Soooooooooo... what's the point of starting a QB with a rocket of an arm and have him only throw short or diagonal slant passes, never testing the safeties the entire game? Man, coaching needs to step the fuck up, because that was some shitty ass play calling during the Raiders game yesterday. Hours later and I'm still miffed about it but hey, at least it's football season, which gives me a reason to live for another 15 weeks. :-)  I missed the Weirdos gig on Sat. My ride totally flaked out on me. Boooo. I had a chance to tag along with Jeremy to go to CA. to see Good Riddance at Alex's Bar in Long Beach, but decided to stay in state and see those old dudes the Weirdos at the Dive. Boy, was I stupid! I heard the Weirdos were great, but to be honest, I was dreading seeing them. The last few times I had seen the Weirdos, they were just terrible, I mean, embarrassingly terrible, almost as bad as when I saw Sham 69 @ Night Moves in Huntington Beach in 1990, but that's another story. I heard the Weirdos were good. I'm glad you all thought so. It just sucks when you see a band that you used to destroy yourself to just, not really going through the motions, but, just a step or two behind what they used to be, not doing their legacy any good, a shadow of their once glorious self. That's what I saw in the videos everyone was posting anyways. It will happen to you and your favorite childhood bands someday too, don't worry about it, and when it does, you can say, 'gee, Gilbert was right! This does kind of suck.' And what's with all this Vermin backlash? Weren't those guys 'The Cool Dudes' just a while ago? Man, you lose 1 TV show and the whole world turns it's back on you... LOL And there was no way I was making it to that My Man Mike gig on Sun. @ the Dive because, well let's face it, I'm not that cool anymore. I'm not one of those guys that's enamored of all things Japanese. Nope.  I have a brand new camera and nothing to take pictures of!! hahaha It seems like everytime there's something going on, I'm busy doing something else, or I have nothing to do, and there's nothing going on. Like this gig going on tomorrow, Barghest and Dogma @ the Cheyenne Saloon. I would like to go to it, but it's on a Civilians practice day, and I'm pretty much useless after band practice, so no gig for me. Same with the G.B.H. gig on Weds. @ Triple B's. I got other non-Punk rock plans, so I'm not gonna be there. Have fun! G.B.H. is one of those bands that can still kill it (much like the Buzzcocks) by playing the old stuff that established them as the Legends they are and still sound good doing it. There are some cool gigs coming up this week... Prong... Slaughter And The Dogs... even the Total Ghaos gig has some cool opening bands supporting, so click here to go to the Gig Calendar page to get all the info on what's heppening around town, and if your band isn't listed on there, it's because you and your band sucks - simple as that! Oh - before I forget, click here to read the write up I gave The Quitters - Contributing To Erosion release, and click here to read the write up I gave to the self-titled Hoax release. I also posted the photos I took of Turbo Snail playing @ Mr. G.'s Roadhouse in AZ., complete with Paolo singing along, and you can click here to see those. I also posted those photos of Feather Static I took @ Morgan's Tavern in Riverside, CA., and you can click here to see those. Since I can't edit new pictures, I figure I better catch up on editing my old pictures... makes sense, don't it? :-)
