Post Blood Brothers News N Notes

New band Past Lives, with Jordan, Mark, Morgan, and Devon, are playing a show on the 29th of January at The Showbox in Seattle with The Liars and NO AGE. Also they are playing with These Arms Are Snakes at El Corazon in Seattle on February 22nd.

Jaguar Love is about to record an album. No shows planned.

Both bands and Mark's hip hop project, Chapagne Champagne, are on The Blood Brothers Myspace page. Link yourself, fool.

I bought the new Peaches/Tone Loc Remix today and haven't decided if I'm a full blown fool or not. I have three copies of the old 1988 one and it's seeming WAYYY cooler than newly released Peaches remix of it. I'll have to marinate, but just know that I'm feeling very odd right now. (BTW, I hate super hardcore Peaches fans. They kinda suck, right? How much cooler would homegirl be if she had passed away due to the drugs and then there wouldn't be a scene around her, just a fun and stoopid record. One can only dream.)

Delicious Vinyl celebrates 20 years with this new 12" release and there's more on the way. Check it.

No Presents For Christmas

I have this terrific 12" record. The tough ass logo in nice holiday green and red. Released in 1985, our beloved King Diamond recorded this single and joined the ranks of Bing Crosby, Elmo & Patsy, The Chipmunks and Burl Ives in creating the backdrop to a most pleasant holiday season. This and other gorgeous Christmas cuts will be a plenty tomorrow night at Skull Kontrol. And let's give the 'tude and the smart mouths a break folks, Big Baby Jesus is BORN.








Blah, blah blah, Skull Kontrol @ Live Wire, tomorrow December 20th, free yada yada 21+ or whatever.

Trill Niggaz Don't Die

I found this on Pimp C's Myspace. So nice for his handlers to create such a poignant send off. Anyone can mourn Pimp C by just doing the ol' copy and paste technique.

New Plot Song Up, New Record Soon

The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower have posted a new song from their upcoming posthumous release, Saviours & Suckers. It's called "Keys To Your Skull". It's available to listen only on their Myspace account. Look for the release of the entire final recordings, an ep, very soon in 2008.

MIA's Paper Planes Remix W/ Bun B And Rich Boy

Bun B sounds great. Rich Boy sounds like a fool.

NO AGE On VBS TV

Oops. I forgot to post this. The fine folks at Vice Magazine sent me this in November. I'm posting it now. NO AGE was featured on VBS.TV's Practice Space show. VBS TV is Vice's online TV channel. The feature's good so check it.

Here are some notes by Practice Space host Ryan Duffy:

"The No Age episode of Practice Space sort of felt like cheating, what with the guys being from LA and doing most of their practicing out there. But their surge of popularity and resulting tour schedule necessitated a NYC practice space as well, and the fact that they just happen to be the two nicest kids on Earth made it quite easy to find a friend willing to donate some room in his wood shop. Far be it from us to pass up a chance to hang with one of the more exciting bands in the states on a hometown technicality." -Ryan Duffy

In Honor Of Big Baby Jesus

This Thursday is the 2007 X-Mas edition of Skull Kontrol. It should be bananas. We're giving away jingle bells too. Real live GODDAMN jingle fucking balls. With red and green pipe cleaners to wrap that shit around your wrist. This set me back $10.43, so I hope you appreciate it. Also, mixed in to all the rad and loud punk, rap and crap, there'll be the odd xmas song thrown in for good measure. And we've been stocking up! WE got The Chipmunks xmas record, the fuckin' Run DMC xmas song, the Mariah Carey xmas song. Even Dr. Demento's xmas record (a classic). All this in honor of Big Baby Jesus. See ya there fuckface.

Oh yeah!! And get there early to grab a booth and listen to the musical tastes of Branden and Derek of The Atoms.

Old News

As I wrote on here a couple months ago, The Blood Brothers broke up. When I originally wrote that post somebody got all smart mouth on the comments section. So I just thought I'd repost the farewell letter left by The BBs to their fans.

Dear Friends,

After 10 years of making music as The Blood Brothers, we have made the collective decision that our time together has come to an end. We feel extremely fortunate to have spent such a deeply memorable and amazing part of our lives with each other. At this point, however, we feel it's best that our futures move forward on separate paths. We'd like to express our sincerest thanks and gratitude to all the bands we've played with, individuals who have helped us make our records, and fans who have come to our shows and picked up our music throughout the years. Your friendship, support and love hold such a profoundly special place in each of our hearts. We hope that the memories you attach to our music are as fond as those you have given us. Thank you and take care, we'll miss all of you.

Love,
The Blood Brothers

I have to admit I'm going to miss these fools coming to town. Brandon, Chuck and I set up after parties for the last couple San Diego shows and they were always bananas. They were a good band but more so they are great people. And fun as shit.

Tonight. Party time.

Shit. It's time to shake your shit tonight!! Solid Gold down at The Tower Bar. Shit shit shit. Soul 45s, crazy soul stompin' classics, and more. 60s 60s 60s. And live bands and shit too. The BEST bands. The Muslims and Fantastic Magic. Yikes. SOOO many reasons to go to the Tower Bar. Bye.

Wu Tops

So let's get back to this Wu thing. I was trying to figure out my lil' top 5 or 10 records and one thing was clearly evident. You know which one I HATE? Method Man. Fuck he sucks. His rhymes not only make no sense, they're not funny. Of course he's had a shining moment or two but so has Nelly. I mean I like "Grillz" as much as the next guy but it doesn't mean the man don't suck. And suck hard if I might add.

(Btw, this is personal so don't yell at me. Make your own GOT damn list.)

1. Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) - Wu Tang Clan

2. Pretty Toney Album - Ghostface

3. RZA As Bobby Digital - RZA

4. Liquid Swords - GZA

5. Return To The 36 Chambers - Ol' Dirty Bastard

6. Only Built For Cuban Linx - Raekwon The Chef

7. Supreme Clientele - Ghostface Killah

8. Wu-Tang Forever - Wu-Tang Clan

9. Iron Man - Ghostface Killah

10. Nigga Please - Ol' Dirty Bastard

11. Fishscale - Ghostface Killah

12. Digital Bullets - RZA As Bobby Digital

13. The W - Wu-Tang Clan

14. Iron Flag - Wu-Tang Clan

15. Uncontrolled Substance - Inspektah Deck

Top 15. These are the tops amongst the ones I like. And, no, I don't like The Gravediggaz. Everyone does I know, but I actually might HATE it. And the new Ghost, I left off cuz I haven't formed a real relationship with it yet. Umm, what else...I don't like The Pillage by Cappadonna or any of those Killa Beez comps. I wanted to add the Ghost Dog Soundtrack because I LOVE it but wasn't sure if I should. Just count it as #16, the bonus cut.

Milkfat Films First Event Tonight In Los Angeles

Below is a video flier for Milkfat Films' first event. If you're in the Los Angeles area tonight, don't miss out and go!! These are not only great friends of ours but very talented fools.

Big Show Announcement: 3/10/08

Monday, March 10, 2008. Crystal Castles of Canada, Health of Los Angeles, The Muslims of San Diego and Los Angeles and records by me. At The Casbah in San Diego. Diverse as F. Have you heard the CC remix of Health on the new 7"? Well it's fucking good. If you don't know, now you know.

We'll most likely have the new Muslims double A side 7" single on Art Fag too...although by saying that I bet I cursed it to not be available till next June.

Mo' Ike Rememberance

I saw this fool once. I was at a James Brown concert over at ye olde Humphrey's(?) by the bay. It was a great JB show, but my favorite part of the whole night was when this son of a B, Ike Turner, walked on stage, guitar strapped on, plugged himself in, played a solo and walked off. Never did he once look at James Brown OR the crowd. It was pretty bad ass.

It's a shame he sullied his fucking name by doing those beatings. Fucking idiot. Realistically, his obit will always read: "Rock & Roll Creator And Shameful Ogre Of A Man...Ike Turner 1931-2007". Fucking idiot, but damn the music was unfuckwittable.

Like Brandon said, come show some 'spects for the music tomorrow night at Tower. I have two I can't WAIT to play.

RIP Ike Turner

Ike Turner died today in San Diego, aged 76.

His whole horrific drug-monster, wife beating thing hugely overshadowed his numerous contributions to blues, soul and girl groups. Plus homeboy basically invented rock and roll. (Well...him and a few other cats. See "Rocket 88" - that's 1951!)

Come to Tower Bar tomorrow night and help us pay our respects.

Solid Gold SOUL Dance Party This Thursday W/ The Muslims And Fantastic Magic

The second installment of a new soul and oldies dance party is this Thursday @ The Tower Bar. Solid Gold. The Muslims and Fantastic Magic are playing LIVE and Brandon Welchez and myself will be playing the best rare soul and classic favorites to dance to. All 60s, all uptempo scorchers.

It's going to start early so keep that in mind. Also, this is a monthly party taking place on the second Thursday of every month, so fire that in your goddamn domes.

For All You Smart Dumb Cats Out There

For those of you that read this regularly (god forbid), you probably notice that I get into a kick every now and then. Right now, I'm on a Wu-Tang kick. Last night I must have watched hours of footage on Youtube. And then I went to ebay to see what all my records are worth, and then back to Youtube to review my favorites.

My all time favorite emcees list would have to include Ghostface and RZA. Nobody on this planet has a brain like the brain that these fools house in their big ol' dome pieces..




Why I WIsh I Could Talk To Ghost Everyday





RZA, GZA And Bill Murray In Jim Jarmusch's "Coffee And Cigarettes"







God damn that shit is great. So listen. Ghostface's new album, The Big Doe Rehab, came out last Tuesday. A new Wu-Tang album, 8 Diagrams, and a new RZA/Bobby Digital album, DigiCakes come out soon but no official date available. Later on, I'll post my favorite songs from the Youtubes and my official Top Wu records (as if you give a care).

Winter Wonderland With A Keg...Tonight

Dance party provided by your favorite dick jockeys, Mario Orduno, Sir Charles, Brandon Welchez and Jeff Graves.

Ebert, Siskel, Roper Y Orduno

Saw the Dylan movie the other day. "I'm Not There". Eh. It was good. But it was good for like the first 80%, then I thought it dragged. All 6 "Dylans" were great in their roles. They were actually 6 different characters inspired by Bob Dylan. I mean there was a little black boy as one so you see what I mean? Inspired. But ok, it was good. Some scenes were brilliant even. It's just not a brilliant movie.

Tonigt I saw "Romance & Cigarettes". It was on a whim. I didn't even know a thing about it except for that Susan Sarandon, James Gandolfini and Kate Winslet were in it. And it was written and directed by John Turturro. Oh, and Christoper Walken and Steve Buscemi were in it too. Other than that, I knew nothing. Guess what holmes. It was GOOD. And it's partly a musical! It's really out there at times. It's about love and stuff. Anyway, it was great. Oh, shit I almost forgot to say that it's also hillarious.

That's this week's installment. Thank you Landmark and all my favorite people that work there.

You may remember this GOT damn classic, the Big Pimpin' single by Jay-Z featuring UGK.




Don't forget to pour your beer out and stuff.

Sexual Eruption

Big Snoop Dogg. What the f? This song is ridiculous. What the hell. He's back on the pot? You could only make a song and video like this if you're back on the pot. I hate the pot, by the way. But I am very seductive cat, and that's probably why song this speaks to me. But back to the video. The voice box tube in his MOUF? Ha. And the damn dance moves! Alright, I'll get off his nuts.



Snoop's Sensual Seduction
