that would be fine. i don't mind things that are larger. I'd rather that then skin tight leotard style. Thank you though for the thought! if you could help me out with that the best place to send it would be to my fathers where i can meet him and pick it up.. Ryan Uellendahl, 349 East Beech Street, Long Beach, 11561. I can hustle up the money for whatever the postage cost..

also, i know i'm upping the bum and mooching factor but on another note my cell phone was in there as well so if anyone has an extra verizon phone they don't use anymore that would be helpful as fuck

although i doubt a single person here has even the slightest smidgen of respect for the man I enjoy GG Allins cover of the rolling stones Dead Flowers

also this acoustic country song/cover, pick me up on your way down by Charlie Walker (originally), is another great cover..

so if anyone can donate any clothes whatsoever it would help. i literally just have the clothes i was wearing that day. my phone was in it, books, a lifetimes worth of band shirts i've been collecting not to mention my favorite leather jacket, all my winter coats, shoes, boxers.. fucking everything.. anything would help. even a pair of socks.

god i feel like such a fucking bum. i'm sorry to ask something like this

So this thing was gettin some serious back and forth action going on a buddies facebook.

It said to rate the members as a Beatle, solo albums and as humans.

Here's a sample exmple:

As Beatles :
Paul > George > John > Ringo
Solo albums :
George > Paul > John > Ringo
As Humans :
George > Paul > Ringo > John

So overall :
George > Paul > John > Ringo

I have a tendency to elborate. Here was my insightful contribution..
Beatles.. 1) John  (call me cliche but working class hero, god, mother? And those were only after his tenure in the world's best band). He was punk rock and dressed as a teddy boy (english greaser) , knocking back speed pills with the beer he got paid in to play a dive  pubs in a subterranean liverpool. He knew love and its cruel bedfellow loss (we all do but some cant cope as efficiently) and wrote the more acidic,sardonic, pummeling musically and vocally songs in the repetoire. Accentuated the more wholesome flawless mccartney pop song, who for his part chipped away some of the edges off johns and brought to focus the jagged edges and damaged ferocity seething below perfect, PERFECT pop songs.He wanted to stay in bed for days and fuck and say fuck the man so him and yoko did so. He wandered the east village when it was dirty and dangerous and got hooked on and subsequently quit smack cold turkey. He would have loved rap, I imagine earliest afrika bimbata to public enemy. He wrote imagine. Actually if I'm using that I could say he wrote (insert any song of his here? His progression was continuous. Whether it was taking acid and laying a vague blue print for anti-folk (well that's what a lot of rubber soul sounds like to me,) or incorporating innovative new psychology methods at the time, primal screaming, which disemboweled a song, leaving a putrid, beautiful, gory mess on the somber ground below. He howled for his mother. Didn't believe or want Jesus Christ to save him even if he was real. He died the same day as Darby crash. Punk
(Fav solo- John Lennon and plastic ono band?

2) George- flawless guitar shreddage. Even his open chords were "face melters". I could attempt to play a simple D chord everyday until i die and never perfectly match his, its as if he transcended music, learned it in a language format and speaks it all seraphim-esque. His fingers, as if a spider, spun around the neck crafting a beautiful web sweet from morning due and honeysuckle.. here comes the sun? Blackbird? Norwegian wood? And your bird can sing? Yes, i could go on.Went from these ballads and soul transmitter radio frquency tracks to fucking rippers..helter skelter sounds like proto-metal to me with it's thunderous assault and like always, with every song and this is key to why hes one of my favorite guitarists.. just enough notes at just the right time. Never excessive shredding just for the fuck of it to show he can (and indeed he can. For example see the guitar solo at the end of The Taxman) and get some muff, but hes also never too subdued. It helps to listen with headphones. Precise, biting little riffs stringing chords together. And I want you (she's so heavy)? On the second half thats proto-stoner metal/doom with that haunting riff drenched and deep fried in lysergic acid, pummeling onward, like the dead forever walking because they cant except death and dunno what else to do. Black cats crossing paths and strutting down a highway length piano with black lava keys. As you can see it makes me think, dream, have visions. it's rare notes on an axe resonate and are equally if not more catchy than some lyrical vocal patterns but the man's responsible for tracks I've had stuck in my head about 28 years
(Fav solo- all things must pass)

3) Paul- a tremendous presence and embodiment of the more saccharine elements/poppier sentiments, was perfect for sparring musically with Lennon. While I used to be frustrated by them signing lennon/McCartney for every fucking song,  now I see the reason. The combination is a separate entity from its collected counter parts. The visceral and turbulent songs wouldn't have the same attention demanding and awe inducing effect if not layered between songs that are the musical embodiment of beauty..Venus de Milo, Joan of arcs strength at the stake, liberation from the death camps of the 40s and the castrating,crippling, clausthobic paranoid 50s, or, hell, I'll let the Beatles speak for themselves, songs about wanting to hold your hand".
(Fav solo- ramm)
4) ringo- ha, fuckkkiin ringo. Pitifully easy cheap shots aside the man did his job. Held a perfect beat, through in sparse and seldom yet memorable and awesome fills. Also I haven't been able to get yellow submarine or octopuses garden out of my head for almost 28 years

ha this is me you're talking to. i'm the master of incredibly long explainations/rants/etc.
that's awesome! so cute and cuddly. they are my favorite breed. my ex had one and the cat would let me pick her up and squeeze her and make her dance and do pretty much whatever i desired and i could tell by looking at her face sometimes that she was thinking "oh god when is this asshole gonna be finished and get this shit over with so i can go back to lounging like the princess i am" 

sweet silly kitty :)   is it a mancoon?

I'd be shitting bricks. But I'm one fucking anxious dude

the genre had a tendency to be formulaic, repetitious, redundant, etc (as do almost all genres). However, I've always liked the bands that threw in a unique twist of their own..

essential mix of hardcore punk/classic rock/mad man vocals (went on to make drastically different sounding music, but not in a "sell-out manner", more a creative evolution)

ridiculous. disgusting. absurd. awesome.

steely dan/CCR influenced punk rock. unwavering in their d.i.y. ethics. by all accounts awesome dudes.

the singer Doc Corbin Dart, changed his name to 26 and lives in caves and renounced swearing. Also, pretty much everything single Styrofoam cup you find anywhere whatsoever says Dart on it, which is his families company.  They weren't too happy that he decided to play in a ridiculous punk rock band called The Crucifucks and I believe had nothing to do with him.

this little ditty (Crocodile Rock) was an Elton john track. He wrote it as a throw-back to 50's/60's early rock n roll type tracks and it was further reinterpreted by trash punk rocknrollers, The Joneses, swimmingly..

i think it's all awesome and beautiful and amazing.

Unless you're playing a show and you do a crowd-pleasing cover, I don't see the point in recording a cover song that's a note for note, identical carbon copy of the original. Why bother?

That being said, here's some of my favorite cover songs done with a unique twist


John Frusciante (of a little band you may have heard of called The Red Hot Chili Peppers) did an awesome version of Bad Brains Big Take Over. It was recorded on his seminal solo album. He was in a dark place, struggling with a full blown cocaine and heroin addiction. I saw a short arthouse/documentary type thing from this era that just filmed him nodding off on his couch in some shitty room he was renting and to say it was in a state of squalor is almost an understatement. I've been told by reliable sources that the majority of his solo stuff is gold (doesn't matter how you feel about his band. This stuff is abstract, weirdo, dare i say brilliant? , type of outsider music. I've only really listened to this solo record though, which is called Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt.

------------------------------

The Meat Puppets aren't for everyone. Especially this first album. Personally I think it's brilliant. but brilliance for me in this case entails unintelligible lyrics by acid casualty weirdo punks who started playing shows in the 80s hardcore scene and wore tye-dye and listened to equal parts Grateful Dead and Die Kruezen. Creedence Clearwater and Crucifucks. They're second album after this one is my personal favorite (and most peoples). It has all those songs that Nirvana covered and most people don't even realize their meat puppets tracks (plateau, lake of fire, oh me). But the early stuff really resonates with me. 80's hardcore drenched in LSD. Here's one of the slower tracks and it's an interesting, for lack of a more apropos word, cover.

this one is super old but it's one of my favorite pictures someone ever took of me



PLAYGIRL CENTERFOLD

For example, Carrie Nations was mentioned as one of somebody's favorite PiX releases in the other thread.  I never checked that out.  It's long out of print now and so underground that there aren't any used copies of the album online that I can find.  Also, it's not on the PiX bandcamp site to download.  I have no idea how to ever check out that album now.

Just now saw this so I'm super late, but the entire "Be Still" album is on youtube.

here's 5 songs on bandcamp, though not from the PIX release https://carrienations.bandcamp.com/

so good

Sweet. I want some

Anyone make their own? I'm more of a writer but I love the format and medium so much I make crude attempts at drawing, lettering,etc. If anyone cares I could post some of my shit and vica versa in regards to other comic nerds/creators

I was big into korn, limp bizkit, creed, all that horrendous music when I was like eleven or twelve. Right around Woodstock 99..


Actually yeah, I think woodstock 99 was the worst moment in music history

I honestly don't understand why people are still in "wait and see, maybe he won't be the same person he always is!"philosophy at this point.  His cabinet appointments/considerations are straight up fucking frightening, there are no checks and balances now that every single aspect of the government is Republican, including the Supreme Court soon enough, and presidents don't become less themselves once elected, they become more their true selves. And we've seen time and time again who Donald Trump is.

We don't really have the choice of a "wait and see" approach. If anything, the election has shown we need to be more proactive.

Truth

Sorry if I sounded harsh Ryan. You're right. You likely will be affected. As will almost everyone.

And yeah, Blake. Ughhh

It's all good, I knew what you meant. I wish the best for everyone and it's a pretty fucking frightening time for us all. I still can't believe he actually won. Life is ridiculous

all this..it's new ergs stuff (well not new, but the newest released thing which is a compilation of unreleased shit.. some cool covers (hunchback which is one of my favorite bands. It's got Mike Hunchback who i believe is still playing with screeching weasel for some weird reason that i have no idea how that happened), different versions of Ergs! classics.

https://theergs.bandcamp.com/

on the mellencamp issue, I have to disagree. I think a lot of his songs are brilliant. But that's what cool about life/message boards/etc.. get to see different perspectives..

I wanna say the Grateful Dead but they actually have some really good songs at the end of the day.. but they inspired some of the worst music ever..

at the moment (it changes from moment to moment), this is one of the worst.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3MXiTeH_Pg

honestly i have absolutely no idea what he's going to do. no one does. everything politicians propose before the actual election is complete bullshit to get votes. It sways from day to day. For all we know he might have just been playing everyone and might wind up being one of the best presidents we've ever had. i don't have a fucking clue so that's why i don't really say anything here too serious.

personally i wish the best for everyone. I really hope and pray the things he proposed don't actually come into fruition. That would be fucking catastrophic. I just get to caught up in conspiracy theories. I genuinely believe most of them. I'm either insane or on to something. So that's why I don't get into it serious on this particular thread, or any real political based ones.

but it would definitely effect me if there's truth to it. I'm a homeless drug addict living in a shelter on welfare waiting for my SSI to kick in because i'm diagnosed bi-polar, PTSD, depression/anxiety/Personality Disorder and all that. I was genuinely suicidal the other night and wound up in a psych ward and only got out so early was because there was complications with giving me my prescribed methadone and benzos (the average person could die from the mix. but i'm not the average person) . So if he's cutting welfare/drug programs/SSI (social security) /things of that nature, i'm gonna be out of my shelter and back to sleeping on trains and in gutters like I was before I got in. So I don't know. I really don't.

I know.

The real question is when will the reptilians reveal themselves and when will we be dragged to fema death camps..

I don't think anything will be different whatsoever. Life will still suck and make no sense and ultimately be meaningless because we're just dying since birth on a pitifully small rock floating in infinity
