From Mojo Magazine:

This is the sort of thing we need more of - I hope they don't end up shot down by the cops.

I'm listening to the Anthology cds - and still think you can't beat the sound of Cry For A Shadow, and those other early tracks.

Message from Mac: And:

Something positive:

Ryan's putting his videos on Youtube again.

Journey Through the Past (Wikipedia entry)

I have always wanted to see that movie. While he is at it - the dude should put the Journey Through The Past soundtrack and Times Fades Away out on cd.

According to the tape of the show, this is the setlist/order of songs played: 1. You Are My Face 2. War On War 3. Handshake Drugs 4. Jesus, etc. 5. Impossible Germany 6. Via Chicago 7. California Stars 8. Hate It Here 9. Walken 10. I'm The Man Who Loves You

I like Bruce Bruce (ha ha) - the last album was good I thought. This last tour they did was quite successful from what I have read. I never cared for Slayer, or any so-called thrash, except for Anthrax (although, they sort of lost me with all those comic book and movie themed songs).

I've talked about this before - and here it is: Adam Curry -Danzig Interview

Lefsetz's take on it:

He was just an emerging metal deity talking to a bunch of local street kids and metal head military dudes that day. Headbangers Ball was back on MTV 2. I don't know if it is now, as MTV 2 is gone from the channel line-up here where I live. Of course, from what I saw of it it was pretty much all that Nu Metal shit. It still is I see: I remember when Kevin Seal and then, Adam Curry, hosted it.

From Uncut Magazine

Caganers: figurines of defecating world leaders in Catalan nativity scenes The 'caganer' (literally 'defecator') is a feature of Catalan nativity scenes. The figure is usually tucked away in a corner of the model, far away from the manger itself, for children to find. The caganer represents fertility and equality.

I suppose I was thinking of the metalhead comedy routine I saw him do once.

That Metal Show (VH1 Classic.com) You can watch whole episodes of this show online. It is hosted by Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine, and Don Jamieson. I guess the format is borrowed from one of those ESPN sports shows. I wonder why they did not get Jim Breuer as a host. One of the episodes features Yngwie Malmsteen, who I met once, outside KNAC in Long Beach, CA., sometime in 1985.

All of their early cds needs re-mastered. The cd of Reckoning sounds like it was mastered off of a cassette tape or something.

Spectacle website Looks like there are clips, but not whole episodes. It could be that one could find whole episodes out there somewhere. The Sundance Channel should get their shit together and put whole episodes up there for people to watch.

The Pigpen tracks we talked about a while back were put up at bt.etree.org today.
