DAMN bitches! i missed the tlasila show last night... where was i? fuck! not in kentucky! i did see my friends play last night. they played with horse the band, a soCal band that did a sort of the locust + yes/party of helicopters + TOTAL FUCKING SCENE COMEDY. seriously, they got their pals to wear gym shorts to the show and they did pit aerobics to the JAMZ. it was both good and ironic funny. (especially since they played at this all ages venue in town full of bands who play similar music, but non-irononpatchical.

BUT DAMN ROFLMITES, i missed me some tilly-zilla!

* cries!

i missed the futureheads last week cause of law school.

ddb said it was the best show of his childhood!

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 13 September 2004 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

futureheads show was AWESOME FUN!

they don't have any ballads! It's 1..2..3..4...GO2! Punk Rock, trebly guitars and 4 part harmonies, or 3 parti harmonies with the drummer making weird barking noises.

I cry because I decided not to see V3 at the Cooler in early/mid 90s.

I don't think he would've minded.

― dean? (deangulberry), Monday, 13 September 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Still? Poor gygax!

I missed seeing Bea Arthur at the Helen Hayes Theater in Nyack a few years ago. She performed a few days after I was back out of the country.

― Holly Price (an appletross), Monday, 13 September 2004 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

ZING!

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 13 September 2004 19:08 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah its me

― Holly Price (an appletross), Monday, 13 September 2004 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Jaguar Ride only did one cover, Interstellar Overdrive. Was Lauren at either of Jaguar Ride's two live performances?

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 13 September 2004 19:55 (twenty-one years ago)

dude was the band name inspired by the email address inspired by the song?

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 13 September 2004 19:57 (twenty-one years ago)

HA!

― ddb (ddb), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

ha!

fact: the band existed BEFORE the email address.

fact: the band name was taken from the song Jaguar Ride.

fact: the band name was taken from the version of the song as performed by the Styrenes, which I've always preferred to the version by the Electric Eels, as much as it's heresy to say so.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

what is the Styrenes version on? I just know the Pagans version.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

The original Styrene's collection was on Homestead, called It's Artastic! And is great. It's been out-of=print but now there's a newer perhaps similar comp w/ more stuff or different stuff called It's Still Artastic!

Styrene's stuff is pretty underrated, really cool jazzy/arty Syd Barrett new wave, and the poetry stuff with Mike Hudson(pagans) can be great...All the Wrong People are Dying etc.

It's been said that perhaps the Poly Styrene Jas Band self-released 45 of Drano in Your Veins on Mustard Records is THE first punk/new wave record. Perhaps it is.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:10 (twenty-one years ago)

note: that Roir comp seems to have most if not all of what's on the Homestead CD, but a "new" version of I Saw You, inexplicably.

There's some cool stuff on the scat Those Were Different Times cle comp.

I'll burn it for you.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm sold... i've been eyeing that roir cd for a while at a local shop.
m.

― msp (msp), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I have All the Wrong People and the Hudson-Styrene record, like both of those, and the Those Were Different Times comp. Those are great.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

fitz still has my those were different times 10" set. i miss it.

re: styrenes version vs. electric eels version: dan is nuts. electric eels all the way. the styrenes make the song sound kind of wacky. more power to them, but not on my stereo.

then there's the back to junk version. anyone? selzer?

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

if I see it lying around Mighty Robot, I'll liberate it for you.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Was Lauren at either of Jaguar Ride's two live performances?

i don't think so. were you at the ray sisters' performance in peters hall?

xpost - i'll try to liberate that shit myself in berlin.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

oh I figured he might've left it here, with his ten bazillion other records.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

time will tell.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 13 September 2004 20:37 (twenty-one years ago)

the stuff on It's Artistic is really different from the other stuff, weirder then the poetry stuff, more consistent and poppy then the Those Were DIfferent Times comp. I'll burn it for you, just remind me next time we're in the same place, or come by my house sometime in the next few weeks.

back to junk happened after I graduated, for the most part. I've never even heard of the Ray Sisters.

The secret is thousands of Fitz's and Eric's records are literally under the "stage" of Mighty Robot.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 13 September 2004 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

the ray sisters were me and audr3y and j3ss1ca and r0b and nat3 and p3t3r and ashl3y and some other guy and t0mmy chung (?!). for some reason we were allowed to play 'sister ray' in the main hall of peters during commencement week, until someone got angry and yanked the power.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 13 September 2004 22:00 (twenty-one years ago)

ah yes, t0mmy.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 13 September 2004 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

we needed a last-minute fill-in on drums, bcz b. chase's parents picked him up a day early.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 13 September 2004 22:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I REGRET NOT BUYING THOSE WERE DIFFERENT TIMES AT THE TIME THAT THOSE WERE DIFFERENT TIMES CAME OUT. THE CD LOOKED SO ANNOYING.

I WANT IT NOW THO.

― ddb (ddb), Monday, 13 September 2004 22:21 (twenty-one years ago)

SHIT EBAY HAS ONE. IS IT WORTH BUYING IF YOU ALREADY OWN THE E. EELS STUFF?

ANYONE?

― ddb (ddb), Monday, 13 September 2004 22:34 (twenty-one years ago)

if memory serves me correctly, yes, the Styrenes and Mirrors stuff is all cool. It's got nuts and bolts in it as well. Lauren had the 10" version, I think.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 13 September 2004 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I KNOW, THE NUTS AND BOLTS THING IS ANNOYING...AND 10"ERS MAKE ME NUTS.

― ddb (ddb), Monday, 13 September 2004 22:42 (twenty-one years ago)

NUTS AND BOLTS = CLASSIC! It's cool! Have fun, man! The package is like, put together with nuts and bolts! They don't have glue in Ohio! Lauren sniffed it all up in high school. It's an industrial wasteland out there, drunk dudes in arty punk bands sitting around assembling Those Were Different Times sets with nuts and bolts all day long...

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 13 September 2004 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Mirrors stuff is great. Styrenes stuff is kind of odds and ends.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 13 September 2004 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

as i have said before, in certain ways cleveland is the promised land.

i don't have twdt now to check, but i think that the eels stuff on there might not be on at their organic majesty's request or the eyeball of hell thing. the annoying/great thing about them is that whenever a pricey new comp comes out, there's usually not much overlap with whatever you spent 25.99 on last year. and as dan says, it's worth it for the mirrors tracks alone.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 13 September 2004 23:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh god its totally worth worth it for the Eels stuff too, I think "Wreck And Roll" and "Splittery Splat" are 2 of their best songs and neither appear on Eyeball of Hell or Organic Majesties. Then there's also "You Crummy Fags" and the race-baiting live version of "Spinache Blasters". Also the Mirrors and Styrenes stuff is great.
