Elf on the Self

They are like the nutmeg of drumming technique. The minute you notice them, the drummer’s done too many.

Contemporary drummers: Y’all gotta ease up on the ghost notes.

Steve Hoffamn forum post: "Wasn't there a promo version of Aerosmith - Honkin' On Bobo that was supposedly less compressed?"

This is how every audiophile sounds

Truly the definitive version of “Tommy”!

Can confirm we were done at 9:22.

Made a “meme” for the show tonight. Daddy’s Boy at 9pm, IBW, 6186 N. Northwest Hwy.

Two shows 6 days apart at the same spot what a world.

Daddy’s Boy - 4/3
Blank Banker - 4/9

A screenshot of the telecast of today's Pittsburgh Pirates vs. New York Mets game where the on-screen scoreboard looks like it reads "PONO."

Roses are red,
U2's singer is Bono
This score lasted briefly,

Drums are sounding great!

It’s a big day at the Dischord House!

For YEARS I thought he was saying “HEY DAD”, but he’s saying “Hated”???

Lars barely held his own with Lou Reed!
