Rain on Tin

how the latter would open up even more debates than the 3.0/4.0 thing

It makes way more sense to me to think either in terms of pre- or post-breakup (82 - 04, and 09 - present) or to have a lot more different eras (college town bar band; starting to tour outside New England; moving from clubs to theaters, changes in playing style, approach, etc). Though I do see

Born out of the 3.0/4.0 debate, my hottest (but still likely lukewarm) Phish take is that the point-oh era system is kinda useless

Phish in 97 (1.0) sounds way more like Phish in 03 (2.0) than they do Phish in 93 (1.0), even with the latter pairing being in the same ‘era’ and closer calendar-wise

James Dolan has now banned you from all MSG events and related venues

Feeling myself officially becoming an old man as I’m looking at new garage door openers and mutter to myself “of course there’s a fucking app”

I get that it’s probably pretty nice to be able to open/close from anywhere, esp those I’m already in bed and can’t remember if I shut the garage, but damn

Nearly impossible not smile while listening to/watching this

A shady paved path

A field with some trees starting to change colors

A pond off to the side of the path with some turtles sitting on a partially submerged branch

Zoomed in picture of the turtles

Went for a walk on the Suffield-Granby rails to trails path and saw four little turtles sitting lined up on a log in the water

Does the fact that You Never Give Me Your Money is clearly at least 3 or 4 different songs all crammed together into the same track mean that the Beatles had a prog-rock song?

Excited for NHL regular season to start this week, but feel like I should have paid more attention to the preseason games and savored my chance to watch the Bruins without a million sports betting ads

I kinda want to get one of those tambourines that attaches to your hihat stand and makes stuff sound all jingly-jangly

Inflatable dragon Halloween decoration

Cat on his perch stretching his neck to watch the dragon inflate just outside the window

Serpent Man Demon!

Got our dragon set up, and caught a picture this morning of Samson watching as it inflates

Charli XCX - Crash album cover

Finally getting around to checking out one of her non-brat. albums and can’t help but feel like Charli XCX’s makeup here makes her look a little like Amy Winehouse

Possible, but that’s not one that would be in my head

I think for me it’s a combo of the first few seconds of this and some track off Highway Rider by Brad Mehldau

*never a bad time to call out those lies

Totally agree. This sort of feels like the whole “govt doesn’t work, elect me and I’ll prove it” thing where the chaos that sending troops into any city will create is the justification for sending them, even it’s a crisis that they’re creating themselves. There’s never a bad time to call that lies

Ooooo this is gona bug me. Had an immediate moment of thinking this was going to be some song I can’t remember but is deeply ingrained in my brain after those first few notes

Unfortunately I think the target audience are those who, in a dark twist of irony, would dismiss anyone refuting it as propaganda

Yea, if I’m remembering right he said something around that time about working with Eli from Dopapod too. Would love to see something come from that

That’s kinda what I understood as being the logic for Mike putting a new band together for the JazzFest set he did earlier this year

my wife said the cat was completely freaking out becuz ‘dish’ is one of the words he knows, so he kept thinking it was dinner time when he heard me singing “do you know where your dish is at” over and over. But no worries, he did get some treats

(some ppl don’t what you to know this, but you don’t have to stop at inserting your cat’s name into existing songs, but you can write and record a whole song about them and make a video for it, and no one can stop you)

also, when I finished recording the vocals for the chorus, I came downstairs and

An orange cat hiding in a folded-over tube ready to pounce on some toys being slid across the floor in front of him

In a world where everything feels kinda fucked, it’s amazing how much joy taking a few minutes to play with a cute little kitty can bring

Esp when they’re the type of silly goober who likes to ‘hide’ in a tube and hungry-hungry-hippo at the toys you slide across the floor

happened). When I go back to YT to copy a link for the video, it’s down to 90 views. And now when I checked it’s back at 97

YouTube is weird. Last night I uploaded a video for a song I recorded and this morning I go to take a screen recording to put on my IG story and see that it somehow has 97 views (for context, only one other video I’ve uploaded on the past 7 months has more than 30 views, so no idea how that…

I think one pretty clear indicator of it really being fall is coming downstairs in the morning and needing to put on socks to keep my feet warm

Wrote this one sometime around 2005 - 2010 (I originally typed 15-20yrs ago, but that made me feel way too old) and decided to do a quick recording all done in about 90 minutes; I’d tried recording it a few years ago but just wasn’t happy with how it turned out. It felt kind

keyboards, etc and see what kind of different direction I can take it in

of funny recording this becuz as I was doing so I ending changing the order of all the lines in the first verse, so that’s the first time I’m ever singing them in that order after singing them differently for at least 15 or so years

I may try and do a recording with electric guitar, drum machine,
