Nice turnout this past weekend, nice to have John S back in the fold. Topics of discussion through the night included D&D (yes, that’s right, Dungeons & Dragons, and in fact several other role playing games were discussed too!), blogs, recent shows, and studio recording processes, among other things. Playlist below. The new HurryUp Shotgun is incredible: as Evan put it, “I hope these guys are able to quit their day jobs and just make music, because it sure sounds like that’s what they should be doing.” Really a great, great fucking album. My votes for songs of the night have to include at least one HUS track, “Swim” blew me away. Other highlights of the night for me: the Hellacopters song, totally scorching rock and roll; Evan’s brilliant choice of MBV for the female vocals theme – way to have the balls to play something NOT on Loveless!; and John’s early 70’s jam from Dust was awesome: the smart phone research done on the spot confirmed that one of the members of Dust later joined another band, and took the assumed name of…Marky Ramone!

Evan gets my vote for best song of the night with “Teenage Riot” — Sonic Youth / Daydream Nation
Thanks for the hangtime doods!
Ditto on the props for Teenage Riot – perfect choice for the guitar category.
