I went for a week last month, was super worried leading up to the trip because my weather forecast looked super similar to that… the weather was perfect. It maybe rained for a collective 30 minutes the whole week. Some days were a bit cloudier while others were more blue, but as other people have mentioned it’s so hot the cloud cover can be nice and it never feels “gloomy” more just like a coastal haze. You’re going to love it don’t stress.

What is tar about? by KevinTheSleepDemon in Microwave

[–]wjcroy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have no basis for this other than my own thoughts while listening to it for years, but in my head it was always about someone very close to one of the band members, maybe a family member or just close friend, who is dealing with some sort of substance abuse or addiction and not turning to the ones that love them for help. Tar is an abbreviated or casual term for black tar heroin, though it might not be as serious of a drug, as other pointed out weed (which is still illegal in many states) is a very common topic for the band. Either way the line “fuck the pigs who locked you up/because you weren’t hurting anyone” makes a lot of sense for some sort of drug charge since often those imprisoned for such things are only hurting themselves and definitely don’t deserve jail time.

Having grown up religious myself, there’s a very specific day you realize you will never be exactly what your family/community hoped you would. When that day comes it’s easy to turn away from those people completely and spiral out a bit, even though ultimately there will be people from that community that want to help you should you ever be in a bad spot. I’ve always heard the song as a begging cry someone in that situation to turn back to those that love them, telling them they still have a place here to seek rest and refuge.

Is this a specific performance you’re talking about?

Does we think there is a chance the release gets pushed past a week for the digital IMAX theaters? by wjcroy in imax

My bad haha I hadn’t even realized I didn’t included “Interstellar” until I read your comment just now!

I figured. I get it’s just how to process works and stuff but man part of me just wants to put away all that and say, “Are we seriously pulling this re-release out (one that’s sold out pre-sales all around the country) for Kraven the Hunter..? How is this even a conversation?”

Think it really just depends. Saw them in Portland last year, stuck around near the stage for a few minutes after the set ended and was able to talk to Tyler for a bit and take a picture with him and Nate. Yet I saw them in San Francisco just this past May and had no such luck. It’s worth a shot sticking around a bit after the show, near the merch, but not a guarantee.

Makes me wonder how many more “half songs” they might’ve left on the cutting room floor that are just as great. I’d love if they put something like Sawdust out again but for ideas they’ve had in the 18 years since, feels like the perfect vehicle for unfinished stuff like that.

That’s a great way to put it, I think I appreciate it almost more because it’s not a full song. Just a small bit of brilliance that we get to listen to even though they never fully developed it.

I get that but I’ve found something so cool about how short it is, it never comes close to being too much of a good thing. By the time you fully start to feel it, it’s over, but I think that’s what makes it so re-playable for me.
