Skiing and Music

[KustyTheKlown]

Ween rules. I’ve been seeing ween since college. I went to ween’s return show in Colorado after the break up. Tacked it on to the end of a 10 day ski trip. Saw them last Halloween at the beacon. Going in September to pier17.

Couldn't swing CO but hit the NY return shows at terminal 5. My mom actually won the lottery for the 4 tickets to each show for me

Had a great weekend we stayed in a VRBO near E 52nd and 2nd Ave. It was a warmer April Spent the weekend walking around the city and to/from the shows. Was a totally carless weekend. Took the train from Harrisburg to NYC

Upbeat French pop. The beats and harmonies are fresh to me. Fun to discover all these unknown sounds.

I've never really dove into Punk.

I agree that certain moods trigger certain types of music.



HUGE Ween fan. I've seen them live more than Phish. For my 35th birthday my wife bought me a fishing trip with Deaner. He was a good captain and had lots of great stories to tell.

Love the boat name! My handle is from a Ween song, can you came that song?

They are the best band no one has ever heard of and bring it for 3 hours every show.

"Please would you like to be somewhere floating free?
Seems my destiny, Captain Fantasy"

Ha! Never made the Wavin connection!



I imagine growing up in PA you had lots more exposure to Ween than I did in VT. Me being in VT, Phish was obviously the band.

I saw Ween once in Burlington in the late 90s and liked them, but didn't really start getting them until I started dating my wife in 2006. They're her favorite band and quickly became my favorite touring band. Thank God the breakup didn't stick. They have been consistently great since coming back.

As Tool was your last concert before the Pandemic, Ween was ours. Took my wife for Valentine's day to NYC for the Terminal 5 shows.

Checked out Jain? Her stuff has been in my rotation for a couple of years. It seems to me she should be more famous in the US.

I like Ween, don't really listen to them in winter. Maybe next year I'll try listening to a wider range of genre's at the mountain. Ween is so stylistically weird, I group them in with Primus, Butthole Surfers, etc and make for great addition to the "driving with the Jeep top off" playlist.

During my recent hospital stay I was able to catch up with new South Park and Beavis and Butthead. Ween has contributed to both shows. Listening to Push Little Daisies I can't help but think Trey Parker modeled Eric Cartman's voice off this song haha.

A few days ago I bought tickets for my wife and I for our first post-pandemic concert. It's not for about three months, but I'm really stoked. The venue is close to my house back in VA and it's for the ONE act I'm probably most interested in seeing these days. We're going to see Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.

I like both individually, each a giant in their music genres, and I'm fascinated by the cool stuff they do together.
It's really bad form to say this, but when you buy a ticket well in advance to see an ancient rock god like Plant there's a little bit of leap of faith that they'll still be kicking by the time of the concert date. But I guess I could say the same about my geezer self.

PS: service fees suck these days.

I've not listened to the new album by that duo, but the first one was fantastic

The second one is just as good. They are great live!

 

[jimk]

They've had live bands/DJs schedlued at the Snowbird tram plaza (Plazapalooza) the last few weeks for several days each week, but it was so incredibly snowy that a lot of the performances were and are still being cancelled due to road closures, avi mitigation, etc.

Liking Jain, thank you for the tip! The Lynx and I were grooving to Naked Funk while making dinner. This one is for Kusty - might like it!

I listen to music maybe 20-30% of the time on mountain (when solo). Usually late in the day, often when I’m just doing drills or piling on vert. Occasionally, randomly, something magical comes out.

At Saddleback, reaching the top of the Kennebago quad and looking back to Yes: “In and around the lake, mountains come out of the sky and they stand there…”

At K in May, lapping Superstar, approaching the top terminal with Tom Bailey (Babble) blurting out what seemed like an ode to the lift: “You take me to a higher place/You take me to another space/You take me to a higher ground/You take me up and then you bring me down/You take me away…”

At SR, charging down Right Stuff late in the day, legs spent, just one bad bump away from wiping out, to Radiohead: “We… are… accidents… waiting… waiting… to ha-a-a-ppen.”

Some good shows I've seen while on ski trips...

Dave Mason at Breckenridge Brewery. sometime in the 90's. Loud and Good.

Jessie Cook, neueva flamenco guitarist at Lebanon Opera House. in NH. Great acoustics,

Galactic at New Sheridan Opera House in Telluride. Great venue we were in front row of the balcony and back when that place was built people were definitely smaller. Erica Falls was singing with them and she was awesome, whitney Houstonesque. She had to catch her breath between songs putting out a lot of thin air.

And the earlier mentions Leftover Salmon at Jackson Center for the Arts this past Feb.

The Lynx and I have been listening to the Cramps tonight, thank to you! Our biggest regret - never seeing them live. Possibly one of the best rock bands ever.

My friends' old band toured with them a bunch. Those were wild shows. Late 90s to c2001.

 

[jimmywilson69]

I have the family subscription for Spotify, and love it. The Discover Weekly "algorithm" playlist has peaked my interest in lots of bands I'd have likely never heard of. Some weeks its fantastic others not so much. I've created my own playlist of favorites from each week that I sometimes just roll on random.

Love the Cramps ! First discovered them in the “Urgh! A Music War” concert film. Managed to see them only once, at Slims in San Francisco, they put on a great show. Edit: would be an interesting experience to be skiing while listening to their raunchy rockabilly.

If you haven’t heard Henry Rollins’ story about meeting Lux Interior, you have to. Really funny.
