Baseball or comping vocals?

I am putting it out there as a pro musician of several decades: accepting a gig at any Trump property makes any band or musician a piece of shit. Fuck off, you know what you’re doing.

I’m pretty psyched about this new partscaster I put together with my buddy Stan Day. Body from Japan, neck from a Fender Baja and Lollar pickups (firebird in the neck) w/ a 4 way switch. This one is for gigs in posh venues. Tuxedo gigs.

I think that’s all they are trying to be, so no harm.

It’s a bit of a shame when the 21st night of September falls on a weekday. That’s the date when wedding musicians get a 4th asparagus stalk along with their unseasoned chicken breast and 3 russet potatoes. It’s a waste of special vendor meal privileges if it’s on a Monday.

Songwriting tip; if you’re procrastinating on finishing a tune that you know is solid, accept an offer to record it to 2” tape in front of a recording class in 72 hours. I sat down and finished it in 2 hours today. Now I have two days to edit, refine and learn how to sing it. To tape, for real.

I saw #CheapTrick on the tour after Budokan blew up, so was about 10 years old. It was absolutely awesome and I have seen them many times since. I am seeing them tonight in New Hampshire and expect to feel 10 years old again.

Katie Phang on a Russian oligarch bankrolling Don Jr.’s wedding: “They’re so dumb, we see it happening in real time. But because there’s no consequence or accountability, they just do it in the wide open.”

The part where I pretended I wasn’t going to pay that kind of money to see Rush tonight was good, but I folded. Wife asked me how much I paid for my really good seat and I replied with how reasonable Cheap Trick tickets were for Wednesday. It didn’t distract or confuse her, of course.

I really loved the Oasis doc at the IMAX tonight. It’s worth seeing for the raging Hiwatts alone. It was moving to see the power those songs to people around the world.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

I just saw my pal Aaron Tap play with Colin Blunstone of the Zombies and there is absolutely no logical explanation for how wonderful Colin’s voice sound at 81 years old. He didn’t play “Caroline Goodbye”, which is one of the best records ever, but it was a great set.

I’m enjoying the Fender Telecaster 75th Anniversary video on YouTube. Many great bits, but I note that Vince Gill rips like a beast and J. Mascis gets an absolutely unreal lead tone.

I can’t use #waze anymore with their support of Trumps idiocy. I used to really like when Cookie Monster was the voice, but Trump has blocked Federal funding for PBS (very far down on the list of grievances, granted, but…) #mapquest then?

I agree. I know it’s a controversial stance, and there are pros and cons to both sides of the argument, but I still say shooting each other is bad. I know, typical knee jerk liberal viewpoint, but I stand by that.

August 12, 1970 – Janis Joplin performs what will be her final concert at Harvard University, ending with a version of Gershwin’s “Summertime.” Joplin dies on October 4 and her final album, Pearl, is released posthumously in January 1971.

Do you all often have that thing where it’s like “broheem, I am trying to take you seriously, but throw me a bone here”? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for having family members who are still Trump supporters.

Excellent book reading and short acoustic set with @robynhitchcock.bsky.social tonight in Boston. I was chuffed to share a hard drive with new album while recording at Alex the Great in Nashville last year and, at that point, I had no clue how great it was. Robyn is the best.

Yesterday at the dog park, a woman told me, apropos of nothing, that her dog was on painkillers. I replied that I was as well, but only recreationally. An awkward silence followed. Nice doggy, though.

I mean, it’s not like anyone has asked me. If someone were to ask me “In all of YouTube, Corin, what clip would you recommend to someone looking for something fabulous to reenforce their faith in humanity?” I would feel conflicted by options, but probably say “Curb, Best of Leon”. 100% killer.

Upon further and continued viewing, I deem David Bowie’s Glastonbury appearance from the early 2000’s to be quite compelling. Some of the tempos detract from the musicality, but the overall performance is excellent and his voice is 100% fab. Also, the hair is magnificent.

Before we went on (the bartender was outside at this point), one of the guys said “Never forget: every night is Budokan”. We had one of the best sets we ever played and I have never forgotten those wise words. I try to live up to that ideal.

One time, my band The Pills did a show with Shake Appeal at Brownies and we had the misfortune of the Beastie Boys hitting the stage nearby at an outdoor festival around the time of our sets. They did the whole enchilada for us and one bartender- threw picks out and jumped around.
