Re: Heathens Homecoming 2024

I think it is mathematically or spatially impossible for us to occupy the exact same ground 72 or 96 hours a year but not meet (I think we did meet briefly years ago when the hangout was at that bar, not cine but I don't recall meeting you since). Maybe next year. Yeah, that is weird lol. There wer...

Re: Heathens Homecoming 2024

I've haven't done one of these in awhile so here it is. This year was our 12th trip to Athens for Heathen's Homecoming and it was one of my favorite years. It's really difficult to rank or compare one year to another, but after HHC2020 I've compared the past few to it. And HHC2024 was at least as go...

Re: HeAthens Homecoming 3/29-4/1 2023

My wife and I attended our 11th Homecoming this year and I've got to say it was one of my favorites that we've ever attended, though every single Homecoming has been its own kind of fun. Friday/Saturday were otherworldly and probably fall somewhere in my top 10 DBT shows we've seen, especially Frida...

PS If your Air BnB decision was price related, have you and others here noticed a big increase in AirBnB prices generally over, say, the past 6 or 8 months? We have. We're back in an AirBnB this year. This is 11 for us and I think we've stayed in an AirBnB 6 of those years. We're staying in Univers...

Re: Homecoming 2020! Feb 13-15

I think it's impressive that DBT regularly play songs from each and every one of their albums. Very few bands manage that. And if you were at Homecoming you got at least 1 song from every album they've released.

Yeah, Cooley played too many repeats (and honestly more than he usually does over a 2-3 night run) but what are you gonna do? I complained a little before Saturday night's show but in the end I had a blast and Cooley is gonna do what Cooley is gonna do.

Is it just me, or are Cooley’s vocals on his two songs kind of muddled? Almost seem clearer in the live recordings I’ve heard of both songs. Love both songs, just interested in why the mixing sounds like it does. Patterson addressed this on the super secret 3DD Facebook group. Short version, Cooley...

I honestly didn't think much of it when I heard it live at the Orange Peel several year ago, and then he stopped playing it. It's the biggest surprise on the album for me, just a killer track.

I saw this premeried at the Orange Peel in 2017. It was dropped from the set shortly after. I'm a little surprised this made the record. I assumed it was one of those songs that wouldn't be recorded or would end up on a solo album.
