What a fucking show this was, too. Nate Bergman and Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown opened for them, I had never heard of TBSD before tonight and GOOD GOD did they blow the (proverbial) windows out of that place. New fan unlocked.
Not to mention, if anyone can get a rise out of mild-mannered Ottawa, it's Clutch, 10/10 experience. I was STOKED to hear "Walking in the Great Shining Path of Monster Trucks".

Some time around 1993 middle school me and a friend had snuck out of a sleepover after everyone was asleep and were wandering the sidewalks of Nashua Nh looking for adventure.

A commotion of bouncers and violence and noise came crashing out an emergency exit onto the sidewalk, and before the door swung closed we had slipped inside.

We looked conspicuous enough that we only saw half of a Clutch song before we got ejected back to the sidewalk, but it was pretty exciting.

The band SubZero from NYC had opened the show and were at that point drinking in their van at the curb. My friend Andrew being much bolder and wiser, recognized the situation and approached asking for free band swag.

To my great shock, Andrew talked his way into two cassette demos and a T-shirt. I wore out that tape, and was still wearing the shirt when my high school band opened for subzero about three years later.

This one was definitely on the demo

Kurt Rosenwinkle is such an underrated guitar player.

He really is. Really soulful and hip playing. Peter Bernstein was there two and he was awesome too. More traditional sounding of course. Honestly the solos were great but I was really blown away by both of their comping skills. It’s made me really appreciate that aspect a lot more. Now back to the woodshed.
 
First two Sabbath albums. Thinking back to how much I listened to these over and over as a teenager.

The used vinyl of Paranoid I bought had a cut-out of some naked pinup model from the 70s. Like it was passed down from one teenager to the next. I recorded it onto cassette and handled that instead.

Fell in love with this 1982 album and rediscovered the whole cassette movement from the 80s.

Proper fuzz pedal usage.. and it's a 2025 release (the video is awesomely retro!):



I'm not a C&W fan but Sturgill Simpson blasts the fusion button and it's good.

And the non-video 'safe' option.. the bass line on this is just hitting it.

And another favourite:

I don't know if I posted this before...

This is what I tell my friends I think that I do when I do pedals:


Wait for that breakdown, though!

[edit: this video heavily features DIY pedal-making, showcasing some practices I would like to complain about, like white washer use, blowtorching the solder side, and use of demonic blood flow that is not top-jack situated]

You ready for some nerd flex?

I play through the suites every few years when I need to remind myself how far I've fallen. Not on cello though, thankfully for me (unfortunately for my family and neighbors) there is a bass trombone transcription. I not only own that Rostropovich cd, it's the recording I used to recommend when I worked at an all classical record store. I absolutely smashed that like button.

Yeah it’s one of my favorite records ever. His interpretation is so great.
