There is a live clip from a couple weeks back floating around, but it's Tik Tok length.
Dont wanna post that here obviously.
I can't find the whole Rupp Arena show the clip is from- so here's the album cut.

This is a Charlie Crocket post. Take note

Happy Juneteenth
2 years ago I was listening to a guy at work bitching about Juneteenth.
"It's a made up bullshit holiday!"
All holidays are made up i said. Juneteenth is fucking important.
Then I told him that it celebrated the day that the last group of slaves were Emancipated.
Dude still said it was bullshit.
The lesson is this - a whole bunch of white folk just don't believe the end of slavery deserves to be celebrated.
BTW, that shit dick was a GS-13 & they took the early retirement.
Typical GOP, hates welfare, but are nonstop sucking at that government titty for themselves.

https://music.&si=gHBurTYtK6MAzKRGDo you have a favorite song from a band's worst album?
Not interested in the least shitty song on shitty albums. Rather I'm looking for good songs on shit albums...
Like this one,
https://music.
Final Frontier was arguably the worst Iron Maiden record - Although, IMHO, it isn't.
BTW, Virtual XI isn't either, it missed badly but went down punching.
So, despite the universal hatred of XI, I think the X Factor was the worst. The album sounded sad, disinterested, bloated, and tired. Also, It has no candidates for this list = Worst Maiden album. It's science
I love a couple songs from the Doobie Brothers "Minute by Minute", But figuring out which one was best forced me to listen to the whole record (Because my memory is untrustworthy) just reinforced my low opinion. Worst DB record.
BUT, there are two great songs here that aren't over produced dreck or weren't beaten to death by FM radio
This one calls back to the old Doobies, but still sat in the groove this record was trying to establish.
The track honestly should have been a single... But if it'd been a hit, and it easily could've been, I'd probably hate it now

If you know me, you just nodding to yourself right about now. Even if you don't know the cut, if you know me here in DU MA you'll get it 1-5 seconds into the record

Just kidding, - that song is cool for a minute then it gets very repetitive. Bluegrass songs need to nimbly string together strong takes on the melody to maintain momentum.
That one does not, and that's embarrassing coming from the band who released "Black Watter" just a few years earlier.
I mean this one

Anyway - Got any hidden gems on albums you would never recommend?
A little while back Highplainsdem tipped me about this kid, Jake Vaadeland
This was in late March, and I said I'd check him out - Maybe do a post.
Since then I've been to Massachussets, The Phillipines and California for work, celebrated my 38th wedding anniversary , sold my house and moved.
Anyhow, I was just looking at my inbox and was reminded of that conversation - so I took a listen.
He is a solid artist that's pushing several of my buttons. Here, take a taste.

His band is pretty damn special as well

So, thanks Highplainsdem. Nice find
