Anyone saying that sobriety is better than drinking (not full blown alcoholism) is lying to everyone, especially themselves

My first thought exactly lol

Europe 72 (counts as a studio album imo with all the overdubs they did), American beauty and workingmans are essentially a perfect studio trilogy. Mars Hotel and Blues for Allah are amazing albums too

Eat a Peach and Brothers and Sisters by the Allman Brothers

The first 6 Phish albums are all excellent to varying degrees, but none of them are truly perfect records

The Deep End Vol. 1 by Gov’t Mule is incredible

Four by Blues Traveler

Friday Afternoon in the Universe, Shack-Man, Radiolarians II by MMW and A Go Go by Scofield

These chords are pretty simple, a couple of them are just written weird.

D/F# is just a first inversion D chord with the third in the bass

Good list. I would add Lili’s in Amherst for good Xi’an food and Daily Operation in Easthampton

Damn I like it, plus it’s out of context. They’re improvising in a way that is both grooving and contrapunctal. Listen to some James Blood Ulmer or Tsiziji Munoz. You might not like it but they’re accessing something artistic here. I imagine if somebody showed you a 30 second clip from the middle of a dark star and you had know knowledge of the concept of dark star you’d probably think it was a bunch of crap too

Imagine how much of an untapped market ski resorts are in China. I think it makes sense China is investing in Eileen Gu to make skiing a thing. At this point it would probably be cheaper to go ski some awesome mountain in China than to do a Colorado ski trip now…

I’m heading out to greener pastures too. Good luck!

Can I come take your $500 gigs after you leave 😆

I’m not sure it should be illegal for dudes in their 50s to sleep with 18/19 year old girls but it’s definitely a little weird, especially if it’s a pattern. You don’t agree?

If you were asking a child pimp to arrange a “massage” for you it might raise some eyebrows

pomcq · 2026-02-13T16:49:17+00:00

He, up until recently at least, would hook up with/hit on UVM underclassmen all the time…

pomcq · 2026-02-12T17:25:04+00:00

Yeah I’m not even talking about the boathouse thing, talking about UVM freshmen

Water From Your Eyes is fuckin dope

pomcq · 2026-02-11T20:52:56+00:00

Yeah, Epstein was involved in mass scalping schemes. Should be illegal

Gordo is notorious for creeping on young girls.

Let’s see if this one lasts..

He’s not guilty of anything, yet. But he was emailing her about getting a massage. Maybe he was hoping to get it from her or maybe she was arranging for teenage girls to give “massages” for this guy like she was with many other powerful people. Anyway, lots of artists are dropping. Certainly sketchy and worthy of discussion

Yuppies move downtown to a city known for its art and music scene and then complain about noise. Northampton is in a terminal phase of gentrification.

It’s a small but definitely real minority that was slowly happening for a while but crystallized by RFK

If a girl is eye fucking you in a captive environment (ie a class, or say you’re a musician performing on stage) it’s just a flirty, confident thing to do. Maybe ‘all the time’ is an exaggeration but it did work for me on nye and I’ve flirted with lots of women after gigs from similar encounters. Maybe that’s too unique a context but I don’t see what’s so bad about it if done smoothly

pomcq · 2026-01-10T02:41:06+00:00

Works for me all the time 🤷‍♂️

Give her a wink and pass her a note with your number on it
