on the soapbox for a minute.




Why is it that cool bands have to turn shitty? It's almost fucking manifest destiny for a band to march from being rad

to being total fucking ass-bag tools of medocrity. I will never forget when I first saw this band. They reawakened my sense of what music could be. It wasn't earth shattereing, it wasn't really ground-breaking. It was just good music. I still get goose bumps when i listen to "god called in sick today" on headphones when no one else is around.

does this make me a goober? yeah kinda, i still get goosebumps sometimes when i hear "gettin it" too. which is super lame, anyway...

So i go and see AFI in the summer of '99 because a girl that i liked really wanted to go, and since i liked her i went with her and a group of her friends. Well most of the shows i had been to before this and been fairly big rock shows not small venue punk shows, so i didn't really know what i was getting into but they were top fucking notch even though it was about a billion degrees in the pine st theater that night. and since i wasn't 21 yet i couldn't go to the bar and get a beer (it was summer of 99).

Them playing so well and with smiles on their face and the packed crowd loving it, it was awesome, and i have seen few shows better than that show. Queensryche last winter was really good but in a very different way.

Anyway AFI quickly became my favorite band, the only problem was i couldn't find any of thier cd's. i bought one at the show, but they were little known back then, and everyday music didn't have anything by them nor did music millenium, or any of the other used cd stores i used to haunt back in those days before broadband. So i started trying to find them everywhere with no luck, until i went into 2nd Avenue records where i found the music mecca i still go to nowadays, when i want a cd i go there to get it because they have fucking everything i want, a killer metal section and a killer rap section. they know who andre nickatina is and they know who sonata arctica and rhapsody are too. anyway they had all the afi cd's i could afford as well as 7" 's too which is cool.

So after i stocked up on AFI cd's and stickers and patches to deck my shit out with. about 8 months later i started to notice kids coming into the burgerville i worked at wearing afi shirts... funny i though, those kids must be the cool kids or something, then i started noticing more and more, and they released a new record that hardley had any emotion on it at all. then they signed to a major label. and today when i went to their website for no real reason other than i saw they had a new album out. their site is all MTV this and myspace that. WTF. This was my first firsthand experience with a band really letting me down. Not like megadeth who kinda faded away and are now slowly starting to come back, or anthrax who got a new singer who is good, but it's not he same. These guys just totally changed thier style got popular and cater to the fucking hot topic kids. yuck. it makes me sick. they were on the shortlist of things to get tatooed when i was thinking about getting one back then. Thanks for listening to my rant about bands changing and selling out.

ok so look at them in the first one. their first album was a riff on reservior dogs. kinda cool, the album was answer that and stay fashionable which is a quote from Spinal Tap which is rad. what ever. then you have the second picture which is from thier website. what a bunch of fucking bullshit, look at davey havoc (2nd) he looks like a fucking girl with all the makeup and manicured nails what a fucker.

Fearless (2004)

quick and the dead


This movie is pretty good. i remember it being enjoyable but it still holds up as being a fun entertaining western movie. Basicly there is a conest in this town where you have to quick draw your opponent and kill them and the last person standing gets alot of money.

warren ellis rules.


1. Desmond Dekker's dead. These are
the days where I really hope I'm
right and there's no afterlife;
otherwise, poor old Desmond is
being slapped around right now for
covering "You Can Get It If You
Really Want." Jimmy bloody Cliff.
Music for people who don't actually
like music. I need to dig out my
copy of "Israelites" when I get
home. Now that was the good stuff.

2. Outlines just kill a story for me,
because there's no blood in them.
Heavily plotty stuff just reads to
me like a Tom Clancy book -- all
event, no character or idea. Hell,
Clancy can't even follow up on his
own ideas. There's a bit in one of
the later Jack Ryan books -- and
you're damn right I read them all,
those things sold in the multimillions
and were acting on the heads of a
mass audience like no-one since
Stephen King -- where a general
says to Ryan, "we will give them
HYPERWAR." And I said, fuck yeah,
show me the HYPERWAR, you
funny-looking little man. No
fucking sign of it. No discussion, no
theory, no evidence aside from a
single UAV and some micromunitions.
If you promise me HYPERWAR, I want
to fucking learn about it. But that
might have slowed down the
relentless this-happens-then-that-
happens-then-this-other-thing-
happens. Prick. Bad writer. All
those books read like 1000-page
synopses. Which is, I suspect,
their charm. You have to keep
turning the page because there is
literally nothing else to do.

dirty harry


I have never seen this movie so i decided to get it from netflix, it's pretty cliched and boring by todays standards. i curious to see what the rest are like. having never watched this as a kid, i don't have the fond memories that might make this movie watchable.

ps i relize the pic is from the nintendo game, i thought it was funny

Will Smith - Lost and Found (2005)



When i heard that the fresh prince had put out another album i didn't really care, i went and dug up my copy of he's the dj i'm the rapper. But when i finished downloading it, i gave it a listen prepared to dismiss it quickly. But to my suprise i liked it quite a bit. (Does this make it good? fuck no. My favorite author is Robert B. Parker. see spenser if you don't know.) But i listened to it alot and waited until it was released on CD (yes i'm that cool that i dl music weeks before it comes out) and bought it because i wanted to support ol will (not that mr. mib needs it) I really liked the fact that he speaks his mind and sticks up for himself. not with whiney why are you picking on me lyrics or i'll kill you lyrics, but with confident i've been rapping for 25 years and ill rap circles around you. He has always been a witty rapper and that's why i liked him in the first place and this release seems to be going back to those roots. the song on "he's the dj im the rapper" about him being addicted to video games was hillarious and now topical with all the WoW stuff going on these days.

anyway over all this album is nice, and quite enjoyable. good job will.

they killed trojan today. It's an end to an era.

last saturday's party



i found a pic from the party last week that i'm almost in. you can see my team canada sweater in the corner. that's my room mate in the unsane sweatshirt and rivera with the suspenders. looking like he always does.

boondock Saints (1999)


There has been a lot of things said about this movie. Most of them have to do with Troy Duffy and his metoric rise and fall from fame. But all that falls along the wayside when you watch the movie. At least it should. The movie is a great indy but i don't think that had it been made with a big budget and star cast, it would have been so great. things get watered down when big studios and big budgets get involved. Every time i go to the theater i see a comercial for this movie because they are rereleaseing it on dvd and it's gonna be in the theater for one night. i bet asshole mr. duffy feels some kind of retrobution for that. whatever. have seen this movie many times but i don't think i actually watched it. because there is all sorts of shit i don't remember, which is cool i suppose. anyway i like this movie alot it's a half step above the average mob/ vigilante movie. most of it has to do with the writing, and raw feel of the movie, which comes with a low budget, which takes us back to my first point that I think that low budget and no distribution helped this movie.

French Connection (1971)


This movie is famous for it's car chase, but it's the slow burn story that makes this movie so watchable. The acting is good too. Roy Schieder and Gene Hackman are great. William freidkin has made some damn good movies mainly this and the exorcist, the gritty realism, acting and sweet car chase are what make this movie fun to watch 35 years later.
