s&d: sunburned hand of the man

not the revival i expected. man.

ah man, very sad. he was v sweet to me when I bounced up to him after seeing them play an incredible set when I was about 19 and babbled at him that it was mb the best thing I'd ever seen

I went to see them back in 2006, if memory serves, and it was an amazing experience. My friend, however, thought it the most self-indulgent show he'd ever been to, just a structureless, meaningless mess (see: Your IRL Friends and Their Musical Preferences).

Oof, sad news. My affection for SHotM has always been eclipsed by my affection for NNCK, but loved seeing Sunburned live back in 05 or so. He also seemed like a great guy.

Also, I somehow had no idea that he was in Enos Slaughter, possibly the best of the NNCK-related side projects. The "On Sunday" LP continues to blow my mind these many years later.

Slightly happier thread revival: new one, Pick a Day to Die, is track for track excellent, and feels necessary in a way they haven’t in a while.

Who wants an eight part 'history of' podcast?

Thanks for the nudge Ned, listened to the first episode yesterday. I'll be honest, the first half had me doubting things a little, just not a fan of the whole on mic contemplative, "gee, what would this podcast even LOOK like", thing, but the interview bits are priceless and I'm hoping the edges will sand down in future episodes.
