The Kills 03

The Kills – “Keep On Your Mean Side” I just brought this album to Miss Chicky who looked over at me and said, “This music is made for us”. My first impressions: raw, simple, sexy, hard, soft, cool, original, and we’re only on track five.

This is definitely one of the best albums I’ve heard so far this year. It’s unusual to like every track on an album but this one passes that test. I especially like “Superstition” and “Fried My Little Brains”. The Kills at the Magic Stick in Detroit on April 29, 2003. I hope they show up in Atlanta.

My first impressions stand after listening to the CD a few more times. It only gets better each listen. Very sexy and very raw. This is music you can definately feel in your guts.

Sometimes things just come together…

Serve very hot; garnish with parsley.

November 28, 2003

Sometimes things just come together.. …they come together in your mind and soul in ways that are indescribable. Yet, I must try to convey the great things happening in my own mind and life as of now. My love, my life, my friends, my future…its a good thing.

My love, Miss Chicky exceeds every perfect thought I’ve ever had..every moment I’m with her. My life, wow, my life is good. Once upon a time my life was not so great…I wasn’t even sure how I was gonna wake up the next day…My life: always optimistic but I began to become a little bit pessimistic ….is now an underlying sense of pure happiness and new found optimisim. I am the most in love motherfucker you could possibly find on earth right now and I can’t get enough. What a great sense of being. I am finally my own person and totally feel love for that.. I’m completly connnected to the most awesome person I have ever known in my life and most likely will ever know. I’m soakin’ it up and lovin every second of it. Life is what you make it. Life is also how you take it. .I BELIEVE this is it as deep as it gets and it only gets deeper and I”m not afraid to go as deep as possilbe….this is what life is all about people…TRUE LOVE. TRUE ROMANCE.
Music: always an important part of my life has now taken on an automatic pureness that just flows with the times. It just keeps getting better, much like my relationship with Miss Chicky….it seems to exceed every imaginable thought i have.

Flipper “American Grafishy”

Richard Hell…I really like a good crunchy sentence.

October 25, 2003

I recieved “Flipper – American Grafishy” in the mail today…. after looking for an mp3 i used to have of -fucked up once again- by Flipper for about a month I finally decided it was time to buy this CD. I bought the entire CD only knowing and caring about the song –Fucked up once again– and even if the other songs had sucked I would still be happy with it. I should say though that the other songs on -American Grafishy- DON’T suck making this CD a great purchase for any Flipper fan or any fan of slow groovin’ punk rock. You can listen to a streaming copy of Fucked up once again here.

Flipper – “Fucked Up Once Again”

What good is law in the United States of America if five or six goddamn bimbos are going to rule against it? – Evel Knievel

Fucked up once again by Flipper

Lyrics:

Oh oh oh fucked up once again

No more rivers of blood
Taking over my dream of love
Feel a bit of poetry in my life
But it all could change in just one night

fucked up once again

Reoccuring nightmares disturb
Everyone who let’s them occur
The very same is true in life
So shed a little light to make it all right

Oh oh oh fucked up once again

Seems some lessons are not learned
Repeat the course or you’ll return
Back to the part that was left out
Pieces of the part thrown all about

fucked up once again

Looks messed up once more again
Can’t cover it up won’t pretend
Have to return to a new start
Pick another direction
Now comes the hard part

fucked up once again

Fucked up never again

Duane Peters has a movie about his bad self…

We can make weed disappear right before your eyes.

July 19, 2003

Duane Peters has a movie about his bad self…… Check out the trailer to the upcoming DVD release of “Who Cares…The Duane Peters Story” which is due out by the end of this summer. DUANE PETERS is a skateboarder with serious cred. He’s generally acknowledged as the guy who consumated the union of punk rock and skateboarding, taking it from a la-la cruise by nerdy longhairs whose music of choice was the Eagles into the full-blown tough guy hardcore punk scene it is today. Here is a cool tribute to his skateboarding ability here. Check out some way cool downloads of The Hunns here.

But skating is just part of the fun for Duane, his other avocation is punk rock; and he’s pretty good at that too. Duane is the leader of the infamous U.S. BOMBS, and since 2000 he has started fronting The HUNNS. The HUNNS sound is raw, chainsaw, based on a classic formula : two Les Pauls, drums and bass. Duane, of course, sounds like Duane, but that’s the main similarity with the Bombs : the HUNNS delivery is much more street American rock’n’roll. Now with the addition of ex-Nashville Pussy COREY PARKS on bass, The HUNNS have become one of the best punk band playing anywhere in the world today.

The U.S. Bombs re-release of “Put Strength in the Final Blow” which was originally released in 94′ as a vinyl only album, now on CD with all tracks remixed by Duane and now features 4 tracks from the double 7inch of which only 500 copies were originally pressed. The whole thing has been remastered and includes liner notes from Duane himself. Go here to read more and download Bubble Gum from the “Put Strength in the Final Blow” CD.

Henry Rollins and Black Flag @ The Masquerade in Atlanta 6/5/03

June 07, 2003

Rollins proves he still has “IT” Thursday 6/5 at the Masquerade Henry Rollins pulled off a feat no one ever thought he would do, and he did it with balls and sweat.

I’ve been a fan of Black Flag for a long time. My first purchase was “Who’s got the 10 1/2 inch?” on cassette. I played that tape over and over and over and still to this day listen to it. Black Flag was the prototype punk band for me. Pure energy, pure rage, pure punk. I never got the chance to see the band play live but the moons aligned just right for a reunion of sorts with the Rollins band going on tour to support the West Memphis Three and playing all Black Flag songs and also to support the CD “Rise Above” which is one of the best Cd’s to come out for a long time. It ranks in the top 5 CD’s of all time for me. Keith Morris made a guest appearance singing about 5 songs from the early days when he was the singer for Black Flag. He didn’t disappoint at all. Then out walks Henry like a lion that had been caged forever and suddenly released to a room full of raw meat. He attacked the stage, the audience, and the songs with a force that was beyond powerful. His famous stance before the song ripped into a the verses was menacing, his voice better than ever and his intensity just as intense as any one of his first gigs back in the day….from what I have read anyway…..

EVERY song was ON, EVERY nuance was HIT HARD, every stage diver met with a look like, “go ahead PUNK make my day”. The sweat poured off of Henry soaking anyone in the first 3 rows of the pit. I braved the very front row for about 10 songs. WOW. INFUCKINGTENSE. I still hurt from it but it hurt so good. So awesome. I can’t even get the words to flow right about this show it was so good. The Pistols are number one at what they do forever. Black Flag will forever be number one at what they do. In your face, gut wrenching punk that you feel deep inside. If anyone out there gets a chance to see this show…DO IT….you won’t be sorry. I see now why Henry named one of his first solo albums after he left Black Flag “HOT ANIMAL MACHINE”…he is EXACTLY that and more. And I guess Henry decided since he was doing this tour in the first place he may as well go all the way and do an encore(something he once made fun of)…so he came out and did “Damaged 1&2” that was the perfect last song.
