"N.Y.H.C. Documentary" A Firm Classic in My Book!--

I love this movie! That kid from DISTRICT 9 is hilarious! It's either all the weed he smokes, or the angel dust he says he tried a few days ago, that's melting his mind! Anyhow, this is a classic. Right below "Another State of Mind" & "Suburbia" but not quite side-by-side with those two CLASSIC classics. You know what I mean. m//r
 

"Don't Watch This Film" [Anunnaki & The Origins of Humankind]

This is an incredibly succinct summary of the travails of mankind (humankind). 
I love this and you will too!  Keep an open mind & give yourself a break.
Always use love.  I love you, in case no one has told you that today!
Don't let the Zionist puppeteers & slave masters grind you down!
You are worth it.  WE are worth it.  m//r

"She's My Ex" by the Fabulous ALL (DESCENDENTS)--

"She's my ex. I can't cross her from my memory
She meant everything to me she meant every word she said
When she said, "I'll never love again. Be my ex until the end."
And I know I'll never feel that way again
She's just my ex
She's my ex. She marks the spot where I'm the weakest one
I can't expect she'll change her ways; can't accept the things she's done
She's just my ex. Nothing more nothing less but she'll always be my ex
She's my ex. Don't cross her path she still belongs to me
She'll be my ex till I say when till I get her back again
'Cause I know I'll never love again. Never need another friend
And I know I'll never feel this way again
She's my ex. She'll cross my mind a thousand times today
Still have a million things to say, guess I'm better off this way
Cause I know she'll never love again. She

She'll be my ex until the end
And I know I'll never feel this way again
She's just my ex. Nothing more nothing less but she's still my ex
And I, and I could never kiss that face goodbye
But I, but I could never stop to wonder why
She looks so pretty, she looks so pretty
And I know I'll never feel this way again
She's just my ex..."

Read, Read, Read...Turn OFF the T.V.--

Sunday evening: The verdict was handed down in the murder trial of Trayvon Martin last night: G. Zimmerman was found not guilty. Que sera sera.
Started working at the Ann Arbor Art Fair 2013 today. As usual it's hot hot hot out there! Sunny, humid days are what's in store for me over the next six days--YUCK! But it's gonna' pay the bills, put food in my belly, and keep my hands occupied for a bit. We'll see where life takes me next! Had a nice time at Holy Mass this morning, glad I went. For some reason though, all day today I was deep in thought about my ex girlfriend. It comes & goes.....the loneliness that is. Not even loneliness so much. Mostly that I really, really miss that gal. I know I know, I've spent plenty of time bitching about her, but it really wasn't all that bad at all. I soooo loved that fuckin' woman! In fact I still do. I am still holding onto to some kind of hope. Some kind of hope that she'll come around. That she'll call me or text me or respond to my emails. I just really miss her & our Saturday night "date nights!" I miss talking to her & being in her company, dammit!

Some New Books & Other Goodies--(updated 07/14/13)

Got some outstanding new books in the mail last week. My bookshelves are swollen over capacity and it's high-time I found a new storage system! Does anybody else find it extremely difficult to store books away in boxes or in a distant storage unit?  I'm the kind of person who MUST have his books at arm's length all the time.  I tend to easily forget about what I own if I don't have it nearby to remind me!  Thus, I've been known to double-purchase a book, 'zine, or record before!  LOL, it's a waste of energy & money to buy something more than once!  Anyhow, here's what's new (to me) over the past couple of weeks.  m//r

"Punk: The Early Years" Old Documentary--

Hardcore: Love It Or Leave It--

Great quote here.  Stolen from the Radio Silence site--

______________________________________

In the late 1960s, two bands hailing from Michigan laid the groundwork for punk. The Motor City Five and The Stooges aren’t the center ring on punk’s tree, but they stand as the most recognizable starting point. Both bands’ revved-up version of the blues garnered attention, major label deals, and devout fans, but the landscape wasn’t yet ripe for a revolution. Ultimately, a shitload of heroin and the typical cast of clueless suits caused both bands to end prematurely.

And while wearing swastikas for shock value, disrespecting the Royal Family, and displaying a disdain for anything considered “normal” was punk’s calling card, its roots remained firmly in the streets of New York, the art scene of Los Angeles, and London fashion; places totally foreign to kids in suburban America. As romantic as it was to be a starving artist living like shit in New York City most kids just fucking hated their parents and liked to light fires in the woods.

As punk migrated to the suburbs the sound and attitude changed. Something snapped in American culture; kids who loved the speed and fuck you attitude of punk took hold of its spirit, got rid of the “live fast, die young” bullshit and made a revision: hardcore. It wasn’t a direct fuck you to punk’s aesthetic and sound, hardcore was moving too fast to give a shit. With an actor elected as President and a defense initiative named after Star Wars, the decade was as dire as it was absurd. Cocaine was huge, AIDS surfaced as global epidemic, and the suburbs were really fucking boring. Hardcore’s direct and naïve stood out as the most honest commentary put to music at the time.

- Anthony Pappalardo, Instinct and Attitude: The Art of Necessity

TERROR "Never Alone" Lyrics...

I still think TERROR are  one of the best bands in the hardcore scene....if there IS such a thing as a scene anymore.  Scott Vogel, singer of TERROR, is a dude who's my age (early 40's) & has been playing in hardcore bands since 1990 or so.  I know he played drums in FADEAWAY, then sang for SLUGFEST, DESPAIR, BURIED ALIVE, & presently TERROR for the past 12+ years.  He is one of the nicest, coolest, and most sincere people I've ever met!  I've seen most of his bands, dozens of times.  He really loves hardcore, probably as much as I do.  And to that end he's done a shit-ton of work, all in the name of hardcorepunk!  This song, "Never Alone" is on the album, "The Damned, The Shame" which came out in 2008 or so.  Solid album start to finish!  Keep on keepin' on...m//r

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Never alone!!!You've got to know...You're never alone!
So lost in these days, when there's nothing to believe.I couldn't see, couldn't breathI turned my back on everything.All my will, all my drive, put you to the test.When all that you love, all that you know is pushing you to your death.When you're down reach for me,With all you strength and I won't let go.It's you and me against this world.You've got to know that you're never alone!Never alone!You've got to know.....
You're never alone!In troubled times, I'll see you through.I feel the strains, the same pain that you do.When you're down reach for meWith all your strength and I won't let go.It's you and me against this world!You've got to know you & I are never alone.You've got to know!
Never alone!You've got to know!Never alone!
