Wednesday, Jul 2, 2025 - Posted by Rich Miller * A California-based Mexican music band featuring a black Sousaphone and a crazy-great slapping bass player with 19 million views in two weeks. The menacing vibe is thorough and real. You gotta love it… Paris, France is my sky I watched that video about 15 times last night. Don’t miss it. Optional discussion topic: July 4th plans?

I’m certain that most people here would never be exposed to this music were it not for CapFax. This is yet another reason why I love this site. Thanks for sharing, Rich.

Fourth of July: Wrigley. Cards v. Cubs.

What Chito said; I’m enjoying music with which I was previously unfamiliar.
July 4 - I’m giving a tour at a FLW house. Might go to a neighborhood park later for the festivities, but that depends on how hot it is.

Music is great! I was also impressed by the slickly-maintained early 90s vintage Chevy SS and Ford SVT pickups.

Off the see the grandkids.

Appreciate the sensibly sized pick up truck.

Can never have too much Sousaphone. All the musicians in the band are quite good.

Plans: avoiding downtown and the street race; cutting up and freezing amazing peaches we got last weekend from the Georgia peach truck. The Tree-Ripe Fruit peach truck visits throughout the summer, with peaches and pecans; blueberries later in the summer. This is not a plug for a relative, just amazing flavor. Schedule is here: https://tree-ripe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/TreeRipeFruit-2025-Brochure.pdf

There should have been bagpipes accompanying the sousaohine….weekend will include waitin’ for the LaHoods to announce for GOV…and Big Bill BS.
Enjoy the 4th

===You making some new friends Rich? ===
You ask me that when you’re the one who knows the different gang signs?

Take a breath.

I watched it twice, and did not see any Kings gestures. Perhaps Go Rilla is loco?

Muy loco…there are no gang signs in this video…they are in Dude’s fantasy.

I’m excited about the forthcoming holiday, which is my favorite holiday!
My go to song every 4th is Mellancamp’s “Justice and Independence ‘85”. (That Scarecow album sounds great on vinyl, btw, on vinyl fellow audiophiles.)
Don’t understand, however, why I can’t buy bottle rockets, fire crackers, or Roman Candles here. Yet I can drive 15 minutes and buy mortars and cakes which are much more dangerous in my opinion. Weird
