We hit up London last night for an amazing Thrush Hermit show, as they tour the 20th anniversary of the classic Clayton Park.
I am getting slightly excited for the Thrush Hermit show this October. Sweet Homewrecker was cranked loudly both last night, and on the way to work this morning.
I am still trying to find my Sebadoh zippo, and while I cannot locate it, I am finding some other gems. The case is missing, but I still have the cassette for Smart Bomb by the mighty Thrush Hermit.
Lauras car is in the shop today, so its a Pappa B truck kinda day for me. Busted out some tapes for the ride to work, including these new OCS (pre-Thee Oh Sees) which I have never listened to before.
A photo recap.

I found my drum stick collection at my folks place during Easer weekend dinner. Some great shit in there. The majority of which are made up of GBV (Kevin March), and C'mon (RAAAANDDDY!!!) sticks.
Most notable however is the Thrush Hermit stick that was signed by the whole band, and where Ian signed it as Neil Peart back in '95. As well as a Dave Lombardo stick that he handed me during a Fantomas show. That fucker was a thick as a tree and he still broke it.
Cranking some Thrush tapes in my car. Only two days left with my Conklin Car, so I am making use of the tape deck while I still can. RIP old friend.
I am continuing my quest through the old boxes of mine that are all over my parents basement. I am starting to bring over all my VHS movies to the Serpentine Pad. LOTS of awesome stuff. Stuff I forgot I had. I am really glad I never got rid of some of this shit, like the Faith No More tapes, the Thrush Hermit tape, and the countless horror flicks that I love.
Two BIG finds that I thought were gone forever was a box containing the NIGHTMARE VIDEO BOARD GAME!!!! The first 3 instalments. I was so happy to find that one.
EVEN BIGGER FIND was the signed Mr Bungle shirt I got back in high school.
These are the good times.
