Crampy Halloween...
HAP-HAP-HAPPY HALLOWEEN y'all! What better way to celebrate than with some live Cramps and my favorite tune of theirs, Sunglasses After Dark. Get drunk and choke on your own vomit.
V/A - Making Blindness Fashionable (Humboldt Council Of The Blind Benefit CD)
Anyone know what band this is, they look like they rock...hahaha? Can't let a little pukin' stop the bangin', ya know.
Haven't read too much on the Occupy Movement, but I guess I'm down with the basic premise. This country and really the whole world is not served well by the super rich, the destruction of the middle class and the plight of the working poor. I'm trying to stay away from serious topics, but there is some humor. 1st, apparently the guys who are going out of their way feed these groups are frustrated by the freeloaders who could give a shit about the movement and are just looking for handouts. 2nd, DRUM CIRCLES. Now I'm down with drumming and the many forms it has taken throughout the history of mankind. But the social phenomenon of the modern day waspafarian drum circle is just classic. Having been around that sort of thing, most people can't handle it at all, but for me after a while it's silly and annoying (just my opinion of course). Where it gets interesting though is that you've got these drum circles going on at the occupy things and I know that the establishment must be annoyed as hell...and that is good.
Friday's are cool, but wishing that the other four days of the work week would fly by, is not. And then Saturday flying by only to be bummed all day Sunday because tomorrow is Monday. What a life...hahaha.
Always on the hunt for new, to me, music. Ran across The Nurse, an all lady outfit, out of '83 Japan, via Sean's Damaging Noise bleaorgha...give that first tune a listen and tell me that isn't some cool shit.
About four years ago, I reconnected with Lil' Jimmy Forbes after years of only being in touch with a few folks from my Humboldt days that still reside there. James has really come through around here a provide rips of a lot of Humboldt bands from days gone by. My impression is that he is a mover and shaker in the scene up there these days. This comp is an example of that moving and shaking, and is a slice of the 2008 punk, alternative, metal, etc. scene up there. As the titled says this was a benefit for the Humboldt Council of the Blind and with 22 bands there is something for everyone. This really is proof positive that Humboldt is a melting pot of creativity. I wasn't into all the bands but they're all good if that makes sense. The standouts for me where the Eureka Garbage Company, The Fire Demons, Machete, No Not Yet (Peggy M. on Vox?), Monster Women, Warren Teagarden, the Hitch and Henpecker. Enjoy...

Stargazers - 100 Foot Worm Makes Own Food 7"
Ever been asked to leave? Or better yet, made to leave? I had a lot of good times in bars, but it's like your IQ drops 30 point points the second you enter the door and who the fuck knows where it's at by the time you leave. The stench of hormones and liquor.
Trying to think positive instead of turning these posts into a bitch session about shit we are all aware of. One of the best hardcore acts EVER (SERIOUSLY) [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJDww6wsMNI&w=560&h=315]
This joke reminds me of a several of the guys I provide services to at work... I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the patients were out in the yard shouting, "13....13....13." The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks, so I looked through to see what was going on...
Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick! Then they all started shouting "14....14....14!"
Wanted to take a second to thank my buddies who have been commenting around here, you know who you are. I won't get into the begging and pleading for comments that I have fallen victim to before, but I will say it makes a difference. Just got a notice from the provider for my server space, which is not cheap, so I end up asking myself every year around this time, is it worth it. I really could save myself a lot of money and buy a $2 journal and start every entry with "Dear diary..."
Got this one way back when at a record store in San Diego....the used bin for $.50. Not sure I even listened to it and if I did, I must have not thought much of it. Pulled it out the other day, thinking to myself, "I don't remember listening to this" and then I thought to myself "I should play this, the cover looks really amateurish, but it might be good", so I put it on the turntable and thought to myself, "this really sounds like the Butthole Surfers and one of the song titles mentions Paul Leary, the guitarist of the Butthole Surfers." Not a whole lot of web presence on this thing, but you can pick up a copy for cheap. I stumbled across a site called Butthole Surfers Anal Obsession and this is what he had to say in his BS bootleg category...
"By far the most obscure of the bunch, info on this one has eluded me. It claims to be a Paul Leary pre-Butthole Surfers recording, but it's not...or at least part of it is not. The "White, Dumb, Ugly & Poor" is a live SBD recording...a version that has not surfaced at all, other than here. The rest are strange instrumentals, one (titled here as "Criminal Unicorn Men In Formation") seems to be from the same Thai cassette as "Kuntz". a very odd studio version of "No Rule" too. Rumors that this comes from an old mix tape of Paul's can't be verified, although only a few in the inner circles ever knew that Paul wanted to use this name before settling on Butthole Surfers. It's impossible to tell when these recordings are even from. The "No Rule" sounds to be from earlier than when they started playing it live, but that could be due to the poor sound quality. Either way, though, I'd call this the most interesting of the lot. Despite of the mediocre quality, and the odd non-Butthole Surfers material, I really enjoy this one."
So I guess you could call this Butthole Surfer related. The first track is worth a listen. The tune is worth your time, but the hit on this thing is "White Dumb Ugly Bored". At least give that one a spin..
