[endo]

[jiminstitches]

@endo lol I so hope they do Pneuma

[T4920]

@jiminstitches I'm seeing them Birmingham on Thursday, first time! And KGLW the night before, woo!

@prpx Mike Watt is an absolute hero in the punk scene and one of the ones I admire most.

[Matt]

He played bass with The Stooges when I saw them in 07. Amazing show.

[mclaincausey]

@Matt what he and the Minutemen did was enough to establish him as a legend and he’s been nonstop ever since. Just wish Boon hadn’t died so young.

[jiminstitches]

@T4920 ah mate, yeah its my first time too! What a week you'll have! We'll catch up after

[Jett129]

I saw Mike Watt in this version of The Stooges when the Ashton brothers were back in the lineup. This is a great set.

[prpx]

Yeah, also seen Watt with the Secondmen and that gig was one of the best ever. He is doing well, has some temporary issues - walks with a crutch, yet still performs with perfection and preciseness of a true legend. And for sure, ends every gig with a scream “Start your own band!!!!”
Wonderful guy

NOFX on their final tour in Cologne. It sucked badly.

[Dmart]

Just got tickets for Chris Stapleton in London. I can't wait!

[Inorganic]

@tody your last comment gave me a good chuckle and poses a good question - on a band's last tour is it better to suck or to nail it? I can see pros and cons to both arguments.

[mclaincausey]

Was able to catch up with friends I hadn’t seen, in some cases, in decades at Widespread Panic in Memphis. These are friends from high school and college, all sharing a passion for this band and each other. It was so great to finally get my wife and child (at brunch—no way she joined us at the shows ) introduced to these folks, and these folks to each other in a couple of cases where they hadn’t met.

Two spectacular shows and wonderful vibes throughout. Margo Price and Paul Cauthen were great openers and sit-ins.

I’ve seen this band well over 100 times, having rarely missed shows in the mid-south in the late 90s to early 2000s, and they still got it even having lost their lead guitarist and drummer.

Had a blast at Tool at the Birmingham NEC last night. I'm definitely more of a casual fan, but the whole thing blew me away. Such a tight set, Chocolate Chip Trip was a highlight for me!

[mclaincausey]

I love them. Glad you had fun!

[hbg1]

@tody this probably doesn’t bode well for me later this summer. Was it one or two small things that made it bad or everything?

I’m not a fan but a friend is coming to town for the show and I agreed to go. At least I know Sick of it All will be decent as an opener.

[endo]

Got tickets for Amyl and the Sniffers in Hamburgs Große Freiheit 36 in November.

[tody]

@endo Going to see them in Cologne!

[tody]

@Inorganic That's sort of philosophical, isn't it I have seen NOFX so many times, some good, many bad - I kind of knew before what I could expect.
