  1. Huge thanks to whoever gave me this link to when Curt and Cris from the Meat Puppets played acoustic songs on Tempe, Arizona radio station KUKQ in 1990 (so young - only a band for about 10 years at this point, but still, preparing to play with Peter Murphy).

    They do a few songs with a mini interview - the first song is an instrumental version of a song they'd later record with lyrics, 'That's How It Goes' that Curt had JUST written, it didn't even have a title at that point- and he plays it on a 12 string he wasn't even familiar with. Just fuckin awesome. Then they do 'Plateau', 'One of These Days', 'If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time' (the interview) and 'Candy Hearts', a George Jones cover. And the host Jonathan mentions a Smithereens CD at the end! Epic.

  3. "Throw these bums out": #AOC and #BernieSanders take their campaign against "#oligarchy" out west

    Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders addressed thousands at their "#FightingOligarchy" tour stops in #Nevada and #Arizona

    Sanders: “We will not allow you to move this country to an oligarchy. We’re not going to allow you and your friend Mr. Musk and the other billionaires to wreak havoc on this country. We’re not a poor country. There is no excuse on God’s earth for people to have to choose between food and the medicine they need to stay alive.”

    "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders hit the road this week to rally Democrats to fight back against President Donald #Trump and billionaire Elon #Musk’s 'move to an oligarchy.'

    "The Vermonter and New Yorker each brought their #ProWorker stump speeches to the #southwestern purple states on Thursday, day one of a three-day tour.

    "The pair's #LasVegas stop drew over a thousand people, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal, with supporters chanting 'primary Chuck' during AOC’s speech, referring to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. In #TempeArizona, the duo addressed a crowd of more than 15,000 between an arena and overflow attendees outside, the senator said on social media.

    "Speaking in #Arizona, Sanders, whose 'Fighting Oligarchy Tour' has already touched down in #Wisconsin and #Michigan, homed in on the #billionaires he says are tightening their grip on the country."

  4. I took this photo specifically for #FensterFreitag which is #WindowFriday but I am always a sucker for the Golden Hour glowing buildings. Plus if you have a long lens on your full-frame camera you get quite a good peep into the apartments, ha-ha! #Tempe #TempeArizona #Arizona #GoldenHour
