also just saw that battle of wolf 359 and june paik are playing the poison lawn in knoxville. fuuuuuuuuuck yes!

Explain how Gatefold is superior to Chaos is me, but has less re-playability.

it's a better example of orchid as a band, but chaos is me has that raw youthful enthusiasm.

missing mouthing off's last show, because eh, their new stuff isn't that good, and i've never seen june paik

Just acquired: Navio Forge [as we quietly burn..], Husker Du [zen arcade], and Honeywell

Cool man.

why don't more of these bands come out west? and why do they always play around anaheim or pomona? is los angeles proper not skramz enough for them?

Been listening to the Promise Ring and Snowing a shitload lately.

at least you're somewhat nearby. it sucks being almost directly in between SF and LA

[QUOTE=NortherlyNanook;18082310]at least you're somewhat nearby. it sucks being almost directly in between SF and LA[/QUOTE]

representing central coast?

yeah, that must suck. aren't funeral diner from somewheres in that area?

nah, they're from the bay area

hardcore isn't really listened to by many on the central coast, so there aren't a large number of shows (though the whole converge/coalesce/gaza/etc group played in SLO as the only show between SF and LA, which was a little odd)

[QUOTE=RetiredAt21;18082184]Been listening to the Promise Ring and Snowing a poopload lately.[/QUOTE]

Hopefully Snowing will release some new **** soon.

they may or may not have played a new song last time i saw them

It should take that long to write and record quirky lyrics, badly sung vocals, and twiddly riffs.

Because I am writing this review, you can be sure that I have listened to Fight Fair’s debut full-length album California Kicks. Usually this is no problem and requires no acknowledgement, but I am genuinely embarrassed. Fight Fair has put my mortality into clear view. Now remember, I listen almost exclusively to terrible music; It’s my bread and butter because it makes me feel like less of a failure. And I consider myself one of those people who can find beauty in anything (except myself, of course). Yet I find nothing, not a single note, lyric or rhythm, worth praising on California Kicks. If this pop-puke album was a drowning child I would simply turn away and finish my crossword puzzle. Then I’d probably see a movie. And then, just maybe if there’s a lull in some conversation later, I’ll recount the story. Because even if this album-as-child died the most gruesome of deaths, we’d be better off. Wait: the album just began again and Alex Bigman’s obnoxiously altered whine has sent another chill down my spine. Fight Fair make the music hot blond girls listen to before serial killers wear their faces as loincloths.

While I may seem close-minded and completely uptight, and while that is also probably true, believe that this barrage of hate is solely based on musical output. This album is a void. “SexyFancyMoney” has a Ke$ha wannabe sharing vocal duties with Bigman on lines like, “I’ll give you the keys to my cars / Even pay off your credit cards / Just so you go steady with me.” And yeah, I understand that Bigman is being semi-facetious and silly and all, but do we need another weird offshoot of post-poverty Gabe Saporta? Certainly not; we don’t need that song’s terrible cheer section, the barbershop quartet intro of “Diner Date” (which is about post-modern art) or the chorus of “I’ve Got A Secret,” which reads as follows, “I’ve got a secret / I’ve got a crush on you.” No, we don’t need any of that.

god damnit stop bringing up fight fair

[QUOTE=xMalcolmXx;18087702]god damnit stop bringing up fight fair[/QUOTE]

Seriously, ugh they fukn suck soooooo bad.

Listening to Indian Summer atm.

I unfortunatelty walked past their set on Thursday, on my way to Every Time I Die's Set... I must say, the last 4 seconds of the Riverboat Gambler's set was more enjoyable.

yeah i too accidentally walked past them for a bit at warped.

howd u like it mappu

So ****ing good. They let us bring in an empty lemonade gallon, and we just kept refilling it with water at the concession stands, so we didn't have to pay four thousand dollars on water all day.

They didn't really search us, so we got in with a bowl and weed.

Going mostly for the metal bands = skipping a lot of garbage like Brokencyde and what not.

Four Year Strong acoustic set. Hell yeah.

And first time I ever saw Set Your Goals.

So yeah, awesome.

would go for da lols

I'd go to fight you in the pit.

bring it chubbeh
