Never heard Static X but when I saw DMC (of RUN DMC) he brought that dude out for a few really terrible songs. RIP.

Gordon Solie Motherfuckers last show at Speak In Tongues. Defined how I view punk, punk shows, and stage presence.   Gang Starr is up there too.

Dark Blue - 2pm show at Rough Trade in Brooklyn-

Antagonist front person works when you're playing in an aggressive Scientists sounding punk band, but when you're fronting a band that sounds like the b-sides from "Out of Tim", you just seem like a prima donna.  I like the Dark Blue songs online, but as soon as my wife looked at me with a smirk and said "this sounds like REM" I just couldn't unhear it.  My takeaway:  being in an indie rock band and being an asshole to people that decided to come see your band play on a Sunday afternoon isn't cute or punk, it just means you're kind of a dick.

Why so hurt?  Did you just come from Brunch?  Is stage banter that is anything but praise for the audience considered being an asshole where you come from?  What REM records do you own and can you explain how you think the two bands sound anything alike?  "Out of Tim"? Is that is when stores are out of that shitty Replacements record?

Here's my take:  The bigger room provided the first time seeing Dark Blue where Sharkey's guitar tone wasn't actually painful.  Who knows, maybe folks not as deaf as me thought it was.  They were tight but the playing was a bit more relaxed than the Death By Audio set from last month.  No coats were worn on stage by any member of the band during this set.  Sharkey had a few comments about ebola, brunch, and white privilege where he singled out a guy in the audience.  Hard to see it as anything but reality based jokes of the lightest variety, but maybe you are more sensitive than I am.  The more I see them the more the songs get stuck in my head.  I appreciate their unwavering dedication to Mid-tempo songs. 
I also suggested some theatrical stage props for Sharkey.  He's such a fan of the kick while playing that I suggested he get a door frame with a door that he could kick open a few times every set. He wasn't opposed to it.

I like the single. I haven't seen them live, but the dude's stage banter has always generally made me chuckle (if occasionally wince), but I can't picture how this band could possibly sound like REM, at least based on what I've heard.

Yeah, REM? What the fuck.

Music Shit / Re: BLACK FLAG stupid reunion aka G.Ginn wants to rob me of my 2nd favourite band

« on: October 18, 2014, 07:11:11 AM »

This newfound knowledge only enhances my Black Flag listening experience. If I judged my favourite bands on whether or not I liked the people in the groups, then 95% of my collection would have to go in the trash.

I listen to Gary Glitter. It's hard to judge anyone.

At least Rollins was there, what is Elijah Woods defense?

You are kidding, right? If he's in this it because he lives in Austin and so does the filmmaker.

I'm saying that at least he was there for a period of the golden age of hardcore. I wouldn't be surprised if he saw the Dicks multiple times. No doubt he is overused for any underground music documentary, but here it may actually make sense.

I was actually talking about Elijah Woods. Henry Rollins makes way more sense than Froto.
