Music Shit / Re: The "Why isn't this reissued on vinyl thread?" Part 2

« on: October 24, 2014, 01:33:22 PM »

The Amazing Charlatans CD comp needs to be put out on vinyl. Or some version of a complete collection of their stuff all in one place with good fucking liner notes. I'd buy that.



Far lesser shit has been reissued.

Apache Dropout are in the home stretch of their tour. They were super tight and totally on fire when they left the Bay Area. Highly recommended.

Yeah, this is legit.

I'd be curious to check out the vinyl version, even though I definitely don't need it.

Can you imagine finding out you were on the same flight at this person, coming back from West Africa?

Fuuuuuuuck.

That's fucking stupid.

Do they get a free shirt that says "I waited 8 hours for Doug to ram his weiner in my mouth"?

That would almost make it worth it.

Non-Music Shit / Hot Doug's

Hot Doug's is easily one of the best hot dogs I've ever had. But waiting 9 hours in line to eat there before it closes? That's fucking stupid.

Kilt By Death

That was a pretty good MP3 comp. I fully expected someone to edit it down and release an album or two. Should still be done.

If I remember correctly, these three oral histories don't focus exclusively on coming home, but part of the book (or part of the interviews) deal with men coming home from Vietnam:

Everything We Had -- Al Santoli
Bloods -- Wallace Terry
Nam -- Mark Baker

Can anybody shed light on this:

Mary Monday / Street Punks
http://www.ebay.com/itm/301214539089

There are 100 copies (or this person has 100 of them anyway). Two early Mary Monday songs back with two songs by the Street Punks.

They're throwing in copies of the recent HoZac Mary Monday reissue as well. $19 ppd in the US for both.

I was eating lunch today at a place where the World Cup was on. When I asked for the check (shortly after Holland scored their 4th goal), the guy at the counter just gave me another beer instead.

Isn't this subjective?  You might as well start a thread called 'Bands That Do/Don't Suck'.

Over thinking it.

Music Shit / Re: Gizmos

« on: June 04, 2014, 07:36:12 PM »

Really hope The Gizmos will play a Non-Burger Boogaloo show in July out in the bay.

San Francisco?

Different Gizmos (Dale Lawrence line-up) is playing the Boogaloo.

That said, Ted, you guys need to come to the Bay Area!!!

Back to multiple requests for the original Gizmos to play in San Francisco, we've been discussing it. My feeling is that we will! We'll also try to persuade some other cool friends from that neck of the woods to join us if they're available when it happens.

That'd be awesome. I was going to fly out for the shows (I'm from Indianapolis and lived in Bloomington for a while) but couldn't make it. I know lots of people out here would love to see you guys.
