Man is the Bastard

Here is another album dug out of my boxes of discarded teenage memorabilia. My boyfriend picked this one up years and years ago. Most of my CDs don't last very long (I HATE compact disc format). This one survived though - and I'm glad. I'm sure there aren't too many floating around.

Man is the Bastard was a band that pioneered the Power Violence genre. This whole album is funny while at the same time making you wanna throw your beer bottle against the wall and smash your hand through a glass coffee table. Yeah. You can find out more about them here or here at their myspace.

That goo-monster from Creepshow 2...

.....is real!!!!!

Here is the story about an "Artic goo," that is devouring animals and eating through ice! As soon as I read it, I thought back fondly to that scene in Creepshow 2 where the gross boyfriend is trying to feel up his girl on the raft while he thinks she's asleep. Then....HE REALIZES THAT THE GOO IS EATING HER FACE! Awesome.

Here is footage of the goo in action



As for a music selection for this post - I dug up this track from the album "Sounds of Terror." The album is a sort of scary-story record and the sound effects are hilarious. This one is about The BLOB. Pretty much backs up my story.

Fabulous Metal Bozo Clowns

Lawnmower Deth was introduced to me, as many favorite bands were, on the ride to Highland High school with my pal Rik Henry. This album reminds me of Rik drinking screwdrivers while driving me to school and praying we made it there in one piece. But I'm not going to lie - I did feel like we were total badasses. I guess we were. And this was part of the soundtrack to our teenage rebellion.


Originally formed as SCRAWM in 1987 - these English dudes set out to have a thrash metal band. I suppose like many thrash metal bands - they kind of got bored with the some old faster faster harder harder scream scream scream. So they reformed as Lawnmower Deth and put a humorous slant on their music. Where many have failed in this plight, Lawnmower Deth still kept their thrash-chops - not letting the funny compromise the thrash. I'm glad. I'm one of those jerks that can't stand The Dave Brockie Experience - and its simply cause it is made MORE to be hilarious and less to be kick ass metal. Still love Gwar though. Gwar forever.

According to Wikipedia - pop punk is the reason this band broke up. Once all that Green Day noise gained notoriety with the kids - Lawnmower Deth just couldn't sell records anymore. They still have a myspace. And we still have great albums such as the one I'm sharing with you.



From Wikipedia: Lawnmower Deth's second studio album, Return of the Fabulous Metal Bozo Clowns, was released in 1992. The band's sense of humour extended into their cheap but enjoyable music videos. Both "Kids in America" and "Lawnmowers for Heroes, Comics for Zeros", the latter from Metal Bozo Clowns, were recorded on home video cameras and edited in an amateur fashion.

Jeremy Fish Blogs - Fans Rejoice.

Jeremy Fish has a brand-spankin new blog up at the Juxtapose magazine website:
http://www.juxtapoz.com/Jeremy+Fish/



I've been a huge fan of Fish since the first time I saw his stuff in Juxtapose. And its weird because I'd heard his name tons due to an acquaintance that moved to California and apparently was dating this great artist - who happened to be Fish. They aren't together anymore - but I'm glad that his name stuck in my head.


Dead Rapper Decks

Several months ago - my favorite art news/inspiration website Fecalface.com - took questions from visitors to their site to ask Jeremy Fish. And they picked mine! Here is the vid in case you missed it.

Rotten Luck.

The day has come.

The day to get this meth-head lookin tooth out of my dang face.



I chickened out this morning. See, I have to go to this really ghetto joint - I have no insurance - and bring proof of income and blah blah blah. They usher you back to this cubicle with suspiciously vintage equipment (which in any other situation would simply delight you). A dentist-type person comes in, hastens you backwards in the green vinyl chair with assuages that you'll be fine. The only comfort is that it is almost the worst thing you'll have to go through and it might be over soon.

Here is the song I'm using as a calming potus for the ears:

Songs my Great Grandad wrote.

A big chunk of my personal possessions consists of old pictures and misc. documents from generations of our family. I don't have much family left - and certainly no one else interested in preserving and sharing these things. This is the very start of a long sorting process. For interesting finds like these - I'm really stoked to put them on the internet.

The following are copyright documents for songs written by my Great Grandfather nearly 100 years ago. I would love to hear these songs. I wonder if he was ever able to record.

My friend, Flickr: Best Photostream of the Month - Snailbooty!

I don't know Snailbooty. I only know this person as my absolute favorite Flickr contact. I rely on Flickr to keep me pumped with as much inspiration as I can see with two eyes. You'll often find me with tunes playing and a Flickr slideshow rolling on the screen. Talk about beating the hell out of TV.

I'm going to start posting my favorite photostream slideshows from my contacts every month. And if you want to stare at something other than reruns of The Family Guy and horrible, horrible reality shows (The Hills makes me pray for apocalypse) - watch this slideshow! And if you like it, say so, stupid.
