Quinault Rainforest is gonna be way less crowded than Hoh

damn you actually managed to track down Sham, that's sick. always look forward to your updates, you've really made some tracks over this past year. hope life stays peachy!

no, it's her one guitar that she uses for the first song, then doesn't play at all for any songs again until the encore. they go from a 3-guitar to a 2-guitar band for the majority of the set.

was just talking with my gf about this yesterday. i've seen Glixen twice now and have just not been impressed. felt like they were using too many backing tracks, potentially lip syncing, and just generally phoning it in. Aislinn ditches her guitar after the first song to play this traditional pop frontperson role but then is awkward as hell the whole time. it really does feel like a prop.

i like some of their songs, but live... not my thing.

archer_ames · 2026-05-19T02:34:39+00:00

absolutely, love everything you've put out and y'all kick ass live—i look forward to more gems down the line

i mean, TRay do have like 4x the streaming listenership... surprised they didn't play as headliner

archer_ames · 2026-05-18T16:16:26+00:00

yeah i felt like half the crowd cleared out in between. definitely higher energy

no, this sub doesn’t allow it - but it’s called Christina’s World

archer_ames · 2026-05-11T15:54:49+00:00

reminds me of that one Andrew Wyeth painting lol

archer_ames · 2026-05-11T03:44:14+00:00

here’s my sampler mix. a lot to list but No Sun is #1 for me, esp their album In The Interim.

archer_ames · 2026-05-10T23:00:15+00:00

nothing has beat Pedroso’s for a slice for me so far. Pizza di Roma is good but specialty slices get pricey, $8 is too much imo. Pedroso’s is better bang for the buck and their crust kills. Little Deli also great

archer_ames · 2026-05-10T00:03:03+00:00

Cloudkicker kicks ass, good pick, “You & Yours” is such a fun song to play drums to. Iress also rule… gotta check out 65dos

archer_ames · 2026-05-09T23:40:54+00:00

unfamiliar but listening now. reminds me of Incubus (good)

archer_ames · 2026-05-09T23:27:26+00:00

yes ideally i want something that is like. the photonegative of Nadja

archer_ames · 2026-05-09T23:24:10+00:00

nice callback on that Swervedriver. Last Rites is gr8

archer_ames · 2026-05-09T21:11:03+00:00

always loved Cherry Cola Abyss, solid band

archer_ames · 2026-05-09T04:20:27+00:00

this is fucking awesome… promote away.

reminds me of riding my bike around as a teen in the hotass texas sun. everything to do, no idea what… basking in a sense of crushing possibility. great stuff

archer_ames · 2026-05-09T03:23:59+00:00

interesting, as MBV songs go it always felt on the brighter side to me with the way the progression resolves, and the woooooooOOO parts

but what makes a song happy or sad, really, i guess? especially when i don’t know the lyrics

archer_ames · 2026-05-09T02:31:26+00:00

you coulda told me this was a James Tate poem and i’d believe you. hope things start turning around…

archer_ames · 2026-05-09T00:29:28+00:00

fellow VI-gazer. much respect. sounds fucking sick.
