I usually don't like to read more than one book at a time, but I've been all stoked on reading a bunch of stuff lately, so I've been impatient and now I'm reading a couple of books at the same time. I just started Get in the Van, finally. Black Flag was one of those life changing bands, and I've heard enough good stuff about the book that it's

if you read the book "Our Band Could Be Your Life" there is the section about Black Flag. it's really funny how they meandor their way through southern claifornia music. but funnier still when Rollins joined the band and it all went to shit. like Rollins used to just attack people for heckling them. he would beat on people in the crowd or on the stage. he would pick fights while singing. eventually greg and the others would just leave him to get his ass kicked or whatever. at the same time, he was like a little puppy dog to greg. i don't know, he is a dork.

hah, and even with all the violent machismo, i am super interested in that time during the punk scene.

yeah, it is neat to think that they sort of created the "hardcore" genre with that speed and angst. bands like Raw Power and such added to it with that super fast edge. i'm still a bigger fan of early era 7 seconds though. "clenched fists, black eyes" and "red and black" will always be perfect hardcore songs to me. as well as the biscuits and minor threat.

i never got into 7 seconds at all really. gorilla biscuits is probably one of my top 5 bands ever, though. holy goddamn, i will rip it up to GB any day.

[spittingblack]

yeah, GB are so good. I think that with 7 Seconds, the above mentioned songs were their best, they had some other good songs, but a lot of thier stuff is sort of throw away. but the two songs are really really good i think.

what's with this Great Clearing Off reunion show i keep hearing about? i hear that the show will share the bill with seatia and man is the bastard!

haha.... hmmmm well, steve from saetia lives a couple blocks away from me and recorded the great clearing off, so we'll show up in seattle drunk to hell and um, we'll somehow find man is the bastard along the way. i have a man is the bastard cd... i'll bring it and we'll play it really loud while steve and i scream and jump around like idiots.

yes yes ya'all
