Not that anyone cares but I forgot about this Sunday update for ya’ll.
I woke up face down on the couch at 5 AM to a bowl of soggy Honey Nut Cheerios sitting there sadly uneaten. My “wife” woke up and found me ITK draining the milk from the bowl and asked me what the hell I was doing. She got a small laugh out of that before going back upstairs to bed.
Initially read that post as you woke up face down in a bowl of cereal and I’m so happy you didn’t drown
Would be impressive. I’d either have a tiny face or a giant bowl. And I definitely don’t have a tiny face.
as somebody who uses mixing bowls as cereal bowls, it’s on my radar.
Would make for a hilarious headline though
“Man with tiny face drowns in average sized bowl of cereal.”
I almost choked on my lunch. “Man dies choking on lunch while reading really stupid post on stupid DBMB about a band they don’t even like”
I hate admitting it but this Pig doesn’t suck.
woof. that would need to be real fine print in the paper’s obituary section. don’t want that one getting out.
Thanks! That’s it. Certainly sounds intentional.
Digging 2x2. Draconian was good too, but this is a cooler jam IMO
The solo at the end of this Wide Open is amazing. They completely crushed this version. More please. The Blue Echo jam into it is also short but really really fierce and good. Not sure I would have wanted it to be much longer, even, unless they changed to a second theme.
The encore 3x in this show is notable because Bayliss does something I’m not sure I’ve heard him do before - he essentially reprises the “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”-ish theme from the Little Gift improv earlier in the show. It’s a really cool effect in the middle of an otherwise throwaway jam. They were feeling artsy this show. Speaking of Little Gift, it, 2x2, and Draconian all have interesting themes to offer, and even Plunger and Pig are great shorter, more predictable fare.
I’m glad the band fed off the rowdy First Avenue crowd energy and were able to deliver a show like this rather than pandering like they sometimes like to with covers, Gulf Stream, Den, etc. I somehow bet the energy didn’t drop in the room too much either during some of the more challenging moments in the second set. I hope they remember that. Very good show.
Is this Plunger the first Jake drop tune jam of the year?
