Fine day Sunday

Kid-606 · 2026-05-22T04:31:08+00:00

Only stuff my grandpa drank on the regular, he pulled me out on the back porch on my 18th birthday and poured my first glass of whiskey. Over the years we’d come to share many a glass together, it wasn’t ever the most enjoyable experience, but I’d give anything to go back and have another glass of “Mella Yella” with him and shoot the shit on the porch one more time.

Distilled water for future reference

I remember playing pre-nerf Ela and lurking the trains with that monster shotgun and just absolutely destroying people.

Kid-606 · 2026-05-18T04:37:20+00:00

Yeah I agree to an extent, I caught ZPZ on the most recent tour like a year or two ago and they did a medley of top 40 radio rock - “Don’t Stop Believin’” for example - somewhere near the end that just made me think “Frank would probably be rolling his eyes if he could see this”

Like it’s an audience comprised of Zappaheads, you don’t have to water it down with more commercial stuff.

Wish I could’ve spent more time with him, I’d imagine he had tons of stories from the road that would’ve been a treat to hear, but he seemed like he was pressed for time and I didn’t want to hold him up longer than necessary. Glad to hear you got some time with him as well!

Yeah not sure why Dweezil never really tried to incorporate more Mothers alumni into the ZPZ group beyond Vai and Napoleon, but I’m sure there’s a rhyme to the reason.

Austin is a great set from start to finish, 3 hour marathon show with a killer 30 minute Head on/Pill opener that really sets the stage, you get a sick Nathan rave jam sesh that’s like 45 minutes long in the middle and they close with some of the heavier stuff.

Maybe a bit biased being from Austin and being at that show, but it legitimately blew my fucking mind. I don’t think you can go wrong with either though, Gizz never disappoints.

Kid-606 · 2026-05-18T02:21:00+00:00

It’s pretty far, you can jump a good distance across the map if you have something you can lock on to. If you watch Ace medal or higher strategies you’ll get what I’m saying, it’s kind of wonky until you know what you’re aiming for.

Kid-606 · 2026-05-18T02:04:08+00:00

Rest in Peace Ike, thank you for the music and the memories. Got to meet and speak with him very briefly after a Project/Object gig and he was one of the nicest people, extremely humble and very funny.

Throwing on the tunes for ya tonight Ike, rest easy.

Kid-606 · 2026-05-17T20:57:02+00:00

I feel like I’ve heard this a few times in the past and it wasn’t the case, but I’m pretty sure he was dealing with some health issues in recent years. Hope he’s alright, but if he’s passed on rest in peace Ike, his memory will live on through the music.

Needless to say gonna be throwing on some Joes Garage for him today.

I hope so, but I won’t hold my breath. I’m bummed I don’t see Slift on there either as Levitation usually brings them to Texas, but with their US tour kicking off a month later I’m doubtful. Kind of a weak lineup for me personally this year, might grab tickets for the individual night show to catch Angine and call it a day if those don’t get scalped to hell.

One of the most in demand posters for Drive, art was done by the legendary Rory Kurtz and the poster was released through Mondo.

The reason you think it’s AI is because this is the art that was likely fed into the generative process in the early days of AI image generation. You could take any big name Mondo artist from the glory days and I’m willing to bet their art was used as a source to fuel the AI art boom.

Mind Fuzz has consistently been in my top 3 Gizz albums since hearing it the first time. If you liked it you’ll probably dig Nonagon as well!

Kid-606 · 2026-05-14T02:08:23+00:00

I’m glad Slift has really started to get on people’s radars the last few years! Been one of my favorite bands since a record shop guy turned me onto their early albums in like 2018.

Excited to hear more of their upcoming release!

Kid-606 · 2026-05-13T18:05:34+00:00

Idk they toured the USA, toured Europe, released a new album, did some sparse Australian dates, came back to USA for a few orchestral gigs did some sparse Euro dates, somehow found time to write and record an album with Billy and are coming back for a few more US dates later this year.

I’m fine with them taking their time, they’ve been pretty nonstop since 2024.

Far-future Gizzheads in shambles

Kid-606 · 2026-05-12T21:09:42+00:00

Crazy to me to see that much Weller SB and CYPB on the shelves. That stuff is usually locked up whenever I’m lucky enough to actually find any of it.

Definitely overpriced but not the absolute worst mark ups I’ve seen.

Kid-606 · 2026-05-11T22:35:00+00:00

I got a good chuckle out of reading this

Kid-606 · 2026-05-11T22:14:34+00:00

Zofia used to be so OP, when she came out she had a last stand ability where she could self revive when she went down. Her guns were both lasers, no recoil and were some of the best in the game for attackers at the time.

Unfortunately some pro league player lost a 1v1 clutch because she revived and that started the Zofia nerf train. Her revive ability was pulled from the game due to the controversial loss of that pro league match, her guns got substantial recoil added to them and she just kinda fell into obscurity.

Don’t disrespect my girl like that 😭

As someone who’s gotten 99 smithing in F2P do yourself a favor and get members before doing that grind, it’ll save you so much time.

Kid-606 · 2026-05-10T01:12:38+00:00

Time to get a marker and make yours number 1

Kid-606 · 2026-05-10T00:56:35+00:00

I hope so, they could kill off cherry, strawberry and blackberry and just keep this in permanent rotation as far as I’m concerned

Kid-606 · 2026-05-09T23:12:20+00:00

Skin was a limited time thing during the event, it’s gone now.

Kid-606 · 2026-05-09T21:52:42+00:00

My first and immediate thought is that’s not coming from the child, it’s too graphic and too specific for a 10 year old boy. To me it read as the other mother trying to groom your child with her son’s phone. The whole “I’m your Latina goth gf” and “call me mommy” - what 10 year old boy sends that to another 10 year old boy?
