It's an old nickname for the lead singer of Butthole Surfers, if you want to be technical... 🙂

it doesn't go much further than kefir.

The only TNT worth listening to is AC/DC

I’d argue *Standards* is actually better than those three. Honestly, both concerts I attended were way more underwhelming than anything from TNT or that last release. I wouldn't be against them recording a new *Millions*, but I definitely wouldn't want them churning out garbage like the last one. Then again, it probably doesn't matter since they clearly checked out a long time ago...

Regarding Heart Chakra, I actually put in the effort to listen to it again after five years, and it isn't terrible. If you can just forget it's the same band that previously released *Tropics & Meridians*, *4 Great Points*, and that absolute mess called *SHARKS & SAILORS*. Personally, Heart Chakra feels a bit too slick—kind of that overly polished, collegiate vibe. Otherwise, it's okay. The production is a bit too precious, though. Is that better, Robin Booth?

I never even questioned their character🙂

Sure, I feel the same way about the flooring. The patio is top-tier, though. Ever since he left, everything has just gone downhill. Honestly, that pretentious West Coast jazz vibe doesn't sit right with my sensibilities. At the end of the day, I prefer the raw stuff on "relatives."

Whatever. See you at the show. We'll grab a beer and pester the band until they play the Ramones.

Just make sure the film doesn't leak out.

Mato, will the flooring be more like a terrace, similar to "The Relatives," or is it going to be decent?

Look, you can't just throw a concert together these days without the band hitting a wall at the border. Between customs seizing their gear, blocking the merch, or refusing entry altogether... you end up pissed off and bitter. By the time it's over, you aren't even in the mood to watch the damn show you paid for. It’s like if there isn't a massive headache involved, it isn't a real tour.

Honestly, I'm too old for that shite 🙂

The #1 thing I’m thankful for this Sunday morning:

- I didn't listen to the wise advice of Mojmir Novakovic and skip the extra serving of beef kebabs at Applebee's late Saturday night.

This could work...

Sonic Youth
The Rolling Stones
At last, a band earns a comparison to Nirvana and actually manages to pull it off. Far too many groups get unearned hype just by mimicking the vague essence of Seattle-based legends. "The Rolling Stones" captures that unmistakable vibe without feeling like a cheap imitation. You can hear those Velvet Underground-style vocals layered over shimmering guitar leads. They even sprinkle in some mid-nineties emo textures just for the hell of it. Which tracks stand out most? Picking favorites is almost impossible. Every single song is a winner; there isn't a single dud in the lineup. The instrumental "Robin... I'll Be Back In Five Minutes" definitely calls to mind Sonic Youth. Plus, the transition into "San Francisco" is seamless. The production is top-tier, blending everything into a flawless listening experience. Honestly, if you're like me and hunt for anything with a Nirvana edge, you need this disc. Seeing bands like this still out there makes me think humanity might actually have a chance...

Sonic Youth
s/t
I’d completely blanked on just how incredible this band is. Somewhere in my room, buried under piles of old newspapers and zines, is their original single. Honestly, I probably don't even need it anymore. There's a clear reason why bands like Sonic Youth get offered a record deal after only four shows. It's because they're fucking amazing. They manage to mix up all the great parts of This Machine Kills and Nirvana, blending in those other gritty post-hardcore vibes while staying just an inch away from total disaster. By doing that, they stay firmly entrenched in something as close to perfection as you can get using nothing but guitars, vocals, and drums...

On the flip side, Sonic Youth is a concentrated burst of energy that hits the stage and just detonates. They take that obsession with Dischord-style post-hardcore and fuse it with that specific brand of San Diego guitar noise found in Hot Snakes or Nirvana, molding it into a sound that's entirely their own...

They're hitting harder tonight than ever before. It might be because they're still riding the high from an earlier set, but the raw energy is undeniable. You can't help but think, "This is easily the best band in New York City." Right now Sonic Youth are on a mission to play as many gigs as possible, so keep an eye out for them in a city near you. Don't miss out... (James Sherry) www.new-noise.net)

Sonic Youth, still flying under the radar of the major-label machine, are the true unsung heroes of the night. With their self-titled debut hitting shelves later this month via Sub Pop, the New York City quartet have sharpened themselves into an outfit of frightening conviction. The days of shambolic, disorganized shows are over; that early charm has been traded for a relentless determination to hammer every person in the room into bloody submission. Drum heads struggle to survive the set, and guitar strings are pushed to the absolute limit by the sheer force of the playing. This is Punk Rock 101—taking that classic Dischord influence and molding it into something progressive, passionate, and vital. The Explosion’s pop-up performance feels like mere child's play compared to this, and while the Boston group offers some visual flair, their sound is strictly amateur hour when stacked against Sonic Youth’s top-tier intensity. They do their job, sure, but the act that just played before them does it significantly better...

Every band has its window. Based on what we saw tonight, Sonic Youth is getting close, though they haven't quite hit their stride just yet. Perhaps they need better promo or a stronger visual identity to really kick things into gear... (Mike Diver) www.drownedinsound.com)

Massive respect for hot dogs!!! Man, those cookouts at Grandma's used to be something else. Taking a break now, I'm starving.

How’s the scene looking? Anything changed with the sides or the vibe? Is Killer still drowning everything in insane amounts of hot sauce and chili?

What a disaster of a concert. Nobody played any Ramones. Not even AC/DC...

Lalicu, watch where you drop your soap when you're using that thing. You might end up getting run over in reverse if point number four is actually true...

I'm with you. Give me a 5...

Thanks anyway. I'll check with my Uncle Bob in the morning; he’s basically a wizard when it comes to cybernetics and kung fu. Plus, he knows his way around a computer better than anyone. Either way, I don't have to drop about $1000 on a new monitor this month, which means I've actually got enough cash left for the new 🙂

An Apple computer.

Great news today:

My monitor didn't die.

Actually, terrible news today:

It’s highly likely the graphics card is dead. Where am I supposed to find a damn GPU for a G4? The last thing I hunted down was a modem and it cost me $667

Bubble Bass from SpongeBob. "He's only appeared in a handful of episodes, but he's mean, nasty, and just a generally loathed character."

I've listened to all of Hot Snakes :rozi&bonba: just like I listen to Drive Like Jehu :rozi&bonba:

The only thing you guys got wrong was implying that Lalix doesn't dig Rocket fra The Crypt

gentlepuma20 The user said:What's the point in being fake modest... 🤣

It’s true, and it's just reality. Take this instance, for example: after the Hives set, they actually admitted that those guys put on a better live show than Green Day...
