Just found this post but have to add -- I'm stoked this band is from my town and I get to see them end of this month live. So freaking great to see others are hearing them too outside of Denver. My sister, a native american but gone now, wouldn't have dug the music but would have loved the spirit and the words.

That sounds great and would be much more my thing too. Small bars, loud music. Let's go.

 

I can't decide, honestly.

Updates to add:

  1. I am basically old. I saw X and TSOL and Black Flag live in the early 80s in Southern Cal. So if this was ageist of me, then I guess I'm disrespecting myself too. But it's not because...

  2. This is just about making money, nothing to do with the punk spirit. Lee Ving gets to pay his rent / have a little fun still, the concert promoter and the hall got some and paid their staffs (which is all fine, everyone's gotta eat) but there's nothing punk rock about this performance, other than the songs from the late 70s. And anyway...

  3. There's no age limit I suppose, but I hate to see artists still plugging away at this age (late 70s). I just saw X here a few months ago, they billed it as their last tour. I actually loved the show, but if they tour again next year, I will be disappointed in them. Time to do something else, imo.

I love that many of you still love to see this kind of thing, so I'm glad I shared it here; you do you. This is me.

Watch the movie and you'll see the people it was facing had the same thought.

Cool. Maybe just try a free tuta account for a while and see what you think?

I went from gmail to Tuta and it's great. I told gmail to forward all mail to tuta then delete it. Over time then, when I saw a message come in from gmail, I took a moment to change my email on that service or told that person to update their address book. So I didn't have to deal with it all at once.

I have a basic account (with 1 custom domain and 5 addresses) but yes, I've always understood you get unlimited at the higher levels.

If only these people could recognize a tyrant when they see one.

 

Bad Taste is a 1987 New Zealand science-fiction action comedy horror film directed, produced and filmed by Peter Jackson, who also starred in it and co-wrote the screenplay, along with Tony Hiles and Ken Hammon. Independently produced on a low budget, it is Jackson's first feature film. Jackson and friends take on most of the key roles, both on and off-screen. The plotline sees aliens invade the fictional New Zealand village of Kaihoro to harvest humans for their intergalactic fast food franchise, where they face off against a four-man paramilitary force.

(French, 1885 – 1937)

Georges Valmier was a French painter. His work encompassed the great movements in the modern history of painting, starting with Impressionism in his early years, then Cubism which he discovered when he was around 25 years old, and finally Abstractionism from 1921. He also designed sets and costumes for theater and ballet, and models for fabrics, carpets, and other objects. His oil paintings do not exceed 300 in number, since Valmier died prematurely at the age of 51.

(New Zealander, 1869-1947)

Frances Mary Hodgkins was a New Zealand painter chiefly of landscape and still life, and for a short period was a designer of textiles. She was born and raised in New Zealand, but spent most of her working life in England. She is considered one of New Zealand's most prestigious and influential painters, although it is the work from her life in Europe, rather than her home country, on which her reputation rests.

What is The Minus 5 in Year 2025? You might well ask! What started off in 1993 as a studio side project (as the Young Fresh Fellows were easing up on their typically frenetic activities), it was originally meant to explore the folkier, more dismal side of rock’s palate/pallet.

The core band on this effort is Scott (The Hoople) McCaughey, ever-ready Peter Buck, Linda Pitmon, Kurt Bloch. And Debbi Peterson added her golden voice to every song. Plus guest appearances by Spencer Tweedy, Patterson Hood, and Ed Stasium (more on him later). Somehow, less thought was put into this record... which is actually an extremely positive development!

I miss The Young Fresh Fellows so this is good news.

 

Immigration minister Marjolein Faber is planning to make a formal police complaint about a poster carried at last weekend’s anti-racism demonstration featuring a photograph of herself with a drawn-on Hitler moustache.

 

German, 1870–1937
