Saddest Desperation Cocktails, Ranked In my adult life (because my friend had no mixers), I've "enjoyed" bourbon and Tang, and bourbon with store-bought pre-bottled tea with an artificial sweetener. I'd recommend Tang if those are your choices. Backpacking, my drink of choice is either Wild Turkey ...

This thread is a hoot.

I feel like Shakespeare has filled the void left by LJ in the "post nothing but obscure albums" role. Hey, hold on there fella. Shakes has surely surpassed me in shear volume. But I'm pretty sure that I've been the reigning champ of the post records nobody around here gives a shit about niche. NP: ...

Sip of Sunshine now being brewed out of Two Roads here in Connecticut. It used to be super rare, but is now just somewhat rare. I like it, but this it is a bit overrated/overhyped. A number of people say it's comparable to Heady Topper, but I couldn't disagree more. Agree with your disagree. It's g...

I don't know what Cortez's situation is like but that stuff is damned hard to get a hold of around here. Cheers.

Yes! My mom is gonna be stoked!

That was kinda heavy. Please accept this sweet video as an apology for my sleep deprived grumpiness.

Not you LJ, still fuck You

I use Facebook but have avoided twitter like the plague Interestingly, I'm on Twitter a ton more than FB, but only to read the goings on of folks I follow. I've never "tweeted" and have no intention to. But I love following a few dozen journalists, artists, activists, writers, politicians, and OhNo...

Can't speak for Clams but I'm not talking about any DBT specific FB group. Just folks from here who are now general "friends" on FB. For the record, I find FB pretty useful and don't feel victimized by it at all. Socially, it keeps me in touch with folks who'd probably otherwise slip away. But I use...

I am a prog metal nerd and I don't care who knows it. I fucking love this record.

95% of the DBT and other music talk and nonsense that used to take place here on 3dd now takes place on FB. There are definitely some positives and negatives to this shift but I do miss the older more active version of 3dd. Just the other day I was kinda lamenting what a vibrant place this used to ...

Wednesday - Calexico Steven Wilson - tonight This show was OK, the band are all great musicians but the guy's stage persona just isn't that likeable. That's too bad. I've seen Porcupine Tree a handful of times and do remember him being a little preoccupied a prescriptive with whether the crowd was ...

Me too. A friend caught one of the few shows and said they were savage live.

Shame it seems it was just a one off project. Still hoping they'll get together again at some point.

Well there ya have it.

Any fears I had are hereby eased.

Slowly making my way through the first season. In general I enjoy it but I'm not sure that all the story lines will be worth their effort in the end.

It ain't no Wire. But I'll see where it goes.

I usually pride myself on being one of those Northeasterners who thinks you should pack up your bitching about the weather and move to Florida.


But for shit's sake. April 8th and its 33F and snowing. Doesn't look like we'll break 40 all week.


Will to go on...fading...

Every since Mrs S got snake bit she's been obsessed with keeping the yard blown off, not all of it, just an acre and a quarter of it. During the winter our yard looks more like a rolling beach as there is no grass which is alright with me, and obviously the wildlife like it too. Maybe not all the w...

If these were written by someone NOT in a band I really like, I'd be even less impressed. I'm not saying they were awful books, just pr...
