@cyanidetooth the Coheed to army pipeline was very real. Recruiters could tell your dad was an alky no problem. I got like 3 free dinners the year I took the ASVAB (because you got leave early that day if you did)
@johnvvariety I asked because I suspected, and just confirmed w him, that's the dog Marty Mcsorely on the pads. Forgot he was in Zs for like a year lol. Apparently the vid is from KXLU
@cyanidetooth other notes to be made here about the generation who were like 10 when Kurt died, was very influential I think, exhibit A I'm calling him "Kurt" etc. We knew we missed out
@cyanidetooth filesharing fucked the timing up, teenagers in 2005 didn't listen to any non-rap contemporary music. The cool stoner girls at my high school jammed Blind Melon constantly
The hipster music discussion has devolved into 35 year olds trying to out-cool each other with what they listened to and frankly that’s the hipster spirit, right there
Doug Shaw was always front row at my gig. would rip it apart then say it was sick then rip it apart again. envied his playing greatly. Very funny. very smart. For 10 yrs we exclusively spoke in a scotch accent I don’t really remember why. Huge bummer. Lots of people loved him.
I wrote this about my dear friend Doug Shaw last year. He died this week, which doesn’t seem possible. In case you want to know more about him—
