That was a brutal game by the Eagles, who gave up 475 total yards, threw 2 INT (in fairness to Sanchez, both after the game was out of hand) one of which was returned for a TD, one punt return TD, one fumble return for a TD, and another fumble that led to a TD. The still managed 429 yards and 2 mean...

Heading to the show in February at the Keswick, and wondering if Jason is touring solo or with the full band.

And a special note to Guinness: I did not (knowingly) eat your fuckin cheeseburger! Phungi and I arrived just before showtime and ordered up some burgers at the bar and five minutes later the bartender puts two burgers in front of us and says Here you go. We say Awseome, are you sure they're ours? ...

Can't argue about what has been said, it was a very cool venue, and the sound was excellent... The first thing Patterson said when walking on stage, looking at the purple monolithic steel plant illuminated in the giant window behind the stage was "this is pretty cool" The photo doesn't do ...

we aren't rolling into town until 6:30ish, so likely heading straight to venue...

I am also hoping/planning on heading down for my first homecoming this year...

I think a proper initiation would be forming a rookie choir for "Hell No I Ain't Happy"

Heading up with Clams, so "In"

The closest spot is the Steel Pub, about a block away, and they have a very nice beer and bar menu.

There may be a better thread for this, but it certainly fits in "all things political" and "DBT-related: Bill Baxby, Alabama Attorney General's 1976 letter to white supremacist Edward R. Fields , the founder of the "National States' Rights Party" http://farm9.staticflickr.co...

There are many ways people deal with the universal experience of death, and yet, for musicians and artists, this is often a process that plays out through/to the public. In this context, I can't think of a more humbling and well-grounded tribute than these 6 lines: I’m never one to wonder about the ...

as a relative DBT noobie, this might have been "the song" that hooked me... clams had pushed a lot of music my way, and I recall trying to decipher SRO during several long car rides... for some reason, it never worked, but when I heard about their new album EO, and heard this song, everyth...

In terms of pre-gaming, the best nearby venue is McFaddens, 4 blocks down on 3rd street.

The Flyers brass did try out the "ice boys" replacement squad for a pre-season game, which was met with (IMHO, appropriate) jeers:

Thought I had a ticket connection, but it fell through... was able to get a pair about 20th row, so there must be a lot of seats left.

Regardless whether this song is describing power struggles in fast food or construction, the second verse appears (to me) as a statement on the owners while the first verse presents the plight of the working man... the fourth verse explains how quickly the bottom can fall out when the powerless work...
