Most of the above, at various points, although I'm a little more interested in the second-tier stuff these days, to which I'd add Jerry's Kids Offenders Articles of Faith N.O.T.A. Always up for the "hardcore-adjacent" stuff too. I think someone mentioned Big Boys and before that punk funk...

Chicago show in June with our own FM four_oclocker_2.2 and former (?) FM Eliya! We are really looking forward to this and have been working for a month or so trying to get this all set up. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/boston-typewriter-orchestra-at-co-prosperity-tickets-891835523057 https://www.inst...

(back to topic) I haven't tested it out yet, but I want to make an electronic-ofied kick out of a kick practice pad, a contact mic, into a Bit Commander and maybe other things. These are things I already have so why not. This is pretty cool and I’d like to hear the results. As someone who tried a l...

Kinda want a 6/8/10 set of Rototoms. Have we forgiven the 80s yet for the proliferation of these?

At some point in the early/mid aughts I was able to come out of the closet as a Rush fan. It was very liberating no longer having to pretend I came out of the womb listening to velvet underground and the stooges or whatever nonsense people do. I found in the early/mid aughts is when I finally start...

It used to be a running joke among close friends and bandmates that “you looked like you were having fun up there” was dismissive, glib, faint praise. I’ve mostly come around on this and can accept “fun” as a genuine compliment, albeit from folks who might not go out to shows very much. I’d consider...

I'm so fucking excited to see The Dick Slessig Combo tonight. I'm REALLY hoping they do their rendition of Kraftwerk's "Computer Love," as I read they did that in San Francisco last week. Matmos is playing too, and that will be cool. Matmos played in Boston (ok, Cambridge) in '22 and it w...
