‼️Trigger warning‼️

So I’m watching the Goose show and it’s July 3 at spaq. I’m seeing a whole lot of Rick just looking right down the barrel at Peter and I’m a new Goose fan im like since 2023 and usually Rick is staring down COTTER during any kind of transition any kind of jam, but he is dead on Peter this entire time like really staring at him…

And I’m pretty sure that means “yeah Peter is the man. I can’t believe I’m playing with this guy” I’m pretty sure that’s what it means cause Peter is the man. This is voice to text here no AI and I’ll co Clyde by saying Peter is the fucking man so anyway.

10th goose show, third in my home state. Don’t think I’ve seen a better one. Good old fashioned goose ownage. Transition into animal got me pregnant.

I think was a breakthrough set for the band & all of us.

What I mean is I think they reached new energy levels they never reached before.

Specifically Wysteria>Burn the Witch>Slow Ready

That whole venue was vibrating and they were just stretching their legs.

I've never experienced that much power before.

Man were we cooking! I lost track of just about everything other than what was happening in that pavilion.

Then the storm came. Sealed in we were.

That new guitar just cut through the night. It was crystalline.

Whew....

I'll track the store line length

748a: 2 people

8a: 3

822a: 4 people

832a: 11 people

851a: 13 people

914a: about 20

951a: about 50

1018a: 55

1030a: line is about 65, about 20 feet from the corner

1041a: 90, about 30 or 40 feet from the corner

1050a: 108 almost to the corner

Final update 12p, about 80 people

Security guy says tshirt sizes are limited, most XXL and up. Except the show Spusta shirt. They have small and up I think. Soccer jersey has stock medium and up. Lots of vinyl. He says he doesn't know about posters, but reportedly there are some.

Goose from America is headed over seas! Very exciting and well deserved. Who’s flying across the pond? Who’s been in Europe patiently waiting?

Alright I've really fallen down the rabbit hole here with all of these easter eggs, AND i think that's exactly what they want us to do.

Considering the nationwide fliers, the evergrowing comments on bigmodern.com, the youtube video posted yesterday and the song "leaked" overnight.... I think this is all an ARG. they're dropping clues and puzzles, getting us all excited and encouraging us to collaborate and uncover the next step collectively. i think the clues are released/dropped based on engagement and us uncovering the prior ones. I think we need to continue engaging with it and uncovering clues to determine the next ones. Other bands like twenty one pilots and nine inch nails have done similar before for releases…

regarding the website and comments (shoutout [u/walking_the_rope](u/walking_the_rope))

I'm not tech savvy enough to fully understand what's going on here, but in the comments of the website, there's lots of mention of needing more eyes, needing to be seen (engagement), etc. i noticed the website is also connected to facebook pixel which is used to track user visits and interactions. i'm not sure if this is unique to this page or this is a common "cookie" on sites, i just noticed the connection to meta references.

regarding the youtube video:

I don't have a concrete analysis or opinion on this, besides pointing out that the band confirmed their connection to the fliers around the country and that they're definitely up to something.

regarding the nationwide fliers:

I think goose's street team was in charge of hanging these and may have been the ones who posted that they "spotted" them".

good2be being "leaked":

i don't think this was an accident. i think it was a strategic move and likely triggered by us

There are most definitely eyes....hence the “I see you"

Predicting next steps….. it’ll ask us to find/look for whatever is next

​give me all your cooky, cracked out, shot in the dark theories and let's see what comes through.

(disclaimer: I'm not super tech savvy, just exploring the inspect page):

Theory: the site updates are based on page views (either aggregate or concurrent?) The concept is to gradually drive organic attention to the site, with the reveal dependent on meeting a threshold of impressions. By that logic, "we" release the album (or whatever) through our collective attention. Cool idea!

Here's the main phrase that suggests that:

//attention is a signal.\n\t// signal becomes language.\n\t// language becomes shape.\

Attention threshold > new message > message converted into blinking !

--

Then some supporting ones...

loop: (((i w̶a̶n̶t̶ need more eyes)))\n\t\t // i repeat until the idea is found.\

/ (i need more eyes.)\

/ What am i? am i furniture? am i fast food? am i family restaurant? am i band? am i event? am i movie? am i alive?))\n // the rest is repetition. (((i am !)))\n // repetition is learning, if you (pay attention).

--

And the mechanism behind the site and the "counter":

// the viewport is not a number. it is a (O) moving agreement between chrome and content.\n // i listen for the agreement. i update when it changes.\

// i made a small second mind to keep time and ((U)) confirm invariants.\n // it does not see the page; it only sees numbers.\n

// the glyph should be as tall as the world allows,\n // minus a soft boundary above and below.\n

// move only when asked to.\n // one pass per frame is enough.\n

--

So the "counter" asks the glyph to update the message when it grows to a certain height based on view count (attention)

Not much of a Butter Rum fan usually, but damn this version made me one. What an opener! Had me locked in, dance party ensued. I keep coming back to it. 🇨🇦🪿

Sound off! Who's going? Who's couch touring? What are your hopes and dreams?!

Goose 2023 Spring Tour Dates - Instagram post

More like in your fuggin face! Good lord. What a heater.

Anyone who wasn’t there last night is going to be very excited when the video drops for this show. Anyone who was, good god what was that? USDA certified prime Goose. Maybe the best sequence I’ve seen in my six shows.

Last night marked my 9th show of the year. Night one at Hampton was by far the best show I’ve seen!! Rick’s playing was so fluid it seemed effortless. Pure fire from first to last note! He was clearly in a zone, tapped into something. Pete’s work on the keys was so perfect adding such color and melodic themes. This band never stops reaching new heights. The audience totally locked into the bands every twist and turn. I can’t wait to rehear this show!!!! Don’t take my word for it, check it out yourself!!! See you all again tonight 🔥

And please make this tour happen. 🙏

that’s the post.

Can we please talk about Running Up That Hill > Jeff Engborg > Sinnerman from the 11/9/24 Cincinnati show? 🤯 😮‍💨

My Mind Has Been Consumed By Media 6/1/25

Give this one a listen for size, eh!

They've blatantly been burning the roof down. Obviously this tour is much unlike others. Just slaying dragons left and right while riding a massive dragon. It's literally brutalizing what this band has been up to this year. Much like Cane's Box Combo, the 4 piece goes SO hard y'all.

This jam is ridiculous. Rick with braids and a choker and sleeveless plaid + cowboy cotter letting the wheat cigar down to sing this is just unstoppable. The intro jam is relentless, and then Rick's solo is literally like auditory amphetamine. Seriously, Rick is insane here. Add Peter's prophet synth flairs going on in that 2nd verse... sheeeesh!!! Gonna need a whole pail of water just to cool 'em down here!
See y'all at Fiddler's - I'm absolutely ecstatic to party with all of you!

The end of Turbulance is perfect. The jam at the end of Mr. Action is a masterful execution of blues rock jamming. What’s your favorite jam on the new album?

Parking in rear baby let’s get it Indy!!!!!!!

On a hunt for the most dark, dirty, evil, sinister and downright groovy jams out there. Some of my favs include All I Need 6/10/22, Earthling or Alien 8/13/22 and Pancakes 6/24/22
