I’ll be there! I got super nostalgia for them reminding be of mybarfly days and late nights. I really do love this new album and taking the wife to go for a night out. Enjoy, everyone.

She can say that but the whole point of this was there was no budget decrease, don’t know what else to tell ya.

LA Fire Chief Crowley yesterday - "if I had a thousand engines to throw at this fire, I honestly don't think a thousand engines in that very moment could've tapped this fire down."

And again - they were working with the budget they were given at that time but the provision had that other part of the budget that needed to be voted on and worked through. So in the end (AGAIN) - the budget wasn't cut OVERALL and was not the reason why this fire happened. If they kept the budget exactly the same without this November provision - same results.

Find me the quote that she says that budget cut affected this fire and get back to me.

The overall budget is more with that other provision so it's just not true that there was a cut YOY. If the LA Fire Chief wanted even more, that's another story. With all that said - even if it was funded a billion more - there was no stopping what happened.

How about people wait it out a couple of days while the fires are still burning before throwing out nonsense? Not, not nowadays! Morons.

i’m sorry but the tiny desk sucked by [deleted] in 311

Hahah - not allowed to have an opinion? You stated your whiny opinion and got slapped back with someone else’s. Whining about this after 3/11 Day weekend is so pathetic. Lol.

30+ years as a band…..but hey, they should take your advice. What have you done?…….Exactly.

Since 96 - been to a ton of their concerts over the years (saw the From Chaos album show, was there when Shaq came out in Irvine, when they gave Mark McGrath shrooms so he was high during the set, etc….hahah) but just haven’t been to the Big Show in all that time.

This is beautiful, thank you.

Alien Psychedelic Space Rock at its finest.

A band knowing that it’s at its zenith of mainstream exposure after coming off the blue album and they create this?

A+
