“I think the ability to access memory of obscure punk-single B-sides is my most compelling attribute” says Canty half-joking. “I would hear a guitar sound and say ‘I love it! It’s almost like that Scars single “Horrorshow!”‘ And [Leo's] eyes would light up. I do not share his affinity for Celtic death metal though. “First of all I love him dearly as a friend so the level of comfort and unself-consciousness that we can have in the studio is priceless” says Leo. “I think we have not only a lot of the same reference points but also a lot of the same tastes. Brendan is a great engineer in almost any context that you might want him to be—that is he can do hi-fi but he can also give you ideas and experiments that go far beyond the basics. While it’s certainly a strong step away from anything basic Living With the Living is also grounded in the principles of progressive punk politics and it’s impossible to ignore the way in which the loss of one of our most articulate punk activists hovers over the record… So what did Ted Leo do the day Joe Strummer left this mortal coil?”The day Joe Strummer died I went out to breakfast with my [now] wife she cried and I thought about it a lot. And I wrote about it a lot. He was a constant presence that reminded me what music could aspire to be. And actually he remains so. com write your comment loadMgr.

The band’s strong belief in the material took them to Fantom Studios already last summer and now finally after almost a year of pondering their options the band will finally release the album. As their criteria for the release this time was proper promotion in Finland and Scandinavia combined with wide spread distribution over the world the band came to the conclusion of releasing the album self financed in Finland and getting a foreign partner to handle the distribution & promotion all over the world. The right label for co-operation was found in XTREEM MUSIC. With XTREEM MUSIC handling the distribution & promotion worldwide and the band themselves taking care of the Scandinavian market the album will surely reach everyone who is interested in getting it”.

I’m still processing; look for a full review later. Mithras: Behind The Shadows Lie Madness [Candlelight] Hate to be a Candlelight whore but Mithras’ third album is a terrific collection of technical space-themed Samuel Delany-decorated death metal: True Yes atmospherics and Gregorian harmonizing sprout between blast beats growling vocals and guitar solos that break like weird prisms. ” Well of course there are songs about the sea and sailing too. Take a look at the ocean-side bubble-blowing video at their.

The seeds were planted in or about 1980 with a bay area thrash band called Rampage featuring neighborhood kids from Dublin California Chuck Billy with his brother Andy Billy Greg Bustamante Ernie Boehm and Willie Lange. The guys were about 18 years old and had all known each other since they were about 5. The guys grew up listening to a variety of bands from Zepplin Kiss Aerosmith to The Dead Kennedys and The Sex Pistols; and were influenced by the sounds of the late 70′s and early 80′s. This time period was a great time for a bunch of kids who lived out in the burbs and the boys from Dublin with their long hair and their na? attitudes would go to the clubs to rage and see The Dead Kennedy’s and whatever punk shows that trails through the Bay area… I started playing guitar in 8th grade and stuck with it through high school. Back in late 70′s I remember going to barn parties watching the local musicians get together to play some of our favorite covers. I wanted to play so bad and be in the music scene we started our first band called “Rampage”. The guys were young and competitive to start with wanted to play in town like the other guys were. Chuck remembers “We thought we would be the rough ones with attitude almost like we were punk rock or at least what we thought punk rock stood for. We used to drive to akland to Willy’s truck yard to practice in the back of a 45 foot trailer. It was always a party booze and weed mostly.

That’s the message — you dont have to buy the rap music that comes with disclaimers parental notices and warnings. Walk pass it — IMUS DES NT CME WITH A DISCLAIMER R A PARENTAL NTICE. All of our leaders have come out many times against offensive language in rap music — Rosa parks had a law suite so did Al Sharpton and C… I too would have to peel of the warning of the FFENSIVE LYRICS WARNING — this argument is mute because we too dont support those lyrics and have said it many many many times over the years. It doesnt stop the fact that IMUS WAS WRNG AND MUST G. YALL ARE BEATING A DEAD HRSE T DEATH. HES DEAD — THIS PINT IS MUTE. Would you like for us to write down the racist and derogatory lyrics of many Heavy Metal groups and ariyan right supporters. I too would have to peel of the warning of the FFENSIVE LYRICS WARNING — this argument is mute because we too dont support those lyrics and have said it many many many times over the years.

Not bad for a brand-new publication. 6 1988: “Women’s Music” by Jerry Klein. A report on the local lesbian community and an upcoming concert by singer Chris Williamson. The story set off a vicious anti-gay campaign by Rev. Joe Chambers while the bserver editorialized that we should never have brought up the subject to begin with. Issues swirling around the acknowledgement of homosexuality would resurface more times in Charlotte than we could imagine possible… In the middle of a mayoral campaign in which Myrick was touting her moral superiority to her opponent (he had admitted to prior cocaine use) we published court records that proved that Mayor Myrick had in fact broken up her husband Ed’s first marriage. May 19 1990: “Reasonable and Prudent Killing?” by Philip Rutledge. An investigation into the death of Sidney Bowen the black former mayor of Bolton N. killed by highway patrolman Alfred Morris who received light treatment by then-prosecutor Mike Easley. July 4 1992: “Women In Rock” by Fred Mills. This roundtable discussion with four Charlotte women rockers was the first time Charlotteans had looked at and taken seriously the thoughts goals and problems of some of our top female musical artists.
