Mental note....LOVE Culvers. Ice Cream is awesome, we might stop by for a break!!!

Custard !!!!! 

 

[zamboni]

Damn.  A few songs into the Albert King and this might be one of those perma-stinkface albums.  

He can’t hold a candle to brother Bernard.

 

[Buffaloes]

Walked away for a few minutes. Come back 18 replies. Must be thursday

 

[Buffaloes]

Dr. Dog
 

I've got heart it races on my work PC and threw it on yesterday. Another one I've been meaning to dive further into. What album were you going to draft?

 

[Binky The Doormat]

LOL.   I could post a pic of our craphole house if it will make you feel better. 

just messing bud ...but yeah post the pic!

I wish I brought some Manchester Orchestra to my island. I couldn't choose between Mean Everything to Nothing, Simple Math or A Black Mile to the Surface and I ended up not taking any. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

Tempted, but too embarrassed to post the pic of the destruction I am currently looking at.   We have a new dog (a mutt blend), and I have never come across a more destructive dog.  Has 2 corners of our walls chewed up, carpet ripped up, a shredded dog toy on the floor, and out in back yard there is a random storm gutter that she pulled off the house.  #### me.

Fate. It's really the only one I got into. I saw them a couple times on that tour too. Was pretty into them for a bit, not sure what happened.

[KarmaPolice]

Oh yeah @Buffaloes - the box on that IPA is white - the cans are yellow, so I am not 100% sure we are talking about the same thing.  

 

[Bonzai]

Archers of Loaf?  I think I saw them at a Lallapolooza, but have 0 recollection of what their sound was.  

Rough and tumble 90s indie rock.

I have no idea what that phrase means except that it doesn't sound good.

 

[Buffaloes]

I think we are. Unless New Belgium makes another mango ipa with a skeleton on it. I can't tell light greenish blue apart from teal and I can't tell Pink apart from light red according to fam so good chance I messed up the box color

 

[Bonzai]

Thanks, I will try to remember to give it a spin. Maybe even tonight.

The lead singer of Dr dog looks like he could be a recurring Fred Armisan character in portlandia. Wouldn't have to change the band name in that scenario either

The bass player sings a few tunes on Fate and they're my favorite. He's got a Rick Danko thing going on.

 

[KarmaPolice]

@krista4 - it's a reference to my Lost in Vegas channel on YouTube obsession, and it's a good thing.

Fair.  They make a lot of these Voodoo Ranger series.  This one is 80s style with a Cobra jacket on.  

 

[KarmaPolice]

@Raging weasel - I see you down below.  Have you ever listened to Mastodon or Gojira? 

 

[Northern Voice]

FWIW< I've moved on to like the 8th variation of "All Together" IPA. This one is okay.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Why is it I can have 4-5 gins and in the morning be fine, but I have 2 IPAs and feel like dog ####?

 

[Northern Voice]

I am the opposite, so

 

[simey]

A lot of craft beers gives me bad headaches. With the New Belgium beers which are brewed in Asheville, I can drink the Fat Tire beer (which is basically an amber), but I stay away from IPAs.  I don't drink gin. It taste like Christmas trees.

@Raging weasel - I see you down below.  Have you ever listened to Mastodon or Gojira? 

Mastadon yes, Gojira no. Kinda yes as I've only seen Mastadon live(2x) but didn't like them enough to listen to an album

 

[KarmaPolice]

Hmm.  I feel like we are on the same page a bit metal wise, and those are my next two after Opeth from the last decade +.  

 

[Northern Voice]

I wanted to draft some Foals too. Probably Antidotes when they were more dance/punk but I really love their heavier rocking What Went Down too.

 

[KarmaPolice]

 

@krista4 - fast forward to the 10min mark and dude on the right is what I am talking about.  

 

[simey]

I really like how all the chefs on Top Chef support each other.

Spanish Sahara is a sweet tune. Haven't thought of them in forever.

 

[Buffaloes]

They have a few good ones here and there but I haven't found a full foals album that I'm excited about. 

Kind of an interesting rock band in that they've had a few songs that have translated into really solid electronic dance remixes. Spanish Sahara and Late night off the top of my head. Late Night Sasha remix and Solomun remixes are choons. I think I might be mostly talking to myself in here when it comes to electronic dance or whatever it's called though 

Maybe not didn't someone take daft punk?

 

[krista4]

Back to pizzachat: this is the Detroit-style I got last night.

And this was the Sicilian.

The Detroit was completely gone by today's lunch (ex-Mr krista also had some last night).  Look at all that carmelization!  Incredible.

 

[krista4]

@krista4 - fast forward to the 10min mark and dude on the right is what I am talking about.  

  That's fantastic!

 

[Eephus]

I had three albums where I deleted partial writeups and drafted something else

V.U. - The Velvet Underground's album of unreleased tracks from 1985.  It fits right in with their other studio albums

Kiko by Los Lobos

Black Uhuru's Red - I never draft enough Reggae

 

[Eephus]

Shhhh

I think Daft Punk and Justice were both drafted. 

 

[Buffaloes]

I think Daft Punk and Justice were both drafted. 

And unkle too. So nevermind there was some taken

 

[Northern Voice]

And Antidotes is the best Foals album but their best songs are on other albums, which is probably why I never ended up drafting them.

 

[krista4]

I think Daft Punk and Justice were both drafted. 

Daft Punk was - they were part of my visit to Tasker's island.

I still have two I'm going to listen to from the island.  It's been a nice visit.

Ever had Buffalo style pizza?

Dr. Dog

I vehemently hated Dr. Dog at some point and I have no idea why. It was a long time ago. I got into it with @piratemike

White Light/White Heat went undrafted as well.

dogs are awesome ...except when they aren't

love your patience ...it could end up a family favorite

I made the mistake of letting my pug puppy sleep with me when I was single

he would pee on the pillow when I had "guests" in order to assert his place  

 

[Eephus]

Thanks to Simey and whoever else mentioned the TV documentary Laurel Canyon.  It took us four nights to get through it but it was excellent.  The still photo and home movie material was wonderful. It was much better than Echo in the Canyon which had too much Jakob Dylan.

I was so inspired I listened to the Eagles on my noontime walk.  There's some stuff there to like musically but I can't get over my irrational hatred for them.  The side one closing pairing of Tequila Sunrise and Desperado is undeniably strong.

 

[krista4]

Ever had Buffalo style pizza?  

I don't think so.  What is it?  I welcome all pizza styles.

 

[Buffaloes]

Lol I'm going to give undrafted free agent Dr dog a spin probably tonight. It's getting a surprising amount of run in here 

 

[Northern Voice]

This is a direct quote - Kinda doughy, slightly undercooked crust....little bit sweeter on the sauce, "cup-char" pepperoni.   ...I'm not sure if that description was supposed to sell me on it, but I have to admit, it was pretty great.
