    • Thanks for the links, always looking for good metal.

      The Sword instantly got a great rep. in Austin, God, it must be like 9 or 10 years ago. Nice.

      I hope I'm not repeating something someone else said, but in terms of actual stoner RAWK which I LOVE......

      The Sword here: The Sword - Freya

      High on Fire - Thraft of Canaan: High On Fire - Thraft of Canaan

      Okay, this is full on doom metal, but this particular tune by Goatwhore, gets the stoner drum breakdowns: Goatwhore - Alchemy of the Black Sun Cult

      I guess I'm showing all my cards. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE stoner, metal and yesss doom (how can you not like doom and say you like metal?).... oh yeah, Louisiana (Goatwhore), Texas (The Sword) and California (High On Fire)..

    • I guess I don't really like deep voiced women. It sounds like it'd be an interesting story though.

      Au contraire!... I´m totally shooooooocked!! Outch!  

      You say you don´t like Nico´s singing?, OK, I´m fine with IT and I´m not picking at you!! But I can tell you something: She had such a beautiful voice while talking!!! So sexy and deep...  I was lucky enough to spend a whole night with her (No! not having sex with her, you perverts!!).  But a lot better: Alk, stuff and talk...whatever, none of your business ;)   more important then her strong voice: she was simply such a beautiful person!! You would love her voice that much as well, if you just got to know her! :)
      Rest in Peace, Christa. :*

      I don't think this will be shocking but, I hate everything The Velvet Underground did with Nico, I hate it, I can't stand it, is it her voice, idk, I just don't like it.

    • Yeah, it's good to be interested/involved with politics, but please keep it out of my music! One of the many reason why I can't stand Crass.

      I can't listen to any of that early 80's hardcore political punk rock anymore.

      Back in the day I used to love it. I have a pile of Aussie punk in the record collection, I used to go to the gigs.  Even filled in on the Punk rock radio show from time to time on 3-PBS-FM from time to time.  Fuck, I even got tattooed by Smeer of Depression.

      I don't want to say it but it bores me now. Some of the vinyl has sold for big bucks on eBay (thank you crazy Japanese record collectors). Maybe I will sell it all off, maybe not, I do know I will not be listening to it.

    • 'Ha! Still alive you fat bastard!' Stewie Griffin after going back in time and stopping Kurt Cobain kill himself using Hagen Daas ice cream. Check it if you don't believe! Genius! Cannae get more punk than that!

    • Here's an obvious, but genuine, one ... Words of my own mind:

      "Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock."

      -Kurt Cobain

    • yeah what this guy said ^^^^^, craigslist is the way to go.  don't sell your self short,  get a nice kit that will last and become part of you.  as a active drummer my self, i wouldn't go near a Sound Percussion kit, those drums are garbage.

      Ddrums are ok, but i can't stand there hard ware and they look a little cheap to me personally.

      I see good Ludwig, Gretch, and TAMA kits go for 350-400 all the time on CL. hell even some of those pearl kits are good to...

      good luck

    • January 29, 2013 9:23 AM CST
    • If you can find a set of ddrums for $350 go for it.  I'm not sure where you are located but in Canada you can get a decent entery level Ludwig or Gretsch for $700 or $800.

       

      Also check Craigslist.  Good stuff comes up there cheap quite a bit.

    • I'm looking for a decent, but...cheap set of drums. Hey, i'm an art student in college, i'm not exactly climbing the money tree. My last kit was a Pulse and I loved it, it had great sound and was super cheap $300-$350...sadly my kit was stolen...so I need to start building up my setup again. I think the Pulse set I had is discontinued now, sadly, so I need to look for something else. Anyone know how Sound Percussion and DDrum sets are?

    • First show was The Blues Magoos at a local high school (NJ) in 1968. Saw them again in Woodstock, NY in 2009. 

      Punk? Best? Don't remember, can't say. Grinderman in NY last year? Maybe.

    • I also got to see Green Day, i don't really care for Green Day, but holy hell, those guys can put on a fuckin show! I was close enough to the front that I could see their wrinkles...I had to wonder if they were tired...I could't tell. 

    • January 29, 2013 1:30 AM CST
    • Saw The Casualties last year, it was fucking great. They played harder, faster, and more hardcore than the face painted metal heads they were touring with. Got drenched with their beer, stabbed with someones jacket spikes, and a lot of ribcage bruising from being in the front. It was a good time.

    • The name's Justin.

      Haven't been on here for a long time, mostly just lurked around and scoped the 'casts. I've never really been into forums until this past, but only on www.chopcult.com

      I've been working/living at a lodge in Sequoia National Park, CA since March '12.

      Spend most of my free time working on my bike, reading, hiking, camping and such. All while jamming to some of the older podcasts I have. Flying Saucer, Wild Wild Sound, Surfcast, Shout Bamalama!

    • Lookout Records was a big influence for me growing up in the Bay Area. I was too young for the Purple Onion Budget Rock scene, but all-ages pop punk shows were abundant thanks to Lookout's support. I became a huge fan of The Groovie Ghoulies. I remember the excitement as World Contact Day came out and I went to the video shoot for Island of Pogo Pogo. Lookout also exposed me to the Hi Fives, which were the first "retro" band I ever saw. Seeing guys spazzing out with suits and vintage guitars certainly left a big impact.

      What no one has mentioned so far was the change in management in  1997 and how that ruined Lookout. Larry Livermore created a defined identity for Lookout Records. With new releases, you knew that the band would fit within the style. When Livermore retired and Chris Appelgren from the PeeChees took over, it was the beginning of the end. Chris' taste was more artsy and open to emo, post-punk and more experimental groups. Gradually, the pop-punk bands were cut and different kinds of bands moved in. Part of Lookout's effectiveness was its judge of taste, but under Appelgren, you couldn't count on a band fitting into the Ramones-y pop punk idiom. I know that at the time, I quickly lost interest in Lookout and moved on to other things.
