I wanna try a honey slide

― sleeve, Friday, September 8, 2017 1:11 PM

I have! In early 2006 after a couple drinks some friends and I who'd read Shakey got whatever weed I had left and honey and put it in a pan at low heat. It carmelized into a tar-like substance not unpleasant but not the sort of thing I'd eat on a waffle cone. Ten minutes after consumption, one buddy was like ALFRED YOU FUCKED US OVER AND WASTED GOOD POT.

Ten minutes later, we couldn't move.

ha!

"Through My Sails: I'm On Boat W/Neil (& His Money)!" (Moderator: Captain Whoopee)

So Amazon fucked me over
Went to 2 stores it was sold out (#Minneapolis)

Finally got it at the third store, this album is so gorgeous lives up to my high expectations

A+ honey slides story Alfred

also, damn i neeeeed this shirt

I bought a Zuma T-shirt a couple of years ago. I wore it to school one day (band T-shirt spirit day), forgetting there was a breast on there--clicked in just before school started, so I covered it up with a name tag.

Dug up Shakey tonight, forgot this gem, the succession of people through whose hands a Devo tape eventually made it into Neil's, leading to them collaborating:

Chris Stein > David Bowie> Iggy Pop >Toni Basil > Dean Stockwell > Neil Young

haaa this is great

Dug up Shakey tonight,

Thanks to Hitchhiker, this has been my go-to storm thumb-through reading the past few weeks (first read it in anticipation of Archives I back in '09).

suggestion for the Doghouse:Doghouse panel moderator

man, hithchhiker is a really nice package overall — this should be the template going forward, well-done one-offs, affordable vinyl, amazing tunes. funny that they used the same sand background as on the beach's inner sleeve. recycling!

listed as "special release series disc 5" -- so what are the ones before that? Time Fades Away II, Tonight's the Night uncut, Homegrown, Dume? Confusing as to how these things are characterized ...
