A case of “how do they pull that off with one guitar live” but also so good I don’t care.

“I Am the Cosmos”. More of a case of Bell being fucked up vs bad recording, but what a mess of a gorgeous song.

So Evers and the establishment went all in last minute on a candidate no one actually liked initially who speaks in word salad platitudes. Sound familiar..

lol the attempted rat fucking just split the centrist vote. Barnes will probably be convinced to drop, and it still won’t be enough. LOL.

Bummer. The first Cheap Trick record rips and they never sounded as inspired in the studio again.

I faintly remember their early songs being kinda hardcore-ish, but they always had the turntable hah.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

I heard some second hand stories from a touring member that it’s a strict and professionally managed operation at this point. Cool.

It’s been a rough couple of months for Nico but she’s being a good sport about these goofy grinch pajamas 😂
