I'M SWAYZE

Star of such films as Steel Dawn and Point Break, and that one about dancing ( which seemingly intelligent girls will make you watch) and the other one about ghosts.
here is the soundtrack to his, in my opinion, best efforts.



The Dancing Is Over, Now It Gets Dirty!

RIP

IN 2 HOURS.............

...I will be another year closer to death. Depending on who you talk to most bets where made it would happen about 7 years ago. Sadly I have managed to keep going for 28 years.
Happy Birthday me.

JOHN HUGHES RIP

Sad sad times.

WAR JOURNAL

I used to love skating when I was a kid. I never tried so hard at something for so long to be so shit at it. Worlds worst skater me.



One of my favourite parts from a Skate vid. Jason Dill and a sweet Radiohead song from the Under-rated Airbag/How Am I Driving? EP. The video is from Alien Workshop's "Photosynthsis" video from way back.
Also from way back is this effort from Cherubs. A fine example of retarded, noise-rock if there ever was. I know people who saw them a round this time. And it makes me sick knowing that. Noisy, ugly rock incarnate.

Cherubs - Heroin Man

DANGER OF DEATH...........

Classic, teen angst incarnate. Everyone enjoys Chris Needham.

MEGADETH ALWAYS BEAT METALLICA

I have always liked Megadeth. As untrendy at times as it is. They easily rank higher than Metallica in my books. I was at Salesbury COE Primary School when I first heard them. My friend Vulture gave me a tape with Megadeth, NWA, Rat Pack, Nirvana and Guns N Roses. I played that tape almost constantly after that. All the way through Secondary school. Despite growing up and realising what a huge tool Dave Mustaine is I still loved that band. What more proof do you need than this video.....

Now, think how degrading it is being that girl that the bra belonged to? Throwing your bra at Dave Mustaine? Nick menza looking heart broken in the background. What a dick.

I did have a desire to go on about some of my equipment I use. But then after being disheartened by the "post your rig" thread on this forum I thought it best not. After reading it gave me that feeling you get when you watch your girlfriend getting her backed knocked out by some one better than yourself and she taunts you about it. All the equipment I use is pretty shit. I wish I could afford something good.
I did intend to do loads of important thing stonight, instead I have listened to lo-fi Black Metal and typed this post. What a waste of a night.
Better waste it with some good music. Dad They Broke Me are from Australia. I really have no information about them other than they sound like a monstrously deformed collision of The Jesus Lizard and Unsane dripped through a doom filter.

Dad They Broke Me - Lack

Give it a wizz. Its pretty good. Better than that girl who threw the bra further up the post. But then, I imagine nearly anything is.

New toys

Well sort of. As has been a plan of mine for some time now. I needed a new cab. Mine was fine but falling apart. As anyone that has given me a lift with it at gigs or carried it upstairs/across cobbles/out of the van will know. Its a complete bastard.
Its a Behringer BB810. I know people hate Behringer and slag it off rotten quite a lot but its stood up well for the past 4 years. Been on so many tours, used by bands every night. It even survived Dan Lilker playing through it for 8 days in a row. The casing started looking a bit ropy a year or so ago. Original wheels fell off and I fitted these shopping trolley wheels, they have proven to be unsturdy. As well as the wood beginning to fall apart on the bottom. So the time came to get it sorted.

The sides have been removed along with the base and wheels. The electrics are all still fine and intact. The plan has been to build new sides and base with new wheels fitted and easier access for transport.

The sides have now been done, good solid ply. New wheels and axle have been ordered and that is the current position.

So yay to building your own stuff. The project after this is a new amphead. Which I can see being slightly more tricky.
Ah well. I did get hold of the Mad Max OST courtesy of Mackie. So its all going pretty well at the moment. Which is unnervingly wierd. So its bound to go wrong very soon.

Ah Temptation!

The new Coalesce album is available on some blogs. Well ahead of its release. What do I do? I need to hear it but I want to wait, but can I? Anyone that knows me knows how much I love this band. So the chance to hear new material before the release date is proving too tempting, bastards. I have the link sat in my bookmarks, taunting me.
I was exactly the same with the final Cursed album, I of course bought it when I could but I had to hear it before that day. This might be a similar situation.
But Oliver did get some bargains this week. From the unmined, treasure chest of charity shop shopping. Oxfam to be exact. For the price of 10 queen heads, I got....

Paul Simon - Gracelands LP
Rainbow - Rising LP
In/Humanity - The History Behind The Mystery LP + 7"

And 2 classic films for my video collection ( thats right, video collection)

The Punisher, the original not the shoddy Travolta remake...


And Patrick Swayze's best film by a country mile....


Superb you more than likely will agree.
So to readress the balance placed on my feeble mind of the imminent Coalesce album..here is something that I have spent more than a fair share of time listening to. Awesome, lo-fi, male/female vocal ambience. Ida, Will You Find Me. Superb stuff.

Ida - Will You Find Me

Enjoy dickheads.

Clocked In, Punched Out

Its been a very tiring few weeks. I ain't updated cause no one really reads this. Been working and living life for what little enjoyment it is possible to achieve.
Anyhow I get to play with Melt Banana soon. Which is better than you full stop.

So go and enjoy the best website around at the moment.....

UNCYCLOPEDIA

And download this and listen to it....

Neil Young - Dead Man OST

Hands down Jim Jarmusch's best film. Johnny Depp plays an accidental outlaw in this run-down, backwoods town set in the old west. But it is so much more than that.
Neil Young recorded this soundtrack while alone in a studio, surrounded by instruments and watching the film, he just palyed and threw notes in when he reckoned was the right point. Superb.
