Anyone who went to Gonzo last year: Tell me why I shouldn’t skip it this year.

Patti Smith is a fucking treasure. And despite all the tumult we live in today, podcasts are a rare opportunity to be a fly on the wall and listen in on beautiful conversations with geniuses like this

Love how Peter starts Sinnerman a little too soon, and Rick’s like, “Whoa, hold up man. Let me metal shred for the next 3-4 minutes.

Thank God White Claw was a phase.

“Phish Fans Who Love White Claw”, a FB group, posts lyrics from the band — altered, of course, with references to their favorite drink. They mark one another’s birthdays by posting videos of themselves shotguning Claws.”

It’s almost unimaginable, but AXS makes Ticketmaster look good.

What is the first song you heard Goose (and/or Phish) play live? I just realized that mine both start with the letter “H”. Haley’s Comet (4/29/94) and Hungersite (6/15/22).

At the same time 42 million Americans are denied food, America’s first Trillionaire is born. If we can’t admit the system’s rigged now, we never will.

I rarely listen to first sets in their entirety. This is an exception and one that I’ve listened to several times.

And they say we can’t raise taxes on the wealthy. These people have so much money they’re inventing new shit to spend it on. Millions of people are starving, and these assholes are spending thousands on inedible gourds that after a month will go into a landfill.

If you like King Gizzard, but don’t know the Osees (aka Thee Oh Sees), then you’re missing one of KG’s biggest influences. This band will blow your fucking mind on any stage, but this Caverns show will be next level.

I generally agree with @hosewood.bsky.social that most Big Moderns don’t go to interesting places. But I just went back to this one and it’s an exception to the rule.
