What an amazing weekend. We drug three new folks to HC, one who had not seen a Rock Show previously, a few who had only seen one other show. Converts all. Just one of my favorite weekends of the entire year. Great community, great band, great people. That's what matters.

I'm no Cortez, but I did my best to make an Athens music playlist for the drive. Enjoy.

You can't fish without bait, and we are without Clams this year.

I have not seen a schedule of events, so here is what I came up with. WHERE: Max Canada, 243 W. Washington St, just down the street from the 40 Watt WHEN: 1-4 pm, Friday Feb. 16 WHA?!: The Hangout!

2 episodes in. This podcast is awesome. Thanks for the recommendation, Smitty!

Okay, Homecoming is close, so let's get serious now. Two Patterson and Two Cooley songs you want to hear that have a reasonable chance of being played (ie no Daddy's Cup, Buford, etc) Carl Perkins Hearing Jimmy Loud Steve McQueen Pauline Hawkins Wow. That was harder than I though it would be. :o

Damn. Yet another killer setlist. Looks like a rocker.

This should make 'People Who Died' something really special at Homecoming:



Trump to nominate Jim Carroll for 'drug czar'

Wow. Killer set. Still no Zip. I’m not complaining, just interesting.

Animation of planned launch:




Actual launch:

If you have not seen the video of the Falcon launch, drop everything and watch it now. One of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Aside from the incredible science behind the launch, it is just so badass to see a Red Convertible blasting David Bowie launched to Mars. Because: science! Also becau...

Add Homecoming in between, and that will do.

Still not too late...

The trailer looked terrifying. I immediately thought, "I don't need more terrifying in my life". Hard pass.

“Trump’s eager publication of the memo was expected. Yet his action crossed a line: from criticism of the FBI to executive action designed to undermine an ongoing investigation. Trump seems to be testing the waters for direct action against the FBI by testing the limits of what his Republican follow...

Cheesesteaks strike again!

I read the memo. Snore. A LOT of stuff is conveniently left out. This will do nothing but feed the trolls and tin-foil hat set. What a shame. It will also be interesting to see Trump answer (or not) the question, "So...hang on...you appointed a dude as your Foreign Policy Advisor who had been under ...

I can't get over the contrast between the Isbell show I last saw maybe 3 years ago and what I saw the other night. Holy Moley, that young feller has done well for himself. Like I've said before, not really my thing anymore, but a good show and I couldn't be happier for them. My only regret of the n...

Careful...that beer can beat the shit out you.

Short version: My first Homecoming was last year, and I met a large number of truly fine human beings. Not just in the 40 Watt, but in and around Athens as well. I like to view the standard DBT fan crowd as a very narrow Venn Diagram generally combining "Educated Liberals + Have an active Hunting/F...

BYE FELICIA!

First HC for me. What are the demographics like for attendees? Is there such thing as "typical"? Age, gender, geographic location, etc. And is it safe to assume that most in attendance will know every song performed? Will there be any obnoxious drunk quasi or even pseudo fans screaming for them to ...

Just getting over a case of the Athens Crud so my immune system should still be on high alert and ready to rock in two weeks. Thinking the same thing about the "airplanes are worse than kindergarten" cold I'm now dealing with. My entire family is sick. But, I think I'm on the verge on inventing a E...

Great performances.

I'm still partial to Sturgill's solo performance of 'Call to Arms' on SNL. I made my 5 and 7 year old watch it and said, "Kids, listen. Look at that! THAT is Rock 'n Roll."
