WE'RE ALL FORGIVEN! And who among us can't use a little forgiveness! (On the other hand, look what happened to Gandhi!)

THE NEW Y ORK FOOTBALL GIANTS SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!

THE NEW Y ORK FOOTBALL GIANTS SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!

I've driven close to 1000 miles in the last 36 hours, fueled by decaffeinated tea and alot of great music. Largely responsible for my decaf high energy level was a fuckton of two of the greatest albums ever devised by human beings: THE MONKS: BLACK MONK TIME and BLACK FLAG DAMAGED Play [...]

It would be refreshing if one of the scumbag Republican candidates just sang this at the next debate. Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows that the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows Everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody got this broken [...]

So it was the summer between high school and college and I was a full on drug and punk freak. Things were going OK- I had my college plans (far far away from home) and I had a bit of money through my gas station job. I was going to go to party in the neighborhood and meet my "girlfriend" ("Girlfriend" with the quotes because I hadn't fornicated with her. I had met her at a Ramones concert and made out with her- whats better then locking lips during "She's The One"). I still remember the taste of [...]

So said Iron Mike Tyson. Words to live by. How are YOU taking the hits? With your hands on head or on the trigger of a gun?

As long time readers might know, I have a major love jones for the NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS . So, yesterdays' ass kicking of the Green Bay Packers was very enjoyable. What really surprised me, however, was that I am on the road (ummm... my name IS Nomad) and spent the game in a Pennsylvania watering hole, surrounded by Eagles fans . And I didn't get into any fights!!!!!!! And I even played peacemaker breaking on up! Say what you will, but $5 Yuengling pitchers must [...]

I've had a couple of business setbacks today- suck city. Is it because it's Friday The 13th? And, since the world is supposed to end this year- wouldn't it make sense that it would end on a Friday The 13th? Yeah- sure... It's the 21st freakin' century and we're still afraid of this nonsense... From Medical News Today : The Friggatriskaidekaphobia phenomenon is a phobia for Friday 13th, a superstition that has existed for hundreds of years in virtually every corner [...]

And here's some Redd Kross live! From 1982 (30 years ago?????!!!!!) 2008 (give or take a year) Redd Kross (as Red Cross- the original spelling of the band) performing mega old school - the songs from their first album Born Innocent: and lastly, as the second greatest power pop band ever:

Hey kave kids, here's some more cooler than thou stuff from Redd Kross! Here's a quick Redd Kross story. Back in the 80's around the "Teen Babes From Monsanto" era- RK played a NYC show with the Circle Jerks, Toxic Reasons and DOA. I still have the poster from the show. So me and Davey snuck backstage (it was at this old theater/club called The Ritz- now known as Webster Hall). We were pretty "enhanced" and struck up a convo with the bros McDonald that focused mainly on mushrooms, stealing liquor from our parents stash and of course [...]

Jangle jangle jangle... it's 2012. It's time for some Redd Kross--- one of my all time fave bands- early so-cal punk to KISS worshippers to power pop legends. Here some pretty rare (shit- I hadn't seen this stuff before on-line) of the McDonald Brothers and friends... starting off with the classic DESPERATE TEENAGE LOVEDOLLS- the story of Bunny, Kitty and Patch. Desperate Teenage Lovedolls by crazedigitalmovies The "Third Eye" incarnation got to perform on a couple of NBC late nighters: [...]

All the best to all of you for 2012. And better things. Here's wishing you the bluest sky, And hoping something better comes tomorrow. Hoping all the verses rhyme, And the very best of choruses to Follow all the doubt and sadness. I know that better things are on the way. Here's hoping all the days ahead Won't be as bitter as the ones behind you. [...]

Armageddon must be around the corner- I just got a MacBook Pro. Hey, my company wanted me to get a laptop (and footed the bill), so why not go for it? I'm making dick money, might as well get a perk. Now I am truly a tethered 21st centruy boy- I got the 'droid phone, the desktop and the laptop. I might as well get one of those tracing collars for around my neck and the RFID chip embedded in my forehead. Of course, with 2012 breathing down our necks, I'm rootin' for the apocalypse... when [...]

5 more songs that were better then anything this pustule of a year brought. Interestingly enough, these songs put together form a pretty apropos statement: It's obvious; black and white. We're getting nowhere fast... sitting still. So what!

Christmas is hell on earth, I know nothing worst then being depressed and told to be happy. The season of su-icide, I know why they died Christmas reminds me I have nothing I've got no girl there's only me no friends or family, another Christmas alone Got no food to eat, no ornaments or wreath so I'll hang myself from the tree Christmas is dark and wet, so I can't forget Christmas reminds me I have nothing this is the end of hope, I won't write a note because it would be addressed to no one [...]

Notice a trend? That's because 2011 fucking sucked! Best version of the old Ike & Tina toon. Given the context, as Punk as fuck. A song that makes me wanna jump and down and yell 'NO"!!!! Nick Cave will kick your ass. Ted Nugent exemplifies the year 2011. He's a tremendous asshole. Next 5 to come...

The madcap laughed. But when did the laughter find no escape? The old parable about burning out before fading away found Syd Barrett with a foot in both camps. The legend lived on, ever brighter; but the man himself diminished. What could have been going through his mind? Bitterness at being pushed out of one of the biggest bands in the world? Or relief at becoming only a footnote? We're all on thin ice, indeed. Nobody knows where you are, How near or how far. [...]

In honor of our once liberal and sane President deciding that detaining and torturing American Citizens is a good thing ... I'm not quite sure I understand why Obama is increasing his "asshole quotient", especially as the Repugni kkk an candidates seem to be on a "can you top this heinous statement" tactic. Unless of course, Obama is planning death camps for the extreme right wing!!!!!

These guys kick such major ass. I heartily recommend you listen to a fuck-ton of their stuff. Before you do- make sure you drink some Nyquil and take some cold pills. Chasing it back with a couple of shots of bourbon is cool too. A few bongloads couldn't hurt. Then, play this shit real fucking loud. "bought another copy of zoso, seeds were bustin' up the spine"
