I've been thinking a lot about Ink & Dagger (as you do). I think Don's guitar is so memorable here because it sounds kinda sloppy? Like, it sounds like he hasn't finished the last thought before rushing into the next one, and it adds to this weird frenetic energy to an already chaotic song.
Realized I was going to a pretty weird length to prove someone wrong on the internet, so I stood up, got a cup of coffee, and took my dog for a walk instead.
10/10 highly rec.
hell yeah, thanks man
I feel like I've been in a bit of a music rut.
What record's really scratching the itch for you lately?

Crazy that through all of this no one's mentioned that "AJ" in AJ Brown's name stands for Alshon Jeffery.
Funny, THUG did that to me with Alkaline Trio's Armageddon.
This was on the soundtrack to MVP Baseball 2005 and thus it's burned into my brain forever. Same with Hot Hot Heat's Owe Me an IOU.
A while back I asked around for some bands that sound like Skinhead. Best answer was Basic Needs which sounds like Skinhead meets Shai Hulud, which is extremely my shit.
Too many bands think their LP bands when they're actually 7" bands.
*arsenal ruins my mood*
IT'S TIME FOR SIXERS BASKETBALL
sad cannon noises/happy cannon noises.
its a special kind of hell for a big city paper to write about where you grew up and get a bunch of stuff wrong.
occasionally i'll feel bad that my reaction to people signing there is "welp, good for them but i guess i'm not watching them for a good long while."
and then i'll pop-in randomly and the product is offensive to all my senses including a few i forgot about.
Thought I'd find it funnier that Wrestlemania was shit.
Mania/Rumble used to be similar to the SB with my friends. No matter how little we cared about the wider context, the big dumb spectacle of the thing made it fun to drink beer & hangout. Now it feels like they wrung the fun out of that even.
Spending Sunday with my two idiot sons: Arsenal and the Sixers.
Well the O's reached very deeply into their ass for that one.
Hannibal Burress with the text: get yourself together man. move to philly. buy a loft. start a noise band. get six or seven room mates... eat hummus with them. book some gigs. burn down an applebee's. listen to animal collective. start some kinda salsa company.
Too many people are ignoring the core tenets of life.
25 albums. Highlights include Skinhead, Blood for Blood, Frank Ocean, and Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers.
An objectively hilarious week of listening.

You couldn’t get me to listen to this even if the date and circumstances of my death are revealed halfway through
