The Great Rock and Roll Swindle
So last nite 1 and 2 met me at my work and we took the L to Potbellys for the pre-show punk rock meal and then hopped on the L again and took it to the Aragon for the big show. They were not allowing anyone with chains or spikes on to wear them in, [...]
Punk rock history has come full circle
When I was in 7th grade I first discovered PUNK ROCK. The Sex Pistols and 999 were the first two punk bands I heard and I was instantly hooked on this new kind of music. It was everything I was looking for, and on top of that, it was as different from what everyone else [...]
Things are turning a different color
It’s been a rather uneventful week. Tuesday after work I went for a 23.5 mile bike ride. Last nite I didn’t do a whole lot and stayed in the Manor. Tonite will likely be much of the same. I may go for another ride though. Tomorrow however is THE SEX PISTOLS at the Aragon. Tickets [...]
Crown me, I am godlike
Last nite after work I went over to the Clown Ranch to gather up the assklowns and we went to the Tivoli to see Dr. Strangelove. I never saw it before and it was quite entertaining. Every so often the Tivoli has this movie appreciation club that meets up there and they show some old [...]
Make it stop!
I’m getting flooded by emails from that recent virus going around. You know, the one with the emails that say “your details” “that movie” etc. I must get like 50 of them a day. I use mailwasher to weed thru my mail before I ever pull it off my server onto my PC so I’m [...]
PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 3.34
1. When was the last time you helped out a friend in need? What was going on that made you want to help? I help out friends with various things regularly I think. Does someone you were recently “involved with” count? Cuz in that case then it is this week as I am loaning her [...]
Weekend Wrapup
Friday nite I didn’t do anything as no one was around to hang out despite my best efforts to find something to do. I was super bummed out from the events that transpired on monday and talking to the Queen of the Manor on messenger on friday was at the same time both nice and [...]
Friday Five
1. When was the last time you laughed? Must have been saturday nite sometime during the drunken antics at my little party for Thor. 2. Who was the last person you had an argument with? Someone very special, who is unfortunately gone. Let’s just call her Queen of the Manor. 3. Who was the last [...]
Pelican, Scissorfight, Harkonen, Sweet Cobra 8/19/03 Fireside Bowl
Sweet Cobra started and all I can say is HOLY SHIT. Put out a record – NOW! They were super heavy, totally fit in with the Hydrahead bands and dare I say were even better than some. Harkonen were up next. I have two singles of theirs that I liked but never got around to [...]
I’ve drank from the neck of gods most beautiful creation. I’ve stared in the darkness of her ever shutting doors
Yep, the whole deal still sucks. Couldn’t things have worked out to my favor just once?! I didn’t think that was so much to ask. This time she is not coming back 6 days later. Credit for the title goes to These Arms Are Snakes whose EP you should buy right this minute. Looks like [...]
The Return of Mr. Potato Head part 3
The third and final envelope arrived shortly after the previous one. This turned out to be the last envelope at least for now I guess. Maybe the mystery person will start sending them again, or identify themselves. This was postmarked June 17th 2003 from San Francisco, CA. Fin
Thanks
I stopped by little reckless after work yesterday to visit youngdave and record shop and he said he’d go to the show with me, so I didn’t have to go alone. Not only that, but Brooks showed up later after he got off of work. I was releived to have some friends with me, and [...]
Aw fuck – or what a fucking letdown
It looks like I’m flying solo tonite unless youngdave is able to attend when I swing by Reckless on the way to the show tonite (he works there) and can bully him into going. I can’t beleive NO ONE stepped up to the plate to come out with me to this show. Talk about a [...]
Sex Pistols
Here is a mildly amusing interview with Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols. I enjoyed his ripping of Avril Levigne especially. So far I haven’t had any takers for the show tonite, isn’t ANYONE gonna go with me?!
I mean for real – anyone?!
Someone go to this so I have someone to talk to. I can’t promise I’m gonna be in a good mood, but some company will do me some good. Not to mention then I wouldn’t have to break my rule of never drinking alone. TUE. AUG. 19 “HYDRA HEAD INDUSTRIES TOUR” PELICAN SCISSORFIGHT HARKONEN SWEET [...]
Fucking Curse
Combustion Manor has once again become the lonliest place on earth. I was afraid this day would come, I mean it did once before, so in theory this was bonus-time. I don’t want to go there anymore. I never thought my own house would bum me out and I’d not want to go there! On [...]
PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 3.33
Are you good at responding to emails and/or Blog comments? I’m pretty good at them, though I am sometimes behind in email from time to time. Does it make you crazy when people won’t reply to your emails even though you know good and well that they are reading them? Hell yeah it does, that [...]
Bitches
Life has once again taken a sour turn. I’m sick of the fucking roller coaster and I want off.
The Return of Mr. Potato Head part 2
The second envelope arrived a few days later. I opened it up and was shocked to see our carb-filled little friend was IN MY OWN CITY. In fact, I am quite certain that one of these pictures, he is standing outside of Pennys Noodles! That is a place I frequent! Who is sending these mysterious [...]
Anything jesus does, I can do better
This new album by The Locust is fucking great. They are perhaps one of the most crazy bands I’ve ever heard, and furthermore, I am pretty sure they are from outer space!
Friday 5
1. How much time do you spend online each day? All day long at work and some of the time that I am home. The time spent at home used to be a lot more untill the last 6 weeks or so, in which case I’ve been out all the time or have a visitor [...]
Yeah, that’s some customer service
I find myself home alone for a change tonite and it seems I’m doing all kinds of catching up on stuff to write about here. About two months ago (I am starting to see a pattern developing here), I wrote an email to snapple complaining about various things. If you want to read it, you [...]
The return of Mr. Potato Head
So if you remember awhile back, I was getting these mysterious envelopes in the mail with pictures of Mr. Potato Head posing at various locations. After a few of them, they stopped coming. Well, I am happy to report Mr. Potato Head has taken to the road again and the mystery person has sent me [...]
