Really? I just opened up my "Liar" e-mail account and found that I have a metric-but-load of new messages - all from Facebook -, which is roughly triple the amount of messages I've ever gotten at that address in it's existence. Apparently Ms. Dena thought it would be fun to forcibly pop my social-networking cherry, so now I'm stuck in e-spreader bars, with a train of "friends" clogging up my inbox and regions beyond.
So to clear things up, The DCLies Facebook account is not me, but rather Ms. Dena pretending to be me, which is fine, because she'll probably make a better me than I would. Furthermore, I may take up the account eventually, get bored with it, and then at an indeterminate point transfer it back to Dena. We also may both take custody of the account and use our pre-nascent iParenting skills to neglect the account until it is forcibly removed from us by the online equivalent of the DCFS. Crystal clear, right?
Since the YouTube Posts I've thrown up over the last week have met with great enthusiasm (with an overwhelming cumulative comment tally of "zero"), I figured that I should give you all what you obviously want - A mega-post of you-tube clips. I spent all weekend picking some of my favorite video clips off of YouTube as a tease for the new (completely different) Summer 2007 WILT coming at the beginning of July.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Video Wilt #1 NOTE: You may want to hit "refresh" (F5) after each video, or everything starts to bog down and g-o ----- r--e--a--l ----- s---l---o---w.
Shellac – Prayer to God Fan video for the awesome track off of 1000 Hurts.
Dwarves - Drugstore Old Dwarves video from 1990.
Drag the River - Portland Replacements cover from the DtR boys that keeps getting bumped off of the regular WILTs – Jon (Armchair Martian) sings on this one.
Johnny Cash – God's Gonna Cut You Down Great video for a song I included on the Fall ’06 WILT
Against Me! – White People For Peace I really like this video (and song) – A lot. It’s off of their brand-new major-label debut.
Bad Religion - Sorrow Really cool video for a song that I had on the pre-WILT comp “Paradigm Lost”.
Methadones – Say Goodbye To Your Generation If you read this blog – First off, sorry - Secondly, you should know all about this band by now. Essentially, Sludgeworth for the late ‘90’s to the present.
Naked Raygun – Someday (Live) Speaking of Sludgeworth – Here’s a clip of Dan Vapid singing the SW anthem “Someday” with Raygun at the Minneapolis show immediately following the HoB Chicago shows. This is hands-down my favorite song of all-time (not the best version, but…). I’ve been putting this song on mix-tapes for going on 15 years. It was on some WILT awhile back.
MOTO - Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance to the Radio Oh shit, the MOTO boys are loose on the internets. They are gonna totally clog up all those tubes. Someone call an interweb plumber – Quick! Video for a track originally on my pre-WILT comp “Old Hipster-Douche Soundtrack (for Homos)”.
McLusky – She Will Only Bring You Happiness I had this song on the Summer 2006 WILT.
Riverdales – Blood On The Ice If you got the pre-WILT comp “It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time...”, you know this one. If not, It’s about Hockey. Great cheap-ass Fan Video. Nintendo 8-bit hockey Rulz!!!
Hanson Brothers - The Hockey Song The guys from No Means No channeling the Ramones. I fucking love this! Another one from the pre-WILT comp “It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time...”, but this time it’s AFTER “Blood on the Ice”, not before.
The Zambonis – Hockey Monkey More hockey goodness – Huge thanx to Ed (and Alex) for turning me on to this.
Two Man Advantage – Hockey Night In Canada The capper to the hockey-themed songs. Look for my buddy, Mr. Mark Linskey, in a cameo @ the 2 minute mark.
Mark Linskey – The Rat Is Dead (Live) I saw Mark in the preceding video and decided to see if he had any videos up on the You Tubes. I found this track from a show I set up for him out here in DC with Two Man Advantage opening (much to my surprise). This song was originally done by his full band, The Hudson Falcons. If you listen real hard you can hear my loud drunk ass braying in the background.
Foetus – Time Marches On Uber-swank video for this song off of “Love”.
Turbonegro – Get It On Everyone’s favorite Nordic death-punk band gives us this one. The hardest part of throwing together this comp was trying to decide which Turbonegro video to include. I chose this one (not quite sure why).
The Division of Laura Lee - Need To Get Some A track from the Fall '05 WILT comp. This has to be one of my favorite videos of all-time.
Electric Six – I Buy The Drugs AKA: that one E6 video set in a frat-house. Hilarity ensues.
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes – I Believe I Can Fly Karaoke iz da bomb. For some reason they couldn't get Karaoke master Old Dog to participate in this video, so they had to load it up with other lip-syncing celebs - look for everyone’s favorite jailbird, Ms. Paris Hilton, @ 1:09.
Jason Webley –Hey Ya (Live) This is a cover of that Outkast song from the show here in DC that I couldn't get anyone to go with me to.
Tommy Heavenly 6 – Heavy Starry Chain Viva La J-Pop! This one’s for The Girl.
Dillinger Four – Maximum Piss and Vinegar Totally great fan video tribute to Najica anime girls that uses the D4 track for some (totally) unknown reason. Animated pantie shots galore.
Screeching Weasel – Cool Kids Another great home-brew fan video. And yet song from the pre-WILT comp “It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time...”.
Nerf Herder – Van Halen More dork-rock. From their first self-titled album.
Rancid – Knowledge (Live) The guys from Rancid “covering” a track from their original band, Operation Ivy.
Jawbreaker – Jet Black Great video for a great song off of one of my top-10 albums of all-time.
Barry McGuire – Eve Of Destruction This is a 1965 cover of the P.F. Sloan song with modern imagery. It has bible verses in the video and ends with an image of the bible, so I consider watching this video as “church”. This could be used to free up some valuable Sunday time for you religious types. I’m just saying… I’ve been infatuated with this song for over a year now, and have about 10 different versions of it. I plan on doing an all EoD comp once I track down 6 or 7 other versions (thank Ed for planting that idea).
Those godless red commies are trying to turn our poor innocent children into sodomites, transvestites, and homos. I know I say that all the time, but now I finally have incontrivertable proof.
I was cruising the inter-tubes when I came across the 1965 educational video "Perversion For Profit" on the Internet Archives site. Apparently, the Ruskies are using cheesecake girly mags to erode America's children's belief in God and turn them into masturbating rapists. As if that wasn't insidious enough, Red Ivan is marketing bodybuilding magazines to young christian boys in order to turn them into a bunch of prancing fairies while publishing racy novels to turn our young girls into sadomasochistic sodomites.
You may laugh now, but just wait until you return home from a hard day at work only to find Junior watching televised wrestling with a cucumber up his butt, and little Suzy prancing around naked in a black leather zipper mask with clothespins on her labia. It WILL happen if you don't take action NOW. Remember, obscenity leads to depravity - It is our duty to destroy it before it spreads.
If you care about the future of our United States, you really should click on the links below (just not at work) to learn of this impending threat to America's moral fiber. PART ONE - 13 min. PART TWO - 18 min.
The Girl sent me a link for Pandora Radio. It's a streaming radio station fueled by the Music Genome Project and it totally fucking rocks. It is hands-down one of the best web-based applications I've ever stumbled across.
To test it out, they have you enter the name of a band. I chose Naked Raygun. Here are the first 5 songs that were played in the stream: Naked Raygun - No Sex Supersuckers - Ron's Got the Cocaine Screeching Weasel - Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue Social Distortion - It's the Law Dag Nasty - We Went Wrong
How fucking great is that? I own every single CD that those songs come from. I created a few more stations for Screeching Weasel, Foetus, and Big Black - all with unbelievably awesome results. If you LastFMers are looking for a new alternative you should definitely check it out. For more info, click HERE.
I'm about to throw up another rant on the whole home-repair boondoggle, but I figured that I should include a chaser beforehand so that Mike wouldn't be tempted to contact the authorities. Here's something I found on teh internets. Birdies R cute.
Does anyone else remember EBN? I was introduced to these guys on the first Lollapalooza tour, and picked up their 'Commercial Entertainment Product' video as soon as it hit the shelves back in '92. I wore that fucking tape out (literally). I looked around for a replacement forever, but never had any luck in finding anything affordable. Well, now all of their stuff is up on the YouTube - All you have to do search for 'EBN - Emergency Broadcast Network', and you're all set. You're on your own in trying to score a 5-strip of windowpane, however.
Double-fuck me! ...the MPAA was right; Illegal downloading is killing the film industry. I just took a look at my spam-folder and found these e-mails from (apparently) cash-strapped celebs: - Harrison Ford - Subj: YOUR EMAIL ID HAVE WON PRIZE - Halle Berry - Subj: juept good news - Tyra Banks - Subj: BEST VIAGRA LEGETAMATE FROM UINTED STATES - Sandra Bullock - Subj: good intercalat - Forrest Witacre - Subj: improve ur sexual lives immediatly - Tom Cruise - Subj: SOME SWING PICS ? - Lindsay Lohan - Subj: Lohans Crotch Hair Scare - Mrs. Cher Madonna - Subj: Sovetskie Mul'tfil'my and my favorite - Thomas Jeffersons - Subj: Tina Turner Amsterdam, Floyd Wall Rat Pack
God, I loved the Thomas Jeffersons - General Sherman Helmsley was fucking brilliant.
I don't know about you all, but I'm gonna buy some boner-pills just to help out Tyra Banks. Sister has legal bills to pay.
I got drunk on Saturday, and sometime around 4AM on Sunday I managed to register over $300 worth of domain names. In retrospect, I can justify every purchase, but damn...
Here's the break-down: I registered 2 personal name dot-coms; I recaptured 2 domains for my old record store/label; I went ahead and got liesandexaggerations.com (that just links back to this page now, but I hope to throw up some extras on the home page); I registered domain for a band I've been trying to get going over the last couple of years (that I'm considering turning into a retail site); (and finally) I picked up a domain for a photography project that I've been wanting to do.
Now I just have to figure out how to design a damned web-page. I haven't fucked around with web design since '98. My Netscape Gold software is still cutting-edge, right? If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be much obliged.
Never Google (or Wikipedia) your own name - There's some genuinely weird shit out there on the interwebs. According to various Google search results, I'm gay, responsible for the war in Iraq, dead, and have a 45 year-old black daughter. Huh; I never knew.
While your at it, don't Google friends' names either - Rapemyprofessor had a couple of illiterates railing against Ed. I almost planned a drunken road-trip back to D-Town to shake down the bulk of his ex-students in pursuit of some answers.
Moral: If you're looking for information on the internets, all you'll ever find are lies & exaggerations. Snap!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to ride my bike on over to the cobbler shop to pick up my vintage brass heel nails as soon as they open.
Either a) Google fucked-up and merged its Chicago office info with that of some crappy restaurant -or- b) They've given up on the whole world-domination-through-technology gambit and decided to open up a mediocre steakhouse instead.
