Building Steam with a Grain of Salt - DJ Shadow (First, not necessarily best, thought)

Cold enough (47) in Miami for the iguanas to fall from trees.

My girls were all fired up to see Penn & Teller tonight and, frankly, so was I. The show just got last-minute “Curveballed” and there is devastation in the Rosey household.

If Trey traded 2 tickets and a bottle of Tylenol to some streetside Mexican chrochet baseball-sleeve artisan, then there is a 5 percent chance that our guy made a defendable sartorial choice this evening.

I have consumed the magic bits and I am waiting for the bright lights and loud noises. #two5

I managed to forget how much aspiration dabs cause. #huck

Let’s call a spade, a spade. First set was hot garbage. Maybe a “C” and all Phish gets a passing grade. It got a little better in the last 10 minutes but there’s lots of room for growth in the second frame and I’m here to see it.

T-shirt Trey. This is a GOOD sign, youngins’.

Sunday morning mood youtu.be/6IJCFc_qkHw

Iggy here is about 4 feet long and has been hanging out in a tree in my backyard for a few weeks. Colorful guy. #MIA

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s Kill Tony, Austin bro comedy sucks, blah, blah. Put that aside. This is the best standup set I’ve seen in a long time and the kid has 9 months of experience. youtube.com/watch?v=a5jL...

Sometimes I don’t give enough attention to the straight fact that the Beastie Boys crush. And that’s a damn shame. If MCA hadn’t died, I can’t imagine them ever not being relevant. Rap is a young man’s sport, but I think they’d have stayed in the game.

I am taking the deposition of a 92 year-old billionaire tyrant today and sometimes the job is fun.

Guilty feet ain’t got no rhythm.

If you don’t have any real skin in the games, the football this week (excepting Indiana v Oregon) has been fantastic.

Keith Richards really may outlive us all…

What do we think was in Fish’s right hand here?

I wish I was seeing live music tonight, and that urge comes from the open, loving, weird, accepting, and FUN community that he helped create before I was even born.

I’m sure the VT boys are preparing their statement.

@drewphish.bsky.social Second night of Medeski from Tyler (Mr. Completely). Not sure if this has been posted publicly yet. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Today I learned that Tupac and Dre each recieved 0% publishing rights for California Love, which might be Pac’s greatest song (and the only one jammed out by Phish). As if they wrote nothing. Joe Cocker and his piano player got 20% EACH for the four note, looped piano riff youtu.be/J7_bMdYfSws

I just won a fair bit of $ betting on Miami. Team has swagger and I liked the odds.

Tweezer Waves Gumbo Undermind Drowned (please) #phish #pick5

It is Sunday, after all #slave

While I have split divisions on my favorite guitar based on attendance bias vs what I’m hearing now, I fucking love the Ocedoc tone.

Steve Martin knows what’s up

If you absolutely DESPISE live, orchestral, porno-funk that would be the backing track to a 70s cop movie chase scene, skip this link. If you’re into that sort of shit, though, give this a whirl. youtu.be/tylsnI9Ab5c

I fucking crushed a Beef Wellington prep this year. First time, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Went over super, even with the kiddos. (America’s Test Kitchen showed the way.)

Peace on earth… or just a little more of it.

Rick Steves is a fucking badass. (Gift Link) wapo.st/4sdQcUu

The Pointer Sisters were exceptional. Full stop. Jumped on wiki after I put Steppin’ on the turntable. Paul Silas is their cousin. 3 NBA Championships. Their brother played in the MLB then spent 17 years as an NFL ref. What a family.

@brokensymmetry.art I don’t really like the art, honestly, but modern contemporary isn’t my bag. It is very Maimi though.

@cannondawg704.bsky.social is that you, Chip?

Miami is a wierd place storytime. On Friday, I was smoking a joint on the street on the street downtown. An eccentric looking black dude in his mid-30s with expensive, strange clothes walks up and says, “That’s a fine indica, let me see if I can place the strain by your exhale.” What? 1/

Betting heavy that Jake Paul gets his ass kissed but carries a heavy chin and makes it last 3+ rounds. #sweetscience #withnonboxers

I am here for the Timothy Chalamet bars. I actually laughed at the “billions” line. Whole story with EsDeeKid is funny from a marketing perspective.

TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

moved by how much passion is in this performance and how fucking good this sounds on a shitty little recorder

Sugar Mountain on repeat in my head.

The number of Miami 10’s walking around (all genders) triples during Art Basel. Not for that reason, but if I was ultra rich and had to do super-rich-guy shit with other rich people, I’d definitely be into the Art Basel scene. Some of these folks really lean into the wierd.

I just saw a guy in a leather biker cut riding a stand-on scooter and, friends, it took every ounce of my restraint not to make fun of him. Even knowing he’d kick my ass.

The dichotomy of Trey in two songs.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

I want a Phish tour with Rescue Squad Strings sit-ins like Giant Country Horns in ‘94.

When I was a teenager I knew someone who was in an all fat Fugazi cover band called Fatguyzi

My brother’s baby. 1921 Martin.

Absolutely remarkable in every sense of the word.
