Beck / Bean split 7"

the-kiss.gifWish-ta-God I knew what movie this is from. Makes you wonder what the rest of the flick is like, although this could be as good as it gets, that's usually the kind of luck I have with movies. Haven't seen a good horror movie in a while, if I was a good blogger I would list some of the lame ones I've seen, in order to warn you off of them, but I don't remember any.  A while back we watched "Human Centipede", so part 2 is on my list, but the wife refuses to watch it after watching the first one. Been scarce here lately, still working on my Electro compilation CD that I'm releasing, I'll write something about that in the next post...

The latest email joke from my Gramps... They say that during sex you burn off as many calories as running 8 miles. Here’s my question, who the hell runs 8 miles in 45 seconds?

I'm a huge Walking Dead fan. In fact the show brought me back to reading comics and that, of course, is a good thing. Here's a pretty bitchen deleted scene that I ran across...

Beck-BeanGot a really good deal on this, Beck's first release, and it has a special spot in my collection. My band Garden Weasel played a show with locals Grimace and out-of-towners Muzza Chunka down in Garberville, and I don't remember meeting him, but Beck was there, must have been around 91 (the only time Garden Weasel ever played outside of Humboldt County). Grimace, Muzza Chunka and Beck were all on Bong Load Records. This is pretty typical early Beck, odd stuff...whacky is a good word.

Sacco and Vanzetti...

A friend of mine reminded me that today marks the 87th anniversary of the execution/murder of Nicola Sacco (April 22, 1891 – August 23, 1927) and Bartolomeo Vanzetti (June 11, 1888 – August 23, 1927). THIS is a decent enough read. Today we don't have quite the appalling working conditions of that time but we never the less have a huge disparity between the wealthy and the poor. Percentage wise much worse and burdened even more by inflation. I think that in today's climate there would be many cheering an execution such as that was, cheered by the very people who would benefit the most from some kind of reform. Most people don't know what's good for them. Below is a pretty interesting little thingy-ma-jig, not sure what to call it... http://prezi.com/embed/0acd0ku-slxj/?bgcolor=ffffff&lock_to_path=0&autoplay=0&autohide_ctrls=0&features=undefined&disabled_features=undefined&html5=1

Nobody tells the story better than Mr. Woody Guthrie...
