Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: On the Bandstand

“Yeah, you have time. You know, when you hear the music come back.”

(Cue the music and a collective sigh.)

So no food for the strings so we will be ornery for the night. We’ll take a Snickers or something.

So, no lengthy Wumbo. The last two weeks were plenty, and I’m still recovering from the robot combat article. So are you probably!

I’d say we’ll be back next week but that is Opening Night so that may be a Scotchy vehicle. I will be back at the college as well since they moved the TAing class to Wednesday. This is a wrench in the schedule I did not foresee, but as long as I bring my laptop it should not be an issue.

Enjoy the baseball, WNBA, and continuous pantsing of MLS by Liga MX! Which deserves to be a fantasy lesser footy name.

The military’s new testosterone policy is certainly curious: If you’re already on HRT you are not eligible for the military because you are a tranny weirdo, but also we’re enforcing mandatory testosterone screening and if you are too girly we will provide HRT.

Another band with only one OG member.

Is eyepatch still with them?

They were still pretty great when I saw them about 10 years ago.

Beerguyrob

It doesn’t appear so. Just the keyboardist is the last soldier.

WCS

Didn’t know Dan Crenshaw was also a musician.

I saw an Alice Cooper interview recently where he was asked what he thought about the old bands still touring. He said hey it’s what we do. As long as we still put on a good show, we drive on.

I saw the final show of his recent tour here in July and it was much better than I expected. In fact I have nothing but praise for it.

While Starship wasn’t good, I hope you get better here soon.

Nita was a nice addition to his show too…

Nita’s on maternity leave. This is her hand picked replacement:

Well I don’t know which one was playing in Bassano this past July but regardless, she was great.

Gumbygirl

They were one of the bands at the first concert I went to. That was over 50 years ago. Cue the whippersnappers telling me how they were in kindergarten then…

I like Billy Idol fine (more than the average person, probably) but he is not an artist I associate with the city of New York.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

(to explain, they are using this song as the theme for the U.S. Open)

I guess his music is ok. It’s just that here has never been a less threatening snarl and fist. Ever. And the man has been brandishing both for fifty years now.

Gumbygirl

I have a soft spot for Billy!

WCS

The NC State wolven sort are already raising our royal aquatic mammal’s Pill Level beyond “worrisome” levels.

Dunstan

Seriously, everyone involved in this Star Trek puppets episode should die very painfully.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, throw ’em in a Sarlacc Pit!

I know bait when I see it….

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Note to self: get more irresistible bait.

Agreed. I’m a fan of Strange New Worlds, but this is making Discovery and Starfleet Academy look like “In the Pale Moonlight” and “Duet”.

Beerguyrob

The transition from White Rabbit to We Built This City was a car crash. Luckily, they’ve stopped. Kansas is next.

Wait. They went from White Rabbit into We Built This City without stopping? Like a jam band? Holy shit!

Dunstan

TV update:
Lanterns is very good.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds has fallen off a cliff with all these gimmicky episodes
Looking forward to the new season of Slow Horses

Gatoraids

yeah was surprised the missus was asking about watching the Lanterns after refusing to like comic movies after boyfriends in the early 2000s subjected her to the Marvel films from that era. DO YOU KNOW

Mr. Ayo

Carlito loses the first set and seems intent on bageling the poor bastard now.

He has a family!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I thought Derelictarlos’ body language at the end of the first set portended an imminent crashout, but no. He was angry, but in a productive way.

Gatoraids

spit in the face of those who dont want to be cool

Beerguyrob

I have won free tickets to a Jefferson Starship / Kansas / Deep Purple concert, and it’s about what you’d expect. JS has started the show, and despite being only o e original member they have just done White Rabbit into We Built This City. None of the notes can be hit. It’s so bad it’s become good.

Martini here.

My current regular martini is a 2:1 of St. George Terroir Gin and bergamot liqueur with a twist of orange rind.

*cheers* enjoying the AEW with a bit of LIT express

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly
yeah right

In all its glory.

Found a funny:

Spencer’s Gifts sounds like the name of a movie about a sweet little boy who is very sick.

WCS

A made-for-TV movie.
