Ink & Dagger "Full Circle" [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
Ink & Dagger "Full Circle" [OFFICIAL VIDEO] YouTube video by Trust Records

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.

I feel like I've been in a bit of a music rut.

What record's really scratching the itch for you lately?

This Is What It Sounds Like When You're Listening To Lindsey Buckingham And Thinking Of Your Friend's Girlfriend At The Same Time, by The Bottle Rockets from the album Bottle Rockets and the Brooklyn Side

"The title of this song is 'What Happens If You're a Songwriter, and You're Listening to Lindsay Buckingham on the Radio While You're Thinking of Your Friend's Girlfriend at the Same Time' and it's again in the key of G. Goes like this..."

Crazy that through all of this no one's mentioned that "AJ" in AJ Brown's name stands for Alshon Jeffery.

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.

Everything I Put My Hand To, by Basic Needs 4 track album

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.

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.
