Re: Heathens Homecoming 2018

Can we get some sort of petition or movement going to request (ask politely?) Cooley start relearning Daddy's Cup for the 40 Watt? When's the last time someone heard "Carl Perkins' Cadillac" with the full band (excluding TDU)? I'd sign that petition, too. I heard it at the show in Montclair, I beli...

Re: Does this look familiar?

I saw an SUV today with an R&D truck sales in Meridianville AL sticker on it. Probably not the same R&D but I never expected to see that on RT 28 in Middlesex NJ.

Re: DBT Track # 79 & 131 - The Thanksgiving Filter

It's this time of year that I love my job just a bit more than I usually do. Since nobody stops using the sink/shower/toilet my place runs 24/7 which means unless the holiday falls on your days off you're working. I haven't had to go to any family holiday meals for the past 15 years. Xmas is especia...

Re: Tribute albums that you like more than originals

For myself I think I just find myself liking covers because it's (sometimes) a new take on something I already loved. Maybe saying Better Than was a poor choice of words.

Re: college football 2014/2015/2016/2017

It seems my completely arbitrary decision to root for UGA simply because I love going to Athens is working out this year. Living in NJ, college football is a complete non-entity and I never had a desire to be a fan of any particular school.

Maybe I'll cross the river for the first time since I last did it to see DBT at the Bowery. Seems early enough to not have to miss the end of the show to make my train home.

Tribute albums that you like more than originals

I've been listening to Say Yes! The Elliott Smith tribute album and I have to say I'm really liking the versions on the album more than the originals. It got me thinking of tribute albums I enjoy more than the original artists versions. I'm not saying the covers are better but for whatever reason I ...

Sandwiches for the Road tab?

Been looking around the Google and haven't found one. I'm trying for what seems like the millionth time to learn the guitar and this time will be the time. I have found drinking beers cuts down on the frustration with failure desires to turn the instrument into firewood. Thanks in advance

Who am I kidding, booked at HoJo. Not my first or even fifth choice but I've stayed at sketchier places. Tried the Airbnb route but, apparently my metro pcs phone number isn't quite up to their lofty standards. I really was surprised when their own Help board told me that.

I stayed at HoJo last year and it was just ok, not terrible but I saw they had rooms still available and I won't be making a return to it. I may just have to pass this year, having to use a Lyft every time I want to get downtown got real old real fast last year. Have fun folks, drink too much for me.
