Playlists comes in all shapes and sizes...


Listen to the lyrics and if you know what she was going through at the time, it hits you like a ton of bricks



Although this is from "Ill Blood", "Suffer Survive" is the on going debate..




This band may not have the breakdowns and speedy riffs, but damn they put out some great/weird jams. Love it.


I'll admit, my knowledge of hip hop is not as extensive as a lot of my friends, but its safe to say this is one of greatest hip hop records ever made. Lil' Wayne, listen to this and then just give up.


If you have ever had the pleasure of catching him live you know he brings it. Powerhouse would be a good way to describe a typical Chuck Ragan performance.


It's impossible to listen to this and sit still. Once saw the singer dave byrd call out a group of folks telling them to bring bats and chains because they were going to need them,haha. Probably my favorite moment from that "last show" weekend of 08?..

Aiprort Banter


Over new years weekend I made my way down to Los Angeles and chose the convenience of the airplane as my means for getting to my destination. First stop, Sacramento Airport. Bags were packed and I thought everything was good to go. But, do you know what the biggest mistake for people when it comes to air travel is? It's not "accidentally" forgetting you packed a buck knife or accidentally forgetting you had shampoo that was larger than 3 oz. It's forgetting to bring headphones to block out surrounding chatter. Trust me, on a holiday weekend in a crowded airport nothing blocks out general population discussions like "Piece by Piece" by Slayer. Sometimes I'll just put the headphones on, no i-pod. Just let the chord dangle. No one is going to want to sit next to the crazy asshole with headphones plugged into nothing, right?
Well, while burying myself in the next best thing, a book, I hear the sound that could only resemble a horse getting excited about his oats.A huffy puffy sound makes it way around the corner and who is it? Its the living breathing mannequin from the vans store in the mall. Apparently ol' Huffy Puffy missed his flight by an entire day, but it wasn't his fault and boy was he letting his mother hear about it. Now, the airport is no saint, but a whole day and its not your fault? who are you fooling? The conversation went as follows:

(Huffy Puffy)-" Its bullshit. They told me my flight was actually yesterday and I had to pay $70 to switch to a flight that was today.
(Mother probably contemplates why she didn't have the father pullout on the sheets because one load of laundry is better than this)
(Huffy Puffy)-" I know. Well, I called them Jewish."

He called the front kiosk worker Jewish. That's fitting, right? I mean, the lady was simply punching in and doing her job and instead of getting to the airport on time he was out buying super skinny purple jeans. This is the world we live in, welcome! I don't stand for the use of slurs and stereotypes we all come across in this world, but if you were going to throwout stereotypical slurs who would be more fitting for the role that many think of when throwing out these stereotypes? The kiosk worker simply working her 9 to 5 shift or Huffy Puffy complaining about only having to pay $70 bucks for missing his flight by a whole day? Lesson of this, many still haven't gotten the hint that some one's religious backround isn't an insult( clearly a good ol' "Douchebag!" is a better zinger) and yet, it's these idiots that will keep on producing other little huffy puffys.

Ramble and ramble...

So,its been a little bit since i last wrote anything on here. Havent done the interviews, but have written random things here and there. I'm going to get around to posting some of it soon.I'm a lag ass, so i have ideas but ages will go by before i act on them, if I even end up doing so. Some of these could be funny to many, some of it could be funny to just me. Oh well, can't please everyone,right? Disagreement is what makes the world go round.Anyways, I`ve been trying to write more in general, whether it be short snippets, comedic points of view,or just thoughts on records,people, or life in general. Read it. Dont read it. No worries. No sleep will be lost either way.



Just got done reading this book. It was an interesting read. If you do not know who Joe Cole was he was a good friend of Henry Rollins and went on what would be the last black flag tour and first Rollins Band tour. Its Another perspective on being on tour with both bands and being a lost 20 something. A great excerpt from the book was this particular one:
"When she got up to take a shower her friend woke up and asked where Rollins went and i said i didnt know. She said there was some sticky stuff in her hair and she didn't know what it was,"-Joe Cole 4/25/86.
Must read to find out the rest of the story,haha.
