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: 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.
