Holly Vincent grew up next to my mom in the early 1970s. My mom had a big crush on her older brother Nick Vincent, who was her first kiss and went on to play keyboards for that band with the "Aquariaus" song.
She didn't know it at the time, but my mom was surrounded by what were to become rock n roll legends. The teen girl who later became "Joan Jett" also went to Taft High School, as well as Cherie Currie. My mom knew them as the "Sunset Girls" because she was kinda awkward and didn't know how to know them.
Holly Vincent was like, the thug of the group. Mom knew her the best because like I said, they were next door neighbors, but she never really got involved.
Holly Vincent dated Joey Ramone for a short while and even made a cover of "I Got You Babe" with him. In my mind, that connects me to The Ramones by proxy.
She became a lesbian and is friends with the Indigo Girls.

Smorgascore
I started a new blog that's solely dedicated to listing stuff I listened to...Much like my playlists on this blog, but with links to the music and almost always listed right after I finish listening to the full release....
If you see anything that you have created and do not want listed on my blog or something let me know / Everything is from already-available sources like Bandcamp, Grooveshark, and YouTube.
Check it out if you are so inclined.

Samhain - "November Coming Fire"
MUSIC NOTES:
- "The Man With The Hat" EP is just on repeat over and over and over I cannot get enough of it; "Underneath this house...THIS HOUSE...This house where I was born...I'VE BEEN MINING FOR DAYS"
- I have a song called "Bluff" that I was really trying to grow and then I heard "Will You Listen?" by The Beat and completely lost all inspiration because my main riff is the same as the main riff in that song
- I think I listen to "MACHINA" more than any other Pumpkins album
- Learning Wretched Philiproy songs made Dustin haunt me more than ever
- God damn Power Trip is badass
- Worst of the month: Terminal A (sucky), Sashcloth & Ashes (sucky), Neighbors To The North (boring), Goodnight Ravenswood (boring), Rocky Business (lame), Spirit Animal (super lame - also not the metal band Spirit Animal its some bullshit dance-pop stuff), Twitching Tongues (just terrible), Pool Party (also super lame)
- Thank you KP for making my new eots EP; Crisis Arm says it sounds midi; what do they know
- Twitching Tongues fucking suck, I thought they were supposed to be a hardcore band or something but instead they are like Sevendust if Sevendust wasn't as dope as they are (hint: Sevendust sucks)
- I bet I would have a crush on every single one of The Coathangers if I saw them live
- I assumed that Coward was gonna be like a Japanese noise-core band but they turned out to be a French acoustic project...Needless to say I was a bit thrown off
- Similarly, I assumed that Waking The Cadaver was a toothless deathcore band but they are a brutal death metal band on par with Dying Fetus (who they are currently on tour with)
- I reviewed that Rexx album on this blog just scroll down
-"Are You Dead Yet?" isn't the best COB album by a long shot but its not an utter piece of shit like people made it seem at the time...Honestly I never understood the problem it sounds so similar, metal fans are such nitpickers
- "YOU GOTTA PUMP THE BRAKES! PUMP ON THE BRAKES!"
- The singer for Remembering Never has never ever been on key in his entire life
LIVE:
10/2/13 - The Coltranes/Crooked Bangs/Bad Antics @ The Dial

10/26/13 - Them Savages/Crisis Arm/The Coltranes/(The Gravitys)/Planet Vegeta/Liquid @ Anthony Lozano's house -- HAPPY FEST 2013
LIVE NOTES:
- The Beat was one of the best bands I have seen in a very long while and it was an honor to get to perform at the same show as them
- I'm really happy I was able to catch the end of Ethan's set at open mic night; him and I performed together at different open mics way back in the day, always back to back, every Wednesday for like a year...He had to move to Texas and that was one of his last local performances until he comes back. It's a shame nobody was really there
- Sam's solo bass project fucking rules
- I fell and hurt myself really bad during The Coltranes set at The Vault and then Ivan tried to screw them out of their rightful pay...Wasn't really the best night.
- HE WHOSE OX IS GORED: If A Perfect Circle were a bit darker, or if Opeth wasn't as dark, but with more keyboards. Fucking awesome.
- I don't know if that's the correct order of the performances at Happy Fest because as anyone who was there can attest, I was fucking smashed at that party. Shit was fun tho. I lost a Dr. Scholl's.
