Revival Tour is coming up! Last time I saw Ragan he said he was trying to get Neko Case on the tour. Gonna be a good one.

Chuck's solo stuff is great. I'm really stoked on Chris Wollard's new record too. It's really really fucking good. With the exception of A Flight And A Crash, I think I like both of those guys solo stuff better than together on Hot Water Music.

PS - busy weekend and bummed to have missed Lucero last night. I love the Great American Music Hall too.

Dcostello and MsRad, sorry I missed you guys last night. We did bounce out of there pretty quickly, as I had to teach early this morning, and Scott had to finish drawing a backpiece. I have no idea what time he came to bed. Sick show, though, huh? And how about Oliver Peck closing it down? Good times.

Has anyone heard of the Avett Brothers? I saw them at Hardly Strictly and didn't pay much attention to them, but holy crap! They are incredible. Its really refreshing music.

yep! great Americana band.

check out AA Bondy too if you haven't. you might like him. oh and of course, Two Gallants, but you probably have heard about them.

I just want to say that Matt Pike (High On Fire, Sleep, Kalas...) is a really funny, but truly bizarre dude. Saw him at Eli's Mile High Club, and he said something to us in Native American when he was leaving. He said "It doesn't mean goodbye, or hello... its just (Insert insane hand motion here). It was great

Did anyone go see Sleep a few months ago?

AA Bondy is good. Two Gallants rules. Saw them at gilman a while ago... Really good.

was that the Oscar Grant benefit? they played a killer show a few months before at the Fillmore.

seeing AA Bondy live over the summer changed my opinion of him from good to phenomenal. one of the best acts I've seen.

missed Sleep though at FYF. was totally not digging the hipsters or the heat, so i decided to bounce and get some vegan ice cream and hella grub before going to another show my friend's band played. was worth it in my book.

I think it was, cant remember though. I think it was the show Against Me! was supposed to play, but I think either Gilman or AM had second thoughts.

Was that Fuck Yeah Fest? I could not believe Ceremony was on that.

yes it was. i caught part of their set, but i didn't go for them. i wanted to catch 7 seconds again (SO GOOD!) and unbroken (meh). was glad that i saw 7 seconds a second time. hands down the most fun i've had at a show in years.

i've seen black fag before. always a good time!

    • Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror FOR 5 MONTHS with this tattoo. I have other tattoos, this being the 1st big and really visible tattoo. I feel like I have body dysmorphia or some shit. Its so weird. My friend is actually going to my tattoo guy BECAUSE of my tattoo. So, I don't know if anyone else has gone thru this? The tattoo looks weird to me. Not anyone else. I didn't want flowers and leaves because flowers remind me of funeral homes. I'm very yoga, my tattoos are suns, moons, lotuses. Zen shit. But I guess because I said I would never tattoo my upper arm and then tattooed my upper arm, I'm like omg what have I done?! Everyone loves this tattoo. My mother in law says it should be on stained glass and my own mom thinks it's so beautiful. There is not 1 shaky line. Not 1 flaw within this tattoo. He made the sun rays where they wrap around and up my shoulder. And it's just so jarring to me to look at. I don't get it.. or maybe just Cause I'm an idiot. It's not a broken up flow. Guy at the gas station covered in tattoos even loves it. Lol. I can't look at it. It's so weird. Just wondering what the hell is going on?! I've got other tattoos planned out, I love tattoos. I didn't want such a big tattoo and it turned out that way. I will say this, I have multiple sclerosis and went thru a relapse and I'm not sure if it messed with my brain somewhat?!?! Cause I was fine before that. I do have severe anxiety. But it was also winter when I got the tattoo. And now because it's on such display I'm questioning my design and its not at all a sleeve, its actually everyone seriously loves it. Except me. My tattoo guy drew the sun rays on me and i loved it. Then i pivked it apart. The rays r too wide, and too big and this and that. My tattoo guy is phenomenal...busts out the measuring tape and not a crooked line in any of hos work. Its just not ur typical flow of a tattoo. Like flowers and leaves flow. I wanted something different. Something that goes with my style and like i said, flowers like roses and stuff, noone buys me flowers because i hate flowers and im sorry to the flower people. Its just they remind me of funeral homes and all that. This was a custom tattoo by my tattoo artist that knows my style, and not his typical traditional style and he works with me like im a glass doll...lol. he free handed my sun and he is not cheap. And he does phenomenal work. So, i didnt cheap out. So why cant i look at I t? I feel like i ruined my arm i guess and my image. My husband says I upgraded...lol. in fact, he loves me in tattoos and my kids love it. So wtf is wrong with me? Has anyone ever experienced this? Sorry for the long post. It's should be noted, I saod out loud before getting the tattoo...mthos is not a good idea to put this here but I did it anyway. I think I didn't listen to my intuition and because I already know I'm a complete basket case, I should've listened to myself. Removal is not an option, I wint do that....plus, my tattoo guy says his tattoos dont come off...lol.  I got a forearm tattoo a month ago and I'm completely fine with it.  
    • Good luck. Job hunting sucks. I got laid off from a company after 20 years and it took six months to find a job. I was in the dreaded “middle” management role at an IT company. A little over two years later my new company was  bought out and they did a “restructuring” which means the people doing the work get fired so the people sitting on their fat asses get fatter.  I couldn’t find what I really wanted so I just retired. Might be a good time to think about switching fields.
    • The only "amazing" thing I've been doing lately is job hunting. Honestly, it’s stressful. I’m always worried about having enough money for basic expenses and stuff each month. There are lots of jobs on Layboard https://layboard.in/vacancies/jobs-in-uae/jobs-in-dubai/speciality/baker, where I’ve spent most of my time. I sent my CV to several companies and I’ve got decent baking skills, even without formal training. So I hope they'll give me a chance to do a test task or something to show what I can do.
