Enjoyer of jam (Phish, Dead, Goose), prog rock (Marillion, Genesis, Coheed, Mars Volta), metal (Opeth, Blood Incantation), horror movies (Terrifier 2, Midsommar), literature (David Foster Wallace, Murakami), sci-fi/fantasy (Gibson, Paolini), oddballs (Aphex Twin, Ryley Walker) and indie rock (Rilo Kiley, Pale Waves)
Today I’m listening to #TheAppleseedCast—The Fleeting Light of Impermanence (2019). Based in solid 90s post-punk w next-level post-rock frosting #TiLT
Today I’m listening to #VelocityGirl—Copacetic (1993). One of the most underrated outfits of the 90s. Nothing but goodness. If you like female-fronted indie rock/pop and you don’t know this band… get on it! #TiLT
Greatest Valentine ever 💖💗💓
Twas 20 years ago today… #Phish had just returned from a two-year hiatus. They played four shows at New Years and played LA the night before this (aka Valentines Day). The energy and excitement was off the chain! Also the venue was very oversold (or packed w people who snuck in) so it just added to the madness. One of the most intense and exciting concert experiences of my life #LasVegas
Today I’m listening to #ShowMetheBody—Trouble The Water (2022). A post-hardcore sound w some agressive noise elements #TiLT
Today I’m listening to #Anthrax—Live: The Island Years (1994). A safe live choice. Run thru of all the (first) Belladonna era classix #TiLT
Today I’m listening to #Anthrax—Dallas Live In The 80s (2022). Stumbled onto this just now. Never heard of this, must’ve been a quiet drop. Great setlist but the cover art is atrocious #TiLT
