Yeah he’s just so effortlessly powerful and complex. And he mantains the groove too. There’s a pocket to his playing that usually gets lost in technical drumming.
in reply to: Share Your First Song of the DayYo, my first song of the day is WDA (When Dreams Attack) written by Jae Lucas & produced by KJ-Wol. This is one of the many different types of songs and beats I’ve watched this dude handcraft and it’s easily one of my favorites from his debut project– Stay Solid! Go check out the full project, linked below!

in reply to: Share Your First Song of the DayHey first post here, hi
First song today was Wakin on a Pretty Day by Kurt Vile. It’s the perfect early hours relaxation tune. If I had a nickel for every time I put this song on first thing in the morning… that would be a weird way to make money (-Mitch Hedberg)

in reply to: What’s Your Most Haunted Charleston Experience?When I was in college I smoked a joint with my friend and then we went skating down by the battery, around 1 or 2am. We always liked to skate down Legare Street because it was exceptionally smooth. After a while of skating around, enjoying the breeze, we slowed down to take in the sights on Tradd Street.
Somewhere along the way we encountered an old cast iron gate. We stood there admiring the gate for a while — it really is a nice gate. Then, out of nowhere, the two of us got absolutely spooked. We felt the need to get out of there immediately. We skated off as fast as we could and didn’t stop to regroup until we got back to my house, which was on Barre Street at the time (the house has since been knocked...
When I was in college I smoked a joint with my friend and then we went skating down by the battery, around 1 or 2am. We always liked to skate down Legare Street because it was exceptionally smooth.

Somewhere along the way we encountered an old cast iron gate. We stood there admiring the gate for a while — it really is a nice gate. Then, out of nowhere, the two of us got absolutely spooked. We felt the need to get out of there immediately. We skated off as fast as we could and didn’t stop to regroup until we got back to my house, which was on Barre Street at the time (the house has since been knocked down).
Still to this day, both of us remember this night and don’t have a true explanation for it. Other than the possibility that we were both just stoned… or we saw a ghost.
I could not tell you the exact gate that we stopped at, but I did come across this page in the Southern Spirit Guide, which offers a possible explanation.
From the article:
Simmons Gateposts
131 Tradd Street“These gateposts, marking where Ruth Lowndes Simmons’ home once stood, serve as sentinels to remind us of a tragic love story. While Ruth Lowndes was from a noble Charleston family, she was almost a spinster when she married Francis Simmons, a wealthy planter. Simmons provided his wife with a fine house here, though he had his own home on nearby Legare Street. When their separate carriages would pass, the couple would rise and bow to the other. An old Charleston legend says that the sounds of a horse and carriage are heard here. James Caskey reports that he felt the rush of air and smelled the odor of sweaty horses as he visited these gateposts at night.”

in reply to: Sweetwater Extra Chill 420@chucktownboomer the Extra Chill Pils sold out and Fatty’s never came through with a second batch.
in forum: CharlestonI’ve always been fascinated by the supernatural side of Charleston’s history.
Did you know the porch ceilings downtown are painted haint blue to ward off evil spirits?
Some people don’t believe the ghost stories, but I’ve heard plenty of people recall their encounters with the ghosts of Charleston.
Not to mention, the city makes a lot of tourism dollars off these ghost stories.

in reply to: Sweetwater Extra Chill 420@ravenel_fridge I picked up one of the Sweetwater variety packs a few weeks back. Of the new varieties, my favorite was the mango crush. My wife even had a sip and she liked it, as a non beer drinker. The Extra Chill was alright. I’ll give it a 6/10. If it was actually Extra Chill I would bump that up by at least a full point.
What ever happened to the beer you made with Fatty’s? The Extra Chill Pils, was it?
in reply to: Stereogum’s Latest Band to Watch: FontFont is such a great Austin band. I love that Stereogum picked them up.
The album Strange Burden is out now, btw. Very interesting rock & roll music.
