after a few spits of wood glue, and a small amount of wire bending, the AssTone is back and ready to slaughter everything in its path.

Shogun Warrior, check. Hot Wheels, check. Star Wars Han Solo laser pistol, CHECK!

The Magnet has a purty good retrospective of the 80s Minneapolis music scene, focusing on Hüsker Dü and The Replacements… it’s an awesome read if you have 20 minutes of spare time…

I blew my mind . . .

More on the Albatross about my neck was hung

okay, maybe i post too much (too much meaning twice already) about Harvey Milk, but that’s okay. verbally, i declare quite often that this is the greatest album title of all time: “My Love Is Higher Than Your Assessment Of What My Love Could Be” . . . but that’s the first time i ever blogged it, so there. I should also mention that it’s still a great album after all these dark, dark, dark, dark, dark years… probably in my top twenty, following closely behind “Duty Now For the Future” by Devo – Penetration In The Centrefold is maybe the best song ever,  and after all these long, long, long, long years it’s still ahead of its time. Which reminds me, I’ve got a rhyme that sounds like a riddle . . .

Many years ago, seBADoh took us along on a few of their US tours. It was awesome fun opening for them, and they were super nice guys and easy to get along with. A few times a week, I’d hang out with Lou in the dressing room and we’d mostly talk about theoretical BMX tricks that’d be awesome, but impossible, to do. Well, it’s like 13 years later and I’m super stoked to see Lou nailing a bunch of those theoretical stunts in the latest video from Dinosaur Jr. heh.
