FTFY I need to learn that lick on guitar...

I had a Shepherd's Pie.

That's it, fuck this, I'm going out to eat lunch.

Yeah, no, I didn't mind, I'm just sorry I cancelled movie night to attend her concert, I probably could still have made it to my friend's house for a shorter movie. (We don't usually start 'til 9.) She talked about switching careers to doing standup comedy, because less equipment, and less equipment problems, and then promptly had an equipment problem. Then she said she only knew two jokes, told one, but then made several others over the course of the evening.

Laurie Anderson -- really unusual gig from her, lots of musical improvisation, jokes, very enjoyable, despite being done before 9, and a few technical hiccups early on.

Amy Schumer: the Leather Special I laughed so hard, I farted.

Happy birthday! Please don't be a stranger. (party favour noise)

Bojangles >> Cracker Barrel, or roughly about the same?

!!! I reference that skit all the time. Scary. We must be similar ages.

I'm pretty sure that's in your head. (waits)

I'm pretty sure you can set them on top. Bananas average less than 7.5 cm in width. But yeah, they'll bruise like that, so FAIL at banana hanging.

BUY ALL THE THINGS! It is the Head-Case way.

So..."yes, they can hold bananas"?

They look solid, but I bet my cat can still knock them over. Favourite comment: "Can these hold bananas?"

Tommy Emmanuel -- that was fantastic, definitely my thing. He was asked to describe what he does, and he answered (before his brain had a chance to kick in), "...tell stories without words..." (and his brain said after the fact, that that was actually pretty good). So yeah, largely instrumental music, some jazz, some blues, some fingerstyle, all great. Definitely enjoyed the opener, Joe Robinson, too, despite his baby face. (He was a little less country, and did some cool things with a Gretsch White Falcon Jr. and a strat, so in some ways, he was more "my thing".) Insta-purchase (and I did -- both of his albums, right there and then).

A bunch of CG shorts I found on YouTube. So far, these are the best: although this was pretty funny in parts:

Yeezh. I hate when that happens.

Unholy carp, just a minute in, and I'm already in love. Purchasing. Going to pre-order their next album in the 24/96 format, yah? EDIT: Never mind, it's not really "their next album", it's older material worked into the big band format -- so, their Sylva, as it were -- but still, glorious, my thing, definitely getting it...

I almost always do the updates, but mine are (mildly) vetted by Verizon, so I probably won't get that for another week or two.

I only needed a couple seconds to realize I would love this.

I just opened up my box and the disks were missing, so I'm listening to this on Tidal.
