man i wish they had stuff like that in Thai town!
there was/is a Thai band called Loso (low society) that i could enjoy but in Hollywood it was Elvis or bust
i'm sure ive told that Elvis story more than once here lol
lot more bad karaoke swilling beer wondering if the chick i was sitting with was worth another millisecond of enduring it

 

Empire of the sun was epic!
wasn't sure what to expect but it was so much fun and a lady who was my mom's doppelganger was bopping to the music off to my right
kids and oldies alike and everyone smiling and partying
only thing political he said was there was some major distortion in the universe we all need to work through
openly spoke about God and the forces of decency overcoming it all in the end
very much recommend seeing them live cause its visually excellent and impossible to walk away in a bad mood

 

so Mac is a complete loon that also happens to make a huge amount of cool little ditties
after singing this song tonight someone in crowd screamed "take off your pants" and his response was "how about the epidermis from my arm"
then you can all play in the sinewy muscle and maybe taste it and rip arm off and get your fingers and hand into my chest cavity and open up my stomach so you can smell it
grab one of my turds and use it for lipstick and start kissing each other...
totally random madness that i guess was amplified times a million when he drank and chain smoked viceroys on stage
then his father died and he gave up his vices while forging a mostly instrumental path for himself
it was still hysterical as he talked about being old and why his bassist was a freak etc.
lot of dedicated fans for sure and an entertaining night
guitarist that he kept calling his banjo player was hitting Glen Campbell notes and i kept getting lost in it
interesting artist and you'd be seriously underestimating him if you labeled him a clown
lot more going on there.

 

Tame Impala trending on X ...

not enjoying the first stuff i'm hearing so i took a step back and will check it out in a minute
any thoughts?

 

yeah thanks for posting this i had heard they did tiny desk
cool not to have synths and hear them playing instruments
even though Parker is Tame it looks like he's kept his band fairly intact
he started as very guitar based trippy stoner music and the last album was almost disco
evolving is normal and interesting but so far just haven't heard anything new that grabbed me
maybe just needs to grow on me
loser acoustic has a flamenco quality which i absolutely love

 

i'll pump it on my next drive of consequence
sure it has to have a good groove unless his kid castrated him

 

the last album was so good and sort of a culmination of all he was trying to become and then the covid lie came upon us all
but it broke like nothing he'd ever done to that point and suddenly everyone wanted to jump their train
always hard to follow up something like that and so when i heard some of the lyrics to one of the songs released first i thought it would be lacking
remember when the Eagles followed Hotel California w the Long run and how i just wouldn't listen to it after hearing the title song
then started hearing hearthache tonight and was like fuck the Eagles i hate this band
then a buddy played Those shoes and Disco Strangler which led to listen to the album and In the City, I can't tell you why
so i'm just going to kind of ignore it and assume there's something worthwhile as he makes this transition in his life
pretty sure he's got the staying power of an Alex Turner type individual of which there are fewer an fewer
