Go (K)Nicks! - Your pals at Yep Roc
Good band. Jamieson Mackay and buds make the pretty down at Irene’s last night. I’ve watched this young fellow grow into an incredibly cool musician and performer. Proud of you, friend. #palsofrock
There’s a good bunch of REM records that I neglected the first time through. You know, in the 1980s. It’s been really fun playing catch-up. I’m hearing some songs for the first time. Great fucking band.
Last night’s post-game bike ride home. Gotta love a 9PM sunset on top of a Titans win.
Check out our pitchers shiny belt. He sparkles! Is that legal? It’s distracting even from here. Adds fun to baseball pants though. Teen girls all had the same belt in the 80s. They pair well with an angular haircut and a Roxy Music record. #ballparktalk
“Oh, Swedes are super beautiful. Look at ABBA. I’d fuck every person in ABBA. And most of The Hives.”

Sticky and warm at the ballpark. Air as hazy as my head. The Brocktons trying to answer back after getting drubbed by our local lads yesterday. Bunk off work and pop by. I’m up in the shade. #matinee #playhooky #doubledrugs
Big music weekend in small rooms. Friday is our buddy Jamieson Mackay at Irene’s. His excellent guitar and band will make you happy. Saturday old friend Dave Draves plays early Elton John at Robo Lounge on their Bösendorger grand piano with a hot rhythm section. Let’s go pay attention! #palsofrock
Draves does Dwight. Lovely set of early Elton John music played by pals. Loads of friends were out enjoying the show and it even stopped raining for the bike ride home. Stellar evening. #palsofrock #EltonJohn
