Ah, Echo & the Bunnymen are on the radio. God do I love them!
Saw a sneak preview of The Island last night. Thank God it was free, otherwise I'd be a bit peeved. For free (or rental) it wasn't too bad...a no-brainer, summer popcorn flick with blow-d up shit and a laughable plot.
Some time this weekend I will see The Devil's Rejects! I've been waiting for this movie for a long, long time and it's been getting some hot reviews, even from circles that I didn't think would get into the movie.
Bands worth listening to: Pelican and Made out of Babies.
Shows that are coming up: Saturday, believe it or not, is a show with Teengenerate! TEEN FUCKING GENERATE! I caught these guys years ago with The MonoMen and it's amazing how much they rocked. Only the Japanese can do it right.
Next weekend is MC5 -- hopefully they'll put on the same level of show that I'm hoping for, but it's hard to say since most of 'em went on to do shitty bands or just faded away. Wayne Kramer blew his wad with B.A.L.L. and the solo stuff was blah.
illstabyou dropped me a tidbit of info about Rollins hooking up with the rest of the guys who comprise Bad Brains. Anyone who knows me knows that the Brains were and still are one of my all-time favorites...a band that's never had an imitator 'cause nobody else could do it like them! However....Rollins taking the place of HR? I just can't see it...

I saw Bad Brains in 1999 and it was one of the worst shows I've ever seen. It was sad to watch. HR was very out of it. Probably on some heavy duty drugs out of it.
He stopped the show at sevral times to yell some very homophobic comments at some guy in the audience. Whenever this would happen the band just kept playing as if nothing out of the ordinary was going on. They went through all their songs with about as much emotion as someone writing an email.
After seeing it first hand, and that sort of thing probably happened on a nightly basis, I can kind of see why they might not want to have anything to do with HR anymore.
But yeah, Rollins replacing HR ... WTF?!
Maybe you could make it down for my birthday...???
