Young Ideas - Pet Song 31/12/2023

Early 2000’s. Young, dumb and full of melody. Wanting to be Ben Folds Five, listening to too much Pet Sounds. Song about my cat. Started out Carol King, turned out more Flaming Lips on Sesame Street. Turns out SS used this w/o permission. Hearing this makes me feel weird, but it’s kinda nice

Young Ideas - Pet Song Pet Song by Young Ideas. Great song, wanted to share. Heard on Radio Free Roscoe. I do not own this song.

1940 Ludwig & Ludwig Modern Bi-Tone snare drum. This guy would have had plastic (Bakelite) lug casings due to WW2 metal ration policy. Drum manufacturers were ordered to use no more than 10% metal in their products.. Swapped for tube lugs, this one sounds unbelievable!!

So glad took me off the shelf and dusted me off for these last Berta shows. Hardest working m**o, raddest musician and one of my most fav people on the planet. Also I want to thank for supplying my drums for this tour. I know, I know, not vintage, but their support for musicians across Canada is unreal! 🙏 🥁
