Like people will smile and talk to babies without a second thought.  People will be &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmxVe3ux_jw"&gt;walking down the stree&lt;/a&gt;t and people will just waive and flash a big shit-eating grin at them.  And even if they are a little shy about saying 'what up' to the baby, they would smile to themselves as if to say "fuck, just seeing that baby's baby-ass face made me happy."  Nobody smiles and waives at me, fucking babies get all the breaks.  Now don't get me wrong I'm not anti-baby,  I fucks with babies.  Some are cool.  For instance when my nephew was a baby he was super rad and he made me &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGagNgF0t6Y"&gt;smile endlessly.&lt;/a&gt;  I mean we are still totally bffs (best fucking friends).  We always play a game called superboy but it's not like that &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhJ8fzIqBJo&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;extra gross song&lt;/a&gt; ... it jsut involes me picking him up and throwing him around.  But like most babies and kids I'm just kinda like 'meh.'  I don't mind them but they don't blow my mind or whatever ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However I can &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2OvBRZzDeU"&gt;emphatize&lt;/a&gt; with that feeling.  I feel it when ever I see kids at punk rock shows.  I mean when I see those kids limbs just start flaling around and screaming into microphones, it makes me smile unknowningly.  It's a &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_BftwZUpMo"&gt;beatiful&lt;/a&gt; thing.    The other month &lt;a href="http://serc.carleton.edu/images/usingdata/nasaimages/trees.gif"&gt;me moti, and ben&lt;/a&gt; went see fucked up twice in a week (and honestly I was kinda pist I didn't attend the third show of the week).   And my &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhTHBT3h-Xw"&gt;homeboy&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://toddpnyc.com/"&gt;todd p&lt;/a&gt; comes through and tells the kids to behave and not smoke outside, and its all very sweet, ya know.  Like DIY or &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BIhvMBoKnI"&gt;FUBU&lt;/a&gt;, you know.  So Pink Eyes, who, by the by, is the fucking balls, gets on stage and is like "TEAR THIS PLACE UP DOWN ... but like in the most respectful way possible."  Like how &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30xG0LOC3qQ&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;sweet&lt;/a&gt; is that?!! ... these kids come thru to some slightly skechy part of &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opWYnUpNtG8"&gt;Brooklyn &lt;/a&gt;to just kinda go off, and some random dudes work hard to make it happen.  I mean that's just plain lovely.  It just makes you feel good, you know, like when you're in &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8psAFtdGsc"&gt;love&lt;/a&gt;, or give to the poor,  or when &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ChT3AJAwGo"&gt;rusty cage&lt;/a&gt; comes on in a bar out of nowhere. It just kinda made me realize i know th feeling when people look at babies they have no relation to and just smile to themsleves... but then again it's &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV4TzPCN1uE"&gt;sometimes just really d-u-m dumb&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ps the duders they show at 23 seconds are like so fucking good looking i don't what to do with myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aKNkTd2nNiE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aKNkTd2nNiE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6669578638714044830-4640196186567509235?l=handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/feeds/4640196186567509235/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6669578638714044830&amp;postID=4640196186567509235&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/4640196186567509235'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/4640196186567509235'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/2008/12/beatiful-babies.html' title='Beatiful Babies'/><author><name>robbie talihan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037156272275831988</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00217325283369942010'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669578638714044830.post-6960648953263208339</id><published>2008-11-15T13:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-01T10:33:16.626-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Danzig Live: The Socratic Method</title><content type='html'>&lt;span&gt;Wait, what day is it? .... so I guess September didn't really work out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in October me and Benny boy Felton went to see the 'zig (Felton's pharse).

Me neither, but apparently it does. I guess I first heard about this in high school, when I first heard this song -- then I never heard about it again. What am I talking about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here's the point: '90s hardcore. I &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=U5cY7YduMlU"&gt;can't get enough&lt;/a&gt; of it and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sick_of_It_All"&gt;Sick of it All (SOIA)&lt;/a&gt; were pretty much as good as it got for me. What great attitudes those bros had. I remember seeing them on the Warped tour (It was the &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=_yw0s6nRfN4"&gt;first&lt;/a&gt; one! With &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=niXemsb1tiI"&gt;Quicksand&lt;/a&gt;! Leave me alone!) and some people started &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=NJRkdYreV1w"&gt;shouting&lt;/a&gt; our requests. The fellas pretty much just ignored the crowd until &lt;a href="http://www.style43.com/wp-content/uploads/soia4.JPG"&gt;Lou Koller&lt;/a&gt; (i.e. one of the greatest men of all time) decided to respond. He started off all serious, sounding kinda pissed off. In a quiet tone he says something like, "Now, how long have you been coming to see us? After all this time, you should know by now &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;(then he raises his voice)&lt;/span&gt; we don't do fucking requests!" It was weird for a second because he immediately followed this claim by saying, in the most playful of playful tones, "I'm just kidding. I don't want anyone to kick my ass or anything." It was crazy. It was like that scene in that &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXFZCBBHquA"&gt;movie&lt;/a&gt; where you think the dog is going to bite down on the guy's hand and then he licks it. Know what I'm talking about? &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOFKU_hwj2o"&gt;Whatever&lt;/a&gt;. Also in that show he said, "We've been doing this for a long time now.

Am I a homophobe because I included a slang for gay in with other "acceptable" curse words during a verbal lashing I gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day? A= Nope. My gay family &amp;amp; friends, as well as myself, KNOW I am not a homophobe. For years now I've known gay is not a choice; one's skin color doesn't determine one's intelligence level; &amp;amp; red hair doesn't mean you're someone's stepchild. You see, it's not the words, it's their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do! By that logic... I also told that young whipper snapper I'd have anal sex with him... how can I possibly reconcile these opposing viewpoints? I called him a pussy too. Does it mean I hate our one worlds' collective vagina? I never have been nor intend to be politically correct. That's your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury. Homophobic? I'm in Queens of the Stone Age for crissake... You say, "So. Your band name doesn't prove anything." Maybe not. But it's a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog... (sorry canine-American, canine-European, canine-African, canine-Australian &amp;amp; canine-Asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? If your glass house is squeegeed that clean &amp;amp; you need to do something, do what the great philosopher Bill Hicks once suggested: - forgive me-. Or don't. I'm not asking for either, OK? I think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. Either way I expect that you'll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn &amp;amp; point it out to the rest of us... Because you're so above it all. Or If you'll allow me to translate a wish of mine into your PC lingo:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/51423-josh-homme-defends-himself-homophobic-im-in-queens-of-the-stone-age-for-crissake"&gt;PC lingo:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/51423-josh-homme-defends-himself-homophobic-im-in-queens-of-the-stone-age-for-crissake"&gt;Will you please go have consensual, sex with yourself.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/51423-josh-homme-defends-himself-homophobic-im-in-queens-of-the-stone-age-for-crissake"&gt;Pretty please with all natural, carbon offset sugar on top.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/51423-josh-homme-defends-himself-homophobic-im-in-queens-of-the-stone-age-for-crissake"&gt;Sincerely,&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/51423-josh-homme-defends-himself-homophobic-im-in-queens-of-the-stone-age-for-crissake"&gt;Mr. Missundastood&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/51423-josh-homme-defends-himself-homophobic-im-in-queens-of-the-stone-age-for-crissake"&gt;A.K.A.

What am I, an &lt;a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/7/7491311_905b60e6cb.jpg"&gt;English Professor&lt;/a&gt;?! It is about my &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87uEuhMj92k"&gt;love/h&lt;/a&gt;ate relationship with music and the interweb. The love is part isthat i got &lt;a href="http://theheatwarps.blogspot.com/2007/10/creation.html"&gt;this nugget &lt;/a&gt;free of charge. The downside was how "&lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=stupid+fresh"&gt;stupid&lt;/a&gt;" easy it was. I mean not to sound like an &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElemRKA9r1c"&gt;old kook&lt;/a&gt; at 28 but once upon a time you had to "find" a record. Even before that step you had to know about it. I spend hours nerding out on reading the "thank yous" at the end of albums to discover some new shit to escape my feels to ... um ... i mean rock out to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was like a process to get a &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtPeEt8-oDM"&gt;record.&lt;/a&gt; The payoff, when you finally found that record after months and months of searching for it felt as though you had really accomplished something. Now you type a word (you don't even need to spell the word correctly) and bam: free music. I mean I like free shit was much as &lt;a href="http://sureshg.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/drug-lord.JPG"&gt;the next guy,&lt;/a&gt; and i  have heard way more records cause the the interweb but some it just makes you feel ...well... kinda &lt;a href="http://www.yuanlei.com/mystars/big/tom_hanks.jpg"&gt;lame&lt;/a&gt;, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However I think &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kVwuT_5R8s"&gt;TVs&lt;/a&gt; are the fucking shit! Last week I came home tired as balls and was looking for something to watch (besides the never ending bad news machine that is the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfs3u5dAaKs"&gt;new york yankees&lt;/a&gt;) And I watch this fucking gem of a TV program on the MSG Network (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvnAplWgVj0"&gt;Duck Folan&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h1CoN-q3LP0&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h1CoN-q3LP0&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6669578638714044830-2238299114979685994?l=handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/feeds/2238299114979685994/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6669578638714044830&amp;postID=2238299114979685994&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/2238299114979685994'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/2238299114979685994'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/2008/06/so-this-post-is-gonna-be-trite-andor.html' title='Apparently, I&apos;m a Neo Luddite Who Loves the MSG Network'/><author><name>robbie talihan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037156272275831988</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00217325283369942010'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669578638714044830.post-1165889105369079672</id><published>2008-05-28T09:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T09:39:43.673-08:00</updated><title type='text'>XMemorial Day WeekendX</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aOjzi8xencw/SD7JwO9y2xI/AAAAAAAAAEo/qY8yx_3JjRk/s1600-h/judjud3_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205820049775057682" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aOjzi8xencw/SD7JwO9y2xI/AAAAAAAAAEo/qY8yx_3JjRk/s320/judjud3_1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I decided that the best way to celebrate the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMnydcscmpA&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;dead soldiers &lt;/a&gt;last weekend would be to take a little break from &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzKpLc3APgE"&gt;what's left &lt;/a&gt;of &lt;a href="http://www.sexandthecitymovie.com/"&gt;this (yawn) city&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First I decided to stay up until 4am on Friday &lt;a href="http://www.burninghate.com/?p=70"&gt;dancing &lt;/a&gt;and drinking beer out of Styrofoam (much to my friend Dave's dismay -- something about &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwLDmeEspSA"&gt;mother earth&lt;/a&gt;) which made the drive up to the country the next day kinda rough. That is, until we got the old ipod rolling and I rediscovered my favorite music (well &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMijH2VVcR8"&gt;second favorite&lt;/a&gt;) -- the mighty &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/judjud"&gt;JUD JUD&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I'm sure you’ve read about these dudes on other blogs so I am merely here to remind you that this is the best band that ever was. They did acapella versions of hardcore songs by repeating the word "jud" (is "jud" a word?) &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QLXTsviMxk"&gt;over and over and over again&lt;/a&gt;. How fucking good is that, you ask? Well the answer is, it's &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKpIYUEI-ps&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;really fucking good&lt;/a&gt;. They do spot-on version of every "type" of hardcore song. And, as those of you who were ever into hardcore know, there are only "types" of hardcore songs. I think most of the clever kids out there today just listen to a song or two and laugh. Me? I rock the fuck out to it on the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-r69wK0X-M"&gt;subway&lt;/a&gt;. You know why? ‘Cause I haven't forgotten two things: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9fdOP4h1ew"&gt;the struggle and the streets&lt;/a&gt;. And, I've managed to avoid doing a third thing: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0e6LUTjzX0"&gt;selling out&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to the &lt;a href="http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/05/audio_hoaxes_an.html"&gt;WFMU site&lt;/a&gt; and cop some songs, broham.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s.

So why &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yShceq3YXBY"&gt;dissapoint&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spent a lot of time listening to the radio growing up and whenever this song came on &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG9ly05Nucc"&gt;my Mom&lt;/a&gt; would change the station 'cause it was too provocative:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jQQmAP9Poo4&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jQQmAP9Poo4&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever, dude. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69WmPa5PEOo"&gt;I&lt;/a&gt; don't think that was called for. There was basically one decent radio station in &lt;a href="http://westernmass.craigslist.org/"&gt;my hood&lt;/a&gt; that gave us local &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBojL7m7aM8"&gt;hoodrats&lt;/a&gt; a decent education. But those kids have grown into total "&lt;a href="http://www.sussextechtraining.net/images/current_photos/nurses.jpg"&gt;nurses aides&lt;/a&gt;".

Holy shit, dude, are these guys the &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=cKkrmpCjM7U"&gt;best-fucking-ever&lt;/a&gt; or what? I'm not sure if &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OG-Q4f8CrY"&gt;Talihan&lt;/a&gt; will fully support my love of these dudes, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;yet&lt;/span&gt;, but he will in &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=cKkrmpCjM7U"&gt;time&lt;/a&gt;. I used to hate them when a &lt;a href="http://www.bulldogsoftimberridge.com/Roxie_desk_b.jpg"&gt;friend of mine&lt;/a&gt; in college tried to turn me onto the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aja_%28album%29"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Aja&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; record. I was like, "bro -- how can you like this garbage? It's like smooth &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=I_n-gRS_wdI&amp;feature=related"&gt;jazz&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href="http://www.postmodernclog.com/archives/Aging%20Hipster2.JPG"&gt;aging hipsters&lt;/a&gt; that are too wimpy to still do coke but wanna feel &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=VbhsYC4gKy4"&gt;alive&lt;/a&gt; again." My &lt;a href="http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/animals/images/primary/walrus-portrait.jpg"&gt;friend&lt;/a&gt; was like, "There's one thing about Steely Dan you need to get past in order to like them. I can't articulate what it is but it exists and once you get past it, brother, the future is glorious."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, my &lt;a href="http://web.sny.tv/images/2007/09/14/mc6TSpSM.jpg"&gt;friend&lt;/a&gt; was right. I'm not sure what that one thing is, but it really is there and I definitely got past it. I love these guys and am definitely contemplating shelling out 54 bones to &lt;a href="http://www.beacontheatrenyc.com/events/steely-dan-0608.html"&gt;see them&lt;/a&gt; in a few weeks. I mean, &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=59YCH96hvxs"&gt;come on&lt;/a&gt;? You gots to be doing something right if you play a type of music that you yourself proudly categorize as "jazz-rock" and still come off as &lt;a href="http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=23345&amp;rendTypeId=4"&gt;two of the toughest dudes&lt;/a&gt; of all time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, it's Sunday, the weather is, as we say in the industry, fucking fantastic and I'm about to go to a &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=6TU9SpOEl44"&gt;rooftop&lt;/a&gt; cookout. What's my point? This song is in my head right now as &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=OQKKgNC5EpM"&gt;my own personal soundtrack&lt;/a&gt; to the day. Spring is almost over and summer is up next, bitches. Let's get drunk before 2pm -- &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; kidding. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eNMEmmHpUiE&amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eNMEmmHpUiE&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. &lt;a href="http://www.allmusicguide.com/cg/amg.dll"&gt;Jeff "Skunk" Baxter&lt;/a&gt;?

Somehow this lead to me coming across the following &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfrWK-qscRI"&gt;gem&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rcqkTOVbdPw&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rcqkTOVbdPw&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dude says approximately 47 fall-down funny things in this song. My personal fave being "That music really turns me on, maxes me out." This lead to me peeping a bunch of Girls Aganist Boys &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3gFb0Vnrbc"&gt;videos&lt;/a&gt; and spending the next day on some &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/gvsb"&gt;myspace page&lt;/a&gt;. So, I might have to take an airplane to Europe this weekender to catch a show of &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/paramountstylesnyc"&gt;dude's new band.&lt;/a&gt; But then I thought about it and was kinda like, do i really need to hit up &lt;a href="http://www.brugge.be/internet/en/index.htm"&gt;Bruges &lt;/a&gt;AGAIN? That'd be, like, my fourth trip this year. (Have you ever had the pizza in Bruggles? Well, lemme tell you it's &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF0ninwZqts"&gt;amazing&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It made me kinda sad actually ‘cause when GVSB actually existed I was never much of a fan. Basically I blew it. This, of course, is &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upXOuf95428"&gt;no shocker&lt;/a&gt; since I made a lot of mistakes in &lt;a href="http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/lollapalooza/2006/images/kidzapalooza_drum_circle.jpg"&gt;my youth&lt;/a&gt;. And hey let's face it -- &lt;a href="http://pitchfork.tv/juans-basement/blood-on-the-wall/interview-quit-your-day-job"&gt;adulthood&lt;/a&gt; hasn't been a shinning success either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently I actually did see GVSB as an adolescent. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDM6kUcUgys"&gt;Ben&lt;/a&gt; reminded me of this fact but I have no memory of it whatsoever (truth be told i &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHTzpXyXO-4"&gt;remember very little&lt;/a&gt;). But all i got to say to you Scott McCloud, you gorgeous bastard you, is hey -- that's what you get for playing before &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncGN4wZkWeI"&gt;David Yow&lt;/a&gt;.

It's time for ol' Ben to &lt;a href="http://www.viceland.com/int/v11n10/htdocs/dos_donts.php"&gt;get down on his knees&lt;/a&gt; and give some '90s indie-rocker the proverbial &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=mb1sgq6X4NY"&gt;blow-j&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=aCYa1m3G3tU"&gt;Look out! &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So -- who are the lucky &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=vSU_9_cw8rY"&gt;bastards&lt;/a&gt; this time? I'll tell you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we all know, the good people at All Tomorrow's Parties &lt;a href="http://www.atpfestival.com/"&gt;(ATP)&lt;/a&gt; have been slaying us with not just reunions but performances of &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=5rFlceu9qgA"&gt;classic albums&lt;/a&gt; in their entirety. The Melvins did &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=XdjS5YLpBjc"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Houdini&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, we all know about Mudhoney doing &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aOjzi8xencw/R2vY6lsHHyI/AAAAAAAAACw/mZ5HLlcuZ8c/s1600-h/BFF.gif"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Supperfuzz&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and recently they got &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=Gcnm1Wxei5A"&gt;Polvo&lt;/a&gt; to get back together to destroy the living daylights out of us. But why &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=CNB1EUJg1-w"&gt;stop&lt;/a&gt; there? It was recently announced that ATP will be taking their festival to New York where Polvo, &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=4zoM1PrCYFU"&gt;some other band who hasn't played in a while&lt;/a&gt; and, &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=FxGcAm0EkTU"&gt;dudes&lt;/a&gt; of all dudes, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Built_to_Spill"&gt;Built to Spill&lt;/a&gt;, are going to throw down. But Built to Spill aren't just playing -- they'll be performing a certain little record called &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=Sw06bRjHks4"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Perfect From Now On&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. If you're not aware of that album's &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=jym-RtHHG0s"&gt;power&lt;/a&gt;, you are either deaf or unborn. If you are aware, well, then you have a &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=MQziHb74J9A"&gt;pulse&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, you have to be a &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=ax5NWrs6rt4"&gt;Roc-A-Fella&lt;/a&gt; to afford tickets to that festival but &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;fortunately&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://image.listen.com/img/356x237/7/8/8/3/1023887_356x237.jpg"&gt;Doug Martsch&lt;/a&gt; and his team of bros will be taking this on the road and you know that &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=OmDGWTPRjLM"&gt;Talihan and I&lt;/a&gt; will be seeing them at &lt;a href="http://www.terminal5nyc.com/calendar/show/1601/"&gt;Terminal 5&lt;/a&gt; in September. What's that? Who's opening? Oh you know, just some little nobodies. What're their names again? Oh yeah -- &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=DqiKd26F-KQ"&gt;Dinosaur Jr.&lt;/a&gt; and fucking &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=rv48xQuckAA&amp;feature=related"&gt;Meat Puppets&lt;/a&gt;! Are you kidding me? That show is gonna be a damn monster. I feel like I heard that Meat Puppets will be performing &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;II&lt;/span&gt; in its entirety. Either way, I will be put down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Built to Spill are definitely the biggest draw for me. The first time I saw them was on the second stage at &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=wd4fzqSmU3o"&gt;Lollapalooza&lt;/a&gt; and all I really remember is that my friend &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=DEpOGYC0uO8"&gt;Rami&lt;/a&gt; got, like, a migraine or something. The second time I saw them I had not only just gotten a haircut, but I also had all four wisdom teeth taken out days before and my cheeks were waaaayyy swollen. &lt;a href="http://mrpotatohead.net/world/MrPotatoHead_3.jpg"&gt;It made the top of my head look really small and the bottom look really big&lt;/a&gt;. What does all this mean? I guess I'm a little &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=b4uahL_tQWc"&gt;nervous about this show&lt;/a&gt;. But you know what? Fuck it! It's time to knock back some microbrews and get into a little good ol' beard-rock. Did I just write "ol'" for the &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yka2PlquubI&amp;feature=related"&gt;second&lt;/a&gt; time in this post? You're damn right I did.

I was sitting at &lt;a href="http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/87871/detail/"&gt;my computer&lt;/a&gt; on Sunday and I googled some of the lyrics &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfUMswVj5hg"&gt;I could remember&lt;/a&gt;, and then this came back into my life:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7oM8QXdp8wU&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7oM8QXdp8wU&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only does that video rule because the majority of it is just the dude cranking out some power chords with just his drummer in the background (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95LFNe3Uw-w"&gt;who needs a band&lt;/a&gt;?) but because then I found out not only does &lt;a href="http://www.localh.com/"&gt;Local H&lt;/a&gt; still tour, but they were scheduled to play Luna Lounge - three blocks from my house - that night!

We drank some beers and burned one down on his porch, which is soon to be adorned with dart boards (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmbz2y0QiLc&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;this dude &lt;/a&gt;is kinda my idol) and there was some awful smell in his fridge. But &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;that's&lt;/span&gt; neither here nor there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So at first we were watching some cooking show where some &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Asian&lt;/span&gt; dude was carrying around some kind of &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cDWbB4WZik"&gt;mini- &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;pterodactyl&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;fish. I guess he was gonna &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=terradactyl"&gt;cook it up&lt;/a&gt;. Shit was weird. So then we &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;somehow&lt;/span&gt; switched to Jackass 2 with the mute on. My initial reaction is to find those dudes kinda entertaining. I mean, I like to watch shit burn or get smashed or whatever -- &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; a grown ass baby like everyone else in my generation. And let's face it -- mean-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;spiritedness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is funny. But sometimes I just get furious at those dudes. That one dude &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Bam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;? I can't help but think "&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;C'mon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; bro. Those are your parents. They gave birth to you. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Give&lt;/span&gt; them a fucking break, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;fuckface&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;." Not &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_3g4QPojMc"&gt;very punk rock&lt;/a&gt; but then watching it &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcqkTOVbdPw"&gt;kinda turned me on, maxed me out&lt;/a&gt;. But at the time &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; kinda like, "You dudes are kinda the &lt;a href="http://music.aol.com/video/falling-down-sessions/scarlett-johansson/2124745"&gt;definition of lameness," &lt;/a&gt;which is to say &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; entertained but I hate myself for it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;of&lt;/span&gt; Skateboards, remember how sick &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Unsane&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; was? I don't have them anymore but I bet a bazillion dollars that these records stand the test of time ... plus the dude had an AK 47 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;tattooed&lt;/span&gt; to his fore arm ... bff .... big fucking balls&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GJd0fvUzmns&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GJd0fvUzmns&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kDulzkRMO4A&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kDulzkRMO4A&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently they have a creepy &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;fanbase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDfK-JDpnZE&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;based on this video &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*If you get the reference in the title then you were a ska fan and you ought to be ashamed of yourself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6669578638714044830-2182945571519217792?l=handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/feeds/2182945571519217792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6669578638714044830&amp;postID=2182945571519217792&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/2182945571519217792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/2182945571519217792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/2008/05/if-thats-what-they-call-normal-then-id.html' title='If That&apos;s What They Call Normal Then I&apos;d Rather be (Un)sane*'/><author><name>robbie talihan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037156272275831988</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00217325283369942010'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669578638714044830.post-3281086302375143248</id><published>2008-05-12T12:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-13T13:48:06.794-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Night Marchers Last Week</title><content type='html'>So &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CWJgT5NTWg"&gt;moti, danny, and I&lt;/a&gt; went to see the ol night marchers last week ... &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf5frRdZYg8"&gt;felton&lt;/a&gt; flaked cause &lt;a href="http://www.mortarhate.com/classwar.php"&gt;somebody was marrying someone else&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_Fx5mQYofU"&gt;polvo&lt;/a&gt; reunited or sumin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started out super stoaked about it but then i copped the record...and shit was kinda yawncity ... it wasn't bad just not stupendous. But shit my main man john reis know how to rock a crowd ...so i was still a &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI5QPTKRlGM"&gt;little amped&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I wasn't too amped about was opening bands ... i'll be frank ... i'm that &lt;a href="http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/senatorclinton.jpg"&gt;dickhead&lt;/a&gt; ... honestly if i haven't heard of your band i aint coming ... i guess it would be nice and it would be a way of experiencing new things,and I could go in with an open mind, etc. ... but that aint really &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fM3VUtuTQI"&gt;my style&lt;/a&gt; ... i prefer to hide my feeling beneath indifference, sarcasm, and humor ... wait did i just say that out loud ... moving on ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we got some &lt;a href="http://www.butternutsbeerandale.com/"&gt;beers&lt;/a&gt; at the bar around the corner ...it used to be a normal bar, but now is fancy beer spot full of duders (not the good kind).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We get there and shit is packed. So much so that we could even get into the room of the show. But we manage to squeeze in and get a bit closer ... the crowd wasn't too stoaked ...but john ries looked like a million and half dollars ... so I told him he looked fantstic ... i think he appreciated it ...i wish more people told me i look fan-fucking-tastic ... cause lord knows that's a fact ... my second question "wait, weren't you in &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qKVqcgXN34"&gt;jawbox&lt;/a&gt;?" ... didn't go over quite as well ... there were some boos ... and my homie Gar called me "bagged meat" ...which sorta turned me on ... i don't know if that's weird ... but hey it's the truth so I gotta admit it ...at least thats what &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pwVuystKJ0"&gt;karen hill &lt;/a&gt;taught me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The crowd was kind &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYLLwfOxfPA"&gt;blah&lt;/a&gt; ...except for a couple brohams in the front ... this &lt;a

type='text'>Uh, Pretty Damn  Tough</title><content type='html'>I'm feeling pretty &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cyciy9UV0g"&gt;nostalgic&lt;/a&gt; for alternative rock today, dudes. I'm sitting here in Carrboro, North Carolina where the sun is shining bright and the sky is as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_comedy"&gt;blue&lt;/a&gt; as a &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip0yMa2Wito"&gt;Redd Foxx&lt;/a&gt; bit. I got into town on Friday and within hours I was watching &lt;a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/50425-photos-arcade-fire-superchunk-at-rally-for-obama-carrboro-nc-050208"&gt;Superchunk rip it up for Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.brandchannel.com/images/FeaturesProfile/profile_img1_zima.jpg"&gt;Cold brews&lt;/a&gt;, a little &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb9WaxOmd_0"&gt;old school&lt;/a&gt; indie rock and getting &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfw_-F6GR9s"&gt;fired up&lt;/a&gt;? Yes please. Then this band &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ5oHadEQlA"&gt;Arcade Fire&lt;/a&gt; stepped up and got &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsETamxkT9E"&gt;epic&lt;/a&gt; like Les Miserables. It was truly a great day and definitely got me thinking about a little decade I like to refer to as the 90s. You know what? I'm always nostalgic for the 90s. Screw it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, so I was shooting it with ol' &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnzFRV1LwIo"&gt;Talihan&lt;/a&gt; today and we start talking about our favorite topic -- female musicians -- and a certain lady named P.J. Harvey came up. The only record of hers I really got into was Rid of Me but holy shit pile was that a fucking &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgAPFKDL6Sg"&gt;juggernaut&lt;/a&gt;. It was one of those records that I was way too dumb to appreciate when it came out and then years later I threw on and was like, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBsE4ICwivA"&gt;"Damn."&lt;/a&gt; Seriously -- that's exactly what I was like. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here's a little gem I found: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1uK7Uny066M&amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1uK7Uny066M&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a really interesting video because it's from &lt;a href="http://www.lpi.usra.edu/lpiintern/alumni/images/intern_group/images/interns1993.jpg"&gt;1993&lt;/a&gt;. Apparently that was the last year it was acceptable for people to wear sunglasses on stage (except for &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuaIVdXNuk4&amp;feature=related"&gt;Mick Collins&lt;/a&gt;). Also, that drummer gets pretty &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xEzGIuY7kw"&gt;weird&lt;/a&gt; on those backup vocals. I'm into it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6669578638714044830-5828351160504893501?l=handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/feeds/5828351160504893501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6669578638714044830&amp;postID=5828351160504893501&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/5828351160504893501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/5828351160504893501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/2008/05/uh-pretty-damn-tough.html' title='Uh, Pretty Damn  Tough'/><author><name>Ben</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09197177502873311110</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17126401533014084221'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669578638714044830.post-6911365990181264524</id><published>2008-05-02T08:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-16T11:35:35.479-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Banal Bar</title><content type='html'>So last night ... &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=FzRH3iTQPrk&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;me and danny&lt;/a&gt; decided to leave &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs6AjuzJJNk"&gt;the apartment building&lt;/a&gt; we both live in to head out for some beers. Cause sometimes you just need a break from the mom being wildly abusive to her child, &lt;a href="http://kensforce.com/chupacabra083007.jpg"&gt;the rabid dog&lt;/a&gt; that lives upstairs, and the dude next door who makes &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKzNZDXfm0Q&amp;amp;eurl=http://squatorrotbitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;horrendous music&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we went to the local bar to&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpaIjOPnh4M"&gt; pod &lt;/a&gt;...but it was just weird and lame in there so we bounced. Dudes in there &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wot9U_T6KH8"&gt;were stoaked on hockey&lt;/a&gt; and over charging. So we left to go check some new spot ... that turned out to be &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a7oG0LwafM&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;extra yuppied out&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we ended up at some extra &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoYbqZrh1RU"&gt;park slope bar.&lt;/a&gt;.. which kinda &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-B3zxz9Dtg"&gt;blew&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJDpWtBhUaQ"&gt;chunks&lt;/a&gt;. I noticed in the background, as I watched people play connect four and just generally lull each other to sleep, that the record playing was Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Which made me realize that Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is a record made for &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y5eBRWQerY"&gt;boring people.&lt;/a&gt; Now don't get me wrong I actually really liked that record...but if it is being played you are basically in a boring place with boring people (otherwise known as park slope)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I promise you if you know a really boring person, they have this record. Not only do they have it, it is prominently displaced, cause they think it speaks to some deepness about them. Like "me and Jeff Tweedy have been through a lot but luckily we found this &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffHcGlF0xDw"&gt;authentic country music&lt;/a&gt; to help us make it through."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. the guy's name is Jeff Tweedy ...unacceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appros of absolutely nothing this video for &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZwQ_WJWX68"&gt;damaged goods&lt;/a&gt; is kinda hundred dollar biller ... fuck, Jon King puts it down on the dance floor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, i like this song a lot:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9ENLOtLHBWE&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9ENLOtLHBWE&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6669578638714044830-6911365990181264524?l=handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/feeds/6911365990181264524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6669578638714044830&amp;postID=6911365990181264524&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/6911365990181264524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/6911365990181264524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/2008/05/banal-bar.html' title='Banal Bar'/><author><name>robbie talihan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037156272275831988</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00217325283369942010'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669578638714044830.post-4541410860216759107</id><published>2008-04-29T14:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T09:39:44.407-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Busted</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6_3TbpOtjhw/SBoZ8_R5bqI/AAAAAAAAABc/Me2aiLd9Hfc/s1600-h/guity.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6_3TbpOtjhw/SBoZ8_R5bqI/AAAAAAAAABc/Me2aiLd9Hfc/s320/guity.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195493655694634658" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm feeling pretty &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=bVDmFm0FxmM"&gt;guilty&lt;/a&gt; these days. Actually, I've been feeling pretty guilty for, well, close to a year now. It's not because I had a &lt;a href="http://www.momofuku.com/ssam/default.asp"&gt;pork bun&lt;/a&gt; during passover and it's not because I write "Haha" in text messages when I think something's &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=jxStmceNTs8"&gt;funny&lt;/a&gt;. Shit, it's not even because I own the first two Killers records (I didn't pay for them -- I swear. Seriously. Leave me alone). It's because of a certain quartet of &lt;a href="http://www.bwog.net/uploads/hipster.jpg"&gt;Jim-Johns&lt;/a&gt; who go by the name &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Against_Me%21"&gt;Against Me!&lt;/a&gt; (Yeah, there's an exclamation point in their name. Ugh.) Now, I'll admit I've only heard a few of their songs, but they infuriated me. Boring, dumb lyrics, blah, blah, blah. I don't even know enough about them to validate my hatred and I intend to keep it that way. But, for all their flaws, for all their toothpicks that stick me in the eye, the one thing I hate most about them is that they wrote this fucking song. This song rules. I can't stop listening to it. I paid 99 fucking cents on &lt;a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;friendID=18625122"&gt;iTunes&lt;/a&gt; so I could listen to this song all the time. And I do. When I'm &lt;a href="http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/images/tom-segway-epcot.jpg"&gt;on my way to work&lt;/a&gt;, when I'm &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=7bUkbtkNKk0"&gt;getting dressed&lt;/a&gt;, when I feel &lt;a href="http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~withamb/AngryBaby.jpg"&gt;angry&lt;/a&gt;, when I wanna &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=8G_trnJJYuI"&gt;get fired up&lt;/a&gt;, when &lt;a href="http://www.247cleaning.com/Commercial-cleaning_1.jpg"&gt;I'm cleaning &lt;/a&gt;the apartment -- all the time. &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=QBAT0DS9_YU&amp;feature=related"&gt;Talihan and I&lt;/a&gt; went to see &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=747gvSxz2ZM&amp;feature=related"&gt;Mastodon&lt;/a&gt; about a year ago and they were opening and I was legitimately bummed that we missed them. Fuck. Heaven help me:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BKzNZDXfm0Q&amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BKzNZDXfm0Q&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright. Let's talk about this. &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=I3Qi8Gxj0TY"&gt;Street-cred&lt;/a&gt; is way important to me so let me tell you what I find intolerable about this first:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=VHWWmSWKnDo"&gt;lyrics&lt;/a&gt;, dude, the lyrics. I'm not trying to play my expert card, but I'm pretty sure that punk rock songs are not allowed to use the word "minimum." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=MQzY5FH9b6Q&amp;feature=related"&gt;The drummer&lt;/a&gt;. I'm not buying that beard or those glasses, bruh. Sorry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Surprise, surprise -- lyrics again. Now, it's been a while since I graduated from college but I'm pretty sure I remember being taught that the first rule to writing a song about a &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=nz6nq4AhFZE"&gt;junkie&lt;/a&gt; is DON'T USE THE WORD "JUNKIE."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Just about everything else about this song/video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. As I said, I can't stop listening to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright. Now to defend myself. Why &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=52PPm1fozqU&amp;feature=related"&gt;I love this song&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The intro with the guitar and drums -- classic. Gets me every time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The chorus has a "ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba" part. I'm really into that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Uh, the...uh..I just really like it. Sorry. &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=vzQ8ef-RpQo"&gt;I hate myself&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in conclusion. This song blows. But if you deny the fact that it &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=dFL6_jmWsB4&amp;feature=related"&gt;rules&lt;/a&gt; you are lying to yourself and everyone you know. Know what I mean? This song is kinda like a &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=L-1s9MKDrmU"&gt;Spike Lee movie&lt;/a&gt;: it spells everything out for you, makes me kinda furious with white people and I keep on coming back for more. Damn. It feels so good to be bad.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6669578638714044830-4541410860216759107?l=handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/feeds/4541410860216759107/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6669578638714044830&amp;postID=4541410860216759107&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/4541410860216759107'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6669578638714044830/posts/default/4541410860216759107'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://handsomepunkrockers.blogspot.com/2008/04/busted.html' title='Busted'/><author><name>Ben</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09197177502873311110</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17126401533014084221'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6_3TbpOtjhw/SBoZ8_R5bqI/AAAAAAAAABc/Me2aiLd9Hfc/s72-c/guity.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
