A nice recap of last night’s show

Bandcamp Friday! The best day to support independent artists where Bandcamp takes little/no cut and you get some killer jamz! Tucos, JP solo, OffRamps, SlugBug!

Chicago punk forefather Vic Bondi still sees his songs as a form of non-political protest "We didn’t preach from the stage."

Nice piece on Vic Bondi in the Georgia Straight

Thanks @thepunksite.bsky.social !

My buddy sent me this dub version of the debut Black Flag EP and it rules.
Then this morning I heard a reggae version of a Samiam tune.
How cool would it be to hear a dub version of a song you recorded?! 😉

I got art proofs for the new SLIP~ons record yesterday. I had to sleep on it, then made a couple revisions. 😮‍💨

Just watching that made me reamember all my MLB the Show PTSD…

He certainly doesn’t command the same reaction as other closers, when entering a game, imo.

As a Canadian, i apologize for that.

Yoshi must have ice water in his veins.
