Fuck Hippies/Woodstock?

i have been saying it for a long time, but i feel that lately with the anniversary and that movie woodstock movie coming out i feel really sure about it. That is before i was just being a jerk!

i feel like woodstock was a huge example of how contradictory that "generation" was when thinking of the idiotic nature of the people attending, the rampant drug use, and the massive amount of garbage left on this giant field.

Reissue Madness

Is it just me or does it seem like everything has been getting reissued within the last couple of years? Im not against it, im just wondering if this is a way major labels are trying to make more money?

Memory Lane: Geisha Girls

I just started using my ipod again after a long long time and i started listening to Geisha Girls again. A perfect three piece from Costa Mesa CA. The singer sounds like he has a heavy infatuation with Robert Smith and at times their delivery may give people thoughts of Gang Of Four or Warsaw. They also did a cover of "Ceremony" that i have yet to hear. They were only around for a year or two, but in that time period i think they put out some really good stuff.

With a debut 12", 2 7"s, a full length album, a couple west coast tours, and short stint playing early Bad Brains material for HR solo, they called it quits. I don't really know why, but i ran into the drummer after Fuck Yeah Fest a couple of years back and he said that the singer became a Buddhist and moved far away, whether or not that is true i don't know.

Though their existence now is little, they left behind some good records worth listening too. I have both of their 7"s and their album. The 12" debut is most praised but i have yet to get it besides a couple songs here and there. The full length doesn't seem to go anywhere, not to say that it has nothing good on it, i feel they had nowhere else to go. That may also be the reason that they broke up?

Here is a little portion of their history that was never released. It is a live set on KUCI that i recorded a couple years ago and cut it up.

Feelings

Right now i wish all of my friends could take all their
beef and put it into a big meat grinder, then i would make a bunch
of burgers out of it to be consumed together then following consumption,
after our beef is gone, we would realize that we have some really amazing
people to be around.


i miss you rhys and dani, this blog has nothing to do with you but i miss you dudes, i just found this picture in my computer. i doubt you guys read this or know that i have a blog but whatever, i miss you guys.

You're an idiot

Pixies big ass box set

this isn't a review cause i don't have it. it costs $175 and if you are a super fan the special edition costs $500. in today's economic climate don't people think that people aren't going to pay that much for something like this? just thinking about this is frustrating to me, not to mention thinking about the yuppy jerks who are actually going to buy this.

in other news check out this new sonic youth video, i need to get this new album

Sleepers Master

You need a vacation, at least that's what you may think of when you listen to southern California's own Norse Horse. Norse Horse's debut, on yours truly, will consist of 8 songs that move your mind cautiously over streams of reverb to a sea of change and innocence that give you little choice but forget yourself for a little while. On the song Swamp Trotter Norse Horse does just that in a little over 7 minutes.

take some time, do it for yourself
