Well he replaced Christian Bale in To The Wonder and that's the worst movie I have ever seen so....this should be pretty terrible.

Non-Music Shit / Re: CBGB's Movie Trailer
« on: August 09, 2013, 09:09:02 AM »
Since part of this is a Michael Shannon thread I also mention the first flick I saw him in, Revolutionary Road. The movie as a whole is mildly terrible, but Shannon is wicked in it. Blows the rest of those chumps out of the water. Makes it worth it alone.

« on: August 08, 2013, 09:51:46 AM »Michael Shannon as Kim fowley was the highlight of that flick
Truth. I think this is the best I've seen him in anything, undoubtedly.

Cities / Re: Things to do in L.A.

This place is the shit, had the duck last time. If you have the time hit the desert place across the street then head to the Last Bookstore on Spring downtown. Cheap records and books in a cool spot.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Writing workshops?
« on: June 27, 2013, 08:43:43 AM »
I write fiction and I've been to a few workshops though it's been a decade or so since the last. The only things that really helped me were Ray Bradbury's Zen in the Art of Writing and Dorothea Brande Becoming a Writer. I learned more reading those two texts then some dipshit who isn't a writer telling me about the craft ever taught me.

Music Shit / Re: Thrift Score
« on: June 26, 2013, 08:29:11 AM »My local Goodwill is great for books. They get frequent deliveries from some central warehouse which includes some very good donations, but the shoppers there are very unsophisticated, so things that would sell in an NYC thrift in less than an hour will sit for days and days.
One of the benefits of living amongst rubes.

Music Shit / Re: ASK A PUNK.........for a loan?
« on: June 19, 2013, 04:44:31 AM »MacKaye also owns the rights to everything he put out. And while Minor Threat and Fugazi aren't selling 10 million copies, they do sell steadily (Insert Steady Diet of Nothing joke here). ALso, aren't Minor Threat t-shirts fashion items now? Wasn't some dipshit like Chloe Sevenichy wearing one around. That would help the wallet. However, 25 million? Seems insane.
From what I understand Dischord and the bands never sold or produced any of those shirts. Any Minor Threat/Fugazi shirt you see is a bootleg. As I heard MacKaye put it, "Miles Davis never sold a t-shirt so why should I."

I don't doubt most of these, but there's no way Davey Havok is worth that much.

This isn't quite a thrift score, but at my apartment complex there's a share bench where people basically put anything they don't want anymore for others to take. Usually it's crap like seaweed chips, or an old blow dryer, or a telephone chord. This past weekend someone left a Sansui 5500 amp/receiver out there. Thing weighs about 50lbs and really cranks. Quadrophonic sound and all the bells and whistles are good to go. Looks like it gets a few hundred dollars on ebay.

Music Shit / Re: Replacements Reunite...kinda
« on: June 14, 2013, 05:46:39 AM »I would HOPE the Replacements reunion show would only be bad drunkin horrible cover songs for like an entire hour. Just like they used to do. That would be hilarious.
In a weird way isn't this exactly what it is.

Music Shit / Re: Wood glue and records
« on: May 29, 2013, 01:09:23 PM »
I'd go with Nate K and do it on a record you're willing to let go first. Myself, I've done this multiple times and each time it's worked out just fine.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

Music Shit / Re: how great were the good old days?
« on: May 29, 2013, 07:49:53 AM »
I've been reading this board for about a year and a half, and posting for a lot less and I love it. I hope it never goes anywhere. Everyone here seems cool and funny and mostly helpful. I will say that my tastes differ slightly from the overall tone of this board, but it's nice to go to a place where people don't care about the more popular or hipper aspects of music culture and instead just do their own thang.
I wasn't here in the beginning, but I will say nostalgia is a simulacrum that often fools people into the restorative powers of memory. You can't get anything back you can only recall how you felt and try to find that once again for the first time.
