100 Onces - Live at The Smell, DTLA 6/21/2019
I should eat my lunch it’s nearly 2pm. Instrumental (not really I just can’t make out the lyrics from the screaming)
“You know people tell me That music isn’t a suitable career Fuck ’em You know my bank account’s been telling me That I need to get a ‘real’ job Fuck that” I have $5 in my bank account. In my mind I am destitute.
So yeah I’m here; I’m ok; I’m doing swell. I’m really just bored out of my mind with nothing to do, nothing to accomplish. I thought about trying to befriend the guy that works for Mr. Hill that comes over and mows his lawn and goes on adventures I can only dream about with my neighbor. The problem arose when it came to me thinking of something to say to him. Never actually did talk to him, and instead, I just watered my mini flower garden in the frontyard. He probably wouldn’t have heard me over his leaf blower anyway... Instrumental

OWLS (Owls Band) - Two
Tim Kinsella and the rest of the post-cap'N Jazz Chicago art rockers are at it again... 13 years later. Granted the sound is much matured and refined when compared to the boyish-teen angst S/T album.
Still somehow the quartet manages to hash out unbelievably catchy seances, thanks to the solid drumming of Mike Kinsella and Victor Villarreal's tantric fingerstyle guitar riffs.
