cheech

Yeah, I asked too. It's YOUR FAULT! You knew we would.

"Your My Best Friend" has been featured in the Simpsons and in a Yahoo! commercial recently. I'm always like "Hey ::tug on sleeve:: that's Queen! That's Queen!"

Given that they were only moderately popular in America and insane-o superstars everywhere else in the world (and pretty much musical gods in Britain) I'm always happy when they get some play over here.

John Deacon was a way overlooked member of Queen, but I guess he got as much notice as he cared to get. He never persued a solo career (beyond a single project with The Immortals) and never did interviews (less so than the rest of the band did, who tried to avoid interviews themselves) and what he's up to now, who knows. I heard he still does some spot work with the remaining members of Queen whenever they get together.

Yo loco,

I'm finishing up your compilation. I hope you dig it well. It's got Cheech all over it mang! Manic man! Manic!
^#%$@$@^$@!!!!!!

out...

Are you fucking kidding? I LOOOOVE Motorhead. And I believe the correct answer is D.

My guess is 'D'. Who's in your profile pic?

You got it about right, I'm afraid. Circa '81, Black Flag attracted a bunch of ignorant johnny-cum-lately weekend "punks" to their shows that just wanted to beat the shit outta each other in the mosh pit. Every other Flag show ended in a riot or police confrontation of some kind. They basically wrecked the L.A. scene that had been pioneered by great bands like X, The Bags, The Alleycats, etc.

All the fucking football player types loved Rollins 'cause he was like one of them...stoooopid and full of testosterone-fueled rage. They were basically considered a total poser band that could barely even play until Damaged came out. Damaged was sorta like GI (the first Germs album) when it came out. A total shock outta left field from a band that nobody really believed would translate to vinyl. Obviously, since Darby died, the Germs never followed up on GI. I would assert that Blag Flag never meaningfully followed up on Damaged either. I really don't think they ever recorded another decent album. I personally, find Rollins to be a joke. His "poetry" is hokey in the extreme and he has has no real musical talent.

D. Boon would have matured into a major artist if he had lived longer. The self-imposed strictures of the Minutemen's style (ultra-short songs, no production, etc.) prevented the full realization of D's songwriting vision. I believe that as he matured as an artist he would have grown more comfortable with a more "professional" approach and would have recorded his own "Nevermind" eventually. Plus, the Minutemen were supporters of the L.A. scene and were genuinely cool and unpretentious people. Just my opinion (of course, I'm always right ).

By the way, who's the picture of?

You are all over the fucking place. I like you. I always thought that Jeffrey Combs from the various HP Lovecraft movies and the FRIGHTENERS flick could do a badass avant-garde jazz show. Just a little taste of mania between the free jazz acid freak-outs.

1) Elliot Gould??? (it's been awhile)
2) Boba Fett cause he reminds me of Fistfull Of Dollars Clint Eastwood
3) Jordy 'cause as a youth I used to take women's hair stability unit and use it as his seeing device.
4) John Vernon's character because the deans always seem to lose despite their dedication to absurd visions of society and it amuses me.
5) ???

oh yeah I forgot...your damn profile has got me in full on ELECTRIC EELS MODE.

I'm SOO AGITATED.
I'm SOO CONVOLUTED CAUSE I'M SO AGITAtED

makin the hair on the back of my neck stikk up thinking about it. What a bunch of creeps, huh? I wish people kicked it out like that nowadays.

1) I am a radio station DJ Annnnd...I can't tell you...
2) Bender
3) 10^10^10^10^10 I LOVE SPORTS...
4) Dance...not too much trance...and a bit of rock.

I can never resist talking about myself. I wonder if that's more common than I think?

1. Classic Rock and New Rock the uses classic stylings (e.g., the Strokes)

2. Torpor!

3. 5/10. I've played, on a team at one point or another, football, tennis, swimming, and track & field. So far, swimming is my favorite.

4. Any number of CDs we carry in the car, ranging from Squirrel Nut Zippers, to Techno, to Punk, to Samba and Capoeira music

1. Silliest thing for sake of coolness?
I don't think I ever have done anything silly. People usually accept me as I am, fortunately.

2. Worst TV show ever?
I bet you're thinking F-Troop, but I liked F-Troop. Actually, I'm going to name a movie, and say "2001: A Space Travesty" with Leslie Nielson is the worst I've ever seen. Oh, and "She Spies", the TV show, is pretty shitty too.

3. Worst book ever read?
I've never finished a bad book, but I'd say this romance involving vampires that my ex made me read.

4. Hows the music collection arranged?
The bands/groups are arranged randomly, but their albums are all kept together. I notice I have a LOT of Queen.

5. How do your socio-politics relate to your parents'?
Totally dissimilar because they are barely the same.
Very similar because neither of us are actively political.

Oh yeah, and what are your answers?

[Edited on Jun 02, 2003]

1) I tattooed "Cheech Forever!" across my back in six-inch letters.
2) Um...Buffy (I know that will make me a target).
3) The Bible.
4) Alphabetical, baby. VERY organized.
5) Um...a little of both. I have NO idea why.

What about your answers?

Lesbians @^#^#$#%^$# RULE!

Fo' Shizzle.

I am sorta o.k. with my sexuality for the time being!

No, really it's all good. No, I'm serious. I sincerely mean it. Stop poking fun at me! I'll stop drinking now.

hey dude you can have 4900
and just by chance here it is

Now you get to be the guy who goes there and says (in nasally voice): "you have that one, so why don't you have this one?" I always loved that when I was working at whole foods.
Actually, I hated it when people would say "but the whole foods in (Dallas/LA/New Orleans/Boston/Hell) carries it, why don't you?" I always wanted to answer "yeah, but I bet they don't have lefse!"

hey i am half-slewed all the time

i've got metropolis on dvd...... never put that much thought into it though...... more like a late night get drunk and p[hase out movie to me...... groundbreaking, yet uniformly facist..... spooky.....

Beck is awesome.

I managed to catch the end of his performance in Glastonbury years ago. I missed most of him though as Aphex Twin (who was on a different stage from Beck...) was just too mad to stop watching half way through.

beck has more than 5 songs
