here's an excerpt from an email exchange with an old friend this morning, whom i haven't seen in years:
it's weird- the paths we take and end up on. it's like the first time i heard punk rock music and it just hit me, and going to the ice pick for the first time- i knew that's what i wanted to be- or do... in high school college was the last thing i wanted to do- i remember sitting in government class and some guy from the bank came in to talk, and he said something like "i'm sure you all want to be rich when you grow up!"
i raised my hand and said "i didn't- that i wanted to be punk rock, be in punk rock bands, tour the world, and be poor."
i slept a lot in that class (yet somehow i think i managed to get an 'a' in it)- after i said that norm told me "i could go to sleep now if i wanted..."
and i did.
i stumbled upon this blog awhile ago: fugitive equilibrium.
it's a rad blog by a rad dude marc, and he reviews 7"records and posts .mp3's along with cover art and excellent reviews. lots of older stuff that a lot of you have probably never seen... he also has a lot of links to similar blogs... tons of out of print shit is up and out there for the pickin'! rad... i guess that's the word for the day.
as usual, my idea of podcasts seems to be turning into a pipe dream, but i still wanna make it happen, it just might take a little longer than i thought.
i deleted the warehouse pics that were up. i wanna figure out a way/place that everyone could post pics to, but i think i said that last time...
and it looks like the columns are done again. don't know what happened.
also, i got a promo disc a little while back from just rock pr- the band: DESTROY EVERYTHING from chicago- the lp is titled "FREEDOM OF SPEECH MEANS TALK IS CHEAP". veterans of the scene, they bring their own brand of p-rock to the table- fast and catchy. starting around '96 from the ashes of two other chicago bands- cigarettes and the insane war tomatoes. released 4.1.08 on tent city records, they kinda remind me of a mix between face to face and nofx with a lot more snot. spikey hair/no hair/who cares...it's a decent, catchy album that yr sure to enjoy. i fucked up by not posting this earlier- they played saginaw on the 13th... my bad. apologies...
also, june 20-21st, in muskegon, is the rock for rosie fest, a 2 day backyard event to help benefit a 3 year old with cancer. flyer/more info...
and, while it's not a punk rock event, i will be covering the ROTHBURY festival july 3-6, thanks to megan @ madison house publicity!!!
