Chat is archived.

It's the rock with the punk innit and the punk with the rock innit, punk.

the elusive punkrockinnit genre

"fusion"

Lol!!

;)

RIP Steve Albini. He so loved the world that he pulled no punches. An incredible dude.

Ok. Phew. I'm here.

Let us chatter, let us tap, let us do the rock with the punk innit.

welcome, @jon!

always pouring them out for steve a, @matt

ATTAGIRL

Hath been a year somehow

it can't be a year already! holy crap

I know

Jon played the first track on Dude Incredible and stirred the wind in my heart

I guess a little nod to Steve is in order, then

This went live today.

and Papa Jon regaled us with storied stories of he & Jen punkrocking it to venues far and near

http://stevealbiniscloset.com

Only 45s, CDs and LPs so far...

Jon noted, will check it oot!

I have always wanted that Death of Samantha record, would be nice to own Steve's.

oh wild

thatis nutty

I recall a Low album Steve worked on that was analog all the way to the finished product , somehow.. AAA !

Hi Jen, Any way I can know your friend (experimental filmmaker who wants to colloborate with Godspeed..) I ask because I write screenplays too..

anything of Steve's is like holy grail status. I'd use butler gloves handling it

@gautham i can ask if she's open to professional contacts. is a collaboration your interest?

I'm a bigger fan of Eddy Current Suppression Ring than anyone else here. Jusssssayin'

@fr1day hahah there's some stiff competition!

I'm just happy to make it on the medal platform.

LOL fr1day that's the gotdamn spirit

@Jen - yes collaboration but have to wait for a couple months to get my green card. Will check back with you later, Thanks -

Don't know how I'll prove it though

oh right on, and good luck with your green card! that's exciting!

@fr1day eddy arm-wrestling

The Woolies!! Thought twas Music Machine at first

Haha yeah. That's the only way

Jen & I armwrestled about Phleg Camp and it was a draw, but I am a gentleman and bought her a well bourbon which she downed like a fucking champ

HAHAHAh it's only fair

I dug that Avon Dads, have bookmarked their Bandcamp.

Their EP called Egg is one of my favorite new discoveries

awesome!

this song has some terrible squeaking in it that makes me want to throw grease at it

Egg punk or chain punk. Tawk amongst yourselves. - Linda Richman

bandname: GREASETHROWER

hahaha

For some reason, searching for Grease Thrower in Discogs results in only the Meat Shits. Gross and gross.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

we achieved true punkitude only 27 minutes in. Nice

making punk gross again

la witch is playin JBs on saturday night

SPICY JEN IS AWESOME. Offended and throwing grease. Love it. MORE.

Colin nice!!

PUNKY SPICY JEN ON THE LOOSE

LAST SEEN HEADING TOWARD THE PINE BARRENS IN A GREASEPOWERED CAR BLASTING NOMEANSNO

Bring it on! You have to beat the biggest Eddy Current Suppression ring fan to be the biggest Eddy Current Suppression Ring fan!

very Minor Threat esque pic Jon!

spicy jen is my alternate dj name

I think that might be The Porch, Matt.

@jon nice!!

fr1day THAT'S THE JERSEY SPIRIT. Let's get greazy.

(nice on etran d'air)

Dayum Jon! That's dope

Caught Etran Del Aire at Woodsist last year and they were great

Their drummer is worth the price of admission alone (as long as he also has a drum set).

Greenleaf!! DJ PROF CAPN AHAAAAAAAAAAB

What. Is. Happening.

Knight Rider WUT

now I'm back on the porch in Ramsey New Jersey as a yung brat punk in love with Knight Rider

Lol Jon well said

(Gen X listeners emerge from the pines)

Hi Jen, chatting in to say thanks for playing Lambrini Girls and mentioning their current tour a few months ago. Philly show last Saturday was the best hour show I’ve seen since maybe the Ramones. I think they’re back in September.

outstanding, @john! I'm about to miss them AGAIN, as I have to travel for work (BIG SIGH), but I'll see them on that fall tour for sure! so glad you got to see 'em!

What. Is. Happening. Now.

this song is truly punk

so good

the mighty Deerhoof

Nick Cave! Pike up and TURN IT UP NJ PA DE EARTH

geez, speaking of bands i'm going to miss (besides Lambrini Girls and Deerhoof, actually): Nick Cave tickets cost like $200 for crap views. Nonsense.

Concur, Spicy Jen

hahahaha

🌶️

If ya like aussie music like Nick Cave, check out the bonkers film The Rover (2013)

oh? oh, guy pearce! right on

DJ Spicy Jen with the fire set so far

Guy's best role since Memento. Unhinged. Grimy aussie desert noir

sounds great, i'll check it out!

I have never determined why I own the Mission Impossible / Lunch Meat insert, but not the record itself.

Sammich Records!

Jon LOLOLOLOLOLOL

haha still funny and i don't know why

Jon it's a universe of signs & wonders, signs & wonders

Perhaps someone who owns this single needs an insert. The drummer, maybe.

i think it'd be a fun surprise to someone later to find it in an unrelated record

Island of Misfit Punk Ephemera, a museum curated by J Solomon

Jen, sort of like how our mutual friend Dan had all three members of Shellac sign his LP of Pyromania by Def Leppard.

my cousin found a hidden Mr. Bungle track on vinyl when he was cleaning a poppy crackle spot on said record

HAHAHA @jon

Dan LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Pyromania is a good album, I like this Dan

I can just imagine Bob Weston signing Pyromania LOLOLOLOL

the 8-Way Santa album with its controversial album cover history

I recommend the documentary Tad: Busted Circuits and Ringing Ears. Will check if it is streaming anywhere.

one of the first shows i ever went to tad opened for gwar and the serial killers at revival. probably 1987

Tad used to eat magic mushroom pb & j sammiches washed down with, naturally, beer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua2Bm8EcfIw

Colin awesome

the flier https://freedomhasnobounds.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/112.jpg

I second Jon, the Tad doc is compelling & hilarious

Colin yessssssss now there's a flyer

Big Black! nice Spice Jen

hahah

YOU'RE JUST A BAD PENNY

shouty spice

I have looked up some of these lyrics on Genius and I am skeptical that he is actually yelling...

Crazy thoughts in my head Must've had some wheat bread

HAHAHA

who are we to argue

Haaaaaaaa!! Mondegreens, misheard lyrics. Clown control to Mao Tse Tung

THE WHEAT CRAZIES ARE REAL, JON

Greasethrower w/ opening band The Wheat Crazies

psychedelic fungus infestation of european grain, not divine inspiration, as[sic] responsible for many of the “visions” so lovingly portrayed in the christian paintings of antiquity. how many people were pressed under stones or drowned or burned for satanism while those of faith were quietly tripping their brains out on bad bread?

@matt hahaha

psychedelic witchery

calls to mind the Monty Python Holy Grail vvitch scene

Bad Breads, a psychedelic tribute to bad brains

feat. Dr. Dough on guitar

HAHAH

HAIL TO THE KING BABY THE MIGHTY MELVINS

"Jeff Pinkus on bass was great, but he is too weird for us" - King Buzzo

i've always liked and not loved Melvins, but I am really loving the new album

"my 10 fave live shows: Parliament-Funkadelic, and 9 Butthole Surfers shows" - Dean Ween

ha!

I hearya Jen, Melvins challenges the listener, sometimes too much

they just never got me that excited. nothing but respect, of course.

funny that ex-Butthole Jeff Pinkus was too weird for the Melvins

Melvins playing "Graveyard" then distributing ice cream cones is on YouTube & hilarious

Woah. 39 Clocks was terrific.

I couldn't help but hear VU's "Sweet Jane" in that one

yes!! just learned that there's a big ole box set of their stuff, tempted to do some shopping.

@fr1day, i see it

Spicy Jen is taking no prisoners today & it's awesome

helluva set, DJ

hey, thanks! i'm a little obsessed with this naked lights record.
