I've never been so dissatisfied with a customer service experience that I trivialized chronic ritualized sexual assault, but there's a first time for everything.

If you need an excuse to pull the trigger, impending taxes on Chinese-made gear is as good as any. I'm not playing out in the immediate future, so I'm sitting tight.

My favorite song, It's Raining Men, is a great workout song.

One of my favorite podcasters says that any New Yorker cartoon holds up with the caption, "Have our sex games become too elaborate?". I think it holds up.

I'm not sure--i remember playing with them as a kid, but I didn't notice when they disappear.

You've mentioned Doug in another of your patented smurfco posts. We're concerned that we've hit the bottom of the well. Soon it'll be "Dad's in the, uh, frozen yogurt..."

I love the something/nothing play in the first verse. I'd tread carefully with the nights/nice rhyme--it's very clever on paper, but lives or dies in the pronunciation in the performance.

Took my grandma to her favorite restaurant in anticipation of her upcoming 102nd birthday. Got the chicken taco salad, which was fine. Gma was amused by the deep fried serving bowl, which she had never seen before.

There's a bunch I'd like to try just to duck around with (Jerry, Steve Drozd's guitar rig, some of the Wilco guys), and some that I'd actually want to make a sound suiting my personal style (Buddy Miller, Neil Young).

Considering they misspelled their sources' name, I'm skeptical.

If it simplifies what the post above says, each chord is made with the notes available in the key in question. So in C major, the notes in the scale for a D, E, or A triad would include a minor 3rd, and for a C, F, or G, the third in each chord would be a major 3rd. Diminished chord follows...

What a great set! Wide range of songs but still a consistent vibe. Audience seemed decent enough for a songwriter night. If you're going to do one cover, might as well be a pitch-corrected Lovely Day, tho. Show em what you're made of.

Sounds like Brian Jonestown Massacre to me, but I have a limited vocabulary for this genre. I usually look forward to your tracks because of your synth textures, but I don't miss them here in a guitar-dominated setting. It's way too long for me, but that's just my taste.
