ho ho hooo

i didnt give you no avatar, you spelled my name wrong as usual. thank some other poor soul

Aloha isn't as bad as I thought they were going to be.

i like [I]That's Your Fire[/I]

Did you see that Daniel Johnston documentary? Well, you really ought. Anyway, remember that part where Dan-- a little bent, perhaps, but not yet quite broken-- drops a faceful of acid at a Butthole Surfers show and winds up convincing himself that the devil is trying to kill him or something? Even without the mind-probing psychedelics and cymbals on fire, seems like a strange environment to encourage children into, no? Especially with the wild-eyed weirdo up there as their guide?

Gibby Haynes-- de facto leader of the exponentially unfathomable, long running psych-punk-whatever amalgamators Butthole Surfers-- will join a cadre of kiddies from the Paul Green School of Rock for a series of six dates in February (one, on the 12th, has yet to be confirmed). And together they'll play Butthole Surfers material.

The Paul Green School-- featured in the documentary film Rock School and not the similarly titled Jack Black/Richard Linklater film School of Rock-- is a network of intensive music training programs for kids aged 8-18, and the school's "All Stars" often pay tribute to and even gig out with famed musicians many years their senior.

Forthcoming events include performances of the music of the Ramones, Devo, and AC/DC, but the Surfers thing still seems singularly amazing, if shockingly age-inappropriate. With GG Allin and Wendy O. Williams off to the great puke-soaked green room in the sky, what living figure could possibly be a stranger fit for the gig? Peaches?

must go to this, its coming near me soon

lmao, Gibby Haynes and little kids playin Butthole Surfers material

(just summarizing for ppl who dont wanna read your longass post)

It's going to rule. At a great venue too.

Ok so can anyone tell me what Brian Eno album Dover Beach is on? WMP says Another Green World, but RYM disagrees and Google says its on some box set.

After reading Our Band Could be Your Life, I'm surprised Gibby is still alive and functioning.

Why's that?

The way the band lived for about 10 years was absolutely insane. At least thats how the author depicts it..

It's probably on one of the Eno Box boxsets. I wouldn't know for certain, but definitely not on Another Green World unless its an alternate version of one of those songs or something.

Have you read the chapter on Fugazi yet? It really changed the way I thought about them.

i think fugazi fans generally know what the band is all about when they get into them. not that their ethos is necessarily a major selling point for people who are solely interested in the music, but its so unusual that you're bound to hear about it before you hear a note of their songs.

I'm considering cutting holes in all my boxers and shorts for ez access for urination/sexing.

im pretty big on fugazi but ive never heard about any unusual practices of the band. whats so unusual?

I read that chapter once when I bought the book 3 years ago. Probably time for a re-read because I don't remember what was so special about it.

nothing really seemed to stick out in [I]Instrument[/I]

seriously

[QUOTE=YDload;15643190]seriously[/QUOTE]

i can't tell if you're being snide

Oh, I had no idea they were that independent and all.

The shame of file sharing. . . you lose all that knowledge you'd otherwise have from an older brother or something.

still its not that unusual, they were just carrying on the traditions of most DC hardcore

[QUOTE=okay;15643278]still its not that unusual, they were just carrying on the traditions of most DC hardcore[/QUOTE]

oh no, they broke from DC hardcore in a big way. well MacKaye and Guy did when they invented emo, but Fugazi just widened the rift even further.

i thought the diy aspects of the band were similar to that of dc hardcore though

look fugazi did a lot of things differently, not just DIY. they only played all-ages shows with $5 tickets, would stop in the middle of a song if people started moshing, didnt give interviews in magazines they themselves wouldnt read, and were straight-edge vegetarians.

are you starting to get SOME idea of how this band is special?

I respect them for that, but that sort of thing has never been a deciding factor in me listening to a band. In fact I'd say my favorite music is mostly instrumental.


Discord is still way cool though; I ordered Rain's discography from them last week and it came in 2 days after I ordered it with a note that said -Thanks Dominick, Jason.


Whoever Jason may be.

On closer examination it looks like its "Bazua". The hell.

i finally found out where the Dischord House is in Arlington but by then i no longer lived there :(

i wanted to, i dunno just walk by it and wave, maybe shout give a thumbs-up to whoever might be there at the time

There is pretty much no band out there that is as successful as Fugazi with the same ethic

Fugazi pretty much disowned hardcore and its aspects in a lot of ways, I suppose they're still post-hardcore but every album they make sounds different and they've alienated/gained a lot of different fans over the years

The thing is that there are still DC hardcore bands and in the early '90's a lot of DC hardcore just moved into early emo territory in the wake of stuff Fugazi members had already done, hardcore moved in that direction while Fugazi clearly didn't

ok so i've got my feet in the air and my head on the ground

I'm going to check out the Dischord House :-D
