Phenobarbitual mosh

Do you know who rule?



Thats right.Motherfucking DrugTest.
What a band.What a fucking band.We were blasting 'Locked Out' on the motorway last night.It ruled.


So i have the internets now.THE WORLD IS DOOMED!
I think im getting my Live account sorted tomorrow,money depending,just in time for Left For Dead.things are going quite nicely i think.

The Hose Bunny had some of the funniest jokes ever in it.

DO IT

For Those Who Don't Know NIHON-GO

So im learning Japanese.Its awesome.Im only in my third week of it but its pretty good fun.Its a basic class but at the end of the 14 week course i should be able to take the 4th grade of the proficiency exam.good times.Ive always wanted to learn it and have absoloutely always had an interest with Japan and its culture for as long as i can remember.I decided to do this class cause i might/most likely will be going next year(get planning fucker).Im super super stoked on it.

This weekend was class.Classnevin was overrun with Simon,Fingers,Holly and Lars and the dozen or so people tattoo'd.everyone was awesome.I dont know how many movies we watched or tattoo's i saw being done.


instead of going to some stupid jerk beach that was miiiiiiiiiiles away we headed out to Bull Wall around 11.The moon was mega bright and we had all the buzz on the beach


Sleeping at 6 in the morning on the kitchen floor has never been so good.
Major thaks to:Simon,Fingers,Lally,Lars,Holly,Jack,Ciara,Ruthie,Laura,Fry,Robb,Cian and Martin.

Being back in work sucks all the balls but at least i know what i want to get done.

Word

John Larroquette appreciation

John Larroquette is quite possibly the best guy ever.He deserves a ridiculous amount of praise.Detailing his career and overall contribution to quality TV would take ages.To name a few

Night Court was amazing,10th Kingdom was a really good show.Thank you for once Sky One and to top of that he is now Crane,Poole and Schmidt's partner Carl Sack in Boston Legal!you really dont get better than that.AND dont get me started on McBride.

John Larroquette,i salute you.

Records fucking rule

We're the youth of today!

This band!this band have really Really been getting a lot of plays with me lately.The intensity and pure power they had was unreal.Ray Cappo you are my hero.I cant even begin to list the amount of bands who just ripped of his style/mannerisms.i count myself in that number also, has to be done like.Break Down The Walls is just phenomenal.Anyone who hasnt listened to them before.....WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN HARDCORE???
I Have been listening to an inordinate amount of older hardcore recently.Much more in comparison to modern stuff.I dont want to come across as preachy or snooty but you really have to listen to where the newer bands came from.No YOT= no DTN.Simple as.
If you do take my advice and listen to these guys spend that extra minute or two and get some Slapshot.they were keeping hardcore evil since before you were born.

Good times lately have included a bit of a break in the First Death camp.I think we thought we were breaking up there for a while but not the case.We're having a bit of a break to get our shit together and hopefully not write songs we'll play for a week and then totally hate.That happens more than id like to admit.We're fussy bastards with real short attention spans.Maybe we'll come out with some good songs.who knows.
Now we gotta go play a show.Galway is calling.

Peace

and remember

The First Step RIP

TFS breaking up is some of the suckiest news ive heard in a long while.
I want everyone(if anyone reads this that is)to go listen to 'Open hearts and clear minds' for the one reason THAT ITS GOOD!Some quality positive hardcore right there.

We're one band down.go start a band.

Bringin' it down

The last ADIH show left me more than a little pissed.On one count cause it was the last time id get to play those songs with those guys which im really glad i got to experience.Some crucial individuals there.The other reason i was pissed has to do with the show itself.

This may make me sound like a bit of a dick but why dont people go off for regular shows?

I know there are people up front singing at a lot of shows for local bands but never to the same degree for say Barntowns(RIP) last show.

Question:Why the fuck not?

I dont want to come across as a complete tool(more than usual) or some sort of authority on hardcore(im far from that) but i want people going apeshit when local hardcore bands play.

I know theres not many of them but if people are that into the music they should be up front spitting the words back at whoever is singing them,jumping off shit and fuck knows what else.

Im not saying go to gigs of bands you hate and feign interest just be honest.If you like a band show some fucking interest.This scene is only as good as the people who are into it.

That was more of a preachy rant than i intended but it has been on my mind a good bit.I guess its being at an event like Sound & Fury and seeing amazing crowd participation,Minus the idiots of course and there were a fair few of them at it,it really made the show.Going to this made me feel better after the last show bullshit.I felt i owed it to myself.

Having never been to the states before i was stoked.Flying over was grand thanks to awesome Robot Chicken on Lauras laptop and watching Cloverfield three times.

LA was pretty cool.I nearly saw David Duchovny but burritos took precedent.I thought id see Nick Jett roaming the streets being a scumbag but alas i did not.I didnt even see any Juggalos i was outside like two Hot Topics(Hot Topic is not punk rock).Being a tourist was class.

Santa Barbara ruled lots.Mostly cause of Sound & Fury being three days of awesome.The venue was a bit too big and kinda felt like a wedding post party with the ceiling decorations going on.

Highlights were:

Swamp Thing

getting free shit from Six Feet Under and xWords Of Warx records

Cold World playing twice.FUCK YOU MAC KELL

Guns Up! pile on

Nellys super extra bonus Canadians

records for one dollar!!!!

da da da dada da AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Bitter End

mosh to dives

seeing Underdog even though they had no original members

Blacklisted

Bracewars entire set

circle pits

BARGS ROOTBEER

Lowlights were:

idiots being idiots in my general area

Soul Control cause their new singer sucks ass

missing out on the Have Heart record cause of a fucking q and Swamp Thing were playing

people selling the Trash Talk record on Ebay the next fucking day.

I think thats it on the bad things.Far outweighed by the good anyway.

San Francisco fucking ruled so much.For one i got to go on a segway!!!

Clearly one of the raddest things to happen to me in my lifetime.I seriously want to own one.I also saw where the SF level in Tony Hawk 3 was based on and it was pretty much exactly as it is in the game.I was awestruck.Coming home to this shitty country was the second hardest thing ive had to do.Going back to work was the hardest.Some very awesome people were on this trip and i vow revenge on Andy for destroying me on Pong

peace

Everyone should listen to Think I Care
