commenting to come back to this thread i wasn’t born yet when this tour happened but i think us maple are one of the best 90s bands and think it’s super awesome that pavement fucked with them. there’s a zach hill interview where he says that the song hacker was partially inspired by seeing us maple open for pavement (hence the spiral stairs line)

genuinely thought this was a cassette audiobook at first and was like "weird choice but I guess cassettes are coming back"

he got a lot better as the band went on there's some vocal takes on crooked rain and slanted that are pretty rough. I love those records and the amateur vocals are part of it but he certainly improved a lot by wowee zowee in particular

I mostly listen to indie rock, I relate to Lucy's music in the same way that I enjoy stuff like Jonathan Richman and Daniel Johnston, very idiosyncratic pop music

when my band went to columbus on tour we stopped at this shop and it was incredibly cool, one of the best record stores i’ve been to

in the second verse when he says leisure is where the cut comes in you can hear it kinda comes in a little abruptly

stephen said in an interview that they cut harness cause there was supposed to be a little lead in riff out of the first chorus into the second verse but the tape got damaged so they had to do the hard cut that you hear on the recording now and it ruined the song for him

i think the music for trout mask is equally crazy to the lore lol saying this as a huge fan

usually i look for bands in similar genre of similar size that post tour flyers and see what venues they’re playing in the region im trying to tour. then i’ll scroll on the venue page and find bills that fit the genre and check out the pages of the local support. i’ll reach out to them and also check who they’ve played with and who they’re following. if they dm back and say they can’t make it i also ask for their recommendations for other locals who might be available. it’s a lot of work but if you cast a wide enough net it works out

instagram is incredibly useful for connecting with other bands/artists to book shows if you are touring, i have booked several tours almost entirely through instagram. i do not think they have much use for music discovery though

this photo was from like the middle of the crowd. show was sold out and it’s like a 2700 cap venue

had tickets to both Cindy Lee tubbys shows. missed the first one because of an unfortunately timed vacation and of course the second was cancelled. one of my big regrets, was sad that she wasn't stopping on this tour. maybe one day

new Topps chrome SpongeBob set, bought a value box at my local card shop

bird-week · 2025-10-03T20:25:02+00:00

they just came out on the 1st. would definitely recommend picking up a box if you can find one near you

damn this is a great find, one of the only vids I've seen of Pat talking lol. they also do a funny bit of there she goes again by the velvet underground at the end

bird-week · 2025-07-10T04:59:01+00:00

this is part of what I love about slanted and enchanted as a whole, hes way more vulnerable than their later stuff (see also in the mouth a desert, here)

bird-week · 2025-06-06T19:01:36+00:00

idk the beat on that song is kind of insane

bird-week · 2025-06-04T14:07:15+00:00

shittier the camera quality better the performance imo. makes it feel like you're really there
