King Buzzo&Trevor Dunn on tour 2024

[Dumpster D]

Not sure if I mentioned this already, but while digitizing some records I put on my "Sidewalk Begging" flexi. Flexis have notoriously bad sound - better than lathe cuts but worse then a lot of wacky splatters and other record novelties. Sometimes they don't lay flat and they basically play warped. Sometimes you need to tape them on to the platter or a base disc. Sometimes they're just noisy or irreparably wobbly or lack bass.

The "Sidewalk Begging" is easily the best sounding flexi I've ever played. It had to be forced a little bit to fit the spindle, but it gripped the spindle exactly as it should and lay nice and flat. The groove played perfectly and the mix and balance was awesome.

I can't necessarily say it sounded better than the video in high def, but I really enjoyed it.

Flexis wear out after about 40 or 50 plays generally.

I did not have high expectations beforehand but they absolutely killed it last night in a'dam. I have seen trevor dunn play before, but never before did I see him excel and shine as he did last night. I had mostly read about his bass chops, but last night I witnessed it first hand. in my opinion he made every song 10x more interesting. simply loved the ambiance of the songs. no chatter in between, eerie vibes, slow pace: dark and heavy as fuck. highlights were roman bird dog (especially the final bit, with trevor adding vocals), boris and revolve (again, sick bass line during the verse).
