Black Flag

  For those of you following the daily carnage of Mog Wars 3, I've put together a little map over at NNDB.com that will explain the guilty parties, the deceased parties, and all those who have fallen to the black hand that is Control.  I'll speak no more, let my family pa for my misdeeds...

So in case y'all haven't noticed Converse is running an ad on our good old MOG for a contest aimed at musicians. "Get Out of the Garage" is a contest that's incredibly easy to enter. All you gotta do is submit one of your best songs, either online (http://www.getoutofthegaragemusiccontest.com/) or at a Journey's shoe store, now through Sept 15. I notice a ton of bands on MOG promoting themselves, so I know there's talent residing in MOG-land, and it sure ain't me. So get ... MORE

In case you haven't seen this, I had to post this. Via Beware of the Blog and Boing Boing

This was a big event at the time. There was actually an interesting scene in Cedar Falls, Iowa with bands on SST, Alternative Tentacles, Enigma stopping through between gigs in Chicago and Denver to play a little hole-in-the-wall bar called Dean's Parkade Lounge. The Black Flag show was held across the river in "The Boat House" on the scenic Cedar River. GONE performed early that day at Co-Op records to promote their new LP and the concert that afternoon. I remember th... MORE

Its a tragic story of loss of life , bad police work and innocence lost. Good takes on great punk rock. Rollins still has it and Dukowski is a bad bitch. no "Ginn though": http://21361.com/site/ecard/index.htmland its left as what it is , but Rollins explains the tribute/benefit album to be a ultimate sign of respect and compliment. Its good stuff , for new or old fans and if you purchase any album , it should be this one. You can grab good tunes and do a good deed... ... MORE

"Interviewing Henry is like hunting a tiger...you never know when they will turn and you will become the prey!" (Aired 10-19-85) Can't help but feel sorry for this kid; what a mess.

Another day, another mp3. Today, it's the best 51 seconds in punk rock history: Wasted by Black Flag. If I could, I would post four songs here, Nervous Breakdown, Fix Me, I've Had It and Wasted. That's the Nervous Breakdown ep, with Keith Morris on vocals (before he went on to form the Circle Jerks), and a more Platonic Ideal of SoCal punk rock does not exist. It's perfect, and the whole thing isn't five and a half minutes long. Wasted is the thrashing climax to the alb... MORE

I don't even have time to explain why...these past few weeks have been MEGA stress. I shouldn't even be taking time to write this...let's just say, when it rains it pours...aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggggg! Black Flag to the rescue!

Love this song, also pretty ironic that Henry Rollins is singing about a bunch of stuff he no longer does.

Greg Ginn rocks. That is all.

FEATURING A REVIEW OF THE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE SHOW WHICH INSPIRED THIS SONG!Director: Danny VinikFrom 1978 to 1982, Glenn O'Brien's groundbreaking public access cable TV program TV Party was the main face of the New York Art/New Wave/Punk scene. The main inspiration for TV Party was actually Hugh Hefner's live party TV show "Playboy After Dark". Glenn also threw in elements of Johnny Carson as well. His co-host was Chris Stein of Blondie. TV Party became an underground c... MORE

...well, I'm "going berzerk--all right!"...getting ready to go out and buy a new MacBook but I hate shopping...also, I've been getting tips from a "MacHead" homegirl from long distance re: what's good for me and what I do...fuggit, I think I'll pump a little Black Flag, grab an oat soda and do all of this...tomorrow...when my head's on my shoulders...

So...I'm probably light years behind in discovering this new music video station called The Tube. It is pretty much the opposite of MTV - music videos 24/7. No annoying specialty shows. Hardly ANY commercials. The catch is that they play videos that appeal more to the 30 + crowd. No Death Cab videos. No Fall Out Boy Videos. Definitely no Chingy or Lil' Wayne videos. You will see videos by (mostly) quality artists - Marvin Gaye, Elvis Costello, Coldplay, Depeche Mod... MORE
