HEY THERE!
Down in miami, doing miami stuff!
beach, pool, massage, repeat.
in between i work out and walk and eat stuff with quinoa in it.
i have to tell you about the melvins new record, tarantula heart.
if you hate metal, then stop reading this.
but you'd think after 40 years in the business Buzzo et al would not be inventing new stuff.
but the first song on this record ("pain equals funny" ) might be the greatest metal medley ever. i know i'm using the term "medley" incorrectly - but what to do you call a 20 minutes song with separate parts, each one classic?
you can get the album on iTunes. but i include the youtube link below.
again, if you're not into metal, you will find this abrasive and perhaps insane. so don't listen to it just to complain about how noisy and irritating it is. if you love metal and hard rock, this will be hit you in the face.
but for me its equal parts Stooges, Kiss and Hendrix, with Buzzo in front.
Congratulations to @Ted_Prohowich. Your question was chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Ted_Prohowich What's your back to school advice?
Mark and I went for a hike at Shell Ridge Open Space in Walnut Creek today, and the weather felt tropical. Beautiful clouds and warm. It was absolutely beautiful!
I did, however, make the strategic decision to stay a good distance behind Mark—not because I needed the exercise, but because he was on the phone making a customer complaint. 😂. I think complaining, justified though, gives him a natural high.
I was there to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the fresh air, and this gorgeous protected open space. I had no interest in adding “listen to Mark complain” to my Friday itinerary.
Sometimes a little distance is good for a marriage. Especially when one person is on hold. 😂
How was your Friday?
Listening to Joey Jones interview survivor of Abbey Gate - hard to believe it’s been 5 years. Have to post again this photo of Marine Sgt Gee in Afghanistan and mourn her passing once more—
