- I listened to "Vaccination" from "Betty" like all day long on the 17th; Helmet is underrated
- There is no possible way anyone listens to my music more than I myself do it's kinda sad
- I gotta take that Goo Goo Dolls CD off my desk this shit is getting out of hand
- "Dreaming of a California Sun"/ "What I Meant To Say"
- FAITH NO MORE ; fugazi.; Funeral Oration.
- Culture Abuse kicks so much ass
- The unlisted 5th song on that Tim Schweiger CD is the best one I wish I knew its name
- Rest in peace Dave Brockie aka Oderus Urungus
- There's a band called Murietta thats not from Murrieta
- I wonder whatever happened to Syzslak I can't find like any information at all about them
- Yeren is fuckin heavy
- I'm fairly certain that the Doses, Tongues, Aberrance, and Caskets that I listened to are not the same bands who were playing at the shows I was looking up
- In case you haven't heard, the guy from Refused and T(i)NC has a new Cure-sounding band called INVSN and they kick ass
- It's kinda weird that the only Radio Birdman stuff I've ever heard is from the mid-2000s but it's good stuff. I gotta catch up.
- Those two songs that were hits for The Verve Pipe in 1996 are like their only memorable songs; it's easy to see why they so quickly vanished
- Why do so many bands have like one single song recorded and that's all that they have online? Why not just record at least a FEW songs? I don't get it.
- At first I was upset at The Dogs not being Dogs because Dogs are my boys but as it turns out The Dogs are actually pretty damn good. At least its not how it is with The Gravities. Ugh.
- White Night is just a tad too noisy for my tastes
- The strength of Alice Cooper's music is better than most people give them credit for because it was so drastically overpowered by his stage show ; Don't get me wrong tho it is fuckin cool to watch him get his head cut off and then come back to life but I feel like more people should pay more attention to the songs the band itself wrote -- they're fucking great.
- Bad Cop/Bad Cop's sound is so many miles away from what I had expected that I was a little taken aback; I expected like Nomeansno-style alterna-core for some reason; Not so much. Not bad tho. I was just way off with my expectations
- Goddamn Darsombra is DENSE ; FFO Sleep
- For anybody who's ever maybe seen Happy In Hemet (formerly Beanvian Stalks Guava) perform live but never heard them recorded, do yourself a favor and check out "Fappy Hour." I'ts really damn good.
- The cymbals on that Slow Children album are a tad too loud
- SUSTAINS
- "THE REAL THING"
LIVE PERFORMANCES:
3/8/14 - Merit/Divided Heaven/(end of the summer)/American Rifle/Joshua Bitter/Hail Adventurer @ The Dial
3/19/14 - (The Gravitys)/Southtowne Lanes/Flowers Taped To Pens/Olivias/Throne @ The Dial
3/22/14 - The Coltranes/Culture Abuse/Dead Waste/Man Bites Dog/Whip Hand @ The Dial
3/26/14 - Safe & Sound/Singled Out/Kid Armor/Higher Learning/Desperate Living @ The Dial
3/28/14 - Dharma/Conheartist/Waste Age @ The Dial
LIVE NOTES:
- That acoustic show with Merit was a really good way to start the month
- Our show on the 19th was the first time we had ever closed out a show, and especially regarding how much bigger Southtowne Lanes is than us we were nervous. Thanks to everybody who stuck around to hear our new songs though.
- Higher Learning is like the coolest goddamn band out right now
- I bought a Dharma shirt and when I put it on the image is all off-center like they messed up the screenprinting...why do touring bands just love giving me shirts with messed up designs that I don't realize until I've got back to my house and they're long gone...There seems to be a sinister pattern going on here.
MOVIES
3/1/14 - "Hall Pass"
3/29/14 - "Sorry" skate video ; "Suffer The Joy" skate video
3/30/14 - "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
MOVIE NOTES
- "Suffer The Joy" has a really badass soundtrack
- I identified with what I believe the purpose of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" very much, if I interpreted things correctly.
ZINES
"Concrete Discipline" Issue #1
Rest in peace Sam Asheton, Dave Brockie, and Ultimate Warrior. Thank you for all the inspiration. For real.
