pffft that cats are for women, dogs are for dudes thing is for my ass is what it is
you must know some neurotic cats, i’ve known plenty of neurotic dogs
my cats are chill as fuck. they’re either sleeping, clowning, or hunting. feed em and give em five minutes of lap time a day and they’re good.
i always thought having a dog was like having a girlfriend. all that maintenance. walks in the rain and shit.
cats are like a bro roomate that just gives you the nod whenever you come back in…wassup dude…and you’re like Hey cat, what’s new? and the cat looks back and is just like…you know…chillin
dogs are all up in your grill more i think
but like i said i like em both, cats are just easier for me
cat hatin’ is weak sauce
Remember that Dark Star from Miami we were discussing a few months back?
Well let’s just say that shit was freaky. Gave me nightmares for a week.
Thanks Mr C
You officially haunted my dreams for weeks.
I don’t hate cats C. I just have ADD and need constant attention. That in your face shit dogs give me is what I need.
hahahahaha thats perfect then
i totally get that
can you believe they’re gonna officially release the miami mindfuck? i think it’s gonna happen. that cracks me up. not in a bad way, I think its great. but a lotta people are gonna get a surprise, don’t you think?
i wish i could write the liner notes to that thing
i’d tell the truth about what happened that night
I can’t listen to that shit for at least another year. It’s like egg nogg, shit is good but you can only handle it once a year.
I read some posts on that show when I was streaming it a few weeks back.
Some women jumped off the balcony or some shit. I can understand why. You need to be mentally prepared for that jam.
Just saying the Miami Darkstar makes me feel dirty.
I don’t hate cats or dogs, just people
And I certainly don’t trust people that hate dogs, cats, etc
Fuckin’ zoo over here a couple weeks ago…on top of our 4 cats we were watching a dog for 2 weeks, and a damn snake during one of those weeks.
Cats are cool if you don’t mind the inside shitting and occasional stepping in piles of puke in the middle of the night. 2 of ours love the smoke (the old girl, Charlie Parker, 14, and one of the 5 year old boys, Carl). 2 hate it (Lenny, Carl’s runt brother, and Donna Lee Godchaux, 9, who loves cigarette smoke, as does Carl).
Dogs are definitely too high maintenance for me. Unless I worked from home and had an acre in the back.
Official Miami release would be the shit, but the existing SBD is killer, so meh I guess.
Still haven’t spun the Miami Dark Star! Guess I’m saving it for a special occasion
Maybe I’ll load it on the pod for some post MSG enjoyfreakoutment listening
lol @ voopa.. how do you know the cats love cig smoke?
Sumo ftw!
Another huge Volcano in Iceland may erupt. Cool video in this article as well.

weed wars premier on discovery tonight at 10 est. interesting…
cats make me sneeze, dogs make me sneeze too. but i love both. domesticated animals are the best friends in the world
You’re nuts Sumo.
If I played that (if spun) after a Phish show, you would find me melted in a pool of shit on the floor.
Not sure what that means, but it would be very bad.

One or the other gets right in my lap after a heater, and demands I pet them with the smoking hand, which my wife discourages, obviously.
I’m down to 8 or less a day (had only 2 on Sunday), so I think they’re starting to jones…
Man, that looks so nice. Nicely organized. Epic photography. Beautiful design work. Your articles throughout the years have been some of the best I have ever read. I commend you, keep up the great work! and thanks,
all the best of luck in the future

yeah I think the idea now is they can’t skip over good releases just because collectors have decent quality already. too restrictive. they have to go with what’s good.
lol @ egg nog
i don’t think the jumping from the balcony thing happened at that show. i think that dude hallucinated it. but all the other stories on that show page ring true.
Wow, cool blog James
I think the egg nog simile only holds up if the Miami Dark Star sucked and was awful and there were a billion better Dark Stars (representing just about every other potential beverage out there, if we’re going to stick with the simile) out there…
Also, the Miami Dark Star should be drunk much more regularly than annually.
So there’s that.
8/2/98 ghost – crisp, funky adventure. muy bien
^well played, garretc. not a big egg nog fan, i’d much rather sip on lighter fluid, but as always ymmv
Nog & brandy is a holiday tradition around here. A nice reprieve from the shots, kinda like booze infused Pepto.
Voopa did you see this on James’ blog?
