happy belated birthday!!!

Hey John. Yeah, I talked to Robin yesterday about AVID. She was still doing interviews I think. I'm going to be working
at EHS on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They went to the block schedule, so they're gonna have tutorials M-Th. Do you know
where you're going to work yet? Also, are you going to school this semester? I thought I saw you on Monday afternoon, but I wasn't sure, and I was going in the opposite direction.
There's some good shows coming up--3 in one week. The Red Elvises and Deke Dickerson on 9/22, the Slackers on 9/24, and Anti-Flag and the Epoxies on 9/25. I can't wait to see the epoxies again. Oh yeah, did you know the Street Dogs are coming with Flogging Molly on 10/13? Well, write me back when you get a chance.

I'm sorry, it's the eyes that do you in. Mr. Gosling is a very attractive man, mind you. I think it's pretty obvious with the shaved head you're channeling his The Believer days.
Thank you about my pics. Someday I hope for someone to say my hat photo captions are a great ode to the best B/cult movies.
I have heard of the name Bill Hicks, but I can't place any particular standup to him. I'm going to google right now.

hey, clearin out the backlog, here, welcome to SGCO
Let it be known that not every member of SG is a lame elitist indie-rocker or a predictable girl gushing over lame elitist indie rockers.
The Extreme Music for Extreme People community has set me up with some killer metal recommendations. Blasting Arsis - Celebration of Guilt all over the place right now. Because metal is so much more metal than indie rock.

proud to be part of that group. 
This guy at the Charlotte Observer put together a list of the 5 greatest rock songs of all time. It's really not nearly as bad a list as I anticipated. Points for including Little Richard. He also invites people to send in their own lists.
It's a harder effort than you think. I could have just as easily sent in my five favorites, but...

Well, it is your list, so it shall be. For me a better example of protest rock was "I'd love to change the world" by Ten Years After.... AFA Southern Rock goes, for me the defining band was the Allman Bros.....on a good night, Duane was god, ( and even on a bad night), and the whole band cohesed into an organic whole that just could not be matched...
rickroyal:
Agreed, choosing a particular song for the Beatles would be rather difficult. While it's not really a rock song, I'd be tempted to go with "Yesterday." Heavily covered, popular when it was released, innovative for its time, and its influence is fairly easy to trace. But you're right, it's very difficult to isolate a single song from their collection as illustrative of what they contributed to music.
While I understand not wanting to include Elvis simply for impact, I would say that he probably gets points for mass appeal as well. In those to categories (impact and mass appeal), he blows Little Richard away. On the other hand, Little Richard certainly has the edge in innovation and, for you, in aesthetic appeal. "Vision" is kinda murky for a criteria, so I can't say who I'd say has the edge there.
The odd thing about Floyd is that they really had very little impact on rock. In some ways, they're like the most evolved form of a dead evolutionary bent in rock music. No one really followed in the tradition of their sound (those that sound similar usually owe a greater debt to the prog rockers).
I suppose one of the reasons why I shy away from making lists is that I never feel as though I have enough information. Like, if I were to make a "top 5 Rock Songs" list, I'd have to first hear every rock song and evaluate each before I could compile a list, else my list might overlook something important. I might be able to cull together a list of "Best Folk Songs Referencing Franz Kafka 68-71," but maybe not.

It's an awesome portrait, but too big for the journal, so here it is linked for you.
I look all comic book n' shit.

Tearing it up at the bar with one of my oldest friends - sending the boy off to Cali for a job - I ripped everyone to shreds with "Ace of Spades." I think when you're pounded by "Black Velvet" and "Something to Talk About" and a shitload of Alanis, etc, a bit of Motrhead completely fucks with you.

"That WWAWKD? on your desk - does that mean 'What would Andrew WK do?'"
"Yeah."
"Okay. At first, I thought it was 'What would a white kid do?'"
"Yeah."

Thank you. I'm sure my little one will appreciate that knock knock joke... if he lets me get to the punchline.
quasievil01:
Yeah that's a good point. I tried to tell him the one about the Octopus and the Bagpipes today. I think he just laughed to make me feel good.
you're kinda right, it's a little amishish.
