It always happens on Wednesday. I'm always overcome with the feeling that I should be doing something (besides watching South Park and Sons Of Anarchy, of course), and by the time I remember that Wednesdays is when Tim Napalm does his Radio Napalm show, it's already over. Yeah, second week of his Internet radio broadcasts and I haven't heard one yet. Sorry about that Sir. I promise I will try to catch the next one. Keep your eyes glued to www.woodyradio.com next Wednesday at 7 pm and get a little musical taste of what goes through Mr. Naplam's noggin'.

Speaking of radio, what the hell happened to Mohawk Radio? I've been seeing the Myspace bulletins announcing the name change to Double Down Radio, but if it's now going to be broadcast from that cesspool of inequity, and it sounds like the last show I heard that they did from there, then I'm gonna have to bail on supporting them. Not that it matters, because nobody reads this website, right? LOL I'm all for local Vegas bands getting some much needed exposure via any medium and all that, but if the radio show is going to be done in a half assed way like the the Double Down does everything, then I say phooey to all that. I think the show is still going to be done by Dysfunktion and Shauna, so it could still be good. If not, oh well. I've got better things to do @ 7 pm on a Friday, ya know?

One of the better things I have to do on a Friday is hang out at East Side Joe's, watching some bands mucking about and making noise, taking pictures for gawd knows why. Tomorrow night it's gonna be for some grindcore gig with Watch Me Burn. Should be fun. It'e being put together by Joe and Candy from Poisoned Productions (click here to go to their Myspace page). This is their first gig, so come on out and support a few good people trying to do a damn good thing. They both assure me that they have bigger and better gigs coming up. The one coming up that they told me about is going to be niiiiiice. I believe in 'em, and wish them all the best with their endeaevors. I just hope that some show stealing weasel doesn't try to steal their gigs from them... heh heh heh All the best to Poisoned Productions and good luck with all the upcoming gigs. You know I'll be there supporting ya! ;-)

Speaking of gigs, last weeks New York Dolls gig @ Sunset Park was interesting and insanely fun. The band played at the far end of a huge roller derby rink, about as far away as possible from the permanent bleacher seating erected just outside of the roller skating area. The sound was tinny and hollow. There wasn't a lot of peole there, which was either great or sad, depending on your perspective. I missed the opening band (Ruckus told me that the Vermin were supposed to open, but that some indie dance band played instead), got drunk while watching some Roller Derby (I was chearing for Shauna Of The Dead, #138 of course!) and then watched the Dolls romp through a drunken roller coaster ride set of classic (Pills, Trash, Jet Boy), latest (Tommy, Dance Like A Monkey) and cover songs (You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory, Pills and Hey, Bo Diddley!) that was just phenominal to watch. Wasn't as good as when I saw them eariler this year @ Jillian's, but that was only because at the Jillian's gig David Johannsen wasn't fucking up the lyrics to Personality Crisis... heh heh heh The New York Dolls were sloppy drunken fun, like that girl you pick up from the Double Down at 4 in the morning... hee hee hee

Speaking of public displays of drunkeness, The Mapes have a spilt 7" single coming out soon on Red Black And Blue Records. The thought of holding some Mapes vinyl in my hands sometime in the near future makes me feel all warm and cuddly inside. :-) Can't wait to grab a piece of what's sure to become Las Vegas History. Yup.

I've been sitting on this for a little bit now, hoping things were going to work out as good as they possibly could under the circumstances, and I'm glad to report that Ainjil, the keyboardist from Pigasus, is OK and doing fine, but man, what happened to her, what she's lost and endured, is beyond imagination. Click here, here or here for some accounts of what happened to her and what she went through. Holy fucking fuck. Makes you ponder on the fragility of Life. Don't take anything for granted people. Life is waaaaaaaayyy too short.

Everything is updated. Added some flyers to the Gig Calendar page. New photos added, yada yada yada. Who cares. See you at the gigs this weekend!
