Yeah...its supposed to snow today...Spring? What is Spring? Never heard of it...It's gonna be a long, boring day here...i will be dropping by periodically to share some tunes...first up, an absolute classic. Not introduction needed...I would have to put this song in any list of 'essential' songs from my generation. NO doubt about it.
LOL!! Some people truly have more dollars than sense!!!Crystal Commode's Mother Lodeposted on 12/ 8/08 @ 10:30 AMThis will certainly make you look at Swarovski crystals a little bit differently! Just because you can encrust a toilet with their glitzy baubles, does it mean you should? According to the Wall Street Journal, Jemal Wright Bath Designs has taken a toilet and blinged it out with thou...
At the periodontist yesterday as he used what I can only assume was a tiny tiny saw and drill to cut away parts of my gum and bone so that a crown could be placed on a chipped tooth. I felt nothing because of the anesthetic, and heard nothing as I cranked my earbuds waaaayyyyyyy up. Social Distortion, Strokes and other loud tunes, forcing the dentist to repeatedly have to tap me on the arm, ...
Cpunks,If you do not have this CD/music. Run out and get it. It has some of the most timeless rock and roll you'll ever hear. When I played it today, it was like the first time I heard it - it's like crack french fries - yummy."When She Begins to Rock, HoneyI Begin to Roll!"
Now I know I don't have to sell anyone on Sly Stallone's 1987 movie Over the Top as being the best movie ever made in the arm wrestling truck driver genre. Any movie with the line "I drive a truck, break arms, and arm wrestle. It's what I love to do, it's what I do best," really stands on its own and defies criticism. I mean truly, one has to be moved when a man drinks motor oil as a way to int...

(no, i can't get the song to upload...but i did find this somewhat amusing vid on youtube set to it. just shut your ...

The bands that are coming are Social Distortion, Sum 41, The Used, Jimmy Eat World, The Starting Line, and I Hate Kate. I'm really excited for Social D and Sum 41. I don't know much about The Starting LIne and I Hate Kate so if you think there's anything that I should listen to, please t...
The small narrow doorways, looking like they lead into a small, intimate club, give way and open into a large, expansive warehouse. Before the Social Distortion concert on Friday, I had never attended anything at the Showbox Sodo. While heading there I was expecting to find a smaller, more intimate sister venue to Showbox at the Market. How wrong I was. The expansive lower floor and spacious up...
The tv was on following a late one last night and we happened upon The (White) Rapper Show. The show is what it is and I'll make little comment on reality tv. What caught my attention was the teaser for the next episode. The (white) rap wannabes were traveling to Detroit to perform at Saint Andrew's Hall. It did my heart good to hear that place was still around and still fairly well-known as a ...
Social Distortion wasted no time ripping into The Creeps, Another State Of Mind & Mommy’s Little Monster. The three punk classics from the album Mommy’s Little Monster, and the huge banner hanging behind the band, reminded us all of the thirty years of the underground punk scene that Mike Ness has helped carve out literally with his own two hands. The band is no stranger to Milwaukee, having p
Maybe if I hadn't so clueless when it came to music up until I was in high school, I would have been more aware when it came to Social Distortion.As it is, I am more of a recent convert. I am aware of their illustrious history, and I have to say, based on the following video, they still gots it...That's a live version of "Far Behind," the one new track from their greatest hits CD, set to be r...
