Quote:The last few times I`ve been in a record store they`re always playing Creed and Nickelback
Don’t you guys have a proper "Championship Vinyl" where you live?
Quote:And right you are. I think it’s about time someone started a movement with the sole purpose to save children(perhaps the general population) from all the detestingly bad music that they’re constantly being bombarded with by radio and television channelsI tried something like that once, I got chewed out by the very people on this board.
Neccos? Aren’t those those cardboard-y wafer things that come in waxed paper, usually at rest area’s?
Quote:I did`nt know Good Riddence was straight edge,I thought you said you know someone that got drunk with one of themThey are SXE, thats why the story makes me laugh. Yeah, I have a school friend named Gina who has a genuine (gutter) punk past. Hitchiking, Road Trips, Squatting, Drug Addiction, Shavedhead, coloured hair, yadda yadda. Anyway, she’s from Billuxi (sp?) Mississippi, and saw these guys play in Louisiana. Apparently before the show she went off with the guitarist and got pretty shitfaced. And yes, she made out with the guy, who was wearing a wedding ring! fucking crazy it is.
Quote:Malc-I think Gorilla Biscuits are straight edge so you can`t buy them beer so just spend extra on Good RiddenceSalami-Good Riddence is ostentatebly straight-edge as well, that’s WHY I’ll buy the beer for them fellas.
When I bought these three, I pointed out to the worker that I was suffering from the classic "old or new" struggle between the Pogues and Lightning Bolt. The worker (who looked and acted an awful lot like Dick from High Fidelity) winced at the difficulty of this decision, but then pointed out "I love that CD and DVD. . .everthing you’ve got here is really good though." Golly, a complement from a record store clerk.
-If you’re a singer, don’t ask the audience to stand up, dance, "go crazy," "go nuts," put their hands over their heads, or clap along. If the band is any good, they’ll do this on their own.
-If the audience is singing along, DON’T STOP, we paid to see you, not a bunch of assholes with poor pitch recognition skills.
-If you haven’t recorded anything, and don’t have a following, don’t sell merchandise at your show.
-The price of any CD at the show should be less than the number of songs on it (this is not a joke).
-If you are an opening act, don’t put a banner up.
-If you are a headlining act, don’t put a banner up.
-and if you are some goddam formerly-reppy mall punk bitch, don’t stand in the front at a punk show and look scandelous when somebody from the pit runs into you. Its a fucking punk show, there will be a pit of some sort you dillhole.
Aw geeze, do I have to post after myself.
East River Pipe-The Gasoline Age
Pogues-Rum Sodomy and Lash
Tom Waits-Franks Wild YearsAnd I put in an order for the Beat Happening Box set
It’s also a nice joke, because the singer’s name is Chris Clavin. Now he’s in a band called "The Devil is Electric."
Did I mention the set has a good cover of "Authority Song," which was written by another famous Bloomington resident? At $8 who can resist! I sound like a fucking commercial!
Soophie Nun Squad-The Devil, The Metal, the Big Booty Beats. See them live and you will be sold. Wow.
Operation Cliff Clavin- "When All’s Been Said" an "Almost Discography" "Bag Set" from a pretty good punk band. Highlights include "Kick My Ass" (a song about Skinheads), and "How Many Punks Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb"
and some new ‘Zines
Cometbus #48 "Back to the Land
and the Burn Collecter anthology.
Need some Waits in here. This is currently my fave.
TANGO TILL THEY’RE SORE
Well ya play that Tarantella
All the hounds they start to roar
And the boys all go to hell
Then the Cubans hit the floor
And they drive along the pipeline
They tango till they’re sore
They take apart their nightmares
And they leave them by the door
Chorus:
Let me fall out the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out jack or better
On a blanket by the stairs
I’ll tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past So send me off to bed forever more.
Make sure they play my theme song
I guess daisies will have to do
Just get me to New Orleans
And paint shadows on the pews
Turn the spit on that pig
Kick the drum and let me down
Put my clarinet beneath your bed
Till I get back in town.
Chorus
Just sure she’s all in calico
And the colour of a doll
Wave the flag on cadillac day
And a skillet on the wall
Cut me a switch or hold your breath
Till the sun goes down
Write my name on the hood
Send me off to another townIt’s Watt, he admitted to appearing in that damned Mall-punk video on the Talkbass site.
Sorry you gotta watch MTV for that though, you’d think THOSE bands would have their video’s up SOMEWHERE.
