captains dead

whats up motherfuckin (insert you city here)? they never said we would make it outta 1987 alive, but here we are man, 19 motherfuckin and 88!!!! they also said that we would never sell any records. look at us now! doesnt matter if its 1988, 1998 or 2006! we will keep on rocking your balls off and sellin out arenas! there aint no county fairs in our futures! hell no!

anyway, i loaded up the ipod this morning with some choice hits from my formidable early teen years. thats right, i rocked out to some la guns, cinderella, winger, iron maiden, megadeth, anthrax, danzig, etc. damn that shit brought me back to simpler times, simpler things like dry humping, stealing parents cigarettes, prank calling unsuspecting victims and making them believe they just won a thousand bucks by claiming their favorite radio station was whatever they said, etc. but, damn i didnt make it through one of those records. i came close to making it through danzig’s debut, thats still pretty decent and oddly enough cinderella’s long cold winter is not that bad. regardless, going back to that stuff every now again is good for my soul and might be good for yours too - that is if you believe in that kinda stuff.

danzig - twist of cain

megadeth - wake up dead

ratt - i want a woman

winger - seventeen

cinderella - coming home

cinderella - shake me

anthrax - im the man

in other news, if any wordpress user knows how to install the newly released bbpress, wordpress’ answer to a forum, and would like to help me out i would be greatly appreciative. i think i can do it but i dont want to mess shit up.

since moving to the atlanta area i have become quite a big falcons fan. now, they wont ever over take the bears but they are damn fun to watch, even though they are quite frustrating. todays game, at least offensively, should have solidified a new look falcons. the falcons will never go all they way, see super bowl, running the ball - no matter how great the ground game is. vick can throw the ball, i think thats apparent, but he has to start early to get himself and his receivers into a groove. once he gets going it will open up the ground game and should cause the opposing defense to question their selection of defensive sets. what the fuck am i talking about? i dont even know, and i know quite a bit about football.heres the remainder of the tweedy show. wanted to say thanks to the original taper.

i had, up until about a week or so ago, been wilco’d out. for a good 8 -9 years i had hung on their every move or sound as it were, but something changed with the release of a ghost is born. actually the record had nothing to do with my change in feeling toward wilco, it was my own actions that caused the momentary breakup.  i just filled my life with too much wilco. i downloaded and listened to too many shows, read too much, and cared maybe a little too much. so over the past year i have sparingly listened to anything wilco/tweedy related and i stopped reading every little blurb or 5 page spread i could get my hands on. the seperation defintely was a long time coming, cause now i think i appreciate them quite a bit more than when i was just kind of going through the wilco motions.

in other news, as you may or may not know matador is giving pavement’s oft kilter classic, wowee zowee the make over treatment.? sure thats cool and all, but as a bonus to?those of you who pre-order from your local participating?indie shop, matador is throwing in a download to a classic pavement recording, a mad magazine type poster and a rare pavement?7″.? now, if you dont have a local participating indie shop you can order through insound or i highly recommend ordering through criminal records here in atlanta.

hip hop’s answer to mr release-a-week, robert pollard, mf doom is a man that seems to always have his hand into something, he’s released something like 15 records in 7 years. not unlike uncle bobby the results often vary from glimpses of brilliance to what the fuck? luckily for both, the glmpses of brilliance far out weigh the questionable. his 2003 and rjd2 produced release vaudeville villain which was released under another one of his monikors victor vaughn, is a classic record no matter what the genre.

this here is a bootleg compilation entitled doomilation and has been oop for quite some time.

got an email from jen over at dbt central and the truckers and centro-matic are playing new years eve, and the night before, here in atlanta @ the variety. of course i will be in chicago and thus unable to attend. you can pick up tix to those two shows and shows leading up to new years, here.

two adams house cat tracks

lookout mountain

nine bullets

i didnt even know there was damn video for this…

chicago’s middle child, riviera and glorious noise are throwin a par-tay and I am sure it is going to be a grand affair - see the above poster for details or visit glono for more info.? riviera’s got a new record, capital, coming out, and this gathering is in honor of said release.? these ears have been blessed by the sounds of capital, which doesnt make me very special cause you can listen to it as well by clicking here.

revolution blues

the weathermen

your american past

also on the bill is an interesting bunch of dudes that go by the name of quasar wut wut.? their record taro sound is quite an interesting listen. its all over the damn place but doesnt sound a hot mess, which is hard to do.

the tramps of taro sound

ass kissin lips

anyone try out ie7 yet? holy shit it is bad.? not that i was expecting much but wow its even worse than i had expected.? speaking of browsers, am i the only one having massive issues with firefox lately?? so given the fact that is has been so unstable as of late i have resorted to opera, which i am finding very much to my liking.

it will be tomorrow until i post the remainder of the daniel lanois show.? my desktop pc has decided to take a nose dive right into the shitter.? so, i am going to let it “rest” for the remainder of the evening.
