Re: Welcome to Club XIII
Haven't really been following DBT lately. I've moved onto different music, interests, people, but I did see them when they came through Toronto recently. I was buying tix for Amyl and the Sniffers who played at the same venue a few weeks later and when I saw that DBT were coming I thought that they ...

Re: The TV thread
Except for what I assume is some more skin and some people of color scattered throughout, are either of these shows much different from Dallas? I haven't watched any of the 3 shows but they all have the same magnetic repellent factor for me. And the days of politicians who spoke in big words in pri...

Re: DBT Quarantine Livestreams
Jay's show was basically punk rock meets yacht rock meets jazz and latin standards meets experimental art. What's not to love? I've seen Cooley's two and this one and all three were different and wonderful in their own, individual ways. I would be happy to tune into many more from these two. Jay pla...

Shrill
I haven't really been here since summer, but I'm watching this show, Shrill, which resonates with me a fair amount as I know a lot of hipster journalists. And there's a party scene in which an intro to a song starts and I'm like, "I love this song. What is it? That guitar sounds fantastic!" (I woul...

Re: North of the Border
So just to be clear, because I'm a bit slow catching up to cultural currents: If I say "I sure would like to nail some sweet pussy", it could translate to "I wish to have a cool experience"? Fuck me! Bring on the pussy! It could mean that, but I'm pretty confused by this word substitution game, so ...

I don't see any Letterkenny in here. Give your collective balls a tug, ya titfuckers. Been a big fan of that show for years.

Coincidentally, while listening to the radio on the seemingly endless drive back to Toronto from the ancestral home land, I heard Aint Talkin 'Bout Love on the radio and thought to myself that DBTs version is so much better than the original.

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
Jason Isbell once said that, to him, the friction between southerners and northerners seems more rooted in issues between country people and city people. I agree with him on this. I once was involved in a very general chat about DBT and Mike Cooley’s lyrics came up. We all know and agree that he’s a...

Re: Van Morrison Is More Than ‘Astral Weeks’....
It's very uncharacteristic of me to feel this way about a rock record in which flute figures so prominently, but I have all the time in the world for Astral Weeks. All the time in the world. To me, it's just one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful records of all time.

I've never been out of the United States, Then you should go get a passport and come to Toronto for these shows. Toronto feels like an American city.
