Cool Sunday morning means slub debut. Then I’ll have to shed when it warms up.

Howdy!

I’m over the moon to have found a wabby chore coat after Wabbidashery tour induced FOMO. I was concerned the Large of the sample wouldn’t fit like the XL of the Wabbidashery but it’s perfect. Thank you Iron Heart and Outlet. And the chocolate and card are also much appreciated.

Big week for Hattie. First cinema experience (Moana 2) and first ballet (The Nutcracker). Wore my IH cords, A&A sweater, RMC USN 1913 peacoat. She made it through but it couldn’t have been a minute longer. Should get easier each year!

Hey bros!

Beautiful day for 18oz vintage denim and jailhouse work shirts

And family.

A summer of sandals and shorts started showing signs of subsiding.

In past summers I powered through in somewhat heavy garments, so it feels good to finally have some jeans on again.

Dune not try that again

My UnTucked lined with my IH indigo dipped hoodie has become a favorite. Today over an IH 9oz indigo flannel and IH 7.5oz LS tee with IHxViberg smokejumpers in copper task.

Lovely day’

I love hickory stripes and duck together.

How about some Warren (and yes some Jeff Porcaro)?

Yeah they’ve moved from absurdist lyrics into love and light crap. I’ll take the absurdism over that.

And Robert Hunter or JP Barlow over that.

@seawolf yeah that’s me too. I will say though that Phish is still a blast live. I don’t dig the cheesy dad rock as much as the absurd older stuff but the performances and lights are still amazing.

@seawolf also fuck whoever made fun of that.

I have seen dumbass tribalism from adherents of Phish about Panic and vice versa, and in the early days there was some of that between Dead and Phish fans.

What

Ever

@chrisjohnnick making fun of Sublime? Fuck you, Nashville!

I guess in a similar vein 311 was big in college and I feel like maybe I’ve heard people kind of rip on them.

Idunno, is there a region where Nickelback are taken seriously?

That must be interesting to read. To probe the conditions that produced such a masterpiece that was so anomalous for its time but so appropriate for what came after.

@Tago-Mago yeah that definitely makes sense. Both of these are very quintessentially American bands, drawing on very little outside of American modes of music and ideas, though Aja pulls in some Asian themes (though “Chinese music “ in the lyrics could be a reference to a derisive term Louis Armstrong attached to bebop) and you’ll hear them use sitar on “Do It Again,” or write a song called Bodhisattva, thought that is more about western faux eastern mysticism, and the Dead had some eastern things going on from time to time, especially in a song like Blues for Allah. Perhaps appreciating them for a German would be like me trying to enjoy polka, which has happened at a polka bar in Minneapolis but would be inconceivable elsewhere.

@seawolf that album has Bernard Purdie, Steve Gadd, Ralph Humphrey, and Jim Keltner on drums, to name a few. Crazy jazz and session players on other instruments too. It would be hard to find an album with a better roster of talent.

I love the compositions, but the performances and production are just so insanely dialed in. Yet it still sounds natural and unforced and not overproduced.

@northsouthdenimguy fantastic pad / spread. Kudos!
