Given all the shit going down in our town about rebuilding the Anglican Cathedral in the city square (court cases! hate mail! angst!) which i just do not understand, I am going to suggest replacing it with a statue like this. It's bitchin' You guys have angst? Why live a million miles from anywhere...

m Facebook is useful for something! This came up in my feed (from of all places Black Flag) and its just a really thoughtful and funny and philosophical piece. I've heard some interviews (podcast) with him and he is really funny too. The first Mastodon song I ever liked was their cover of "The ...

If I sit down and write a song on my guitar or piano or whatever and then take it to my band, unless they add some kind of a structural change like a bridge or a new chorus, etc. then I wrote the song. If you go to your band and say "I've got this song fragment could help me flesh it out?"...

If this were the 1950's and Andy Summers was a poor black undereducated sharecropper's son, I'd be sympathetic. But at this point, I'm kinda sick of this shit. And that goes for you too, Levon. And all the resta youse. If by 1970 (and especially if you graduated HS) you didn't know what was at stak...

Late bloomer here. Having said that, my grandfather was ahead of his time because when I was 9-11 or so he would visit my mother every Saturday afternoon and he would bring us kids sweets and comic books. This is when that sort of stuff was frowned on especially by teachers. I credit it with my love...

Oh dude, that sucks.

I finally figured out that it was in Canada. Toronto & it's suburbs. No one watches cricket except the diehards (or Indians). Not to get off topic, but the first international cricket match was between the US and Canada. But, that was 1844.[/quote] Wait, whut? Cricket is the big summer sport he...

Here is an interesting factoid I learned about Ray Davies recently. His surname is pronounced DAVIS not Davees.

Something to do with it being the way the Welsh pronounce it. Perhaps thats where his forbears are from?

Holy shitballs The Sandman is expensive.... thats like $270 south pacific pesos! m and apparently there is or is to be a TV series based on AMERICAN GODS. edit: here's why: its FREAKIN HUGE This massive, hardcover tome - over 1,000 pages - collects the first 37 issues of Neil Gaiman's groundbreaking...

Yeppers. I also see he has a novel out I haven't read. In fact I came online tonight to go buy it.

I have not read The Sandman. But will.

If liking The Clean makes me a hipster, guilty as charged.

Hell no... if the hipster had been invented in 1983, they would have been included in the song. I mean they were, but the name hadnt been invented. Plus, you know, The Clean represent!

SWMBO Straight White Muscle Boy Overlord? yeah. nah. That might not have made the American lexicon. In fact, come to think of it it definitely wouldnt. SWMBO = She Who Must Be Obeyed. Rumpole of the Bailey was this TV show from way back when. Very very british. But quite good as I recall. He was te...

indeed. I am on holiday and SWMBO is working. Today I got up at 10.30 after surfing the internet for a bit. Had some breakfast, went to the movies by myself and for lunch (at the movies) had beer and Twisties (insert your terribly bad for you snack-of -choice here). Saw THE WOLF OF WALL STREET. Ther...

Saw Gravity last night on my laptop. I'm sure it lost something on the little screen, but it was pretty gripping just the same. Plus it was free, which made it even better. One of the few movies enhanced by the big screen and 3D. Having said that the story is strong enough to carry it no matter the...

I didn't really read any reviews all the way through beforehand but the general consensus seemed to be that it wasn't that good. My experience was the complete opposite. We kind of have to attend being ...

Also an interesting discussion about the economics of the biz.

I am still full tilt into my cyclical Velvets addiction.

It will pass. Or at least fall into a lull state.... then something will trigger it again. I'll spare you the details.

Mono is where its at.

Or recorded in the venue toilet, with a $2 microphone and a cassette recorder while some inane person talks drivel next to you.

But listen. Just listen.

Can confirm: it is Christmas day here. We dont go in for it in a big way but we are going out for dinner.

Do what makes you happy, people!

This morning it was a heavy bag, and now a lot of water and some protein.

The Cooleyisms start right in early on "Shit Shots Count": "Trophy tail wives taking boner pill rides for the price of a happy meal ..." It's one big ol' pile of Cooleyisms, greasy guitar, and "Sticky Fingers" horns. Or as we say in my world, "perfection". si...

Very nice Clams! That boy is funky. Does he know that he can blame you if something fucks up? Of course he knows. That's why therapy is a growth industry (blaming parents, not just Clams, but maybe that's its own sub-specialty). well it does have its own special section on 3DD Fuck I wish this week...
