Anyone else watch AdamtheWoo? That's all I know about guttermouth. 

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 bro

I was pretty excited to see these guys a couple weeks back, but it was a bit of a lackluster show.  Mark's drug connect was running late so we all had to stand around an extra half hour while the rest of the band fiddled about after sound check.

Frank Turner - Campfire Punk Rock

Archers of Loaf - Vitus Tinnitus

Black Flag - Jealous Again

Gonna catch Boston (or what's left of them) Saturday May 6th....really damn excited about it.  Boston is the first music I remember hearing as a child that I got excited about...they're the first band I was ever into.  Tom Scholz has been a hero of mine since I was a child...Really jazzed to finally see him play.  Without Brad and Sib it'll be lackluster I'm sure....still jazzed to see Tom play though.

I saw them about 10 years back at a state fair and it was a lot of fun.  Honestly, not missing much with Brad gone.  He couldn't hit any of the high notes anymore and didn't have much stamina, so they had a second lead singer on stage doing most of the work.  He was mostly just there so that they could say he was.

I was so excited when this was announced and now I'm just trying to convince myself it won't be as cool as it seems.  Hopefully they follow it up with a tour.

Seconding Zion National Park.  I took a 3 month road trip around the country about a year and a half ago and Zion was a huge highlight.

It always puts a bad taste in my mouth when the deceased get put on stuff like this. I know I would be annoyed if I died and people took my songs for their 7" series marketed at hipster girls. Good cause and all but jeez.

The Clash were also put together by a manager. Probably The Ramones too but I never cared enough to check.

It could be argued that Malcolm Mclaren (manager of the Sex Pistols) are why The Clash ever formed.  But it's not quite as seedy as Mclaren seeing New York Dolls and Television and then traveling back to England to recruite band members based on their look to form Sex Pistols.  There's a huge difference between Paul Simonon and Dee Dee Ramone as compared to Sid Vicious.

Totally beyond the point tho since we dropped 59 missiles on Syria today.

Cool, the lead singer of a boy band that put out 1 album 40 years ago has an opinion

They're totally not my sort of thing but if you dig that style and you can appreciate the music you do you. I mean people still think Burzum's music is cool even though Varg is a convicted murderer and a neo-nazi. Really only commented because I hadn't heard that band name in a long time. 

I think Varg has dropped the neo-nazi thing since leaving prison.  I might be wrong, just what I heard.

Picked up the first two Madonna albums at a record fair today on a whim, self-titled and Like A Virgin.  Felt a bit silly but the guy only wanted $3 each.

also got

Donny Hathaway - Donny Hathaway

Chemical People - Ten-Fold Hate

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Graham Nash - Songs For Beginners

Paid too much for the Hathaway but my wife has been a bit obsessed with him lately.  Other than that a bargain bin kind of day but met some chill people.

Read your first two sentences and gonna stop ya right there with a good ol' fashioned:

 

 

Not trying to be a dick. Collectivism is bullshit (ironic to say on a message board called Vinyl Collective, I know) in general. You're free to associate with whoever the hell you please, but making an arguemnt that I use 'labels' in a way you deem acceptable is a waste of your time, trust me.

Super fair.  Sorry if I came off a bit condescending.  I've been hanging with these socialists lately and they're hardcore about that kind of stuff.  They must have gotten into my head.

Hey, least you didn't tell me to "go fuck myself" or "fuck off" like most leftists do when they back out of an argument they can't win. Kudos

For the sake of moving the conversation forward, I'd like to say that calling the democrat party "leftist" seems a bit ingenuous.  I have a hard time believing much of the party is that far left.  I hate continuing to bring up the election because it's long dead, but Hillary was way centrist.  Same as Obama. It's been a very long time since we've had a hard leftist in the presidency.  FDR being the last one I can think of, and maybe Kennedy to a much lesser extent.

It may be semantics but I think it's important for ongoing debates.  Far left is communism and Castro, far right is libertarianism and the Tea Party.  The left has never had nearly as much power in this country as the right.

It does give one pause to wonder whether the person is truly happy, and how they can genuinely be a good person in real life if they engage in such behavior online. 

If they're someone who gets joy out of frustrating strangers on the internet, then they're probably doing okay.  I gotta believe KenM is just on cloud 9.

To me it just sounds like you like the drama.  Or you like being the "mature" one since you're older.  Or maybe she's really hot and gives it up easy.  Because if what you're saying is true, a rational person would have bailed a long while back. 

So I'm wary of your motives here, Gumbo.  Because most dudes in their late 20s/early 30s wouldn't string along an "immature" "bipolar" younger woman struggling through college.  That's kind of fucked up.

But, hey, maybe you're just blowing off steam.  Or maybe you're making it all up to boost that post count.

FYF has gotten nuts.  I went the year Sleep was headlining, now they're not even in the top 3 or 4 rows of bands at this years festival.  Definitely wish I was still in CA because this years lineup looks awesome, even beyond a Capn Jazz reunion

My condolences to Marvin

Thrift store digging has definitely got weird.  Occasionally I still get lucky, picked up a couple Grandmaster Flash singles last weekend.  But for the most part even when I find something remotely interesting, it's still something that I wouldn't even glance at at a record shop.

Asking for promotion sounds like a great way to start your channel promoting people

Fuck Logan was so good.  Holy shit

Just saw it.  5 minutes in and I was grinning like a little kid,  so awesome.  Such a great way to end the Jackman Wolverine arch.

Black Sabbath . They are Christian , right. 

I'm hoping he decides to do a decent tour again soon, it's been about 3 or 4 years since he's played anywhere near me

That's an interesting take.  But the issue isn't so much why the administration did it and more that it happened.  It's pretty clear it was revenge.  That's just not something Im okay with, regardless of the "side" the news organization is on.

I think it was wrong for news organizations to demonized Trump during the election - they were obviously doing it for ratings.  But it's doubling wrong for a president to deny access to press briefings based on how critical a news outlet is of an administration.  And it flies fully in the face of Trumps promise to unify the country.

IMO he has done little to nothing to calm the concerns of the majority of voters who cast their ballot to elect his opponent.  This is just another in a long line of stunts pulled in the last month to further politically polarize the people.

Wow.  I should start selling US currency on ebay.  Three $50 bills for $179.04 and 21 sold - http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-x-50-Dollar-Bills-Various-FRB-Districts-2004-2013-Circulated-/401206774896?hash=item5d69c98c70:g:adUAAOSwYIxX6uyE That would probably be a few bucks profit after seller and paypal fees.

Money laundering?
