Music Shit / Re: Shoegaze thread.

Just as Shoegaze did back in the day, this thread is making me feel rather sleepy and nonchalant...like a bad episode of SNUB TV (UK show that seemed to showcase bands such as Slow dive, curve, Chapterhouse, Pale Saints et al as well as other floppy fringed floor gay-sers)

'Enriching lives' courtesy of designing Hallmark greeting cards! Right now it's Mother's Day, next week it's Christmas design time, right in the middle of summer!

I don't post a lot on TermBo so it's funny that one of my threads has made it on this list. I thought my offerings of sleeve art for records deal was/is in the true spirit of a TermBoer... so it was funny that things kicked off...and since joining this board I've managed to spawn two kids (a 3 and 1 year old) and I've settled down and now living in a semi in the burbs, awaiting delivery of a new garden shed!!! Oh yeah!!!

I miss Eric Lastname's ramblings, he's the only person who can write about doing yard work at his dad's place and make it sound exciting!

Canderson is credited for those NME photos, it's just not on the scan I did.

I know there was a 'Shoegazing' genre, so called cos all the bands gazed at their shoes while playing shit music, so that kinda made sense, so if you're a 'Shitgazer' do you stare at a pile of crap while playing?

I must admit when I saw the article I had to buy it! I was amazed they picked up on these groups!

Kevin, if you want me to mail this article to you, for your Pink Reason scrap book, PM me.

Music Shit / Pink Reason, Tyvek... in NME!

« on: January 30, 2008, 02:16:16 AM »

Just thought I'd let y'all know that there's a mini feature in this weeks NME on what they're terming 'CLOWNING ON BITCHES,' I swear I ain't making this up.

Bands included are Times New Viking, Pink Reason, Psychedelic Horseshit, TV Ghost and Tyvek and hey there's band pics too! Has some Term Bo'er given this genre the CLOWNING ON BITCHES moniker or what?!!!
I ain't read the article yet, but thought I'd give you the heads up on this, it's written by Vice's Ben Swank...

I've just ordered a brace of pheasant from the local butcher, gonna roast these birds covered in bacon and stuffed with sausage meat! The trimmings will consist of roasted parsnips and potatoes, carrots slowly cooked in white wine and butter and sprouts saut?d with walnuts. Tasty....

I didn't understand or like the Real Kids when I first heard 'em.  I thought they'd sound just like the Ramones.

The first thing I picked up by the Real Kids was the norton live at the rat LP, I thought that was killer, especially the opening cuts, then I got a the studio stuff on norton and was at first a little disappointed, sounded too weedy and produced, but hey-grew to love 'em!

Here's the full lyrics to Good Times...it's even more fantastic than I first thought, haven't heard it in ages. There is a guitar solo in the middle, preceded by the singer saying 'axe it Ray' It's got to be the work of a total genius!

Well I work all day from nine to five
Just grabbing enough to barely stay alive
Five 'o clock comes I crawl back in my crummy hole
I'm eating Wheat Cheapies from a cracked plastic bowl

Good Times ha ha ha ha...

Well I watch TV - till it goes on the blink
I spend all night listening to water dripping in the sink
Rusty old stove leaking gas everywhere
I strike a match, it blasts my face - and burns off my hair

Good Times ha ha ha ha...

Friends all tell me how lucky I am
Cause they're using dadddy's money, driving daddy's car
But they can't tell me how bad things are for them

I love good booze but I drink cheap wine
I love tough chicks but, ha ha, look at mine
I've got one good suit but it's wearing mighty mighty thin
I go out for entertainment - I park behind the twin

Thing's started bad from the day of my birth
Why it looks like I'm destined to be a scum of the earth
I'm growing bald and I'm getting fat too
If you don't like it, here's something for you!

Good Times ha ha ha ha...

I really like that song too. I've always meant to do a cartoon of it like those Crumb illustrations of songs.

'Wheat Cheapies' is my favourite cereal name. Genius.

That song is ready for a Crumb style strip! Do it! An old girlfriend of mine used the term 'cartoon garage,' that song totally fits the bill. You can picture that loser....what I want to know is when he sings 'I go out for entertainment, I park behind the twin.' What's that a reference to??? In my head he's parked up near some kind of outdoor cinema, so hasn't paid to get in!? Help me out on this....

Somebody's Children (or is is Nobody's Children???) - Good Times!
The dude sounds so fed up with his crappy life, the tap constantly dripping, a gas leaking stove that eventually burns off his hair when he tries to light it with a match! Oh and he lives off wheat cheapies, whatever they are??!! My fave garage punker ever!
