What a great actor and funny, neat artist he was.
Paris Texas will always be one of my absolute favorite movies. He was so great in that and every other role of his I've watched.

But especially Paris Texas. My single mom took me and my sisters to go see that in the theater when we were way too young to go really and in the middle part I remember wishing he was my long lost dad finally coming around.

FYI!!!

3 Hits from Hell

Jacket variations:
Jacket A : red, lots of space between bottom left corner of Glenn and Jerry's eyes and black, shiny black inks, black border partitioning red and black front, most copies with white space between the red and black of the upper eyeball on back; insert
Jacket B : rose/orange-reds, less space between photos and black, no partition border, thick red outline of reverse eyeball
Jacket C : blood/crimson reds, no space between photos and black, polaroid whites visible on left side of photos, no bright red border on reverse eyeball; appears on 1983 test print with Halloween and 2nd press of Evilive (reverse has 1983 calendar).
Jacket C2: same as above but in black and white

Vinyl variations:
Vinyl 1: grey labels, most with Jacket A (insert), some with B (no insert)
Vinyl 2: red labels, opaque (often confused with translucent), only with Jacket B
Vinyl 3: small hole (this), appears with all 3 jacket variations, but most commonly Jacket C (1983). possibly pressed to fill up jackets?
Vinyl 4: red labels, large hole, translucent vinyl, r-matrix, only with Jacket C 
Vinyl 5: white vinyl identical to 4, only with Jacket C2
[4 and 5 have a pressing flaw that makes side A very noisy]

Non-Music Shit / Re: Eating handfuls of kale...

« on: February 22, 2017, 09:12:16 AM »

Yeah! I just buy a bag or box of whatever greens look good at the store (pre-washed spinach, kale, arugula, mixes, etc) and eat it by the handful. No dressing required.

If we were running wild after the big meteor hits or before society happened I have a feeling I'd be eating a lot more of this when I missed with whatever meat strategy I was working on. So it feels pretty natural to eat like a rabbit.

Eat some at the end of the day! Good for recovery (of whatever you need to recover from - working out, drinking too much, eating too much shitty food, getting old in general).

Where does a clear flexi with a picture glued to the bottom fall on the spectrum? Poor mans pic disc?

Because I think I have some ultra rare Elvis musical greeting cards somewhere that may be rarest RECORDS in all the world.

It's impossible to write the word v-i-n-y-l-s on this site

Flexis are permissible because they're beyond stupid. 

THIS PUNK WILL SELF-DESTRUCT ONCE BREATHED ON

Yes I feel like I'm fucking them up if I play them even once! And yet they arrive mint from Japan from years or decades ago (at least that's what I'm told).

It seems like the few picture discs I do own seem to attract bits of garbage somehow. There's always some grit or piece of dirt in or on the thick PVC sleeve? They are the record equivalent of year round Christmas lights decorating an apartment.

I have some rare punk flexis and just pretend like they're rare 7" records and leave it at that. Look out for the dreaded 8" flexi though!

I guess I should qualify the above - there's nothing wrong with hoping for a good review and liking your own band. I guess I just mean as a consumer a magazine that only has positive reviews is absolutely worthless. How are you supposed to know what's really any good?

^^Yes and then I can't remember the band but I don't think it was Bovver Wonderland, maybe The Authority? The reviewer was Mundo! One of the few who would hand out ridiculous and funny bad reviews with no hesitation.

He told me many a band would get fucking pissed off about it for real which is sooooo dumb. You could and should only hope for a honest or bad review if you're some half ass regurgitation (and let's face it, that's most bands) instead of the uncomfortable stroking off that many zines/mags hand out (or used to hand out, I have no idea what the fuck is going on now).

Music Shit / Re: Bad Review

A friend of mine used to do street punk reviews for MRR years ago and he wrote some great bad reviews that pissed some bands off hilariously.

When the shitty band I was in went down to LA for a mini tour he came along. We arrived on the first night to a cavernous lesbian bar with about 3 people in it + the skinhead band we were playing with. We all started talking and with my MRR reviewing friend standing right next to me and having never seen him they asked if anyone knew him cuz they were pissed and were going to kick his ass if they saw him. We all agreed! Fuck that guy! Especially my buddy who agreed he was the worst and he should have his fucking ass kicked if found.

Kind of related - the guitarist in our band was also in the spoof oi band Oil! and they played their first or second gig in Sacto with Pressure Point and some other street punk bands. People were just kind of figuring out that it was a goof and whether or not that was cool or not. Well the band I think was still in the concept phase and my buddy drove there thinking that everyone in the band was dressing up for the show in a military style. He had a cobbled together, ill fitting, and ridiculous thriftshop general's outfit complete with fake mustache, marching band jacket, shiny pointy military boots, and oversized general's hat.

He said he showed up to a parking lot full of partying skins with a few folks not too happy when he said he was in Oil! as he walked around trying to find his only 3 friends in Sacramento. I guess it got a little hot under the general's collar while a few dudes kind of wondered out loud what the deal was - was Oil! making fun of the skins and their scene? The other guys in the band had the good sense to show up looking normal and bailed on the costumes after scoping things out. Wish I could've been there to see my friends fast talking and walking!

Music Shit / Re: Junkshop Glam Homage from the 1990s?

« on: May 26, 2016, 09:43:04 AM »

I think the key is how calculated is the re-hash? For me bands like Shandy and Guida are like listening to the soundtrack of Grease. It's like a musical in joke with a wink. I can't stand that shit (sober at least ha ha).

On the other hand you can go see some band that sounds like everything else but it's apparent that that's the sound they gelled into whether they like it or not and then that's great because it's authentic.
