There is no greater joy than drinking 3 or 4 margaritas, going shopping with your significant, and standing creepily in a Victoria Secrets whilst being viewed as such by all customers and staff. Also, it will only be a minute or two is never, and I mean never a minute or two.

I highly recommend checking all of these out. There are a few I missed this year that are pretty great…

Worlds collide in the best way. Danny Carey playing King Crimson with BEAT.

@mclaincausey Wow. That must have been pretty special! Their tour keeps missing San Diego, and I really need them to come back here.

@seawolf SD and socal in general seem to get the shaft on hippie music for some reason. We caught an Infamous Stringdusters + Greensky Bluegrass show there last time I was in town at a cool venue that I think is fairly new.
Did you see Gizz out there? Not sure if you’re a fan but I almost came out for that.
I’ll ping you next time I’m out there. I thought you’d relocated to the PNW!

@mclaincausey I saw BS at the SDSU outdoor amphitheater 2 years ago, and he also played the year before, so I'm not sure why he's skipping us this year. Gotta spread the love I guess.
I've never listed to Gizz. Any recommendations where to start? As I understand, they have a deep catalog.
Please do! Still in SD, and I'd love to meet up for a beer or a burger, or both. I know a place

@seawolf
The question of where to start with Gizz is a difficult one because they are so varied and so prolific. It’s such a big problem that there’s a site to help: https://kglw.net/page/gizzverse-guideFor me personally where I would recommend starting might be Omnium just because it cuts a bit more of a cross section of the styles they do than the more themed albums.
Think it, be it.

@mclaincausey Well, that's pretty great. Thank you! I read about them years ago and the idea of themed albums reminded me a lot of Ween. So many different genres and all executed fairly well.
I'm traveling for Christmas, so it'll be good to have some new music to try out.
Back to BS for a minute. I have an earworm right now that I can't shake, and I'm okay with it. "My Alice" is haunting me. I love the 6/8 time signature, the melody, and the clever lyrics. But it's so dark!
-
@mclaincausey I just followed a flowchart-type website to identify a handful of albums to start with. I think I downloaded 6 total. Should be interesting. Thanks!

@seawolf always nice to see somebody new falling down the Gizz rabbit hole.
Who knows, you might even end up in Bulgaria next June for the unofficial Gizz x Iron Heart gathering!
Booked your flights yet @Mizmazzle ?
