Two posts in one night! Cheers!
I wanted to thank the folks that responded to my email invitation to come check out the blog! Got quite a few hits and several email replies... seriously, thank you, it means a lot. I've sent out those emails a few times, over the last 15 years I have been blogging. Always get a good show of support...beating even the bots, from Hong Kong or wherever the VPN is set to, that have been bombarding RdM with "views" lately...hahah. Cheers to you too if you got here because the link was shared with you some way, shape or form. Even if none of y'all come back, I do want to you to know that music and art, in general, are your friends. There is so much out there waiting to speak to you in some way. Even if 99.99% of it that you experience, you don't like or even repulses you, there is still a chance that something will touch your soul. It may too, just be all about timing, or perhaps, the more you experience, the more you learn to appreciate. I don't know...or as my friend Ken (RIP) used to say when he didn't want to answer a question, "I won't be here tomorrow"
From my pal Sean's Selfish Few YT channel. Great way to start off a post on a music (+) blog is to hit you with some unreleased Extreme Noise Terror!
Ade, an old pen pal of mine from England...North Yorks if I remember correctly...'84 or '85
I've posted this Satanic Malfunctions video before, but it's just too good and features Ade on drums in 1990. I had lost touch with him by this time as I was caught up in the wilds of Humboldt County living and playing in my own bands.
A recently sent,198? postcard from my pal Jess...called "Life's A Beach" photo: David Noble...hahah! What kills me is my cousin has a truck very much like that, here in NoWhere Kansas and sez "you don't mess up yer front end when you hit a deer, ya just drive on over 'em!"
Uploaded this several years ago...pretty vulgar stuff, but damn they play some mean fucking 1985 hardcore (or would they call it early fastcore...I don't know, proto-powerviolence...hahah). I sent this 7" to Ade when it came out.
Romelia Tejera (RIP), my Godmother, circa 1976 Los Angeles, @ her apartment on Melrose off of Normandie (you could throw a rock at the Anti Club, for those of you in the know)...the kindest person I have ever known (period). Lo siento Melia!
Beta male anthem of the early 80s and this acoustic version, recorded much later, is the bomb! Sleep well amigos...
