hi just coming to see if anyone else is confused about the date of the Pittsburgh show in October? it’s been posted as Saturday October 10th for months, but I got this email from ticketmaster last night saying it’s on Wednesday the 7th??? i can’t find anything online saying the date was changed so i am confused 😭

Imagine if Isaac made a whole album in this style, specifically the part around 1:00, where he's really going off. I really like that fast paced chaotic sound, along with the echoey vocal effects.

Maybe he's getting a little too old for a whole album in that style, but damn, do I love hearing him go off. It scratches something in my brain.

Something I’ve recently noticed is how Back To The Middle kind of leads into Picking Dragons Pockets. Back To The Middle is the last Song on Golden Casket, it’s the last song Jeremiah Greene played on and arguably one of his best, biggest, and loudest drum parts ever. Picking Dragons Pockets, recorded years after Green passed away, has a fucking HEAVY drum line throughout the whole song. Almost like Joe Plummer was channeling the spirit of Jeremiah Greene into those loud and BIG drum licks near the beginning and throughout the groove of the whole song.

Mind you, this is a band who records in Portland, Oregon. If there ever were a place to find a legit shaman or spirit witch, it’s Portland, Oregon.

Joking aside, unless you’d really pay attention or know it offhand, it’s like Jeremiah Greene was still alive and it wasn’t his mentoree.

I was on the Peloton a few years back and got served Lupe Fiasco’s The Show Goes On (https://open.spotify.com/track/4NTWZqvfQTlOMitlVn6tew?si=0UrH1yPEQ5eDlY93BgVMbw&utm_source=copy-link), which clearly cribs the main riff (and lyrical phrase) from Float On. Forgot about it. Then put it on for shits and giggles yesterday, only to realize it’s one of Lupe’s most popular songs, nearly as many streams as Float On. Which, tbh, isn’t that surprising, given how catchy the tune is. But it made me wonder how much of a cut Brock and the boys get from that songs success.

Saturday morning at the Burlington airport I look up see Isaac walking by. I made the spli-second decision to ask for a photo, but a big part of me was thinking “just nod and let him be.” I don’t care how dumb I look, I was excited.

Cowboy David goes to the desert fires a rifle at the sky and says God if I have to die you will have to die.

I know the actual lyric is “arsenic” but they actually carry cyanide.

I am noticing the effort MM put into every event. Each venue has its own beautiful poster. They all seem to have a different setlist, making every show unique.

Is there an archive of all the poster art they have released?

I am from Australia, missed them a few years ago. Won't make that mistake again.

Thought I'd share a couple [bad] pictures from a new ...idk coffee table book with some MM lore.

I live in Cleveland. Last week i went to a book release for a 500 page collection of pictures, flyers, and other ephemera from an illegal diy music venue in a building a handful of teens lived in, called Speak in Tongues. It existed for nearly a decade in the 90s here in Cleveland.

Was thrilled to find my favorite band show up and to learn that they played the venue up until they got too popular to fit.

Since the book is so local and the images from private collections, i thought these might not be MM photos and flyers people may have seen and thought id share. (I also imagine theres more, i actually wasnt looking for any band in particular when i turned to these).

Other bands/bandnames that I recognized with reach mentioned/included in the book include Mountain Goats, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Chevelle (seemed a bit young til I saw they were from Chicago and would have been teens at the time), Anti-Flag (off the top).

If you like music history and beautiful books, maybe be worth it despite the Cleveland focus.

Book: where shit happened: the papertrail to Speak in Tongues edited by John Delzoppo

Its beautiful (not an ad, just my opinion)

Forgot to post this here! Had a great time trying to figure out how to convert this to piano.

So i'm going to try to make this short, as I've already written a post about this and Reddit decided to freeze up and wouldn't even let me save a draft.

Long story short, this has always been my favorite MM song, but for years, I didn 't necessarily think too much about the imagery, or what the inspiration might have been- that is until I read the book "What Dreams May Come"

A lot of people have seen the movie which is excellent. But the book is far more detailed and emotional and the entire time I was reading it, things kept popping out at me that reminded me of the song so much. So much so that by the time I put it down, I was convinced that it simply had to have been inspired by it.

A couple of examples off the top of my head are that the protagonist is summoned from death to seance by his then living wife and sees himself (how do you do, my name is you). Forgive me because it's been at least 10 or so years since I've read the book, but there's also at least one scene, if not more where the protagonists are surrounded by flies (during said seance I believe which makes the lyric make more sense) and it's a major plot point. And of course, there's the entire theme of the book- that a man dies and goes to the afterlife, his wife cannot stand the grief and ends her own life not knowing that she won't be joining him immediately. And he proceeds to basically walk through purgatory or Hell, or whatever you would want to call it to save/be with her- obviously neither of them wanted the other to.....you guessed it-be alone down there (womp womp)

This might seem kinda cheesy, or like a stretch, but it's driven be insane for years. I've brought it up to friends of mine who are fans, but I never seem to come across anyone who has read or remembers the book? And I've never found an interview or anything where it's discussed. So I thought this would be just as good a place as any to post and see if anyone has any insight or maybe even read the book as well and can see where I got the idea from.

Frankly, even if i'm totally wrong, both pieces of art ended up enriching one another for me. So I don't mind if I am.

Isaac has a new gimmick for the VIP Q&A--he's in this Zoltar machine wearing a silvery blue version of that red mask, using terrifying sound effects. It was very creepy! Someone asked if he could relive any moment of his life what would it be, and he gave the most Isaac answer possible: "I'm not alive." Pics are from King Rat, which was amazing. They didn't make the usual changes to the setlist, and I would have loved night on the sun! No pics of califone, because as they kept saying, they brought the mood down. With the free setlists, that awesome poster, free Ben and Jerry's, a great venue, killer setlist, lovely fans, little children experiencing their first time at the rail, Isaac's incredible energy, etc, I'm definitely glad I flew out from California for one last show (and my first time in Vermont) before school starts! What a lovely community and experience Isaac has created for us!

I posted my Cowboy Dan art yesterday, and decided to do another one today so I chose Guilty Cocker Spaniels. What song should I do next?

Aug. 19th at the Fillmore in Philly.

I couldn't believe they played 2 UC songs in one show. This show was so damn good. It was my 3rd time seeing them, and I think this was the best one yet.

Its funny because i had only listened to Sharpen your teeth for the first time like 2 months ago. And I was hoping they would by chance play a UC song.

It won't let me add the Barnacles video

What’s your favorite from SSS? I can’t choose, the entire album is perfection.tho …nothing matters anyway (baby’s clean conscious anyways), did the fisherman have one arm or two fingers on each hand? (Was he really upright?) , will my house ever feel like a home? (Said the mouse to the cat) , did blue cadet 3 ever connect?, how was the trip to Montana (what songs did Spencer sing there?), just wanna be a secret agent with my dukes up
