Why does it feel like everyday I have to dig deep , again?

You know what happens when you keep digging deep. You end up in a big fucking hole.

Goose New Album 1st Listen

- definitely a summer time album
- maybe their best sounding, best produced record
- Madalena makes me think the boys have been listening to Tumbleweed Connection which is a good thing (my favorite Elton)
- Royal is an ear worm and a half - has been on repeat all week

On second listen, my favorite part of the jam is still the same as my first “listen” on the couch last night. This Fishman lead part of the jam is so primordial and cool. My suspicion is that we are getting big jams because Trey’s voice is kakked. I’ll take it.

Not gonna lie. It’s hard to be excited for 🐠 summer tour knowing I won’t be going, not because I don’t want to, but because they are only playing in a country where I run the risk of being rejected at the border or worse for not expressing support for their authoritarian fuck stick of a president 😔

I asked the universe for a sign that the kids are alright yesterday. Today kid shows up wearing this (and yes, I do teach in music shirts 75% of the time) There IS hope!

Not that it applies to most of you, but fellow 🇨🇦Canucks, polls are open until 9:30pm. Let’s keep democracy alive up here.

Out for a solo woods walk sans the fam, Weather Report Suite in my ears and herbal communion on this fine 420 Easter Sunday. All family commitments in the books already, the sun is shining and the Leafs start the playoffs tonight. Thought I’d share this contentment.

I couldn’t put my finger on why I was feeling like something was missing tonight. Who knew having an appointment TV show was bringing me such purpose? It’s like some has been…..severed.

Eggy Toronto Purim post show thoughts:

1) slow start - pretty mellow from the band, crowd was typical Toronto bystander vibes
2) things rarely overheard a jamband show “things really picked up with the Sheryl Crow cover” true though
3) the sound (esp for Jake and Dani) was muddy and low

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

Very weird not to be racing to grab tickets today. But such is life. My favourite band is playing in a country that is threatening to destabilize the western world, is a Russian pawn, and wants to annex my country. Kinda hard to justify a trip across the border if I have indeed become the enemy. 🇨🇦

@aatgoosepod.bsky.social Hear me out. Goose cuts their “A Live One” from the winter run. Some pretty definitive versions of most staples.

Or would that be too much minus Jeb.🤷🏻‍♂️

I can’t begin to tell you as a history teacher, a news consumer, and a father how much of my day is consumed by concern for the future. This is not hyperbolic, it’s hypernormalization. It’s turning into the kind of anger that only comes from helplessness. But I can’t just turn it off. It’s awful.

The FOMO of only seeing the second night of a two night run is as real as it gets. Honk. But honk better tomorrow….

Just learning of the death of one of my all time authors, Tom Robbins. He took the path that Vonnegut showed me and poured a pot of mushroom tea over it. He came along in my life where my minds eye was most open and filled it with absurbirty, philosophy, colour and humour. Never be another like him.

That second set last night is not to be slept on! MFMF batted 1000% in 2024 and it just kept going from there.

Snow day on my birthday! Thank you Mama Nature!

Dec/2/99 was a show that was the opening day of a three day birthday heater for me. Great crew, weird vibes with the person that fell night, met a future good friend for the first time, and a crazy night all around. Trey’s tone is so fuckin grimey in the dying days of the millennium. This Gin soars.
