"Monumental" is right. How long do you reckon it will take to clear the a/c, clear the ramp (or the busses), clear customs, or (if there is an incident) clear the bodies?
Seems to me one former limiting factor in the size of passenger planes was the death toll if one crashed.
Remember the story about the Piper Cub/Auster that crashed into a cemetery in ______? At last count 300 bodies had been removed......

It's the Ford Excursion SUV of the commercial airliner world.
|May 18, 2006, 06:20 PM
Bzzzt.....Rubbish. Those Rolls Royce Trent 900 engines are the most fuel efficient engines ever! When the number of people this plane can carry, together with aircraft weight, cargo and fuel consumption are taken into account they're equivalent to the fuel efficency of 1.5 litre car, which is, er, more fuel efficient than an SUV.....
|May 18, 2006, 06:26 PM
Does Hertz at Heathrow have 840 cars available for these passengers?
What's that do to the air quality?
How many of these SUVs can Heathrow (or any airport) put up with on any given day?
|May 18, 2006, 06:38 PM
The Excursion gets 13 MPG, and seats 9, and so when fully occupied delivers 117 passenger miles per gallon. That is exactly the same logic behind the efficiency numbers for the Airbus.
The only difference is that every highway the Excursion drives on does not have to be upgraded to the tune of half a billion dollars. I mean really, is that what is considered "Efficient"?
It's a magnificent achievement, but it remains to be seen if it's a smart investment.

I hate unloading from large planes, seems like the actual flight is shorter.
|May 18, 2006, 06:56 PM
Its a great achievement for airbus .
As for the Boeing swipe
Airbus has to do a complete redesign of it new A350
To compete with the 787 6 to 8 very long years of it
Boeing is set to take this market
Boeing looks to be eating and eating well but its not there heart

|May 18, 2006, 09:26 PM
Good luck on someone hijacking one of those!
|May 18, 2006, 09:30 PM
It's just the really vivid and messy nature of the potential death that makes it scary. One of those big, fat tourist buses with wings would have to crash every month to equal the number of people killed on American roads.
|May 18, 2006, 10:01 PM
Airbus bet on huge planes, Boeing is betting on mid sized planes.
Both can be right and it's better that they compete this way rather than both try to make a super jumbo.
|May 18, 2006, 10:03 PM
Like Aerogel said, it's prolly not a good time to take a swipe at Boeing as things appear to be turning around for them. For the first time in years, the value of Boeings backlog exceeds that of Airbus.
The new, largest 777 has taken nearly all the orders away from the A340-500 and 600. For all practical purposes the A340 is dead--unless someone starts giving fuel away.
The all-new 787 looks to be a real show stopper in the mid-size category, basically making obsolete the 757, 767 and A330.
The A350's THIRD design (still an A330 knockoff) has been roundly rejected by the majors as too narrow, too slow and not innovative enough. The airlines want a NEW PLANE.
The 747-8F has A380F potential customers delaying decisions. Emirates just dropped their 380F order--converting to passengerwhile awaiting Boeings 747-8F specs.
That leaves Airbus with their wildly successful (though heavily discounted) A320 family and the A380 as new, sellable products leaving a great big gap in the mid-size product offering. Sure, they will sell some A330s because Boeings 787 backlog is a couple years out.
Meanwhile, Boeing has the bases covered with their very-successful 737 family for the single isle, the 787 and 777 covering the middle to mid large and the 747-8 (prolly just the freighter) taking a bite out of the A380s order book.
So while Airbus agonizes over what to do with the A350, Boeing is thinking about an all-new replacement for 737. The B737/A320 families sell more units than all other Boeing and Airbus products combined, so a winner here could have major ramifications.
Anyways, competition is good, and I wish both companies success.

Is new pressure treated lumber safe to use?
Are the chemicals used in pressure treated (PT) lumber today safe enough to use for garden beds? I had heard that the chemicals used today are not the same as used years ago. Just curious, as cedar and hemlock are expensive compared to PT.
Using untreated pine is cheap, but does not last long.
I have a theory about question such as "Is new pressure treated lumber safe to use?". Some who ask the question are looking for confirmation of bias i.e. some think it is not and are looking for persons to respond it is not, some think it is OK and are looking for persons to respond that it is OK.
I think you should go with your feeling and do what makes you comfortable.
If you are looking to garden organically, it will not suffice, but if you aren't so worried about that, I agree with going with what you are most comfortable.
I use yellow pine. It works fine, I replace boards about every 5 years (here in humid south) and it is cheap, organically compatible but this year grew some funky fungi (on the outside).
Apologies for being blunt but, Are You Crazy? If you are 75 and dont plan on feeding any kids with the harvest then go for it otherwise No No a thousand times no. Someone says it's safe..what if they are wrong? Think about this how many forms of cancer are there that science doesn't know the cause of for certain. What is certain is that chemicals are often mentioned as a potential cause..
There's no need to run around being scared of the world. There's enough of that going around anyway, lately.
The biggest issue with the old treated lumber isn't even your plants...it's touching the wood while harvesting your plants.
Your grocery store has more dangerous snack foods, imo.
As crazy as it sounds, I totally agree with nc. There's a lot of other things you ought to be worrying about then treated lumber. As nc said, even the old stuff was just fine, so long as you weren't rubbing your hands on it, inhaling, touching, or spreading the sawdust on your soil, or especially burning it. Nc also hits the nail on the head with what's available at your grocery store; could be dangerous, then again, maybe not.
Ya know, a good example is something I get asked all the time. I am an industrial electrician, spending a lot of my time working on large machinery, high voltage, and live equipment. People ask why I chose such a dangerous occupation, and I always respond "the most dangerous part of my job is the drive to and from work". Sounds crazy, but I've had plenty more close calls while driving than anything else. So, go ahead and use treated lumber, because the most dangerous part of using it will be the drive to the store to get it.
I personally would rather use untreated wood such as cedar, despite the higher cost, on anything that will come into direct contact with soil that I'm planting in, especially for food, or that rain could wash or leach into the soil. The only thing that would persuade me otherwise would be an actual analysis.
Chromium and copper isn't going to do anything to your soil leeching from pressure treated wood.
The copper generally keeps the wood from getting that brown/green "funk" rot going on. It's used a lot to spray down organic tree fruits in some areas. Chromium is pretty benign, though some think inhaling it when it's airborne is a mild danger...wear a mask if you're cutting planks.

soothing,but sad

You are amazing. This piece just grabs you and throws you into a world of emotion. The background choir is just great.
Awesome work! I also love "The Composer"!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
An amazing theme from the Paladin Game. Truly this is one of my favorites.
Not only is the song itself amazing, but the loop is almost dead-on perfect. The only problem is when it gets to the beginning again it will cut out for a short moment.
As a fan of both the game and it's soundtrack, i feel that a 5 star is well deserved here.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
What an Awesome song! I love this. So dramatic XD
Rated 5 / 5 stars
you got my respect on that one even if its a sad but relaxing song

Comment on "Outrageous!" – K-ON! Movie Denied Top Academy Award by KingFisher:
Hey, Akira is an excellent film. Don't knock it down like that. And just because something becomes mainstream doesn't mean its shit. Plenty of stuff start out as a cult following and then get popular latter. Get over yourself about how everything that becomes mainstream is shit. That's like an emo, 8th grader attitude you got there. Are you trying to be a rebel or something and think it's cool because its not.

Agreed. Shinkai Makoto is awesome.
- "Outrageous!" – K-ON! Movie Denied Top Academy Award:
Miyazaki movies aren't that bad but why are they still getting awards when no new Ghibli films have come out in the past 2 years. I haven't seen anything new since Ponyo. And I think it's unfair to give the top prize to a Ghibli film which already won the same prize years ago.

On to the story . . .
On Saturday night I went to bed shortly after my daughter left my place. It was a goodbye of sorts as she flew to Oklahoma today. Put my son to bed, I headed upstairs to bed myself. My wife stayed downstairs on her Kindle for a bit and said that she'd be up in a little while.
In bed, I picked up a book and tried to read. I glossed over the same page three times. I have no idea what I read. Picked up my phone, checked Facebook and looked at the latest releases on NetFlix. The wife came up and tucked herself in.
I got up and went back downstairs, turned on the cable and channel-surfed for hours. Ask The Dust, Eyes Wide Shut and a superhero flick I can't recall.
I finally staggered into bed at around 4:00 or 4:30 a.m. Closed my eyes and at 7:45 I hear, "Hey, dad, let's go to breakfast!" "Sure son. Let's go."
It finally dawned on me this morning. I'm not sad that my daughter shipped off to the military, I'm sad that she isn't little anymore. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, damn near, perfect little girl. And as I write this I'm a bit brokenhearted that she grew-up and is starting the grown-up portion of her life.

On March 21, 2008, I saw an ad on Craig's List announcing a moving sale, and a bunch of vintage punk buttons, stickers, fanzines, and music. So, I printed the ad I drove over to the place with my three-year-old son (he's not a fan, yet). I got there just in time, they were about to pack everything up and call it a day. All the music was gone, and I have no use for stickers. So, I picked up this issue of Flipside, and a few buttons, a book, and a DVD.
The Flipside blew me away; I haven't picked up an issue since the early to mid '80's. The cover is in color and has a UPC code on it. I'm really showing my age. Anyway, there is an interview with a band called Mongoloid, which is a Devo tribute band, back in the '80's you would catch so much crap if you admitted to liking them (which I did), and tables turned, they're accepted, maybe even cool. The other stand out interview was a group called Blood Axis the interview was done to determine if they were a fascist band. With all the hemming, and hawing and double talk I couldn't figure out if they were or not, not that it matters I had never heard of the group anyway. This is what I found online about them (for those of you that are interested):
"Michael Moynihan formed Blood Axis in 1989 after touring Japan at the request of experimental music pioneer, Boyd Rice. Moynihan had previously founded Coup de Grace, a multimedia project that produced live performances, and cassettes, and also released booklets of images and texts, the last of which was Friedrich Nietzsche's The Antichrist.
The first outputs from the new appellation were two songs, "Lord of Ages" (employing lyrics from Rudyard Kipling's poem on Mithras) and "Electricity", which appeared on a German music sampler. These tracks were well received in Europe and were followed by two more songs that appeared on the seminal compilation, I'm Blutfeuer. In 1995, Moynihan released the first full length studio LP, The Gospel of Inhumanity.
The album wedded the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and Sergei Prokofiev with modern electronics. Moynihan implemented a recording of Ezra Pound reading from his The Cantos. He also included lyrics from Nietzsche and Longfellow as well as his own in the work. The album begins with a sample from the decisive final sequence of the film The Wicker Man.
In 1997, Blood Axis played a concert for the tenth anniversary of Cold Meat Industry, a Swedish record label. The performance was later recorded, remastered, and released as BLOT: Sacrifice in Sweden."
Buying this issue of Flipside was a nostalgic purchase, I saw the logo, and had to grab it, but I was so out of the loop that the magazine may as well have been written in another language. But for those people that kept up with the issues, and bands from the 1970's to the present will dig this.
If you get the chance, give this a read through, it's interesting, but not worth owning. It's a great snapshot of a great time in punk rock, unfortunately not a time period I was familiar with.

On to the story . . .
On March 13, 2008, when I turned 42, and something seemed to happen when I got to this point in my life . . . I got nostalgic. Over the course of the last three years or so I have replaced my entire comic book collection that I once owned from the early 1970's to the mid 1970's. And I have, just about, all the punk albums, and fanzines that I owned in the early 1980's. I don't know my reasoning for "needing" these things again, whatever the reason is, I needed to go back to a different place. A place where this music had meaning, a place where we were creating this. Whereas today's "punk" has had so much time to sit back and analyze the last 25 to 30 years worth of music and perfect it. See what worked, what didn't and expand on that concept. And what has happened is it has left the original guys feeling a bit bitter. Just the same way Chuck Berry and Little Richard were pissed when Elvis or Pat Boone would make a mint covering their songs. The original guys behind the first and second waves of punk were happy if they got enough cash to eat; now bands like Green Day have the ability to drop $500,000 to $1,000,000 on a video, and have enough cash to hire stylists to fix them up backstage. I don't mean to single out or bash Green Day, but they seem to be the band that is the most in your face of this new crop of bands.
I am also including a scan of the flyer for Cold War's first "gig," my old group. After I found out that a new band is gigging using this name I went and dug out my old pile of drawings and flyers, and found this one. If memory serves, Flesh Eaters didn't play, but Chris D. was there hanging out. Something happened and the rest of the band couldn't make it. Chris Wahl played in Cold War as well as the Flesheaters. We didn't headline this show; I just put the flyer out with us on top. The Cold War lettering I fashioned after the Pink Floyd logo from The Wall album, I thought it would be funny. The rest of the lettering copied from the lettering I saw on the cover of Flipside number 30. I think it may have been done by Matt Groening, I knew his strip from L.A. Reader "Love Is Hell," but when I pulled this flyer out I thought this looks like Simpson lettering. Back then it was just quirky, now it's the Simpsons. Also, you may wonder what's the deal with the symbol next to the name, I believe it's the symbol Phi, I saw it somewhere started using it as a sort representation of the world being divided, basically I thought it was cool. Enjoy.

Symbol Six, Barrio Tiger, Brainspoon & The Blackerbys
Cafe Nela, Los Angeles, CA
March 7, 2015
Prior to this show I have only ventured out to Café Nela one time and it was over thirteen months back. Last time I was there I, pretty much, had a shitty time. So, needless to say I was hesitant about going. Well, this night was one of those rare shows where every single band on the bill was really good. Usually there are one or two duds. This night was good.
The first band on was The Blackerbys. This was my first time seeing them. To my surprise they were really good, sort of punk, and sort of rock. All around good band.
In between bands I received two completely different, but compliments. The first came from a guy out on the patio, he said, "I love all of your stories, each one has that little nugget of gold in it." I thanked him. And of course analyzed that statement.
Later in the evening a guy came up to me, slightly inebriated and said, "I just want to thank you for being such a great writer." I thanked him also and said, "I'm not sure that I am, but I appreciate it."
I love getting peoples reaction to what I do. Sometimes you sit for so long, banging on the keyboard, you forget people are seeing this. It's great to hear people's reactions.
The second band on was Brainspoon. I really like them. I saw them four or five years back at The Redwood. Guitarist Michelle Balderrama has been my secret crush for years, that is until I told my wife, and then shit got weird for a minute. Bygones. Anyway, great band. Very good guitarist.
So, I'm talking to an old friend, when that scene from the movie Friday pops into my head. The character played by the very cute Nia Long asks Ice Cube, "Craig, are you high?" He brushes his pants, straightens his shirt and says, "Do I look high?"
I was talking to a guy about music, bands he's been in, the bands he's in now. And all through the conversation he's doing the "Nod." So, I say, "Fuck the bands, get yourself better, then worry about the music." He looked at me like I had said, "Your fuckin' face is purple!"
Right before he could respond, he nodded again.
The third band of the night was Barrio Tiger. I'm not exactly sure how to describe them. There are elements of punk, rock and rockabilly. I was lucky enough to see them about a year or so back at a show with Rikk Agnew. Great show then and pretty damn good this time too.
The final band of the night was Symbol Six. They opened up with some kind of eerie musical introduction that made a few people say, "This doesn't sound like Symbol Six."
And then faster that you can turn from the Spice channel to Desperate Housewives when your wife walks in the room, Symbol Six steamrolls into a completely new set-list. I thought I was familiar with their songs, but there was only a couple I recognized this night.
As a four-piece they are working like a well oiled machine. I heard a couple people mention they have a split coming out with Rikk Agnew. Should be good.
If you have a chance to see any of these bands, go. All in all, a great show. The PA was off for a few songs or so, I couldn't hear a lot of the vocals, but I had a clear view of the bands and I had fun.
As I was leaving Cafe Nela that night there was a crowd of people on the patio, I walked closer to get a good look at what everyone was checking out. Apparently, people were taking turns lighting some guy's chest hair on fire.
If you were there you had fun, if you weren't there – you wish you were.
One of the things that I used to love, and I don't see people doing any longer are going out to eat after shows. In my younger years we'd hit up a Denny's or whatever local diner we could find. And have a 2:00, 3:00 or 4:00am breakfast. Nowadays, everybody just wants to sleep.
So, that night after leaving Cafe Nela I was hungry, I got off the 405 at Roscoe and drove through the Taco Bell that said "Open 24 Hours!" It was closed. I found a Jack In The Box; it would have to do, because I didn't want to walk into a Denny's by myself.
Anyway, I order and when I pulled up to pay, the cashier yells, "Oh shit!" I thought it was in regards to my dashing good looks, but no. He said, "Did you see that shadow run by your car." I said, "A lot of homeless people live by the railroad tracks here." I was about six feet from the tracks and every morning ten or twelve make their way over to Jack In The Box to wash up and eat whatever they could afford.
He said, "No, there was no person. Just a shadow ran by." Shit. It was 1:30 or so in the morning I was in no frame of mind to deal with ghosts, spirits or voodoo. I wanted to pay and eat a cheap taco.
The cashier went into the restaurant and said, "Hey Juan that shadow is back running around."
I made sure my car was locked, and once the bag was handed to me I boned the fuck out.

2 10
3 Yur 2 Late
4 Everyday
5 One Shot
6 Falling Out
7 Surfside
8 It's Doing Something
9 Fast

Rikk Agnew wrote, sang and played every note on his first solo LP, All by Myself, released in October 1982. The vinyl has been out-of-print since the mid-'80s, then reappeared as bonus tracks on the Adolescents' self-titled CD up until 2000. Frontier has always felt that this album contained some of his best songs ("O.C. Life," "Falling Out"), finally released all by itself on CD, and reactivated on vinyl.
Between 1979-1981 Agnew would form/be involved/write for/produce for: The Adolescents; Christian Death; Social Distortion (for which he was responsible in putting together); Rikk Agnew (solo); 45 Grave; Voodoo Church; The Detours; D.I..
From playing with the Adolescents, to recording the first Christian Death album, then record this solo album entitled "All By Myself" in which he plays every instrument including the drums. It is a testament to his talent.
If you get the chance, give this album a listen, it's a good listen. It's a great snapshot of a great time in punk rock.

On to the story . . .
Back in High School (Birmingham High School, Van Nuys, CA) I had a friend I met on my first day of school. I was already into the punk scene, and this guy Rob L. was completely the opposite, straight-laced business major. Anyway, on the first day we kept bumping into each other in different classes, and finally got to talking in P.E. Rob had a really sarcastic wit, and he was real observant. We became friends, and hung out for a couple of years. Rob wasn't a punk, but loved to flip through any and all fanzines (Flipside, Slash, and We Got Power) that I had. He seemed particularly interested in all the trends (who was reading poetry on stage) and all the punk gossip. He would take one of my Flipside's to a boring class and bring me back these very "Flipside-like" cartoons of people we went to school with. I just found these cartoons in an over-sized envelope when I moved this past October, the drawings are about 27 years old, and they were really funny back then they're OK now.
In order to understand these strips I have to give some background on the characters Rob drew. First the was a guy who was two years ahead of us named Ryan, he was a senior when we got to Birmingham. He dug punk, but never seemed to want to admit it. He was about 6'2" or 3 and wore a grown-out looking flat top. He had this cool gray and black leather jacket that he made himself, using an industrial sewing machine. He would occasionally sneak over and talk to me or the other punks in the school, but if people were around he steered clear. He probably didn't want any of the drama that went along with being a punk. The first time I met Ryan, Rob was with me, we talked for a bit and as Ryan walked away Rob whispered to me that Ryan was the Punk Rock Frankenstein. Now Ryan didn't look like Frankenstein, but between the haircut and height the name stuck. So, from then on he was Frankie.
The second character Rob wrote about was a girl named Leslie. Leslie was in our grade, and was a real attractive girl. For the first half of tenth grade, Leslie looked like a member of the Go-Go's, mini skirts, rolled bandana's, the whole look (hey, it was the '80's). The second semester of tenth grade, Leslie shows up with a boyfriend who was part of the Suicidal Tendencies gang, and hated anybody who didn't attend as many shows as her. Leslie came from money and lived in Encino, whereas myself and some of the other punks lived in Reseda or Van Nuys and didn't have a bunch of cash. So, I went to shows when I had money or could get in free. After being a punk for three weeks Leslie hated me because I didn't hang out at Godzilla's every weekend, and if I laughed, I'd would be warned that the Suicidal Tendencies gang would do me in at the next show I went to. So, Rob went to work on a comic strip of "Frankie" wrecking Leslie in mine and Rob's honor.
The third character Rob mentions is one of my two Steph friends, Steph C. One day Leslie fed up with all the "posers" in the school (the remaining five of us who had been into the scene for two to three years) and starting writing on our lockers, stuff like "DIE POSERS!" and "STEPH AND HER BOYFRIEND, MIKE ARE POSERS!" (We never dated). Rob thought this was funny; no other music caused such drama. Here half the school, disliked punks, and now punks hated punks. Anyway, here are four cartoons by the legendary Rob, showing "Frankie" in all his glory, slamming, and fighting the evil Leslie.

Siouxsie and the Banshees– The Staircase (Mystery) Single
Label: Poyldor Records
Released: March 23, 1979
Produced: Nils Stevesson
Siouxsie Sioux- vocals
John McKay – guitar
Steven Severin – bass
Kenny Morris – drums
1. The Staircase (Mystery) – 3:06
2. 20th Century Boy – 1:59
There was a time between 1977 or 1978 to 1979 when I was a bit unclear of the definition of punk. I hadn't come across any fanzines yet, I didn't find Slash until their last two issues in 1980. So, the bulk of my record buying was based on what I read in the mainstream media, which was mainly Creem magazine. And I would get an occasional recommendation from my Uncle Rick. Month to month the styles of music would seem to merge, meaning one month Creem would say that Blondie was a great New Wave group, and the next they would say Elvis Costello and The Attractions were the biggest punk band out of England. During these few years I bought anything that was considered punk. I had everybody from Elvis Costello to the Rock Lobster single from the B-52's (hated it) just based on the simple fact that some magazine said it was punk, dare I mention my one Plasmatics single, Butcher Baby? It wasn't until 1980 that I started to see a few shows here, and there, and define my taste somewhat. I bought this Siouxsie single in middle to late 1979, based on what I knew of her. Original fan on the Pistols (The Bromley Contingent) and Steve Jones playing on one of her albums, etc. I played it a few times, I didn't really dig it, but 20th Century Boy was a pretty decent cover. Siouxsie seems a bit screechy here.
The Staircase (Mystery) is the second single released by Siouxsie & the Banshees. Issued in the UK by Polydor Records in 1979, the track was written by Banshees members Siouxsie, Severin, McKay and Morris; produced by Stevesson. Musically the song is punk/Goth and reflects the style the band used on their first album The Scream. The B-side of the single is a cover of the T. Rex song 20th Century Boy. Although The Scream had already been released, The Staircase (Mystery) did not appear on it. Released as a stand-alone single, it became the group's second top forty hit, peaking at number twenty-four in the UK singles chart. The track later surfaced on the singles compilation album Once Upon a Time: The Singles. When The Scream was re-mastered and re-issued in 2005 with bonus material, The Staircase (Mystery) was included in the package.
20th Century Boy
"Friends say he's fine
Friends say he's good
Everybody says he's just like Robin Hood
I move like a cat
Talk like a rat
Sting like a bee
Babe, I want to be your man
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy
20th century toy
I want to be your boy
20th century toy
I want to be your boy
Friends say he's fine
Friends say he's good
Everybody says he's just like Robin Hood
Fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Hold out your hand
Babe, I want to be your man
Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy
20th century toy
I want to be your boy
20th century toy
I want to be your boy."
If you get the chance give this single a listen, it's a good listen, but not worth owning. It's a great snap-shot of a great time in punk rock.

And as an added bonus, I'm including a drawing I did in early 1981 for a flyer for a band that I was friends with, two of the guys went to my school, Mike K., and a guy named Rob. Anyway, it's weird. I think I was trying to do an abstract drawing of Nancy Spungen, with the wording "#1 Sid + Darby = Heroin." Yeah, it's retarded, but I was only 14 or 15, it was my big punk rock statement. Anyway, I gave them the drawing to tape on the side of a white sheet of paper; they pasted their logo along the top and all the gig info along the right-hand side of the page, it looked cool. I did more than a 12 flyers from 1980 to 1982.

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!

Straight forward eighties hardcore. 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, bare-bones, amateurish, but somewhat edgy. Dr. Strange records did another bang-up job here.
Even if you don't love it, it's an important piece of punk rock history.

On to the story . . .
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.
Rating: ** * two out of three stars
Cruising Studio Sessions
1980 – Bandwagon Records
Producer: Jack Nitzsche
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.
Rating: ** * two out of three stars
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.

"Slight & souless, although well witten"
While there are important themes touched upon here, there is almost nothing at stake for the characters, minimal interesting conflict (even between distinctly different sisters) and virtually no memorable insights.
It would play best in animation, a Saturday morning cartoon of "lost girls finds themselves."

|I did this line yesterday not previously knowing anything about it. I think it's better than Dougald and Dave imply. Yeah, I guess it's a bit contrived, but it is big fun for when you're in the area, easily toproped off the SM anchors and a safe lead at the grade (though not for breaking into it). For maximum contrived fun, I recommend the unprotected 20' direct slab approach off the ground (between DL and SM), nice quality, some kinda .10.

Beauty gifts are my go-to solution when I'm stuck for ideas. They're usually affordable, hopefully useful and I only go for things that I think are beautifully presented. So obviously anything Chanel is number one choice, even if it's something mundane like these eyelash curlers… Continue reading

Cataclysms on the Columbia
The Great Missoula Floods
From Library Staff
The 'big bang' effect on the Columbia River in times past:
"It is now generally agreed that between 15,000 and 18,000 years ago around 40 to 90 tremendous deluges of almost inconceivable force and dimension swept across large parts of the Columbia River drainage. Swollen by the floodwaters,... Read More »

Five days after NFL labor talks broke down and owners opted to lock out the players, the Redskins broke their collective silence Tuesday with a six-paragraph letter by general manager Bruce Allen that was posted on the team's website.Allen, who attended several mediation meetings before the NFLPA walked away from the talks on Friday and the owners locked the players out at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, called the lockout a "difficult but necessary step" for the league's owners and "something we tried hard to avoid."The NFL is without a collective bargaining agreement after a second extension expired Friday at 5 p.m.
Like other team representatives andor owners, Allen called the NFL's proposal to the players "fair" and said the teams share "disappointment with the lack of progress" with the fans.The lockout prohibits players from entering team facilities and front offices, and clubs are prohibited from making any free-agent signings or trades.
The entire text of Allen's letter ...
"Last Friday, negotiations between the NFL and the NFL Players Association ended without a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. Unfortunately, the unions abandonment of bargaining and subsequent decertification led to the leagues difficult but necessary step to lock out, something we tried hard to avoid. We remain committed to getting a new deal done and believe that the fastest way to a fair agreement is through mediation and not litigation."We share your disappointment with the lack of progress. The offer that the union walked away from was fair and addressed many of the key issues, including a rookie compensation system, enhanced player healthy and safety measures, improved retired player benefits and compromises on the unions financial demands."Of particular importance to the Washington Redskins were the additional benefits the proposal would have provided to retired players. Our organization is rich in history and we are proud of the men who have contributed to our glorious past and helped create our great fan base that we all benefit from today. The Redskins alumni continue to play an integral role within our community, and the unions decision to walk away from a deal that would have benefited our retired players is especially disappointing."As the home team in the nations capital, we understand and respect the political process. However, we feel a deal will be reached at the negotiating table and not with the involvement of Congress. The NFL remains committed to collective bargaining and the federal mediation process, which is the most effective way to reach a new agreement -- one that is good for the long-term future of the game."We care deeply about our passionate fans of the Burgundy & Gold and we are determined to bring you a winning football team. You should know that the current status of the Collective Bargaining Agreement will not disrupt our preparation for the 2011 season or swerve our focus from the Redskins objective -- WINNING."We greatly appreciate your support of the Washington Redskins."
Allen: Lockout 'necessary'
