Erotic figure like a Sheela Na Gig in San Pedro de Cervatos, Spain 👌
Sheela Na Gigs are a type of erotic stone carving of a female figure usually found on Romanesque churches. They depict an old woman squatting and pulling apart her vulva.

50 years ago tonight in #berkeley, the final show by #JerryGarcia & legion of mary, also the last circulating garcia/saunders tape until their 1978-1979 reunion (though they gig together ’til the end of july). audience tape:
The Beacon Theatre Robert Plant gig for the benefit of Arthur Lee with Ian Hunter is now published as a legitimate album, "Beacon Theatre"
It's been around as a bootleg (an excellent one with a few tweaks and bonks), for years and they're two comparable releases.
The official one doesn't credit Ian Hunter, it was his band that backed Robert Plant, along with Love's guitarist Johnny Ecchols. He also sang on "When Will I Be Loved".

So, I applied for a freelance gig on a well known creative site, and never heard back from the company about it.
But, I did receive a direct message from them via the platform asking me to vote for them in the yearly awards, which was just lovely. /s
Yesterday I missed the Amyl & the Sniffers gig at Gasometer (because when I checked if they come to Vienna some time ago, they didn't, and when I realized the do it was sold out). But now I've just seen that is cancled anyway...
Today:
⁃ New interview video promo for our rapper finished, uploaded and distributed
⁃ Rough cut of the Beach Boys set we played with Matt Jardine completed and uploaded to everyone
⁃ Marketing call with clients for an upcoming gig to determine what I can create for them
⁃ Had an HOA legal matter rescheduled *by the court days out* because *they are exepecting widespread civil unrest*

You can wave an Israeli flag but not a Hezbollah one.
You can express support for the genocidal IDF but not the problematic but non-genocidal Hezbollah.
It's not even a double standard.

It's hilarious that someone tried to get into the Oasis gig with a ladder over the perimeter fence; it's got to have been the most heavily policed event here ever, didn't stand a chance. Heck, I doubt the pope got this many police.

This is me (playing bass) with my first band ever called Rapa Nui. This was officially our first gig, although the first one happened a few months before this one, in Sarajevo, in front of the then-demolished Youth House.
Back then, I hated melodic punk, feeling the buzz from bands like Motorhead and different extreme metal and grindcore artists.
However, in 2016, I rediscovered an old favorite.
This is a story of how Bad Religion made me start listening to punk rock, an…

Playing a gig with Matt Jardine (son of Al Jardine of The Beach Boys) in a month, so just watched the "Classic Albums" episode on Pet Sounds.
Man.
God only knows how I'll manage to do that justice.

The office tonight.
No edits—I love what the camera saw.
Was a funny gig: meant to be a public show in the park next door, but got moved in here due to weather. Totally different crowd than we expected, so we had to change up the set list, and with a fill-in bass player, too... he did great though.
It was fun having to focus on technical accuracy since the crowd was doing nothing but watching and listening (no dance floor, not an event unrelated to us)!
To all #toronto #ontario etc #musicians whom I am prone to SUSPECT¹ pay no attention to other than their undoubtably vital Summer outdoor Festival schedules (and priming their art for such) please do note:
#Toronto is about to enter a 5-day heat wave.
¹ because those I told today's said OMG they had a no-shade gig next week and didn't know.
