Administrations are pitting students and faculty against each other to try and distract everyone from the fact that it is they who suck and are willing to sacrifice us all for their fat bonuses.
RIP Jean-Luc Nancy. A different kind of rockstar (French philosopher) whose brilliance was surpassed by the kindness and respect he showed his students.
Kscope released an album today (digitally only so far) called Trifecta - Fragments, it's made up of three of the touring musicians behind Steven Wilson. The releases says they used to do jazz jam sessions together in warm up which birthed this project. I'm really loving it so far.
First Skynyrd and Kansas canceled, now Alan Parsons. Odds that the Dead will cancel and I'll go three for three? I was originally irritated that King Gizzard wasn't until '22, but they're looking like more than musical geniuses each day.
I went with the $20 tickets for Skynyrd and Kansas cause they were the only ones I hadn't seen yet. My wife wasn't interested in any of them (and doesn't like Wilco or Kings of Leon), but reluctantly said she go with me, lol.
Talking to a friend and we agree there is such a thing as a Steely Dan dad type and a Frank Zappa uncle type. But are there any mom/aunt equivalents you can help us think of?
Watching Santana live at The House of Blues with a beer and a bowl on my couch is better than going out on a Friday night. Some pandemic habits are worth keeping.
Not exclusive to nugs.net, but first time I'm listening to Brandi Carlile Live At Benaroya Hall With The Seattle Symphony. And what I wouldn't give to have seen that show in person. Her pipes are among the greatest. Anyone here have this one on wax?
I forgot to change the speed before playing Rust Bucket and I thought damn this guitar is blistering in the intro, then Neil started to sing like a chipmunk. Guitar intro is still fantastic but sped up just a little bit and it was fire.
