has been written and submitted ahead of today's deadline).

House stuff? Never done, but the exterior is finally painted (by somebody else) and we added some more paint and art to the walls.

This week promises that all of the extra free time will be taken up by some IMN stuff and a decent show on Wednesday from Earl Greyhouse at Radio Radio, but it's still nice to have the other stuff behind me.

Also, haven't seen the new Metalocalypse yet. Don't tell me about it.

In the past few months, the #lnjf show had Bootsy Collins, Meshell Ndegeocello & Victor Wooten sit in w/the Roots. I'm happy. Just sayin'. 8 hours ago

I own amps I love to use, but I also love not moving them & using a perfectly good rig elsewhere. Glad I know folks who make it happen. :) 2 days ago
