Tired, still a stiff/sore neck/back and not much time before the Meta premiere. Spent it burning TF and Vortex dvd teaser. Then the premiere which was totally awesome. More on that later.
Still got mad back/neck pain. Suck.
An all new acoustic album! From Pitchfork:Every so often, Dinosaur Jr. frontman/legendary indie guitar shredder J Mascis plays a solo acoustic show. These shows aren’t much like the classic Dinosaur sludge-fest: Mascis sits down in the middle of the stage, picking at an acoustic guitar and only rarely mashing down on an effects pedal to blast off into one of his inimitable solos. On March 15, he’ll release Several Shades of Why, an acoustic album on Sub Pop. The album will feature no drums. Tracklist below:Several Shades of Why:01 Listen to Me02 Several Shades of Why03 Not Enough04 Very Nervous and Love05 Is It Done06 Make It Right07 Where Are You08 Too Deep09 Can I10 What HappenedSeriously seriously hyped!
This is Amazing!!!
So bad it’s awesome? Thanks PJ.
This one is embarrasing. I hurt my back/neck lifting weights at the gym. I used the time to attempt to finish the null teaser and watch the Nuggets lose. It really hurts. Might be a few days before I can skate. Ugh.
Fuzz put Carleigh on the Crisis team. So stoked on this. Congrats Carleigh! Now that your famous I hope you’ll still skate with me sometimes.
A tired Sunday for some reason. Maybe it was playing Rock Band til late, maybe it was the cold weather skating on Saturday. But for whatever reason I was beat. Matt, Ian, Bernie and Carleigh met up for some skating. Bernie was first and we played a couple bad games of SKATE before heading to campus for some shredding/filming.
First was an uphill ledge. I was still skating bad and did some runs with various 180s/manuals up/off the red curb. I managed one 50 50 where I didn’t grind and another one where I almost rolled my ankle. Matt did front 5-0 up, crooks down. Bernie did crooks up. Carleigh snapped photos. Ian almost got front tail.Next we went to this weird drop with some ledges in front of it. I was happy to ollie the further ledge then survive the drop. Matt and Bernie played with a few tricks. Ian tried to kickflip off it and ended up rolling his ankle super bad. The kind that leaves you shaking in pain.
Ian was a good sport about it. He layed in the concrete with his foot up, hoodies piled on him while Matt tried a nosebonk. It was so funny when people would come by and ask if he was ok and we would say the worst stuff like we didn’t know who he was and he was lieing there when we got there. Get better soon Ian. The dudes in the background of this photo thought Matt was Lizard King. So funny.
In the end Matt got his trick and we then we picked up Ian.
Saturday night was a full on Rock Band party. Brian trying to drum and sing ‘Give It Away’ at the same time was the highlight.
Crazy manny combos.
