also, got to meet ian mackaye at a show at a bar my friend owns. if you think he's hardcore, you should meet his wife...also an excellent show...Whoah...
whoah is right, dude, minor threat was my intro into punk. it was like meeting the guy who made the 80's possible for me...
(to put this in perpsective, imagine the flashback scene in SLC punk, when the guys are about to play d&d and heroin bob pops in the "new stuff" he got from "some guy in LA". but the new stuff is minor threat, not generation x. i listen, fall in love with punk, break my copy of "2112" in half and say "yeah, that is the stuff, now sit the f*** down and level up your wizard!)

Wow I LOVED that movie! Easily the best acting I ever saw Matthew Lillard ever do. Course if it was me I would've put the 2112 aside for later and grooved on the "new stuff" for a while. Love the new stuff, cherish the old stuff sez I.

i still have a copy of 2112 on casette. nothing to play it on, however.
yeah, slc punk was the stuff.
listening to fishbone right now (ask me about the time they took me to see the reverend horton heat sometime...)
Ive seen Reverend twice. Love the guy (and J-I-M-B-O...and really like this newest drummer). They did a history of rock this last tour where they opened with the original 'serf'/surf music: Greensleeves and then he goes "nothin much happened after that till Bill Haley and the Comets showed up in 1952" and he does a few Cash tunes and then I cant remember what he uses for the 60's entry (maybe Cream?) then for the 70's he lets the drummer sing Paranoid!. Did Galaxie 500, Night in the Box, 400 Bucks, 'freakout, Wiggle stick, I Cant Surf and a bunch of others. He took the little break and was ready for the scheduled encore with Nashville Pussy's frontman trading lyrics on Motorhead's Ace of Spades and the other guy was in the john or something so the band gets the song started with the Rev starting the opening lines and from the back of the bar, the other guy comes runnin...Hilarious! Missed my chance to see Fishbone in about '90, wish I'da had the $$ at the time.
Totally agree with Lillard in SLC Punk! wow!
as for what Im listening to right now...Ive got Poets and Pornstars in the car and Testaments newest in the house.

i've seen them twice in the last ten months (for a total of about 30 times now, one of the perks of living in texas i guess...). they've been doing the "history" thing for a while now, like godsmack does the "dueling drummers" set piece. always good for a sing a long, but i wish the rev would mix up the selections a bit...
nashville pussy's new bass player is hot...
fishbone, man, first time i saw them was with primus, 90 or 91 i think. they put on a he** of a show...
Evil by Interpol.
Ooo! *Digs out iPod* :)
Screechy old 80's hair metal on the radio. Its the type of music you need a motor bike (whilst riding through the desert), trench coat and mullet to appreciate?
Some crap NU-metal band belting out a Micheal Jackson cover... Ugh...

And large boots or a chunky skull ring?
Ooo -I know! A bandanna!

oh, god, not the mullet bandana guy at the beach in his beater, primered mid-eighties firebird, listening to motley crue with his bleach blonde girlfriend flirting with other guys in hopes her boyfriend will get jealous and drunk enough to start a fight! not THAT guy!!!
KWOON!
At present I am listening to The House On The Borderland, Ambient album from Nostalgia.
Late of the Pier and the new Beck album.
Flight of the Conchords...
The David Bowie one and the racist dragon totally crack me up! ;)
Pendulum!

I'll take AAF, over Fall Out Boys "Beat It" cover.Some crap NU-metal band belting out a Micheal Jackson cover... Ugh..."Smooth Criminal," as performed by Alien Ant Farm. I can't stand it either, but it was popular when I was in high school.
i'd take both of their mics away, all of their instruments, then i'd go hot tie the record label dude that signed them and make him listen to william shattner cover song albums until his (or her) ears bleed for inflicting them on the american public...
after that, i'd go find every music "journalist" that uses the word "punk" in the same article of any of these "emo" bands and take away their computers, pens, pencils, paper, or anything else they could write on and make them listen to minor threat until they understood what punk is.
(ok, im done with the fuddy duddy screed now)
listening to: rage against the machine - bombtrack

Personally, I'd just lock 'em all in a room with Rollins, sit back, and watch the carnage.
My boss telling me to stop wasting HIS time and get back to work!
