I tried.
I tried so hard.
I failed the black march shit. I had to get The Modern Lovers. It just HIT me the other day. It (The Modern Lovers) was something I was SUPER into right before my 'puter took a big shit about 6 months ago and I never got around to re-acquiring.
My good dude/buddy/friend Jack got me into them. (Side note- He's in the goddamn army now, not because he really wanted to be there, but because he felt everything he was too familiar with was bullshit and redundant; he needed something new.)
Anyway, Jack's a great person. If you know him, you know. Wish him luck.
Anyway...he called me a few days ago (stationed down in Texas now)...we talked for a good long time. It was that sort of bitter-sweet conversation which happens.
Super glad to hear from you.
Super glad to catch up.
Super miss you.
Probably won't see you for 3 years.
Anyways...(I'm a bit rambley) he called a a little bit ago and I've been thinking about this shit that he got me into. It's real good shit. Talking to him made me think about this, which made me think about how I need it again, which I've been putting off the urge to get again until now.
...It may have not been the entirety of March, but I also didn't do anything the last week of February...does that count?
Anyhoo...(again)
Alot of people know this person from Farrelly Brothers movies. Mainly: There's Something About Mary and (I'm pretty sure he has a few songs in) Me, Myself and Irene. (I didn't fact check that one. Tell me I'm wrong, I probably am.)
This is the first Modern Lovers song I listened to with Jack. (That I can remember.)
P.S.-My bathroom door has a picture of 6 year old Jack, totally nude, taking a shit on it.
"Where's your bathroom?"
"Upstairs. It's the one with the child-shit-fetish porno picture on it."
P.P.S.-I went into this post with some semblance of direction, but beer hit me in the midst of it. Fuck You. Listen to The Modern Lovers.
P.P.P.S.-Jack's a good guy. Drink one for him.

I'm Starting To Get Hair In Real Funny Places.
...alright, sorry about that last one.
Here's the one everyone knows and love...
Plus there's some Sam Cooke in the background noise.

Black March.
I'm going to do my best to get behind this.
I feel like I have too much music anyway, so not downloading tunes shouldn't be a problem.
I must admit, I have been buying movies. Only because my video store is going out of business, and we have a lot of really hard to find stuff for real cheap.
Coincidentally, right before I found out the store was going out, I was preparing a small rant about Netflix and the ridiculous profits they pull in.
Maybe when I'm finally out of a job (in a few weeks here.) I'll get around to that.
Anyway, what I was getting at with this: I'm still going to post some good bands/movies, but I'm not going to give links for free album downloads. I'll leave it up to you to seek these things out, if you feel like it.
Soooo, Truckfighters on Saturday in Dayton was Great. All of the bands delivered. Sound quality was great. (I've had a few shows ruined by shitty sound guys/gals.)
Grand Mammoth, Neon Warship (whom I had seen once before), and The Midnight Ghost Train.
Only complaint: The crowd fuckin' SUCKED.
This isn't sucking on the usual level of being nit-picky and calling out false representers...
Like I said, these bands KILLED it fucking dead, but except for Truckfighters, hardly anyone even clapped after a performance.
Even if I don't like a band, I'll still applaud for putting themselves up there and giving it a go.
Common Fuckin' Courtesy.
Not to mention every half-assed attempt at a conversation I happened to overhear was a completely self involved exihibit of jack-offery.
Bottom line is:
Dayton crowd: BULLSHIT. (From my experience.)
Midnight Ghost Train from Kansas: Rad. (They make hot suace, it's dee-lish.)
Neon Warship: Dayton, good and getting better.
You: Quit It.

Two Johns and a Dave.
I was planning on writing some stuff about my feelings about the horror genre (primarily movies) and this and that...but fuck it.
Bottom line is I've seen a lot of documentaries about horror movies, more specifically, American horror movies, and something that these documentaries almost always touch upon is the "social commentary" of horror in the 60's and 70's.
This link gives you a pretty well done (actually the best I've seen on the subject.) IFC movie about that era, and the most important (or at least with the most to say) writers/directors of that time.
The American Nightmare
Here's some more fun. It's on the Criterion release of Videodrome. Three dorks in three parts. Plain and simple.

Melt, Cry, Sleep.
An extremely recent find for me, but I was pretty floored by this album.
At first glance, I though the band name was pretty lame, thankfully the cover made me a bit more intrigued.
Buildings-Melt, Cry, Sleep
I went in pretty blind, being sold on the cover and album title, I didn't know what it would sound like.
I think it's kinda a more testosterone driven Steve Albini hanging out with Unsane.
I'm too lazy to fuck with mediafire, but thanks to google bringing this up as the top search result....Black Insect Laughter has it for you. According to them, the record company told them to up it. Double Neat.
Because everyone needs a little David Koresh from time to time.

I Cannot...
Talk up this band enough.
In all the videos I've seen, the singer is stoic-as-fuck behind everything until he starts screaming his pubes off.
Shhhiiiitt.
These are a few of the top image search results under "Suma band sweden"
This is what should come up...
S/T
...Just kidding, that picture WAS in the top search results...
Asses....
...I mean Ashes.
I reaaaallllyyy wish this band would come near me so I could see them live.

Follow The Falcon.
Opening with something completely unrelated to what the rest of this post is going to be about:
I've been listening to a lot of Mysterious Universe over the past few weeks.
Two dudes talking about weird stuff. The hosts generally start with strange happenings, which are pretty recent and plausible, followed by much stranger, farther fetched shit. Interesting and entertaining at the least.
Coast to Coast type shit...but they're Australian! They have cool accents to make it more engaging.
Musicshits.
Peregrine. I caught this band playing a house show a few years ago. I remember talking to a couple of these guys before they played (and before I had become too thunderously drunk.) and thinking how super-fucking nice they were. I remember specifically talking at length about the Animal Liberation Front, the ELF, and other groups akin to those; I had watched a documentary not much more than a couple of prior to seeing these dudes, so topics were still fresh in my mind. I think it was Your Mommy Kills Animals, but i could be mistaken. (I have a problem with retaining documentary info for prolonged periods of time.)
What these dudes are all about is primitivism, (I think that's a word.) living off the land, in the woods, hunter-gatherer type stuff and green-anarchism. Super Eco-friendly mentality. Tree-hugging stuff.
Next thing I remembered was the guys rocking my balls off. I was really into their set.
As I stated above, I ended up being pretty shit-hammered, and I have a habit of thinking things sound a lot better than I normally would if alcohol were not a factor.
After the show, I got a patch and and talked to the dudes a little more. They gave me a zine. I forget the title, so I suppose it's irrelevant, but I know my roommate and I were really into the publication, whatever it was. Topics the zine covered were primarily what I said earlier about primitivist living, green-anarchy, etc.
Anyway, a couple years have passed and I've frequently tried to remind myself to actually check them out again.
I did.
And I'm still pretty into it.
They are a self described "Green Metal" band. Black/death type shit with anarcho-eco-loving themes. Kinda crusty kid shit.
(I'm amending this post by putting one of the better tracks (in my opinion)on display. Most likely no person has seen this yet, so it probably doesn't matter...)
Check It Out.
Green Scare Benefit split with Auryn
Here's the other band on the Green Scare Benefit split.
Auryn is post-hardcorey-something or another. (I think I'm going to add "post" in front of every genre description for bands I put on here from now on.)
Solid enough. Worth a listening or three. My only complaint is about some vocals on the very last track. Waaaayy to whiney at points. What-ever. Good otherwise.

Now Is The Time For You To Pay Close Attention...Do Not Be Afraid...You Are Dying.
It's been a couple weeks since I've posted, not that it matters much. I think there's only about 3 people who read this.
News: The Video Store I work at is officially closing. We're in the process of selling everything on the cheap. It's a major bummer. It had a good run (34 years) but at least we stuck it out as long as possible. It's dying a breed. We are/were one of the last. Fuck you internet.
Watched Slow Southern Steel. Dig.
Now onto some tunes...
Lvmen is a band from the Czech Republic. Pretty neat post-rock-metal-stuff, if you're into that sort of thing.
At points in this album I can't help but think it's sounds a little like if Neurosis got SUPER fucked up and jammed in the Desert Sessions. There is another spot specifically on the album that sounds (in my opinion) a little like the Castlevania soundtrack on quaaludes and cough syrup.
Mondo.
Next.
Suma is a Swedish bad I've been listening to frequently for some time now. Early on in their career they were playing mid-tempo stoner-groove stuff. As time went on, they got slower and slower. Badass all around.
I posted this early on. The link done got dead. So here it is again.
Let the Churches Burn.

Who's Gonna Love You...Now That No One...Can Penetrate Yooooouuuh-uuu!?
Guhff. I got nothing in my stomach except 3 talls of the beast.
So here's another. Second post in... an hour? I think?
How 'bout some rockin' rollin' ass-shakin' tunes?
Yeah?
At least until Mediafire gets shut-the-fuck down like Megaupload in the vise-grip choke hold of good ol' Government regulation.
But for now...
BRONX!
Get Drunk.
I have very fond memories of Myself and Brett AKA Grimmdale, when we lived together, being shitty on Old Crow and driving to the nearest Wal-Mart (which was a good 30 minutes away.) blasting this album on the ride at 3 in the morning.
Shake Yer Ass.
Second album. A few songs are passable, but there are a couple that give me chills.
Choice Tracks:
Histories Stranglers
Mouth Money
Three Dead Sisters
Also.
I saw These dudes last night. Ride To Ruin.
I live in the same fucking city as they do, and I don't know how I have not heard them until now.
They just about blew my nuts off live.
I must say, live sound quality is WAAAYYY better than recording. There's a deepness to the two guitars that doesn't translate very well onto record.
Dis-Motor-Snake?
Goat-Head-Charge?
You Decide.

(I paid cover charge and bought a patch and CD from these dudes. I spent food-money on this shit, you should too if you get the chance. They deserve it.)
The Moving Pictures...
Unfortunately, this is NOT about a Rush tribute band.
MOVIES!
Got my hands on a Criterion copy of Haxan: Witchcraft Through The Ages
Also snagged a copy of Dark Waters.
...A few things I watched this past week.
Most previews and synopsis I have read for this documentary do not do it justice. (Hah.)
I begins by shedding light on the "frivolous lawsuit" epidemic in the 90's and the media spin/misinformation surrounding them.
About one third of the way through it shifts focus onto the corruption/corrosion of the judiciary system. Some pretty tip-of-the-iceberg shit, but interesting stuff.
An Unreasonable Man
Dr. Brazil told me about a section from this movie where Nader gets shut out from attending a presidential debate as an audience members.
The movie is totally worthwhile. Learn about how much this dude has done, and been shit-on nonstop for most, if not all of it.
Tabloid
Hooooollleeeeeyyy Shit. This woman was/is fucking nuts.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PILE-O-SHIT.
What a miserable heap this was. I'm not quite sure why I subjected myself this brain-rape bullshit excuse for a "comedy."
Maybe it's because I still hold out a little hope for the Farrelly Brothers who have made some pretty great shit.
Example:
...Or maybe it's because I have a soft spot for Jason Sudeikis...
I dunno man...
Where was I? Oh yeah. Fuck Hall Pass I what I was saying.

What's That? You could seriously get KILLED for playing this shit? And you did it anyway?...uh huh...
Thanks to my lady-friend having a giant lady-boner for all things Eastern-european, (Way to go to college for "anthropoly", or what-ever.) she's turned me onto some pretty rad shit from that pocket of the world; music, film, etc.
A little over a year ago she (the lady), in one of her first attempts to interact with me, handed me a mix CD and said "I think you'd be into this."
On the mix was various artists celebrating one band, with original tracks from said band thrown in to make it about 50/50. Half covers, half original... anyway...
Bottom line is, that band was PATARENI. One of the first "grind" bands according to some people. Starting in (roughly) '83, and still going from what I understand. These dudes began tearing ass in what used to be Yugoslavia, and is now Croatia. Before the Iron Curtain fell, what they were doing was truly balls-y. Not only musically but politically, considering the time and place.
Ranging from straight punk to some pretty weirdo shit, I'd highly suggest checking out all of what they've done. For right now, what I'm putting up is a few from 89-91. (I think.)
Also, there's a good deal of side projects from the members. I haven't looked into any. Just so you know.
Deadland Massacre.
Patareni's contribution.
Atta's songs.
I split this up, but be sure to give Atta a listen. It's pretty no-brain noise-nonsense, but opening with "Yes it's true. I raped Jesus. I raped raped that greedy little bastard. Etc." is something EVERYONE should hear.
Odavde nas niko nemre sterat.
Ukor Pred Iskljucenje.
Have fun.

Trust Me, I'm A Professional.
I'm on a sudden kick of weird shit.
Get Some.
Firstly...
Suzy Banyon decided to perfect her ballet studies in the most famous school of dance in Europe. She chose the celebrated academy of Freiburg. One day, at nine in the morning, she left Kennedy airport, New York, and arrived in Germany at 10:40 p.m. local time.
Secondly...
I know, Feck. Women are evil, you had to kill her.
Thirdly...
Japanese Softcore/exploitation actress singing (but mostly moaning) to some nice background music.
Lastly...
I have NO idea why, but last night at about 3 in the morning, while sitting drunk at the computer, THIS comes to mind.
COMPLETELY out of nowhere.
I remember being into it about a decade ago.
Turns out, I still like it.
So....fuck you.
Make yourself a gin-based mix drink & shake yer ass around.
Side note. These links aren't from my own mediafire-shits. If something goes wrong, I am not to blame. Just hit me up and I'll re-up it.

Down The Lane(gan)
My adoration for Mark Lanegan has roots firmly planted in an approximately 10 year child version of myself stealing/borrowing The Screaming Trees' "Sweet Oblivion" from my brother and playing the fuck out of the album and soaking it into my earholes like it was the last time I was ever going to hear it.
Many years passed, I grew into a snot-nosed adolescent, got into bad metal...then bad punk...and I didn't really give that stupendous album a second thought. Though, midway through my highschool career, Czar Nicholas over at Little Things tossed "Methamphetamine Blues" by the Tree man himself, Mark Lanegan, onto one of the first (of many) mixes he made for me.
Rekindling my love for such a stupendous voice, I've been hooked on practically all things Lanegan since.
Here's a comp I tossed together of some of my favorite stuff. Trees, solo, collaborations...
Grab a full pack o' smokes, a cheap bottle of whiskey, light one, knock back a few slugs, and listen.
By the end, you may have an itch on the roof of your mouth that needs to be scratched with a bullet.
Down The Lane(gan)
Also...I collected a bunch of minor collaborations, b-sides, and one offs from various comps.
You may need to sort the shit out for yourself (order-wise), but it's a decent amount. You're welcome.
Odds and Ends.

Two Words
Sam Fucking Cooke.
Round about 5 in the morning on Sunday, with all the drunken eloquence I could muster, I tried my hardest to explain to Doctor Brazil the plethora of reasons as to why Sam Cooke rules. Mostly what came out was "...died real young...naked...shot by hotel lady...only one shoe! Naked man, naked...CUPID." Then some stuff about Bobby Darin was tossed in, which I'm sure I'll get to at a later date.
SO HERE.
Selftitled.
Encore.
