Remember when the cops were cracking heads outside of the PE/SY show at the Aragon? I read somewhere that Chuck D had footage that was confiscated never to be returned. What a fucked-up night that was.



I was at that show. My friend Eric was on acid and we all flipped out when they played Eric ...

PDX is a good airport now that the years-long improvements project is mostly done.


I was happy to see it finally so finished this past Xmas season. I go through it twice a year and the detour was a huge drag. So was being so far down the gate that you had to go outside. Past that weird ...

I got lucky and found a job. Offer came in 3 weeks to the day after losing the last one. Started last week, a little over 6 weeks after losing it. Very similar position, more pay and PTO, and filled with ex employees of my last company including a guy hired when I was who got laid off when I did ...

Of course I was aware of Let's Dance when it came out, as I was about 10, but my gateway to Bowie was Ziggy Stardust. From there the rest of the early rock and glam, Space Oddity, MWSTW, Aladdin Sane, and Diamond Dogs. This was all while I was in college and right after. At some point we rented The ...

Hm... The writing isn't really bad but at the same time after finishing a chapter it feels like all the words were just taking up space....


Good critique. I read the first 4 or 5 of those in the mid 90's and had to give up, partly because the series wasn ...

Fuck yes, this band.


Agreed.

And you are right TFC transcended their genre, while The Sword and Castle Rat don't. What those bands do do for me and the connection I make is they celebrate the same ridiculousness with some really tasty riffs. But where they fail to transcend is with ...

Ways I would describe TFC sound like insults:

Sounds like the menu music in a gritty Sega Genesis beat em up.

Sounds like interstitial guitar show throw away jams.

Sounds like Johnny Demarco. They probably make faces like Johnny Demarco.

Sounds like Moistboyz demos.


I don't know how they ...

I love this band. When I first heard them in '97 or '98 I wanted to give up making heavy music completely. They did everything I wanted to do before I even knew that it was what I wanted to do and never would.

I befriended Tim Green at a Champs show at the Fireside in '99. A friend of mine from ...

I was laid off Thursday with 25-30 others in a company wide reduction in force. This will be the first time I have looked for a job in my new career in IT. I got into IT because there were supposedly jobs. I have already been in touch with many of you and some have given me great leads and taken my ...

FM Peripatric, who plays drums with me in Blacklighter, also plays drums with Nick in Upright Forms. As a result DK are borrowing our space this week to prep for these upcoming shows. They almost took my guitar cab with them but obtained a different one.

That's all I got, just this lame humble brag ...
