This week we have a guest columnist, writer Marius Gustaitis, who some may be familiar with his great blog Trudging Through The Fire (http://mariusgustaitis.com/), if not check it out.
I love when my intuition turns out to be right. When it confirms my suspicions. Tells me my assessments are dialed-in. On target. I love it. It's deeply satisfying. Makes me feel good about myself. Makes me feel like I know what's going on. Like I might have a clue.
I met Michael Essington a few months back at a Reagan Youth/ 13 Scars show at Los Globos in Hollywood.
The music was so loud we didn't get too much of a chance to talk. But I sized him up. I was a bouncer for a few years, and it's just something I do. Maybe all guys do it. Size up a motherfucker. Try to figure out if they could take him.
Well, I wasn't exactly at that point with Essington, since we hadn't pissed each other off. I wasn't at the deciding-if-I-would-win-in-a-cage-match phase of our relationship. I was just trying to figure him out. Trying to see if I could guess what he was all about.
He looked at ease. With himself. With his surroundings. Didn't look like he had anything to prove. That told me a lot. If I ever did get any ideas about beating on him, this in itself would've given me pause. Guys don't get like that without knowing they can handle some shit. And they know it… because they've handled some shit. You can't fake it. Probably been through the chopping factory. Endured the blows of Life. But seems to have weathered it well. Call it character. Call it badassness. He's got it. Like genuine.
Plus, he's got that bull neck and Taurine shoulders so in fashion with debt collectors from Queens. Probably did some wrestling in school. Football? Yeah, maybe, some boxing, too. He's a ground-and-pounder alright. Gets you on the floor and pile-drives from above while your limbs are pinned. Knows how to head-butt effectively. You have to resort to fighting dirty with guys like that. Use teeth. Table cutlery. Pull on the peach. All while taking thunder blows to the brow and jaw and trying to blink your way through the exploding green balls and vibrating purple parallelograms in your eyes. You're looking at major war shit.
But there was no need to reach for the saltshaker, yet. He was just sitting there watching the show.
I figured he's an ex-maniac, now settling into adulthood. I knew he had a family. I bet he's easy-going and reasonable, until somebody really get's under his skin. Then he blows. Yeah. Seems a little powder-keggish. Maybe some childhood stuff he's still exorcising. Old stuff that fuels it. The Rage.
–I swear to you, these were my first impressions. Just from watching him. Now and then an occasional shouted exchange over the music. I had not read Life Won't Wait.
Well, needless to say, when I did, I was immensely pleased with myself. And my psychic powers.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like I had him all figured out, or had known his whole story, but it turns out I did have a sense of the warp of the woof. I gisted it.
After reading his collection of autobiographical stories about life in the 818 (with interesting interviews with James Frey, Steve Jones, and Texas Terri Laird) I realized I had been right about a lot of things. Not like a jungle shaman high on Ibogaine right, but right enough to make beer money giving readings at a card table on the Santa Monica pier right.
Mike has been through some shit alright. Some quality childhood bummers. Family dysfunction. Suburban dissatisfaction. Valley Fever and its resulting health issues. A sensitive adolescence. An angry young adulthood, with its accompanying three handmaidens: Drink. Drugs and Violence. Sprinkle in some punk rock/metal, jail time, and a volcanic temper, and you know what you have?
Somebody who would've been a close friend. Are you kidding? Fucker's from my tribe. Forget about it.
So the book was a dee-light to read. A lot of head-nodding and chuckling. Whether he's going to jail, the hospital, or dealing with stupid things surrounded by stupid people, Essington makes a good tour guide. He doesn't bore you with details. Just points out some of the interesting sights. Gives a few historical facts for reference. Moves on to the next landmark. He's smart, funny, and insightful. His work is informed and readable. Never mind prolific.
But to me, one of the most badass things about Mike is that he doesn't make himself out to be one. Oh, there's this story and that one. Things happen. Shit goes down. But he lets you decide what to think. He clearly delineates his facts from his opinions. Again, like a guy not desperate to prove anything.
Look, I fancy myself a writer of sorts, so as I'm reading his stuff, I see how he's stripped-down his line–keeps the sentences simple declarative. Doesn't write in Proustian curly cues. He just prints it. But I was also impressed with how little editorializing he does. He'll tell you what he thought, what he felt, but not go on and on about what he thinks it all meant.
Can you imagine how refreshing? Not to have some writer's philosophy of life railroaded down your throat. My readers should be so lucky.
Anyway, both traits require discipline. To keep the line clean. And to keep the philosophizing to a minimum. It takes restraint in the writing, and some measure of faith in his readers–that they can fill in the blanks. Those qualities make Mike the writer he is. And the person.
And that makes running with Essington, as a reader or road dog, a low-maintenance for big payoff experience. If you haven't gotten to know him yet, I wouldn't wait too long. Life sure doesn't. Neither does Death. So make a new friend. One that can handle himself if the shit goes down.

]]>The Livingstons, Symbol Six, Dead Lazlo's Place, Million Kids
The Blue Star, Los Angeles, CA
Friday, May 6, 2011
Here's another great line-up put on by Kenny Kimmel over at the Blue Star. If you have never been to the Blue Star, queue up your GPS, type in new in new directions, type in from here, then for address type in the middle of nowhere, then you'll find it. Honestly, it was only thirty minutes or so away from my house, but there are parts of L.A. that are so buried away that the pigeons don't fly there.
The great thing about being so far out of the way is that no one complains about the noise. I dig the place.
The first band on was Million Kids. I saw Million Kids one other time, back in January at Molly Malone's on South Fairfax in Los Angeles. I dug them back then, and I have to say they have only gotten better. Good straight forward rock and roll. Go see Billy Caldwell and Million Kids, you won't be disappointed.
The second band up was Dead Lazlo's Place. Dead Lazlo's Place is, in my opinion, a really good, straightforward rock band. Punk band, minus the anger, and aggression. I can see them getting signed soon.
The band I was waiting for! Symbol Six! The buzz around this band is insane lately. They released their album Monsters 11 last year, and as they are approaching their thirtieth anniversary, Dr. Strange Records is going to be releasing an expanded version of their original Posh Boy EP.
For their mucho popular song off of Monsters 11, Long Way Home, they brought out Oscar Harvey (former Mau-Mau's bass player) to play harmonica and duet with Eric Leach.
The last band was The Livingston's. They played a good set. The three-piece seemed more into long free flow jam sessions, than actual songs. Michael Livingston (also guitarist for the Mau-Mau's) handled all the guitar work, and vocals.
My overall assessment, great night!

Over the couple of years I've come down with a horrible medical malady. No, not the diabetes, I've already discussed that.
Something far worse. I have, now, a condition I call goat balls.
Something happens when you get into your forties, I don't know how to explain it. Only to say that your sack drops or something.
I was going out to breakfast with my Son a few months back, and I go to get into the car, and when I went to sit down, I sat on my nuts. I let out a big yeee-ouch, re-position myself, and try to sit again. The whole weekend was like this.
By Sunday night I tell my Wife, that I inherited some kind of goat virus. And if I don't take care of this soon I'll be swinging at my knees soon.
She tells me this is common, and I should switch to snugger fit underwear.
No more boxers.
The last time I took my Son out to Newhall, to The Gentle Barn, the goats and I looked into each other's eyes, and we had an understanding. Damn nuts.

Lexicon Devil
1978 – Slash Records
Producer: Geza X
Darby Crash – vocals
Pat Smear – guitar
Lorna Doom – bass
Nicky Beat – drums
1. Lexicon Devil
2. Circle One
3. No God
Lexicon Devil is a three-song, seven-inch EP by The Germs, released strictly through mail-order by Slash Records in 1978. The band's second single came about when Slash Magazine made an offer to the Germs to release a record on their newly-formed label.
Pat Smear, while he owned a guitar at the time, he did not own an amplifier, this led to the unique guitar sound of the EP. Producer Geza X was supposed to lend Smear an amp for the session, but had forgotten; instead Smear strung together some effect pedals, and plugged directly into the studio's mixing board.
A few days before the session, drummer Don Bolles came down to Los Angeles from Phoenix to audition for the group. He got the job, but it was too late for him to learn the songs in time to go into the studio. Instead, Nicky Beat played drums for the session. Bolles ended up provided backing vocals on No God.
The song Circle One is where Darby Crash's stage name had originated (a character in the lyrics); originally, he had taken the stage name Bobby Pyn.
Nicky Beat told the authors of the biography Lexicon Devil that he had "stolen" the opening drum beat on Circle One from the Allman Brothers song "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed."
The EP is out of print in its original form, but later appeared as part of the anthology (MIA): The Complete Discography.
If you don't own it, pick up the (MIA) album, it's interesting to track their progression.

Darby Crash – vocals
Pat Smear – guitar
Lorna Doom – bass
Don Bolles – drums
1. Throw It Away
2. Not All Right
3. Now I Hear the Laughter
4. Going Down
The Germs recorded six original songs with producer Jack Nitzsche for the soundtrack for Cruising, starring Al Pacino. Only the song, Lion's Share, ended up on the Columbia soundtrack LP, it was featured for about a minute in the movie, during a video-booth murder scene in an S&M club. Other songs from this session did not appear until the 1988 bootleg Lion's Share, along with four tracks from their infamous last show at the Starwood. The Cruising sessions were finally released officially on the (MIA): The Complete Recordings album.
This bootleg doesn't have Lion's Share and one other track from the sessions, but it's decent just the same. The Germs have always been hyped to death more or less. Yes, they were great on vinyl, but take a look at eBay and how many bootlegs are there floating around these days.
If you don't own it, pick up the (MIA) album, the songs are decent.

On to the story . . .
First off, I have a bit of a gripe! Once in a while I mention my old band, Cold War, in this column. Back when I put the band together, 1980, the name had meaning, we were at the start of eight years of Reganomics, and the "cold war" was a very topical subject; as Russia was a very real threat to America, a definite world power. Anyway, Cold War played a few times around the San Fernando Valley, ran a few ads, posted flyers, recorded a 2-song demo, and then called it quits. I know most people never heard of us, but within our little crowd, we were known. Now, after mentioning the band a handful of times, I see there is a group about twenty miles from where I live playing "punk shows" with the same name (http://www.hardcoreshowflyers.com/?p=449).
Again, it may be purely a coincidence, but the name hadn't been mentioned in damn near twenty years. My Cold War wasn't anywhere near as well known as other Valley bands like RF7 or Bad Religion, so the kids in this group may have never heard of us, but they may have read about us or seen the name in print. The down side of this is the name is now meaningless. After the "fall of communism" Russia is not a true threat anymore. Cool name, but no meaning after the eighties. Our generic flyer is on the left (please don't steal this), we'd put stick on letters or some kind of cut and paste text when we had a gig; it was also the cover for the demo.

]]>Under A Broken Street Lamp
Written by: Michael Essington and David Gurz
Essex Digital Media
Middle-age can be murder. The resiliency of youth has gone. The bones have become brittle. The blows seem to sink deeper–each one making the chances of mounting a spirited attack less likely. Only stubborn pride keeps you from sinking to the mat and curling up like a fetal pig.
Pride, and the legs of that girl holding up the round card. Looking at those sexy scissors circling the ring between beatings helps. "If I don't get KO'd, I just might have a chance at that."
No chance at all, really. But middle-age will make a man cling to his delusions. They're a cheap substitute for hope. Like a shrunken head necklace. Made out of fake shrunken heads.
Ah, hope. I remember rotary-dialed phones that were attached to a wall. Cigarette ads on TV. Drinking Schlitz beer through a triangle you punched in the can. Being able to go to 4th grade shit-hammered drunk.
And hope.
Don't bother looking around Under A Broken Street Lamp for any. You won't find it. This little chapbook is antiseptically-free of anything even slightly resembling it. It is cover-to-cover bummer and pain. For a natural depressive like me, lifts my spirits. Some weird counter-effect. Like giving speed to a spaz calms them down. Doom Lit picks me up.
It just so happens, the authors, Michael Essington and David Gurz are middle-aged. Coincidence? Hardly. If you need a strong downer fix, find an older dealer. They always have the strongest, most bestial brands. Middle-aged Misery can tie Teen Angst to a bunk and rawhide it like the little bitch it is.
In "Walter," Essington has the middle-aged protagonist, desperately flailing in mid-life crisis. A loveless marriage. Unresponsive children. A growing paunch. Thinning hair.
Eventually, Walter has enough. He decides to Carpe him some Diem. Begins banging out a twenty-something Scheherazade that works in his company's mailroom. Winds up taking her to Paris. Spends the kid's college fund. Alienates everyone he knows.
Bold action, indeed. Not for the timid, or those hindered by the fetters of conscience or reason. Bravo, I say.
Well, Walter finally nutted up and followed his bliss, and surprise, surprise, it destroys his family life. As if those two could've ever co-existed. Without giving away how it all ends for Walter, let's just say that suicide plays a big part–which sometimes, especially when you're in a relationship with a much younger woman, is about as good an ending as you can hope for.
So that's good.
Dave Gurz's contribution, Dead Calm, is a cheery little tale featuring an aging punk who just wants to be left alone to drink beer and read his Bukowski, and the sociopathic, serial-killing, junkie hooker that decides to become his sexy friend.
I don't know why this one particularly raised the hairs on the back of my neck. I guess Gurz is a good writer, because I could really picture this little vignette going down. And for some reason, in my imagination, at The Desert Sands Motel on Central Avenue in Albuquerque, N.M. Back in the winter of '98.
Well, I don't want to ruin this ending either, so like the kids today say, "spoiler alert," because it's not the hooker that gets her throat slit.
Sure, that's a refreshing change, but not enough to qualify it as a happy ending. I mean, the dude really was minding his own business. She didn't have to kill him. She could've taken his wallet. Given him crabs. Told him she was pregnant. Moved in and not paid any bills.
Okay. Maybe he did get off easy.
So that's good.
Also, subterraneans and sub-cult crawlers should enjoy Dave's Unter Kultur references. Ol' Gurz can get as real and grimy as a bus station handshake. Always enjoy the Gurz.
Oh, and as an added bonus, there's a poem by Essington, "Lazarus." A delightful ditty. The subject climbs out on a ledge to jump, but, without giving away too much, thanks to a pigeon's needy look, decides not to. The mastery here is that by the end of the poem, Essington leaves you subtly convinced that our man, made the wrong decision. Should've stomped the bird, then taken the Nestea plunge.
Now that's good writing.
I realize this sort of fare might not be for everyone. Unrelenting sadness and desperation might not be your cup of tea, and I know that sometimes I have to be in the right mood for suicide or murder.
Just keep in mind, that often, it's the bitterest tonic that has the strongest kick. Something having to do with alkaloids, I don't know, but Under A Broken Street Lamp packs a pretty decent punch in the guts, and fucks nicely with the head. What's not to love about that?
Pick it up and give it a read. Feel the sorrow drip off your elbows and pool around your shoes in big black puddles of gloom. It's a short-read chapbook. You can hit it quick. Then shit-can it. Along with the rest of the failure, you call your life.
Bon Jour.

I don't remember when I got this, but I have to say there are definitely good and bad things about this compilation. I think it may be a bootleg, taking the stuff from the Rise Above album and a handful of tracks floating around out there. First the positive, the packaging and sound quality are top notch. And any die-hard Black Flag will love the variety of artists that took time to give the mighty Flag a nod. The bad part of this the variety of artists that took time to give the mighty Flag a nod, meaning by adding some of these people to this compilation drives the album's value down.
Ice-T? I don't want to hear a fifty-year-old, who still attends pimp conventions, continue bitching about the police. Come on, once you reach a certain financial demographic police aren't really an issue anymore, are they?
I dig Henry's new version of Rise Above, Chuck D's intro brings a new level of intensity to the track. The track smokes. Rollins really stepped up his game, this is the best I've heard him in years.
Also, Corey Taylor of Slipknot does a scorching version of Room 13, not one of my favorite songs, but good just the same. Taylor used to date a girl who lived next door to my Mother, the girl was a porn star, so they used to invite my Mom along to get-togethers and parties, and I'll be dammed if she didn't pull out pictures, a few months back, of her hanging out with Corey Taylor. He's not easy to recognize without the crazy mask, but it's him.
Rise Above
"Jealous cowards try to control
Rise above
Were gonna rise above
They distort what we say
Rise above
Were gonna rise above
Try and stop what we do
Rise above
When they can't do it themselves
We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us its no use
Society's arms of control
Rise above
Were gonna rise above
Think they're smart
Can't think for themselves
Rise above
Were gonna rise above
Laugh at us
Behind our backs
I find satisfaction
In what they lack
We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us its no use
We are born with a chance
Rise above
Were gonna rise above
I am gonna have my chance
Rise above
Were gonna rise above
We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us its no use
Rise above
Rise above
Rise above
Were gonna rise above
Were gonna rise above
Were gonna rise above."
Henry just celebrated his 53rd birthday in November; check out this interview with him on the Swindle magazine site, he's always got something to say – so it makes for a decent read. Check it out at: http://swindlemagazine.com/issue10/henry-rollins/

]]>Civet, Continental, Plexikill, Fem (or Fam?)
The Echo, Los Angeles, CA
Saturday, April 23, 2011
I've a fan of Rick Barton's from way back, and a massive fan of Everybody Out. So when I heard EBO split I was pretty bummed out. About a year back Bart had posted some demo tracks from his new band, Continental. Unfortunately, I was too scared to listen to this stuff. Let me clarify this, not scared, scared, but more worried that after loving Everybody Out, what if this didn't measure up? Because this time Rick Barton sang, played electric and acoustic guitar, and wrote the material. What if, after juggling all these tasks, I didn't like it?!
Continental hit Los Angeles, about, six to nine months ago, opening for Street Dogs (whose last album was co-produced by Barton). I can't remember why, but I wasn't able to make these shows.
Fast forward six to nine months, and Continental have two tours going, a solo tour, and a tour with Hellcat Records artist Civet. Rick Barton had posted a little one or two sentence shout out about the tour, and the need for publicity. So, I told him I could knock out a couple of flyers for him. I got the dates from his Son Steven (the band's bass player), and I noticed a show here in L.A. So, I had to go.
For a while the band offered their new EP, Death of A Garage Band, free on their site (which I will review soon). And let me say it was great.
Anyway, my Wife, and I, hop in the car, and get to the Echo inside of 30 to 35 minutes. Get in the door to see an empty club. Ouch.
Only the other bands, and merchandise people are milling around. Barton comes out with his, somewhat, famous, Boston terrier, Brutus. We talk for a bit, about this and that, and how the place is empty. He left to walk Brutus, and I'm in fan-boy heaven.
The first band on was Fem (or Fam?). I couldn't make out their name. It was two guys, one playing guitar (and singing), and the other guy on bass. They did about five songs, and on one of them the guitarist put down his guitar, and switched to a Casio keyboard with a built-in drum machine, and played a song that way. There were a couple of times I wondered if this was being done legit, because the guys seemed have this ongoing monologue going, and it appeared to be, kind of, a parody. All in all they were decent.
The next band up was Plexikill. Plexikill is, in my opinion, a combination of Rancid, and the Ramones, with pop-punk harmonies. Much better than I expected, being I hadn't heard of the group.
These guys are seasoned professionals.
The band I was waiting for! Continental! There are so many great influences rolled into this group that it's hard to categorize them. I think I compared them to my Sister-In-law as the early Rolling Stones, the stuff you hear on Hot Rocks, Mother's Little Helper era. Just great, straight forward rock and roll.
Rick and the guys ran through the bulk of the EP, and an old Dropkick Murphys song he wrote, and a couple other cuts. All in all it was a great thirty-minute set. The club filled up, and everybody was singing along.
I kind of wished they played another hour or so.
The last band was Civet. They played a good strong set. One of the highlights was the Tim Armstrong penned song off of their new album.
My overall assessment, great night!

This is exactly the sound of hardcore in the clubs back in the eighties. It's a sound that is difficult to explain. But if you were there, you understand what I'm trying to explain. Raw, Barebones, amateurish, but somewhat edgy. Dr. Strange records did another bang-up job here.

On to the story . . .
In the late nineties, I was working at an ad agency, as the sole designer for a woman who prior to starting her company was a secretary for a very high-profile ad agency.
She borrowed money from her gay (literally gay, not an insult) husband, and her shrew of a mother-in-law, and rented to offices in a Woodland Hills complex. She identified herself as the owner, and art director. One of the main problems with this was she could not operate any of the programs people design in. No Photoshop and no Illustrator. She could poke around in Quark.
I started working for her as a freelance designer, working from my in-laws guesthouse in North Hills. I worked this way for a few months, and then one day she asked me to come in for a chat. I came in; she offered me a full time gig. I accepted, it sounded good at the time.
I was primarily a Photoshop artist at the time. I had been profiled in about eight different design publications, and feeling pretty confident about my skills. During the final interview/chat with the owner I had brought up some of my "press." And being she couldn't really design my being written about seemed to rub her the wrong way.
Once I become the on-site designer Photoshop couldn't be used anymore. I had to take individual images, and stack them in Quark, so that she could move things a quarter of an inch here, and a quarter of an inch there. So, that she felt like she had finished the project.
The more I protested, the more she would find ways to belittle me. If we were in a meeting, she would tell everyone that I was going to stand at the board, and do highlight points, and illustrations to enhance the meeting.
So, I started to do this little passive-aggressive thing. Prior to me starting there she had a very low budget facelift done. There were scars right where her cheeks meet her ears. So when she would talk to me, I would stare at the scars. I wouldn't say anything, and I wouldn't make eye contact.
I hate to stereotype people, but I have never had a female boss, that wasn't this way. The constant need to let you know that they are in charge.
One of the final projects I worked on was a three-foot, by four-foot poster for an electronics company. They were having their annual company convention in Las Vegas. Their idea was to have a vintage Harley Davidson-biker poster created.
They were having some of their international sales people fly in. And to make the convention a "big deal," they were going to raffle off a brand new Harley Davidson. So, she wanted me to put together a "fantastic" poster. I said of course, but not in Quark. She stared at me for a bit. I think it clicked that by forcing me to work beneath my abilities, it ultimately made the company look sloppy.
So I spent a week, finding images, and scanning stuff, and finding retro-fonts, etc. Some images I found on a couple of royalty-free websites.
I printed out a full-color proof for her at a quarter of the actual size. The client loved it. They wanted the fonts to be more "boring." I changed the fonts, and a large-format company printed the full-scale poster.
Now the owner, she seemed confused by the whole finding images on the web thing. When the client came to see the poster they loved it. Then the owner piped in, "I'm not sure how to bill you for this, as all the images were stolen from the web."
I applied for another job that afternoon. Then quit over the phone the next week. They tried to refuse to give me my final check until I came through for an exit interview. I basically told them to blow it out your ass, and if they wanted to f' with my check I'd sue. A courier brought it by the next day.

2 – Black Dream
3 – All Murder All Guts All Fun
4 – Macabre
5 – He-Who-Can-Not-Be-Named
6 – Horror Biz
7 – The Shift

Glenn Danzig- Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards, Drums on Archangel

Steve Zing – Drums on all songs except Archangel
Lyle Preslar – Guitar on tracks 2, 4, 6 & 7
Mike Gutilla – Keyboard chimes on tracks 6 & 7
Al Pike – 2nd Bass on Archangel
Once you get through this long as hell title track . . . you'll discover Samhain is much darker than the Misfits, with lyrics about the occult and eventually the horrors of reality, as opposed to the sometimes cartoonish ghouls, and ghosts of the Misfits. Samhain's musical style was a dark, gritty, and experimental combination of punk, gothic rock.
Danzig originally planned Samhain as a side project, but after The Misfits dissolved, it became a full-time band. Samhain is the least-celebrated of Danzig's music; it bridges the gap between the punk of the Misfits, and the metal sound of Danzig.
If you don't own it, it's worth a listen, but not worth buying.
Rating: * ** one out of three stars.
Unholy Passion
1985 – Plan 9 Records
Producer: Glenn Danzig

5 – Misery Tomb – 3:24
6 I Am Misery – 3:40
Glenn Danzig – Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards
Eerie Von – Bass
Damien – Guitar
Steve Zing – Drums
Samhain released two full-length albums, and one EP during their three-year career as an active band. Some criticized their first album for being merely the Misfits slowed down, but Samhain demonstrated noticeably superior musicianship. However, as their career progressed, they evolved into their own unique style of lo-fi gothic-doom, and gained a cult following that surpassed the modest fanbase The Misfits had while they were active.
A Samhain show was an energetic, and unpredictable event. Sometimes Danzig could be seen donning a bizarre demon-shaped leather S&M mask and occasionally he, and his bandmates went onstage covered in mock blood.
If you don't own it, it's worth a listen, but not worth buying.
Rating: * ** one out of three stars.

Eerie Von – Bass, background vocals
Damien – Guitar, background vocals
London May – Drums (tracks 2-3, 5, 7, 9), background vocals
Samhain III: November-Coming-Fire was the band Samhain's third release. It was issued in 1986 on Danzig's record label, Plan 9. It is considered to be the band's best piece of work, as they were evolving their own style of music, which was often described as gothic metal despite a lack of musical connections to the genre. It contains a re-recorded version of The Misfits' "Halloween II." This was the last LP issued by the band during its existence.
Danzig took the name of the band Samhain, from the ancient Celtic New Year, which influenced the modern Halloween. The band's name is pronounced "sow-win", although the name is often incorrectly pronounced as "Sam-Hane". Both Samhain, and its successor Danzig use the same horned skull image originally drawn by artist Michael Golden for the cover of the 1984 comic book Crystar, Crystal Warrior #8, published by Marvel Comics (http://www.comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=212228&zoom=4).
If you don't own it, it's worth a listen, you might want to pick this up, and it's closer to the old Misfits sound.

]]>Volbeat, The Damned Things, Hourcast
House of Blues, Los Angeles, CA
Wednesday, April 6, 2011
On March 13, 2011, my 45th Birthday rolled around, and I wasn't the least bit excited about it. It's one of those things where you, kind of, re-evaluate your life every few years, and feel like you haven't accomplished shit. Besides having every other forty-year-old woman on Facebook hitting on me, I was feeling like I hadn't done much.
Anyway, Eric Leach of Symbol Six picked me up, took me way the hell out to Dr. Strange Records, I loaded up with music, went to lunch with Bill Plaster, and had a pretty good day.
Almost a month later, my Brother surprises me with tickets to see Volbeat at the House of Blues on Sunset Boulevard. In case you haven't heard of Volbeat, they are a band from Copenhagen, Denmark, described as James Hetfield's favorite band. They are a combination of punk, rockabilly, death metal, and a pinch or Johnny Cash. Confused? Shouldn't be. This is a great energetic mix of music.
Anyway, my Brother, a friend of his, my Wife, and I, hop in the car, and get to the House of Blues inside of 30 to 45 minutes. Get to the door to see comedian Brian Posehn walking in. Funny dude.
So, we walk to the front of the stage to catch the first band, Hourcast. And through Hourcast's whole set Brian Posehn is standing next to me, all nine feet of him.
Hourcast is a moody combination of The Cure, and HIM. Musically pretty good, but teetering on Goth Metal.
The next band up was The Damned Things. The Damned Things is a super-group consisting of Joe Trohman, and Andy Hurley of Fall Out Boy, Scott Ian, and Rob Caggiano of Anthrax, and Keith Buckley and Josh Newton of Every Time I Die.
These guys are seasoned professionals, the only flaw was the mix on the microphone was off, so the whole set, the vocals sounded like they were underwater.
Scott Ian was on guitar, and he kicked ass. The band played all ten songs from their 2010 album Ironclast.
Brian Posehn, who was standing beside me through both bands disappeared after The Damned Things.
I keep notes at shows, and for The Damned Things, I wrote straightforward rock with only occasional growling. God, I'm funny.
Here's where things get weird, not with Volbeat. Volbeat put on a damn near flawless set. They did great versions of songs like The Mirror and the Ripper, Heaven Nor Hell and Fallen, from their latest album. As well a ramped-up version of Bay City Rollers I Only Want To Be With You.
Now back in the early eighties when slamming became the staple of hardcore punk shows, it was based on the pace of the music, the energy in the room. Nowadays, a band could be playing a ballad and these jerk-off's will go ape-shit.
Here's my theory on it: you get a roomful of people that weren't loved enough by Mom, and loved too much by Dad (follow me so far?), they fill up on booze, hit the slam pit with one goal in mind, "God dammit, I'm going to prove to the world that I am a man!"
That's great; if it helps you sleep on your tear-soaked pillow, then slam, ass-hat. The only problem is if I am tapping my foot, and you're swept-up in a surge of homoerotic energy, and ram me during a slow-paced rockabilly song, I'm going to lay you out. And the beauty of being a gray-haired 45-year-old man is that security doesn't seem to believe that I had anything to do with these guys laying face down on the concrete.
Anyway, Volbeat put on a great show, and as the show was winding down the vocalist, Michael Poulsen said if anybody wanted to hang out he'd be at the bar after the show. So, the whole place emptied out except for, maybe, 50 of us diehards (hell it was a Wednesday night), and sure enough at around 12:30, 12: 45 he comes over the bar smiling at the turn-out. So, me, my Wife, and my Brother all get a picture with him, and he looks at me, with a smirk, and says "I saw you out there." A little reference to me putting some kids to sleep.
My overall assessment, great night!

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — A woman has pleaded guilty to lying to investigators of a man's whereabouts in the hours after he shot a Sioux City police officer.
The Sioux City Journal (http://bit.ly/1CHmngh ) reports Kimberly Smith of Sioux City pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy to defraud the United States by obstruction or interfering with governmental functions.
Smith admitted that Jamal Dean arrived at her residence in 2013 shortly after shooting officer Kevin McCormick during a traffic stop. She helped Dean's father, Levon Dean, hide the vehicle he used to pick up his son near the shooting scene.
Smith later told police she hadn't seen Jamal Dean that day.
Dean's father has pleaded guilty to helping his son evade arrest.
Jamal Dean has been sentenced to 25 years in prison in the shooting.

Rogers Hi-Speed
I'm on Bell Fibe 25/10 and I've only had the service for about 2 weeks. I ordered it using a Dell Grab and Go voucher which gives the first 3 months of service and free installation.
I asked for an evening appointment (after 5 pm) and there was no problem. The tech who came to do the install was great, very professional (unlike other Bell techs I dealt with in the past), he called in advance to let me know he was on the way and came on time. He had 2 hours allocated for it but finished everything in about an hour (he had to change the demarc box because I had an old rusty one).
The service is good so far and I am happy. I am not a heavy downloader, so I think the bandwidth allowance will be fine. I just wanted a higher upload speed than what's available on the ADSL tiers and cable. The only other option was Teksavvy (which has been my ISP for several years before switching) but because of the dry loop fee and mandatory modem rental fee imposed on the Fibe package, it would have costed me about $20 more per month.
Update, 3 months after the installation:
My 3 months of free service are up and I made some changes to my account, namely switched to a plan a bit cheaper, the 15/10 (same great upload speed which is the most important for me at this time).
Unfortunately I can't say the change went through without any problems but all were fixed in the end.
The first problem was a technical one, they set me up with a profile with 8 Mbps upload so since my line could do better before the change, I called and asked to be tweaked. Initially I was told that's the best the line could do, then when I pushed a little bit they escalated it to the second level who said I would receive a call within 24-48 hours. The tech called me about 7-8 hours later and was totally unprepared, he said initially I was on the Fibe 6 package, I told him "that's not true", he said "call our customer service". Then a few minutes later he called again, said I'm on Fibe 15 and he will change my upload speed to 1 Mbps, because there's no such thing as 10 Mbps. I told him to stop, don't make any change and double check, he went and did it anyways and changed my profile from a VDSL to an ADSL one.
I opened another ticket and about 14 hours later my speed was fixed and works great.
The second issue was with billing, they tried to charge me starting 3 months from the day the service was ordered rather than the day it was installed. I opened another ticket (over their chat) and this got fixed as well.

Engadget goes hands-on with CarPlay and other news from March 4, 2014
Sister site Engadget and other sites are starting to get a hands-on look at Apple's CarPlay system, one of the holdovers from last year's WWDC. As Engadget observes:
The first thing we noticed is how speedy everything is. Apps load quickly, and Siri's contextual algorithms hastily recognized our voice commands and responded appropriately. Apple has also implemented safety features to ensure services do not draw your attention away from the road and push forward its "hands-free" theme. For example, when we sent or received a message from a contact, Siri would only read the message back to us and we never once got the chance to see its contents.
You can see the full video above.
Other news from Tuesday afternoon includes:
- RadioShack plans to close 1,100 of its stores, meaning that for some, they will have to seek elsewhere to get an iPhone.
- Apple has won a patent that is designed to listen to your voicemail as the message is being recorded in an effort to screen calls.
- John Gruber has "heard from a little birdie" that the iTunes Festival app for the US festival requires iOS 7.1, ergo it should drop any time now.
- We at TUAW got to try out TwelveSouth's SurfacePad for the iPhone during Macworld/iWorld 2013, and now there's a version out for the iPad mini. For those holding out for a larger version for the iPad Air, it should be on the way in the spring.
And kick back with these features:
Software Updates
more updates- Apple Remote Desktop updated with Yosemite support
- OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, iOS 8.1.3 updates now available
- Sports Illustrated 120 SPORTS channel comes to Apple TV

evenin' y'all.i've been on a shopping spree the last few weeks. muchas USB at apprx $30. added 50% to FAX position at $6.40 today - wish i'd bought more. MRH below $16, and JNJ at $60. added to CHRS. still like those big girls!!!was thinking about BAC the last few weeks and saw today the old man bought some in Q2. maybe it will dip a bit.also looking at FBTX.i am so heavy into PGH i have not added but think it is a long term buy at these prices.thinking about WMT again. i had a large position and sold out Q4 last year. but it appears to be at the bottom of a very long trading range which began in 1999.the banks look attractive here to me. maybe when all these pseudo non regulated mortgage companies go under, the conservative run banks will get higher yields on their loans with better collateral than heretofore since the housing bubble started.trixie was out in full force today.i feel like i'm smarter than i was in 2003 when i made some mistakes. hopefully my investment returns will reflect that.what's everybody else doing?bdl
hey y'all.i did buy FBTX last week (also BAC) but i guess i don't get credit for a real time post. in any case, i'm happy about today.good luck everybody,bdl
I bought 2010 FFH calls today. On the conference call, they indicated that they had in excess of $100M of gains on credit default swaps subsequent to the June quarterly report. It should be worth more now and probably trades at book value.
thanks agate...maybe I add, I cought a very small position over a year ago when it nearly crashed..and then it went up so fast,I never added to it..it's just been hanging around in my PF.
added some to LUK....
sorry ,forgot ! also took a position in BHP and added to AAUKD

This just became my favorite new eyeliner last week...until i had to sharpen it...it just becomes a crazy hot mess when you sharpen it! the eyeliner itself is great! lasts all day, even on your waterline...but they need to put it in a pot or make it a little more solid...i have to put it on with an eyeliner brush bc its a big goopy mess after i sharpened it....

a great eyeliner ! i always had a problem finding an eyelier that didn't come off and end up all over my undereyes and this is it ! even without setting it with an eyeshadow this lasts about six hours for me. it is so smooth and creamy and just glides on and is the blackest eyeliner i have used.

I'm a contact lens wearer and after reading reviews about how it gets onto the contacts after applying on the waterline, I decided to only use this for my top lashline. It is a very dark black color and creamy on initial application. I bought it for 6 bucks at Target (reg. price) and use my Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in black on my waterline. The UD eyeliner isn't as dark as this MIlani eyeliner but I prefer that my waterline isn't as dark as the liner on my top lashline. The finished look is exactly like my MAC gel liner: dark and beautiful. I may repurchase this if it doesn't irritate me like it did to others.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm

This is a really great eyeliner. The color is VERY pigmented and it is very creamy and smooth. You can also use an eyeliner brush to apply a more precise line and it works very much like a gel eyeliner. It stays on all day for me on the upper lash line, although it does smudge and fade a bit on the waterline at the end of the day.
With that being said, it's a bit of a pain to remove this from my eyes because it stays on so well. Also, I just don't LOVE this product because it irritates my eyes when I put it on the waterline :[. But overall, this is probably one of the best drugstore eyeliners, in my opinion, if you're looking for something very black that will last all day!

So I was really wanting this for a whle after I had read so much about it. It came highly recommended to me by girls on beauty broadcast fb page. Anywho I finally went out and bought it at CVS for around 7 bucks. Before that I was trying a few others ( Elf black cream eyeliner, elf eye pen, UD liquid eyeliner from the Book of Shadows )
I first put it on my waterline the night I bought it. It immediately made my eyes feel irritated, dry and itchy. THe next day I put it on my top line and then under my bottom lashline since it had burned the night before. HORRIBLE! I had to take my son to the doctor and the whole way driving my eyes were killing me. This continued all day and my eyes ( even after removing it and showering ) still feel irritated. I am not sure if it is just me?? Anyone else have this problem?
It is thick, dark and glides on easy, but it is CRAZY hard to get off! It took me forever after I showered to get it all off. Whew..I think I wikll be chunking it as my eyes are still killing me!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
I bought this because many have recommended this eyeliner to me and considering that it is drugstore, I decided to try it. I was a little worried that my eyes would react to it because a lot of people mentioned sensitivity issues. This happened only once after wearing it religiously for a month, and it went away in less than five minutes. This eyeliner is very dark, and goes on verryyyy smoothly, I especially like to use it on my waterline. It's probably stayed on the longest out of all eyeliners I've ever tried. The only downside is that it did smudge a little by the end of the day, but definitely did not make me look like a raccoon! The eyeliner also has a slight blue undertone but is hardly noticeable unless you're incredibly picky like me.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Dark, Neutral
Hair: Black, Kinky, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I tried this after reading all the reviews here, and I like it, not love it. It's very good, but not great on me. It is dark, dark, inky black and easy to use. When I put it to the test, it stayed just as I applied it on my upper eyelid, but disappeared from my waterline within hours. I prefer the Cover Girl Liquiline Blast because it lasts on my waterline longer. I do not regret buying this and I would buy it in a pinch as an alternative to the Liquiline.
Edit 8/5/12: Giving back 2 lippies, bringing the overall rating to 5. While the CG Liquiline is more user friendly, the Milani cannot be beaten in color. Now that I've figured out how to set this with black eyeshadow, this is my go-to for dramatic eye looks. I've even used it as an eye base in a pinch.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
As others have noted, this pencil has a wonderful, creamy texture and goes on as a true, intense black. I like the way that it applies and the price is right. I won't be repurchasing, however, because it smears and migrates on me-- I end up a mess.
I have recently tried the Prestige Total Intensity pencil and prefer it.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Very pigmented & very creamy.
It works great on the top of my lids, and I do have the asian eyelids.
But doesnt work well on my lower lashline and waterline if I go out for a long period of time (as in, hanging out with my friends, laughing, hot weather etc) I got really excited when I got this as a bday present and I saw tons of good reviews, but it did melt on my waterline and smudge on my lashline :/
I only use it during winter or when I go out with my family :3

Our room was nice. Right near the exit so we could come and go quickly.
The staff were not that friendly. The toilet handle and lid were broken. What sounded like a wrestling match broke out in the room above us at midnight and the management did nothing about it, even after multiple calls. They do not allow pets so our dog had to stay elsewhere.
Excellent for it's value, clean.
Needs more on breakfast even just for an oatmeal.
We were attending a swim competition at Palo Alto college..... So the location was perfect-- Directly across the street!
Older facilities..... Room didn't really look like it had been cleaned or vacuumed well. I should have known what I was going to get for the money :-(. I also didn't like the fact that they took a photocopy of my drivers license (?) and couldn't give me a real good reason why.
The staff was very warm and welcoming. The breakfast had fresh fruit and good waffles. The room was mostly clean. The bathroom was nice with decent shampoo and a coffee maker. There was fairly good security to get into the side doors.
The sheets were old and worn and a few long hairs on the beds. There was a lot of dust behind the night stand. The area of town was rough and gangsta with only few places to go to eat that didn't seem somewhat dangerous. The room seemed a bit overpriced for the location.
Great staff, great location for flea markets.
But room not clean. Still trash from the people before. Hair on sheets so they might not have been changed.
We stayed two nights, was gunna leave after the first night cause there was no hot water, told staff all they said was i called manager he said every room has hot water. Not. The staff told us we had to run the sink water first when it gets hot turn on the bath water it will get hot, so we stayed the second night. Did what they said to do , still no hot water in bath tub. They did nothing about it. We had to pay for two full nights. We will never stay at a Days Inn ever again. It was a nightmare. Plus the breakfast was really bad, one lady pulled out 4 pieces of bread and it had mold all over them
Our stay was comfortable do to service and helpfulness of staff
Very Clean
The staff responded promptly to the faulty or missing accessories in the room.
Breakfast could stand a little more variety since it can repetitive over a several day stay.
Cheap rate but you don't get what you pay for.
Our iron didn't work, the hairdryer was missing. We attempted to contact the front desk by phone several times and it was busy. My husband went down to ask for hairdryer and was told one would be sent right up, never received it. Room smelled musty and the toilet bowl had stains in it.
The price that I got online was great, friendly staff and a clean place to stay.
What I didn't like was that I could hear the people upstairs , next door and on the hall.
The location was easy enough for me to find. The room was reasonably clean. It was not too loud.
I went down for a waffle. When I searched the web for motels this site asked if I wanted breakfast. I clicked yes. I was hoping for eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy. What they had was the Texas shaped waffle. Not too bad. Just wishing. The guy at the desk got on to me because I grabbed some milk out of the refrigerator. I understand that the closet was not a public place. If there was milk out so I could get to it I wouldn't have had a problem.
Convenient location on the South side of San Antonio
Didn't need to spend much idle time at facility. Always had something to do.
At check in when we as we were going to our room it smelled of weed.
Although in the south side of SA it's access to 410 and 37 gets you into town fairly easily.
