Summer Solstice

Longest day of the year so have a chill ass time. Drink some cold beer and BBQ.

Not amazing but it is only $35, and it does give me a reason to go to LA for the long weekend. Added perk is the festivals new location in the middle of downtown LA!

biggest disappointment of the year!

The Black Lips have and i guess still are one of my favorite bands, but this new album.... lacks everything that previous albums had. Every song sound the same and the production value something that I'm not used to. Its to clean. I'm just disappointed.......

On Vacation.

Back to normal soon.

Check out this Movie: Heavy Metal Parking Lot

The best 17 minute movie ever. Period. The documentary is a slice of America at its best. Recorded with a video camera gives us a taste of what parking lots where like at heavy metal shows. The film makers walk around the parking lot interviewing Priest fans and really getting intimate and having real intellectual conversations about drinking, smoking dope, and jumping Rob Halford's bones.

My favorite clips from the movie.

The Wolf Inside

Joy Division and Unknown Pleasures

Sitting at home tonight talking about music with the roommates and Joy Division and Ian Curtis came up. Joy Division in our opinion is darker then any black metal or goth band around. If you listen to Unknown Pleasures Ian's voice is so dark and haunting. This album is the best to listen to after a bad day, or when someone has just broken your heart and you want to sit in your room and sulk about how shitty the world is and how everyone and everything always fuck you over.

Band t-shirts

Awesome Iron Maiden concert shirt from 82! The shirt is from Maiden's The Beast on the Road tour in support of their The Number of the Beast album. This is such a great tour shirt because it is so specific to two cities and the graphic on the front of the shirt of Eddie leaning on the Empire State Building with King Kong in his palm is classic! The colors on the shirt are so vibrant and they make a great contrast with the white shirt. If $700 ever fall into your hands, get your hand on one of these shirts!

Metal Sunday

Mayhem covering Venom. Cant get anymore Metal.

Check out this movie: Until the Light Takes Us

I had been looking for this movie ever since I first heard of it.  The whole Norwegian Black Metal thing has been something that has been very interesting to me in the past year or two.  Norwegian Black Metal is something much deeper then the upside down crosses and corpse paint and in this movie you get a sense of that.  It is defiantly a movie to watch if you are interested in Metal, and Death Metal, or you are just trying to understand the whole thing.

San Francisco Popfest 2011 Preview by sfpopfest

San Francisco

Guessing she got the wrong directions to Folsom Street Fair. 

Check this band out: The Flamin' Groovies

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Why isn't this band up there with the big boys of early power-pop? The good stuff like The Nerves, The Easybeats, and the Small Faces.  The Flamin' Groovies formed in 1965 in San Francisco and from the get go had luck going against them.  When the popular band in the city where playing flower power--hippie shit the Groovies where playing tunes influenced by British invasion leaving them out of the scene and making it hard for them to kick into the main stream.  The Flamin' Groovies would go on to release four albums starting off with Supersnazz (1969), followed by Flamingo (1970). There third album Teenage head (1971) is listed in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. The Groovies would release what in my opinion is their masterpiece Shake Some Action (1976).  This album shows them at there best setting off an onslaught of power-pop songs. I haven't listened to a album with as many consistently awesome songs! My personal favorites are the title track "Shake Some Action" and "Yes It's True", but all 14 tracks are boss. CHECK THIS BAND OUT! Its good for you!

Cool Guy Party prt. 1

Cool show this friday at the Five Points Arthouse!  First Spirit Animal show in SF in a while you should come out its going to be fun three sick bands!

Band t-shirts

This is Slayers promotional t-shirt for the single "Mandatory Suicide" often referred to as the "hanging boy shirt".  The shirt caused controversy in 88' that caused the band to have to pull it and to stop selling it at shows making the "hanging boy shirt" one of the most expensive and sought after t-shirts out there.   The front of the shirt shows a boy hanging in his room with a Sayer South of Heaven poster on his wall.  Pretty fucking graphic, but also pretty fucking metal! The back of the shirt has a letter from a military academy addressed to what I'm guessing is the hanging boys parents stating that there is nothing allowed in the academy including records,radio, etc.  My favorite part is where it says he needs a haircut.  If anyone would be kind enough to buy me this shirt for $500 it would be awesome!

FUCKIN' SLAYER!!!
