When I saw the show at the Henry Fonda in LA a couple of years ago, there was a couple in front of me doing some sort of interpretive dance.  Awful and distracting.

Kalyan has a new track up that samples Skin Horse.  It's titled Double.

A friend of mine who is a hip-hop producer made a beat using Bar-X.  You can check out a sample at www.nfnkalyan.com.  It's the 8th song on the site if you want to skip right to it.  The title is "Tech."

I think it's a good one, but of course, I'm biased.

Any Monkees covers?

go all retro

How about Klaus Voorman?  Or Peter Tork?

It was probably Follow That Bird

Great flick.  Some of Big's best work.  Saw it in the theaters.

So I was reading some old articles from the Stag-Honky period in which the recording budget was lightly touched upon.  Buzz mentions that he'd like to be on a major label again after Honky because he feels it's kind of an inferior version of Stag since they didn't have the budget to record things the way they had on Stag.  That said, does anyone have any idea what the budget is like on the Ipecac releases?  Things have probably changed some since that time, though, with the proliferation of digital recording.  I'm a huge fan of the Ipecac releases, but I do wonder what the boys would be putting out if they had more money at their disposal.

Even the mighty Melvins can't make that shit funny.

AHAHA.  I found out where they found out about the clip, and it wasn't here.  

Where's that?

I think I should get some kind of credit for this clip.

Isn't he sitting with Trevor Dunn?

No that doesn't look like TD.............?

Yeah, that's not Trevor.  I don't know who it is.

Someone host this NOW!!!

I sent it to a couple of people, so hopefully someone will post it soon.

So I'm watching today's game between my beloved White Sox and the Twins on my TiVo and I got quite a shock...

MLB Extra Innings picked up the Twins broadcast of the game.  Kent Hrbek, former Twins star, was in attendance and was shown on camera in the "Fan of the Game" segment and who is sitting two seats down from him but the King himself.  I was shocked.  The first thing I did was check the Fantomas tour schedule, and sure enough they're in Chicago for a show tomomrrow.  Announcers Bert Blyleven and Dick Bremer made some snide remarks about Buzzo's appearance.

I've captured the video and have it on my computer if anyone would be so kind to host it.  E-mail me at scott.troy@gmail.com.

I would personally advise against buying Melvinmania or whatever that thing is called because assuming you end up wanting to buy more, you're just going to buy the three Atlantic albums separately, anyway.  I'd suggest any of the Atlantic albums or maybe The Bootlicker or H.A.T.

I was walking out of the Gap on Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica tonight after returning some pants (they got stained in the wash) and who do I see walking down the street but Buzz and Adam Jones.  I felt like I should talk to them, but I didn't want to bother them and I wasn't sure what I would say... of course, it occurred to me too late that I could have asked about Kevin, but then maybe that would have been too personal, anyway.

Ha, that musta been incredible. Two living legends.

Yeah, and they took my pants back at The Gap even though they had gotten stained in the wash.  It was a good day all around.
