Hot diggity dog! The noise collective is rolling full steam ahead. The delay-drenched sessions we recorded tonight sound like something I would actually buy in a store. For a non-musician like myself, that is an accomplishment. Everyone was spot on and the drone was immense. Any fan of Kraut-rock and heroin fuzz should check this shit out. We're called Karoli after the famous guitarist from...

Short and sweet run-through of some television show ideas.
TRANSSEXUAL NAVY SEALS
It's like V.I.P. except with a few danglers
FILM IN THE LAND OF FRUITCAKE
Reality show where WFPN gives cameras and shit to those populating insane asylums nationwide. We'll try and give the fuckers some regional flare. Or was that road flares? Whatever.

I'll call the herbster and try to stop by tonight.
I'm going to take away the first name for my record which was:
"Please destroy more buildings that have people with families in them"
Oh no, I'm not bowing to some imaginary standards and etiquette force. In fact, I will leave a song on the record entitled that. I need something more SINISTER and PERSONAL. The buildings thing seems a little vague although effective. Here...

Everybody needs somebody to hate, just ask Bush, he's exploiting that fact to the fullest right now.
Check out the new pics in the profile.
Called the Herbster, wasn't home.
Today is the birthday.
Down for a bit of the ol' ultraviolence sometime soon?

I dunno.... I mean, don't get me wrong, there are definitely people who come in the library who I hate, but I don't get pleasure from it. It sours me. I don't spend a lot of time writing about it in my Journal because I would really, really, really rather not. I would rather write about intelligent things, which are usually the product of someone else's mind, not mine.
btw, many of those people I hate? They, too, have no ID. We take ID to sign folks up for a computer. There is a large segment of the population who carry not a single piece of documentation (like even, say, a CVS or Safeway card) with their name on it... hence, we see the non-voting segment of the population (you need to show an ID at the polls, see).
Am I being too linear here? Sorry. My Random Generator is at the shop. Kudos.
...oh, one last thing? My personal mottos for creeps can be summed up from quotes I've seen 1) on an Emily Strange shirt of Jilly's 2) on a lapel button I saw Lemmy wearing once: 1) I WANT YOU to leave me alone, 2) Have a nice day somewhere else.

Who needs porn, food and booze with this great entertainment.......I can see why the Kurtz has introduced us...that much is clear.....we Walk the Line As for new entertainment I would like to see.........where to begin
First off, I would like these gutless hack writers to be put on notice....The number one show in my line up goes as follows: Taught noirsh story lines with razor sharp wit and class acted out with intensity......while the viewer only sees the actors from the waist down. Would have of this shit fly on TV if you cut out the craptastic dialouge and pretty faces.....doubtful. Second show would be something like this.....Henry Rollins host a new reality show. Take the most rat faced fucker you know from your hometown.....trick him into thinking he is either gonna win big money/or a hot date.......then send him him to punk rawk bootcamp.....and watch his fat ass die from the strain....or pop out into a productive member of society.....I could go on.....but I am not sure you have room at your empire for the likes of my bloated ideals....While were on the topic of dream bands ( which I think about, but never fess up to)
Nick Cave-vocals
Mike Watt-Bass
Roland S Howard-Guitar
John Vandersclice-guitar
Joh Strannier-Drums
Bang on a Can-backing orchestra
and a slew of guest performers......
while playing to the manipulated sounds of PAINKILLER over a quadraphonic stero PA
Thanks for the welcome back.....

Thanks to all who posted on my last journal entry. It's a shame that it takes a movie to get people to coalesce (spell check, Cheech) around a subject that has touched us in varying ways. Maybe what most of us do on this site is the way it really should be in everyday life. Then again, maybe you all have some kind of "semi-intellectual...

I'm zipping around the basement like a fucking horsefly. CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND is probably the one of the best "studio" films I've viewed of late. My tastes are so EXACT and what kind of nutrition I seek from a film is so SELECT that I pass through movies like cotton swabs in a hospital. Breast, Guns, Slickness, Irony, yadda....I can't really squeeze that...

GREAT movie...I wish they would have touched on THE GONG SHOW a little more only because the acting was soooo good when they showed him on the show. Amazing. A movie that more than pleasantly surprised me. I'm not a huge Drew fan but I liked her alot in this movie.
As far as T.V. goes... Sheeesh. It's garbage in my opinion. I mean you can pick out some great stuff out there but it usually gets cancelled or you gotta have cable to get it. I love 'the Simpsons', but I think mainly because it pokes fun at all the things that make our society or culture so rediculous. It's a genuine and clever show. I hate reality shows. I don't like shows like 'Trading Spaces' or 'Queer Eye'. Shows that tell us how we're supposed to look or act according to the sponsors. It's bullshit. However there are some rediculous shows out there that are worth watching as well. I can't really sit here and tell you what is good and what isn't because we are all turned on to different things and we all have different senses of humor and so on. But I think is easy to spot garbage. And it's everywhere.

I have a general reaction like Mr. Smead above. I have to admit, I have dabbled in reality TV, with the first season of The Mole (this is over 3 years ago) and The Osbournes, but even with these shows there seems to be an emphasis on fighting. Kelly and Jack Osbourne have said they are actually friends but they have very short, intense fights; from watching the show, you would think they just hate each other. So the show's creators (who are never shown or described; I think that's worth noting) have decided, for us, that the most intersting parts of the Osbourne household are the conflicts.
Prodding negative reactions out of people, or out-n-out horrifying them, seems to be a strong direction of current TV: Fear Factor, that Shannen Doherty show, Crank Yankers, and Boiling Points (this new candid-camera MTV show where people annoy people and if they sit there and take it for enormous periods of time, they win money).
In defense of reality TV (well, the only defense I can really coem up with for them), sitcoms are (as the British say) bog-boring in a major way.
If I watch TV nowadays, it is The Daily Show, a Conan or SNL recent rerun, some Book TV on C-Span... I like to catch Nigella Bites as Nigella Lawson is one of the most beautiful women on the planet... I would still watch The Osbournes, but it was a more interesting show when they weren't all "stars." I could ramble on but it boils down to-- I still channel-surf sometimes, but rarely find anything.
Oh, and lastly, I think the best sitcoms on TV are The Andy Griffith Show and Leave It to Beaver. More wholesome? Maybe, but, more importantly, just more funny than whatever's on now.

Okay, since I've been in a more positive mood lately, I don't have many rage bullets to sling out and dress up like a Christmas turkey. Truthfully, working in the consumer pit was MORE soul-wrenching and physically agonizing than usual today. Two fantastic pieces of information were discovered today.

1. I've merely heard the same 2 T Rex songs everyone else has. Favorite glam song? Probably half of Aladdin Sane. That album actually makes me want to dress like Bowie in 1973-74. I can't think of another album that made me want to wear alien drag; that's an accomplishment.
2. I think it's sad to see sex based on non-romantic purposes, but then, I'm probably way too romantic. It should be legal. Lots of things should be legal.
3. Have to second the butterscotch request. I would probably say something really intimidating like, "You are so cool and sexy and talented; I'd like to lick your puddinged ass."
4. No, see answer #1; more like vinyl catsuits, stack heel boots, and violet feather boas.

I gotta think about it for a little bit... I'll answer back later on.
The movie "Heavenly Creatures" makes me want to fall desperately in love with some creative woman and design our own world. Who knew the butcher responsible for the gore classics like BAD TASTE & DEAD ALIVE could churn up something as breathtaking as HEAVENLY CREATURES. *swoon*

The show is at the Masonic on Phillips. Next to the Longhorn, between Subway and Burger King. 910 Phillips is the addy. The bands that count will go on about 11:00 just so you don't get there and leave before the decent shit comes on.
Oh yeah it's on Saturday the 3rd
Drone sounds like Nirvana mixed with Kyuss and some old school Pixies thrown in for good measure. Legbone is straight up hardcore skate punk of the Dead Boys/GC5/"Fugazi eating meat" variety. But they both pretty much have their own unique sounds, so trying to describe them using other bands is pretty futile.
And I'm not snubbing football at all man. I was a runningback for Central my damn self. I wasn't any good, but it was still good times.

I love the movie Heavenly Creatures. It's so beautiful yet so raw and brutal. I sampled the murder scene for my demo disc a few years ago. It's chilling to listen to alone without the graphic images.(have you seen "Meet the Feebles"?)
Anyway - I say toss your current problem and buy a Mac. Since the G5 came out you can buy used G4 machines for cheap and even a G3 iMac for next to nothing. I've had NO problems since I switched from a PC and would never go back. Check it out.

Yeah, me and Damon were supposed to hook up and drop by the Herbster's last night, but you know how shady he gets sometimes. The fucker never called me back to say what time to go over there, and then refused to answer his damn phone.

Well, the 10,000 books are the sum of all of our books. My brother isn't big on books, so he only has about a hundred or so. My dad has the brunt of the collection, and I'm the runner up. I only have books that I like to read over and over again. The rest I get from the library. Sometimes I have to order a book through interlibrary exchange, but that's okay. Just as long as I get my fix. And if I read the book and realize I want to read it again? I buy it. I only have one bookcase (a horizontal one from the Ethan Allen Horizon collection), but my closet has shelves and is lined with it. And the rest I shove under my bed and in various drawers. I have a system.

i get depressed twice a year. the day of my birth and the day of christs supposed birth (according to the bible he was born in march/april, always a fun thing to bring up when someone tries to point out the christmas star). other then those two days, i have no complaints with the world. in fact, i generally operate under the assumption that the sole purpose of the universe is to entertain me.
its just those two days and the bullshit that accompany them that get me down. i think its the fake crap that people try to pull on me those two days. they try to buy ones interest, blithely ignoring the fact that they would want nothing to do with me the other days of the year, perforning an act that has become a duty, not a desire.
i prefer my status as pariah in the family.
as for death... death is the best joke of the universe, and no one seems to get it. i myself have been laughing with that bastard over people's reactions to it for years. death is a fun character once you get the joke... and everyone gets the joke in the end...

Just to warn you, I'm only refering you to this gig... it ain't my thing. I'll do everything I can to make sure that YOU GUYS get the right treatment, but I'm stepping out as far as the organization is concerned. I don't know how proffesional these particular peole are so I don't know how well it will be put together.
The only reason I'm not putting more of myself into this is because....
I AM NOW THE OFFICIAL BOOKER/MANAGER OF THE MASONIC TEMPLE.
Me and the partnership that owns the building will be busy making improvements to that venue and putting together the opening events and such from now until March. And when it's on, you better definitely believe it's on. I'm looking out for everybody who looks out for me and you guys are definitely towards the top of that list.
