Wow this is fantastic @Matt very eclectic record so far. Got some At the Drive-In vibes on the first cut and a little Ian Mackaye on some of the vocals.
-
@Matt they're a cool band, been digging that album!
Props to Baltimore too, love that town — I went to MICA for my first two years of college, eons ago.
-
Lots of cool spots in that part of town @popvulture
Brewer’s Art
Club Charles
Mt Vernon Tavern
Midtown Yacht Club (RIP)I’ve seen some cool shows at the Metro Gallery on Charles St.

Ah yeah many a drunken night at the Tavern (buncha pros in there :D), also went to Brewer's Art a few times when I'd go back and visit my friends who stayed at MICA.
I was there from like 98 to 2000, so it was really quite a long time ago. Used to go see shows at the old Ottobar when it was a tiny place downtown, later became the Talking Head but not sure if that space is still even anything. Some of the coolest stuff was shows at the Copycat warehouse — saw Shellac and Blonde Redhead when I was like 19 and had no idea about any of that shit. Good times!

I love this song but I think it is because the chorus sounds like he is saying: "pooping my pants" over and over
-
now I'm gonna have trouble not hearing it that way…
That is a fucking great album, by the way.

@dinobarnesberlin @Filthy both great albums. I’m hopefully going to see DJR in Feb if it isn’t cancelled.
I have a friend who went to an Evan Dando show in Baltimore recently. ED was fuuucked up. Like rolling around on the stage in his pajamas fucked up. My friends buddy got to talking to him and ED ended up back at his place to crash. The texts and accompanying photos are hilarious. Long story short, he wouldn’t leave. He just got high and hung around dude’s house for like 3 days until finally his girl came and got him. Rock & Roll.
-
Hmm that's pretty cool. I would just let him stay at my house as long as he wanted. Maybe see if I could get him some help.
-
Yeah he's had some long running substance stuff — I read an article not too long ago in the NYT I believe, basically saying that he's just kinda committed to it. Hey, "My Drug Buddy" is goddamn fantastic, and I guess based in truth
EDIT as a sober guy myself, not sure I should joke about that, but for some reason Dando always just seemed like the guy who picked that life and seemed content with it. Could be projecting, who knows.
-
He’s made it this far why not see where it goes.
Haha yes, that's pretty much how I feel about it

It’s been a good year for new releases of string band music and bluegrass, if you’re into that sorta thing.
Nathan Bowles & Bill McKay| Keys. Black Twig Pickers| Friends Peace. Pelt is a releasing a live show that was recorded in 2017 later this year on 3Lobed| Reticence/Resistance.
Most recently I became hip to ‘Cosmic Appalachian’ string band Eight Point Star. Mike Gangloff plays fiddle (Black Twig Pickers and Pelt) and Matt Peyton fingerpicked guitar. I thought the song ‘brand new shirt’ was most appropriate to post. Enjoy.
-
Loving this band at the moment and looks like a bit Wabash on Josh- one of the lead singers.

@SKT:
I played “Car, Button, Cloth” a lot back in the day. Dando does seem like a guy that can roll with that lifestyle. But then a guy like Justin Townes Earle just can’t handle that road and it’s tragic. It’s a fine line I guess.
Dando doesn’t have kids. I could do all the drugs on the table, no sweat, but my kids make me want to jump off a bridge.
