Non-Music Shit / Re: If you could live anywhere in America in 2016, where would it be?
« on: April 13, 2016, 10:34:59 AM »
The trick is to never go to a bar wherever you live. And to avoid hunting and go running/biking/hiking or simply relaxing in the outdoors. You never coulda convinced me of any of that a decade or two ago, though, so it's partly about the time in your life and what you're looking for. But your assessment of what you'd have to do every day because you weren't in a large metro is more than a little odd.

If I had to do it over again, I'd probably go bigger (like Chicago), because it's the same experience amplified. But that time's over for me.

I mean hip folk are even moving back to like Des Moines and Omaha....a lot of flyover country areas are trying to cater to young professional types with the usual bait....fancy coffee shops, breweries, shitty civic art

Rural areas like Appalachia and the like are probably the only free zones at this point....even some of the Deep South cities(Birmingham, AL....Jackson, MS) are being afflicted

Well, rural areas pretty much anywhere. Not much difference there between Appalacia, Ozarks, Upper Michigan, Black Hills, or West Texas. On the other hand, some places are almost painfully unhip. Nowhere's perfect, or at least nowhere remains so.

Some of those places don't have real metro areas...but Coeur d'Alene and Jackson Hole (most expensive real estate in the country) and other "boutique" small towns and cities are yuppified and bland as any "cool" metro neighborhood.

West Virginia, you're maybe onto something...red states (especially deep south) where they're more aversive to hipsters and the like. But then...you're living in WV.

Locally known as "Hotel Hell," it's the Maribel Caves Hotel. Lots of fucked up stories/history. Creepy unused ruins. A couple years ago most of it blew over in high winds up on the blufftop. His picture is based on pre-collapse. Almost looks creepier now. http://www.unexplainedresearch.com/files_spectrology/maribel_hotel_hell.html

Straight edgers are still a bummer. Played a show a few years back w/ my band & Bored Straight + 2 straight edge bands (1 from Olympia WA) who decided to elbow everyone drinking/smoking and slam people against the walls violently throughout the night. Probably didn't help that we were laughing every time they started proselytizing instead of playing. "I'm SERIOUS. Fuck you! I'll ALWAYS be straight edge!" How old are you? "19!"

HAHA that was the show I made a long rambling rant about sXe and drunks.  I think Tony has a recording of it.  Need to hear it again.  That band was so fucking annoying (the Oly band) and pretentious.

Yeah man, you handled that so well - you actually tried a "unity" speech that wasn't cloying or irritating at all, it was fun and true...but the sight of us with a drummer so drunk he was puking between songs and a singer who could barely walk and sang with a beer in his hand and us smoking weed up there and so on really offended them, as well as you guys I'm sure mistakenly being identified as SXE due to "straight" in your name. I seriously didn't realize it would be some sort of problem to anyone, including current straight-edgers, but I was wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU4VCaXAhhs

Yeah, he just started drawing for the first time like a month ago, too. Nice primitivist form. His mother (pictured with raccoon) is a painter.

Moved to Milwaukee because I liked certain elements, many of which were semi-unique to the city. Liked my neighborhood a lot when I moved in, but now it's just as hipster and brunch or whatever you want to label it as anywhere else in any other city that's big enough for that shit to fester. Rent has nearly doubled in 10 years. Moving out to the woods soon, can't wait. At this point, I'd rather live in solitude and make trips to various cities for "amenities" I can't get online or make myself than to live in a metro and hurridly burst out of it to solitude every chance I get. But I'm old, and you want different things at different times in your life. I couldn't wait to leave Door County as a kid and get to a city, whereas a good % of people in Chicago/Milwaukee/Minneapolis are working much of the year in order to escape to it and other places like it for a week every year.

As for regions, the Upper Midwest is home. Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. I've been all over the continent, and it just feels transient, as much as I love travelling about and will continue travelling about.

Trying out some new stuff I'd known about but never checked out...like Yma Sumac. Truly a unique delivery/voice as powerful instrument. Definitely have to be in the right mood/frame of mind.

Also spun the Prominent Disturbance LP on Down & Out a few times. Truly odd and enjoyable stuff. Amazing that anything from the Bay Area in the early 80s that went through Sonic Arts (Residents, etc.) could remain a complete and total mystery.

Been compiling WI country records, farm LPs & oddball 45s and so on, along with the dudes who do the Classic Country spins in Milwaukee. Bobby Hodge, Larry Lee Phillipson, Chuck & the Woodchucks, Bob Steele, Tiny Cochart, etc. Country records still generally go for pennies unless it's the big guns, which is dumb considering how much great oddball shit is out there on private pressings (especially), but there just isn't much of a "market" for it.

I just thought Minor Threat kicked ass, as in the band kicked ass, and I've always enjoyed outside perspectives. I've never understood why so many people need every "artist" they admire to be in lockstep with their ideals. Preaching to the choir is real. And real boring. Sucks for them that they launched a Goon Empire, but so did the Ramones etc.
