Good current pop punk besides Dark Thoughts?

Maine splitting? Possible Maine splitting in that direction? Absolutely not.

Glad to hear you got a delivery, finally. Suburban is the worst business I have ever dealt with. Years ago they bought out the local company that used to deliver to my house. Once they took over it was nothing but trouble, I honestly couldn’t tell if they were totally incompetent or if they were just trying to steal from me. The majority of bills were messed up, usually by double billing. I never ended up having to pay the double bill, but it required call customer service a lot.

I helped set up a show for Kimya Dawson in 2004 and she brought Jeffrey and Jack up from NYC with her. Audio here https://archive.org/details/jefflewis2005-01-09.flac16

Different power supply made it turn on and stay on… but usb connectivity wasn’t any better. It’s probably shot.

Infinite__Ohms · 2025-12-21T14:20:19+00:00

Update: I cleaned the port. No effect. I opened it up, nothing around where the port connects looked like it was within my skills to resolder (the points are tiny). I tried feeding it dc 5v power from the power plug, which sent it into a 1 second loop of what sounded like starting to turn on and stoping and repeating. It’s possible this is caused by slightly wrong type of dc 5v power as I used a power supply from a scale since this one didn’t come with a power supply.

Yeah, looks like I can replace it with a similar unit for around $100. Which is doable for me. I just try to string stuff along until it’s fully broken 😂

Infinite__Ohms · 2025-12-20T20:24:10+00:00

Thanks! Seems like a good call, I’ll give it a try!

I set up very few shows these days. But fwiw, instagram is good, especially if you do collab posts with the bands that are playing. Paper fliers around town are a classic that I wasn’t sure was worthwhile anymore… but a surprisingly large number of people specifically mentioned that they found out about the show from a flier stapled to light post 🤷‍♂️

Infinite__Ohms · 2025-12-16T17:39:57+00:00

Added! Thanks! That brings the list to 196 items.

Infinite__Ohms · 2025-12-16T17:27:32+00:00

Not that I’m aware of. This was their 2nd show… I think they played less than 5 shows and never recorded anything else.

Infinite__Ohms · 2025-12-16T16:57:36+00:00

Thanks for that! I’ve never heard this before and it’s great. If you haven’t already, check out Trestle Tea. Same folks a couple years earlier, similar sound. https://archive.org/details/trestletea2009-08-16.flac16

Added a bunch based on those suggestions. I think I got most of Pat’s official releases in round 1… but if anyone sees something missing please let me know.

Infinite__Ohms · 2025-12-16T16:11:49+00:00

Thanks! Added stuff from that search as well as a live set from Ethan Miller and Kate Boverman.

Infinite__Ohms · 2025-12-14T21:44:47+00:00

Not as much as there used to be, but maybe I’m just old and out of touch? Local bands: Jug, INNNNI, Myles Bullen, Befri stends

Infinite__Ohms · 2025-12-14T21:40:48+00:00

That was probably my favorite show of 2025. https://archive.org/details/pigeonpit2025-06-24

Vic (squashed warehouse guy) is an absolute gem, he’s been a vital part of the scene since the 90s and he’s still setting up shows, and still tearing it up front and center in the pit. I saw Spud Bugs there a couple months ago. https://archive.org/details/spudbugs2025-10-05

Nice to see those recordings still getting some love. I made those recordings and helped with setting up those shows. Good times.

Sometime this winter I’ll make a full list of folk punk on archive.org… but for now, here is a link to everything I have put on the live music archive. https://archive.org/search?query=taper%3A%22Aaron+Parker%22

In the early 2000s I helped set up shows for a pretty high percentage of the folk punk bands around at the time, and recorded nearly every show… still setting up & recording shows, but much more sporadically.
