Music Shit / Re: I happen to think the God Bullies were one of the best bands of the 90''s

« on: February 22, 2016, 03:24:08 PM »

Saw a lot of AmRep bands and still pull out a few records from time to time. Unfortunately, the production doesn't match the intensity of the live performance. I loved Cows, Surgery, Halo of Flies and Hammerhead but I also dug Chokebore, Love 666 and Supernova.

I saw a God Bullies/Steel Pole Bathtub show that was so good---I drove three hours the next night to see them again.

I thought The Color of Noise was lousy. It lacked a narrative and was repetitive. A decent editor may have fixed the problem.

Hillary Clinton will be an extension of Barack Obama in terms of truly backing a liberal agenda. This means lots of promises and little to show for it. Obama's support of unions turned out to be nothing but campaign talk. Clinton will continue to pretend to support unions but her big bank daddy dollars won't really allow her to do anything about the need to feed unions in this country. In addition, she won't do anything about bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. so we will continue to watch the middle class erode while unskilled/uneducated adults fill the fast food jobs that used to keep spending money in teenager's pockets.

Non-Music Shit / Re: what are you reading?

Reading The Martian because it was the best thing in the airport "bookstore." It's an easy/fun read but I'm not sure why so many people gushed about it.

Fucking crushed. As a kid growing up in a small redneck town, Bowie was the first to let me know that it was okay to be different.

A response from a rejected lowball offer:

"I am unsure why you bother offering a "make offer" option if you clearly don't wish to accept any, nor offer a counter offer. I am very interested in these but I guess you don't feel the same. This makes me very sad."

Music Shit / Re: Holy shit David Yow is fronting Flipper

« on: November 08, 2015, 12:43:51 PM »

anyone go to any of these shows?

went to the LA one and had a good time. seemed like yow didn't know the words / timing to some songs. yet yow ended up being yow towards the end; jumping in the crowd, etc.

either way i had a good time. it was better than expected.

I went to the Halloween show in Brooklyn and I was blown away. I didn't expect that. I was doubtful. I was skeptical. But it was a free show and free beer so I went. Holy shit. One of the best shows I've seen in a while.

I'm being threatened, by Discogs, that I'm going to lose my account for calling someone a cunt. It was well deserved and felt good the minute I typed it.
