Heroes
Debbie, Tim, and Paul (My Mom, my Brother, my Dad)
About me: Undead and Unwed. Graduated from High School as a Pink Floyd Casualty about a quarter century ago (1983). Back then I saw the movie version of The Wall 13 times in the theater; since then I got married, divorced, seen Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and faun fables several times, recently saw Winterthrall, Bonded by Blood, and Warbringer, and enjoyed RUSH 15 times, KORN 16 times, Jonathan Davis Once, TOOL 9 times, Pink Floyd 4 times, Roger Waters 4 times, dredg 7 times, incubus 6 times, Yes 4 times, the Mars Volta 3 times, King Crimson on 2 seperate occasions, laurie anderson twice, peter gabriel twice, guns and roses twice, aerosmith twice, and pearl jam and boy hits car once; the metal bands I've witnessed live in bleeding flesh include Celtic Frost, Crimson Moon, Kreator, Arsis, Opeth, Metallica, Suffocation, Behemoth, Vader, Krisiun, Decapitated, Cripple Bastards, Intestinal Strangulation, Phobia, Skinless, Slayer, Anal Blast, 88 metal bullets, Demon Sword, Gravecode Nebula, and I've seen The Obliterate Plague, Ibex Throne, Terra Noir, Yaotl Mictlan, Incendiant, Mindlock, Thunderfist, Die Monster Die, Desolate Realm, the Supersuckers, Hank III, the Melvins & The Pagan Dead too many times to count. I'm lovin' a motherlode of music from Ambient to Blackmetal. I dedicated my second book of poems ("On Mount Drone") to Brian Eno, and personally gave him a copy in the early 90s. Now I live nearby the evaporating inland sea in what used to be the northernmost portion of Aztec territory.
First and foremost I am a poet expressively put here in order to help pinpoint that enigmatic region that exists between us and of which we are all more than merely parts. As far as I'm concerned, the closest clue to a creator is spelled D,N,A. We appear to be the co-creators of divinity as much as its destroyers. So long as a certain thriving diversity in this ecosystem is maintained and perpetuated, does it matter how much of it we strike down in our egotistical quests for dominance and superiority? I do not know (but it sure is getting tiresome watching the monkeys run things). Get prepared to duck 'n' cover, there's always another Shrapnelstorm developing...
Who I'd like to meet: DEAD: Most of all I would like to meet Philip K. Dick. Also: John Lennon, William Butler Yeats, Isidore Ducasse, William Blake, Ambrose Bierce, James Joyce, Hart Crane, Mark Twain, Italo Calvino, Carl Sagan, Terence McKenna, Aldous Huxley, Robert Anton Wilson, Kurt Vonnegut, Gary Gygax, Albert Hoffman ...
ALIVE: Iggy Pop, Tom Waits, Lou Reed, Alan Moore, A.A. Attanasio, Ray Bradbury, Dax Riggs, Johnny Lydon, Samuel R. Delany, Stephen King, Rudy Rucker, Richard Linklater, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Stephen Hawking, Noam Chomsky, Daniel Pinchbeck, Bonnie Prince Billy*, Jon Davis, Munky, Fieldy, David, Brian, George A. Romero, John Skipp, a random bum, a serial killer, and an astronaut. I've already met John Shirley, Bob Dylan, John Doe, Will Oldham & Eddie Spaghetti, so I'm doin pretty good.
Get you better brotha! Ain't be long, I sing that song They let me go soon, You mebbe see me in SLC in a month or three, depends on what I can arrange for me...
Yeah, you seemed pretty psyched out about the show on Sedaka. Too bad your friend couldn't make it. Hope you enjoy yourself regardless. The review I bet will be epic, with pictures too.
I didn't have much time to scan your cd shelves when I was at your place 2 weeks ago, but do you own any Bloodbath albums? Until I read an article in Decibel, I had no idea that Akerfeldt of Opeth performed with this band on some albums, including a new EP that was releaed. I'm gonna download that sucker.
That makes perfect sense. At least they have integrity which is more than I can say for some other classic metal bands(you know who I'm talking about).
"Damnation" is quite good, can't really understand why they decided to go for the cookie-monster style on their later stuff. It just doesn't work. This one is quite good though.
ITS FINALLY OUT !!! Hunt & Tony Sales SALES BROS/ HIRED GUNS SALES BROS., ..'HIRED GUNS.." They will be premiering the new CD on the Steve Jones radio show, Jonesy’s Jukebox. Indie 103. 1
