ROCK FOR NO REASON!

how many bands are so studied, have so many well made plans that end in a most depressing and dismal result! I will now tell these bands study the WUFFY DOGS they had it figured out!
Sit! Lay down! Play dead! Rolllover! I ordered this 45 reissue from GONER RECORDS when I was grabbing my PRIMO! LP, I saw it on the main page and was intrigued, how wuffy can a girl be? well... I can't afford an original but I shall bathe only in the wuffiest of sounds from now on out.
One of the tyrannies of our current age is the feeling of watching life through a screen, things that happened things, that might happen, things that won't happen, we are all trapped in plasma waiting for a new reality that seems so wretched... well, while trapped why not watch two and a half long VHS videos transferred to youtube of kids stuck at a fest in fucking Indiana in 1987!!!! You can watch the hated if you pay attention to the commenters or you can watch the kids that set up the fest argue about things that FEEL SO VERY REAL to anyone who has ever organized anything in the context of DIY punk or alternative business structures etc etc and so on... the first five minutes of this video set me on a spiral of despair / years thrown away and for what.... WHO WILL BRING THE MARKERS ON JUDGEMENT DAY!!!!!! rock FOR NO REASON!!!!!!!! ( 1:34:00 The Hated per commenters on youtube. also did you spend the entire 90s w people whispering about the Hated Box set or Hated acoustic but somehow also managed to live thru the 90s never actively enjoying a hated song?! or just me?! ROCK FOR NO REASON!!!!!!! maybe numero will do the hated boxset and everything will make sense!)

when I worked feverishly at MRR as content coord one of the mags I put together was an all fanzine special, we had access to an insane early 80s zine archive (not MRRs tragically!) one of the zines that brought me most joy was Breakfast Without Meat, I think we only saw two issues but one had a blurred out black flag interview and the other had a response to fan outrage at the fact the interview wasn't legible with another unreadable reprint.Anyway my vague memories of Breakfast Without Meat have remained with me to this day as "what a zine should be!" made in ye olde early 80s by Gregg Turkington. My comrade Vinnie, who helped making the zine flashback zone just sent me a message re a Meat Puppets video they posted on their youtube channel, coincidentally filmed at Target Video (me and vinnie interviewed Joe from Target for the MRR film issue) so it's all connected brothers and sisters and apparently also according to Gregg's wikipedia the Meat Puppets were long time contributors to his fanzine.. anyway this video is insane, no words can explain what you are about to experience, the meat puppets are a treasure and a pleasure and it doesn't make sense but here it is watch the whole thing, breakfast without meat! I watched meat puppets play for free in golden gate park for an alarmingly huge crowd of jam band heads but they played my fave songs off II and it was also a pleasure and a treasure. If only they played the first 7" still maybe they will?!
I frequently wake up with bobby soxx "i gotta pee pee in the disco mommy" running through my brains what does it all mean? happy mothers day be free w your pee?! I also like the 90s disco remix version for when your crowd is less rustic. We are currently listening to the insane united mutation reissue that radio raheem just did. truly mutant sounds for skulls and the barely alive. Sohrab Habibion just uploaded a bunch of sick DC live shows from when he was a teenage show setter upper/VHS filmer and there are so many sick things! (one last wish! The Hated! MOSS ICON!!!!
 



I have been also enjoying the gentle sounds of evie sands, bobby gentry, Eduardo Mateo

This ends the report!
