    Album of the Month: Cunningham Bird (2024) Madison Cunningham & Andrew Bird

    Cunningham Bird (2024) is a Buckingham Nicks (1973) cover album from Madison Cunningham and Andrew Bird. You may recognize Cunningham from one of Slicks recent Rage Unplugged tracks, The Moment. This album brings new life to the original album by Fleetwood Mac legends, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, but can also be enjoyed without having ever listened to the originals. Check it out!

    I Really Love Military Applications EP

    I can't explain why I love this EP so much but I really do. I've put it on and sung along to whenever I drive anywhere. I don't see people talking about it at all I feel. I just wanted to shout it to the world that I really really love this EP.

    what’s your favorite song you’ve heard live and what song have you not heard live but want to?

    for me personally, i always love hearing ‘that old black hole’ live, it’s just such a fun one. ‘over here, over there’ at their KEXP show in 2020 was also super cool to see. would love to hear ‘my friend’ or ‘casual freefall’ at a show someday.

    Red Rocks 25 Thoughts on Setlist?!

    I feel like I can speak for atleast half of folks that went to this year of red rocks, But 24 was a thrill. And I’m so blessed to have the opp to go to 25.

    BUTTT I really really hope they don’t do too many repeats of what they played. They have such a discography. And I hope to hear lots of stuff not played again and it would be amazing to hear FAT DOG played live🕺 just wan hear y’all’s thought and what you guys wan hear this year.

    And ofc just happy to see them fellas again cuz they are my fav band by far

    Predictions: Will Philly Get a Hometown Show in 2025?

    With the Red Rocks show already on the calendar for 2025, do you think there’s a good chance we’ll see another hometown Philly show in the new year? Had an amazing time when they played this past July at The Mann. It would be awesome to see this turn into an annual tradition 🤞

    When should I show up at Red Rocks?

    Hey! I missed the chance to see Dr. Dog here in Colorado last year, but I'm determined to make sure nothing stops me this time. The only other RR concert I went to, I severely underestimated how early everyone else would get there and ended up all the way in the back and didn't see Anything lol. What time should I show up to get in line and get a relatively good spot in the lower GA? I don't have to be front and center, but im pretty short so hopefully not too far back.

    Broken and blue when you gave me head

    Am I the only messed up mind hearing Talk Is Cheap this way every time? I can't be wrong....

    Also what's your interpretation of the song? Or did they share their intention somewhere?

    With Red Rocks '25 happening, would people be interested in a Denver area meetup?

    While we wait in the queue for Red Rocks, I was thinking that if everyone is traveling out here to Colorado, it might be cool to organize a meetup for everyone to get together and hang out.

    I'm really active in the King Gizzard community, and people organize so many meetups for their shows and they're always a lot of fun. Especially since it seems like we may only get one or two Dr Dog shows a year, why not get the fans together?

    I have some places in mind where we could do it. Either in Denver proper, or closer to Red Rocks like Golden or Lakewood. The bigger King Gizzard meetups often get done the day before the show, so we have plenty of time. Sometimes there is even a smaller band that plays depending on the venue.

    So who's interested?

    Looking for a song

    I can’t find Dr. Dog’s version of “Shot Caller”. It may be called something else? It’s an older R&B/rap song and they do a great remake of it!!! Anybody know where I can find it?

    clips from every dr. dog show i’ve been to

    i was feeling extra sad about the fact that it’s gonna be a while before dr. dog plays a live show again, so i made a compilation of every show i’ve been to. so incredibly grateful to have caught them at red rocks and riot fest this summer, both absolutely incredible performances.

    in reverse chronological order:

    riot fest (chicago, IL 2024) red rocks (morrison, CO 2024) gothic theatre (denver, CO 2024) last tour @ union transfer (philadelphia, PA 2021) last tour @ TLA (philadelphia, PA 2021) last tour @ neptune theatre (seattle, WA 2021) winter tour @ spanish ballroom (tacoma, WA 2020) winter tour @ neptune theatre (seattle, WA 2020) critical equation tour @ moore theatre (seattle, WA 2018) psychedelic swamp tour @ neptune theatre (seattle, WA 2016)

    i’m so sorry the quality of the last clip is atrocious because it is a snapchat video lmao

    Question about one winters night

    In the part where they talk about Santa in the house, the lines talking about Arthur hood had me thinking, who is he? Anyone know who he is or if it’s a random name.

    Album of the Month: Original Love (2020) Scott McMicken

    “Original Love is a collection of songs all written at the same time. It's a big long love letter; it fell out of a lot of peace and good feelings. The music is playful, and at times kind of absurd, but the actual weight of this theme could not be properly expressed without that absurdity and freedom. Good for date-nights and choreographed knife fights.”

    Anyone care to share their file of "I Hope There's Love"?

    Waaaay, waaaay back in the day I downloaded the album from iTunes, and unbeknownst to me it was a "special digital edition" with "I Hope There's Love" featured. It ONLY exists from this one-time iTunes purchase. Anyone wanna hook me up with a high quality version/rip the track please?
