The punk rock work never ends
Since I’ve been back, the punk rock projects are starting to pile up. First and foremost, I have started work on the next Spontaneous Combustion Records release, which will be: SCR-005 Government Issue – 1981 first demo 7″ That’s right, never before released and recorded before their “Legless Bull” 7″. A slice of DC hardcore [...]
Catching up with the photos
As promised, here’s a few pix from the various shows I saw in the past week or so. The rest of the usuable images will end up on the Spontaneous Combustion site when I get a chance to update it. Youth Brigade 2/21/04 at The Troubador, Los Angeles, CA Youth Brigade 2/21/04 at The Troubador, [...]
CA food count
I damn near forgot. The tally of visits to my favorite eateries when I was in CA was: In and Out Burger: 3 Pink’s: 2 Del Taco: 2 Yum! I can’t wait to go back in April!
The cows have all gone home
I’m back from CA, came in late last nite and had to go right to bed so I could get up for work (at the new location). While I was in CA, I scored free tickets to a UPW wrestling event. It was pretty fun and Jimmy Superfly Snuka wrestled! So did the Outsiders, Ivory, [...]
In and Out, Amoeba, Sun?
I’m out in Los Angeles again. Work and pleasure both this time. So far it has been a good trip. Unfortunately, I’m a moron and forgot to pack the DAT recorder so my interview with Lisa of Frontier Records will have to wait until April. Plan on meeting up with Doug Moody and Billy Bones [...]
Double duty!
Tonite = a double dose of shows and everyone should attend! First: Since By Man at Fireside Bowl, 7pm. SBM are great and I have vowed to see them play every time they come to town. They just got a new guitar player so we’ll see how they sound now. I expect good things. Second: [...]
Some things change with the times!
Someone brought in a big bag of those candy hearts to work today for the people. I always loved eating these things. So I grab a handful and I look at the message on one of them and it says: IM ME Oh man how times have changed. IThey never had that on these when [...]
How about a show? It’s been a little while!
Tonite = Denali at Fireside Bowl. Dark Dave and I are going. Anyone else going??? I found out Youth Brigade is playing a show in Los Angeles while I’m there. Thor, Bob and I are going and I’m looking forward to it!
Tribal Convictions
An email conversation with Dark Dave brought up the subject of Voivod recently. This discussion reminded me that I really wanted to get their Dimension Hatross album on CD (I have only the vinyl) for easy transfer to the Ipod. Well, I oredered it and it arrived last nite. I brought it into work today [...]
I found an easter egg on my new dvd
I just got Escape From New York: Special Edition on DVD. Aside from a superclean transfer of the film, with newly enhanced 5.1 sound, there is a deleted scene and some other bonus materials. While looking thru the menus trying to find any hidden surprises, I found one. On the second disc in the main [...]
More Godzilla!
Last nite I stayed in and Pod came by to watch my second Godzilla movie with me. Godzilla vs. Megaguirus. This one came out only a couple years ago in Japan only. I opted again for English dubbing as reading a movie is just a major pain in the ass. The voice acting in this [...]
It would be cheaper to walk!
Could someone explain to me just why the price of gas went up 20 cents since Saturday when I last filled up the car?! Fuckers! Speaking of saturday, I failed to mention to the people that I saw Joan Jett play at the Paramout Theatre in Aurora. It was an expensvie, but good show. The [...]
DVD nite part 2
After popping a frozen pizza in the oven, it was time for the second movie in my double feature for the evening. Thrashin! This was a mid-eighties skateboard flick staring Josh Brolin (whoever he is). I remember watching this back when I was in high school and I was a skater. While the story was [...]
DVD nite
Last nite I watched two of the DVDs I bought when I got The Cure boxset I wrote about yesterday. It was a good, and expensive trip to the store, for not only did I buy these two DVDs, but I got one more Godzilla DVD that is waiting to be watched. Godzilla: Giant Monsters [...]
Join the dots
Today I got the new Cure boxset titled “Join the Dots”. It is a 4 cd set housed insdie a small book and compiles b-sides and rare/unreleased tracks spanning their entire career. Being a HUGE cure fan, I was pretty jazzed upon hearing about this coming out. The set is a nice collection but it [...]
