Another Pagan Holiday the Christians Stole


Now Playing: "Halloween" by The Misfits (1981)

HALLOWEEN mp3
Bonfires burning bright
Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember Halloween
 
Dead cats hanging from poles
Little dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween
 
Brown leafed vertigo
Where skeletal life is known
I remember Halloween
 
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween
 
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
 
Candy apples and razor blades
Little dead are soon in graves
I remember Halloween
 
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember 
 
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
 
 
HALLOWEEN II mp3
Formulae ueteres exorsismorum et excommunicationum
Strigas et fictos lupos credere
 
Daemon pellem lupinam
In trunco quodam cauae
Arboris occultandum
 
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
 
Metamorphoses lycanthropie
Possunt inquam
Metamorphoses lycanthropie
Possunt inquam
 
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
 
The above is nonstandard Latin. Translation:
 
     "Ancient formulas of exorcisms and excommunications
      that witches and those made wolves believe
      I maim now the demon clothed in wolfskin
      Having to hide in the hollow of a tree
      I believe that they so can be changed."

It’s Great Work-Out Music

Now Playing: "Wasted Again" by Turbonegro

After a little spat with the wife I decided to grab 3 shit CD’s and head to Amoeba to sell them. Once there I got $13 in store credit, just enough for 1 record. I knew it had to count…didn’t wanna waste it on a reissue or EP. Unfortunately I didn’t have my list with me and subsequently my mind went blank. So I searched the used bins for awhile and came across some worthy contenders, that is, until I remembered that there was a huge gapping hole in the “T” section of my collection. I knew what I had to buy….

I was hoping Turbonegro’s new disc, Party Animals, was going to be a return to Apocalypse Dudes and less like Scandinavian Leather (which wasn’t bad, just not as good as their previous efforts). Well, it seems Party Animals is a mix of both albums- 50% punk rock n’ roll terror + 50% glam rock horror, but all with a Norwegian twist. Anyway, I like it more than Scandinavian Leather and Epitaph are a bunch of ass clowns for not releasing it. Luckily for us, Abacus Recordings stepped in to spread the new gospel of Turbonegro all across America. I guess the band wasn’t moving enough units for those “punk rock” executives at Epitaph…’cause you know it’s all about the numbers. Fuck ‘em.

Anyway, the CD comes with a DVD of singer Hank Von Helvete showing us how to work out in the gym. Yeah, that was kind of amusing, but I think a DVD with new Turbonegro videos and gay sex acts would have been money better spent. Save that work out crap for the website.

Tournament of Hearts


Now Playing: "Love in Fear" by The Constantines

Just a quick post on the new Constantines album, Tournament of Hearts. I think their last record was fantastic and from what I hear this new one won't bum anyone out. Is that really the album art? It's almost as bad as that pink Sunny Day Real Estate record. I guess the terrorists won...Check out Sub Pop's record release page here, where you can also download the song that's currently seducing your virgin ears. Check them out when they come through your township. Here in L.A. they're playing at the

Lazy Sunny Afternoon

After getting into a shouting match with some ass-clown car salesman, the wife and I decided to take things easy yesterday afternoon....start hazy dreamlike flashback....Back in college I was preparing for a life as a photojournalist, but as I approached graduation I got scared. Afraid that I wasn't gonna be able to survive as a photographer, I got an internship at a major record label and decided to make a living with my other passion, music. Of course after a year I realized that the music industry was a sinking ship that was never gonna sail again (and that industry people are scum), so I moved on to greener pastures. But I always regretted not taking that chance with photography (cautiousness is my best/ worst characteristic).....hazy flashback disappears as we slowly come back to the present....So yesterday I grabbed the camera and decided to start shooting again. I hope this spark of creativity will light a fire under my ass and get me to do what I love again.
