Oh Jameson's - how I love thee! <3

Well, it's way more than 48 hours later, and for those of you who give a shit, I'm still a free man! ;-) hahahaha That thing with the Cheyenne? Forget about it. It's been squashed, and a gag order has been put into effect. The Godfather has spoken. That is all. :-) Un-rally the troops! Put those picket signs away! Stop the Boycott! Everything is cool. hahahahaha

Ya know, I just found out about those shows happening @ the Royal Resort this weekend for the Local Alternative radio station here in town. I'm told people still listen to the radio but I can't for the Life of my imagine why. Oh well. Fucking everybody and their Mom is playing the damn event - Guilty By Association, The Quitters, Ministry Of Love, The People's Whiskey (check these guys out! I'm so hyped on them right now), The Dirty Panties, Haleamano, The Happy Campers, and a bunch more, and I wish I would of known about it sooner, because I could of hyped it up a bit more, but I guess I just wasn't worth the effort of sending a Facebook invite to, or even a copy of the flyer. **Le sigh** Anyways, it's gonna be a pretty sweet shindig, with bands playing both poolside and in what they lovingly refer to as 'The Den', which is really just a blank floor space at the end of the check in desk / bar area. Nice. You should make an effort to be @ the Royal Resort sometime this weekend, if not just being there all weekend long! There's gonna be something for everyone there. Should be fun.

Besides that Royal Resort gig on Saturday, Guilty By Association are also playing Yayo Taco that same night. They're playing with Machine Gun Vendetta from Reno, and Surrounded By Thieves and Permanent Failure. It's Permanent Failure's last gig, as they're breaking up do to the usual "creative differences". I also think that these last few gigs of Guilty By Association are the last ones that they're doing with Bingo Billy on drums. I'm still not sure of the exact reason why he's quitting, and if what I heard is true really is, then that's even more of a bummer, but regardless, if you're in the mood for some Tacos, Beer and Punk Rock, then come out to Yayo Taco  Saturday night and have some fun.

Everything's updated. The Mapes gig on Friday is gonna be great! See ya there!
 
 
Hey! It's Friday! Lots of stuff going on this weekend, like that Holding On To Sound gig happening @ the Gypsy Den tonight. They're going to play their first album in it's entirety, but since I don't have it, I can't tell you if that's a good thing or not! LOL I'm sure it will be pretty cool. TheCore are opening. I love those guys. If that's not your cup of tea, then you can head over to Talk Of The Town to see the Seriouslys and the Fremonts play in the parking lot there. Tell Treasure and Troy that I said Hi! <3 And for some cool Thomas Miller comic book artwork, head over to Jason from the Mapes new comic book store called Hellpop Comic Studios, located in the Arts Factory. Suite 222. Bring him booze and/or narcotics please. :-)

Saturday it's all about the Mighty Diamonds and Haleamano @ the Silverton. Yeah!! Pass The Koutchie! Afterwards if I'm not too out of it I'm gonna head over to the Beauty Bar to see KRS-ONE spit wicked hot fire. It's not very Punk Rock, I know, but if you wanna get your Punk Rocked and Rolled, then head over to see the Black Jetts rip shit up at the Double Down. Yup! Everything's updated. Have a great weekend. I know I will. :-)

 
 
It has been sooooooo fucking beautiful weather wise as of late that I'm sorely slacking on getting updates done to this site. I got stuff to add, like this CD review! LOL Man, I gotta get back into doing CD Reviews, since I have such "impeccable taste in music... NOT!" (Thanks Shane!) and "weird opinions" (Thanks San-D!)... hee hee hee

Punk Rock Heart Transplant


I was standing in line at the best Roberto's in town (next to what used to be the Aristocrat near Charleston / Rancho) after an early morning jaunt with the Amoroso clan to the Broad Acres Swap Meet, which I have never been to before. Yeah, I know, shut up. While I'm standing there pondering what to grub on, Brian from TheCore walks in, says Hello to me, and after a bit of chit chat he mentions to me that his band was just featured on some compilation thing, and gave me a copy of it.I thanked him for it, put it in my back pocket, forgot about it until doing my laundry weeks later, burned it to my hard drive and songs from it keeps popping up on shuffle, and it sounds pretty good. A bunch of bands from California, a token few from Canada, and a handful from Las Vegas comprise all of the music on here, and it all kind of goes in a Pennywise / Strung Out / Lagwagon / Death By Stereo kind of direction. What ever happened to diversity on compilations? LOL All kidding aside, there are some really good tunes on here, stuff from bands like The Regime, No Bueno, Guilty By Association, Bastard Suns, Eken Is Dead, Battle Born, and, my favorite song from TheCore, which I never knew the title of before, Scene Kid Sacrilege (Return Of The Shirt). Gawd, such a great song. Besides being a cool collection of some good songs, this compilation is also a great idea in getting bands music out to the people for free. All the bands involved paid for the pressing and recording of the songs, and because of that, the CD is absolutely free for the taking. Not bad. For more information go to www.punkrockhearttransplant.com or www.facebook.com/punkrockhearttransplant for more info on the project, and maybe to find out how your band could be on the next one. It's a good idea, and there's some pretty good stuff on here.

End of Review. I'll make a new page for it later. Everything's updated. New Pictures of Barrington Levy and Haleamano @ the Bunkhouse added to the website, and the Show Review of the Guilty By Association 10th Anniversary gig @ Yayo Taco is now Alive and Kicking. It's about time too, as that one was a bitch to put together, for some reason. Click here to read that if you're so inclined. It's hard to get things done on here as of late, but there's good reason for that. ;-) My beloved Sharks are in the Playoffs, and we're gonna kill the L.A. Queens in 4 straight! hahahaha Life is Good.
