Mo' music

[nolapenguin]

I'm amazed at the amount of music this town is getting lately. That's a sign, people. Get out and rock will ya'?

I found this little gem in my inbox this morning: Henry Rollins at HOB. Tom Jones is playing not too long afterwards. Tom Jones tix are $60!!! I also noticed that the John Mayer show already sold out (damned commercial music fans) and that CKY (!!!) is playing a week before Tom Jones. Dood, CKY!!! Maybe none of it matters since I've got to save up for both Halloween and VoodooFest.

Just thinking out loud. Move along.

Back in the day, my brother and I used to watch underground hardcore skate videos with Black Flag in the background.

This was back when Tony Hawk had just perfected the McTwist. I could barely do an ollie, but I wanted to be Tony Hawk so badly.

Anyways, there was this one video before Mr. Hawk even had his own line of skate gear, he was in it, and one of the montages was to TV Party, showing all these skate rats pounding beer in some basement before skating in a pool.

Memories. Thanks.

(yes, this was around 1995. I now officialy feel old and decrepit)

Bah. I got drawers older than you.

Sorry. Sounds like something a grandpa would say.

*looks on the date I have registered with LJ*

Drawers older than 1910? I doubt that. Perhaps the drawer that holds your drawers....

Gramps.

Are you saying you know what's in my drawers? Cause that's just not right.

[iamyourghost.livejournal.com]

I could hazard a guess.

But I wouldn't know for sure.

just teasing with you. I'm going to go wander off and sing/yell punk songs now.

If I tried to ride a skateboard these days, I would fall and break my leg.

This was back when Tony Hawk had just perfected the McTwist.

And now he's "Hawking" the joys of PowerAde at McDonald's. Oh, how I envy the sellouts.

Now I'm wondering if either my brother or I still have that bootleg video somewhere.

It could be worth something!

(we also, quite by chance, own the original first issues of both the comics Sandman and Sin City. We were ahead of the curve.

If I had anything worth selling out, I would do so as well. Maybe next life...

EDIT: 1985.

I was wondering about that...

Memories...

The first time Freddy and I met up was at Aunt Tiki's, a very casual Thursday night. We stayed waaaay late, left around 4 or 5 AM, drinking, doing $10 shots of tequila and watching old skate videos.

Memories, indeed.

That sounds like every Thursday night. Except for that meeting someone part. And $10 shots? I didn't know they anything WORTH $10 in there.

I'm old. I remember seeing Black Flag in San Francisco at the On Broadway when Henry was skinny and blonde!
