Tonight: Spiral Flag @ Midway (Full Band)

I really don't post at all anymore, huh? That's a shame but I just don't have the time these days. Anyhow, former BSC review dude Gabe is making his debut tonight with a full band (well at least under the name Spiral Flag). I'm excited to hear how it sounds live because the recordings are quite good. Here are a few for you to check out if you like.

MP3's (Don't have the track name, sorry):
Track 5 - Spiral Flag
Chauffeur - Spiral Flag

Coincidentally Cutie (former BSC photographer) will be playing at Midway the next night. His band is called Life Is Here, they're pop punk-ish.

WTF!!! Vineland Music Festival (Lollapalooza)

This is one of the most mind blowing things I've ever read in my life. The Lollapalooza people are throwing a huge 3-day festival in Vineland. Yes, that's right -VINELAND. As in the South Jersey town I grew up in. It's literally going to be 5 minutes from my parents house. So fucking weird this is.

I'm going to put together a guide for all ya'll tourists who have never been to Vineland. But anyway, the area they're descibing is NOT very good for large amounts of people. Hotels are scarce and I can't think of any nearby camp grounds. Not that it matters to me since I can crash at my parents house.

But really man...I'm kinda freaked out by this whole thing. I gotta give Perry a hand for this one (he's the mayor).

Here is the farm they're having it on. Yes it's big but considering there's NOWHERE else to park that field is going to fill up quickly with cars. This is especially true when you factor in the fact that there's no public transportation anywhere near here.

Zeitgeist: A Movie You Must See (Watch It Here)

Wake up...stop living for entertainment and look around you. Watch this film and think about it. Do I claim that all facts are 100% accurate in this, no. But consider the points made and consider standing up for yourself.

The intro in this version is VERY long. Feel free to fast forward through the first ten minutes to get to the interesting info. It's basically everything you've always thought about government and religion but could never really prove.

Watch:

Zeitgeist

Here is a skeptical review - please take the extra time to read the comments. That way you get both sides of the story. The overall consensus (from several reviews - not just that one) is that while some of the evidence presented in Zeitgeist may be exaggerated the overall questions raised are legitimate. If this film does nothing else it should get you to research these topics for yourself. I know you're very busy with TV and parties and all that but maybe it's time to set that aside, at least temporarily.

Is it hypocritical that a guy who writes a blog about music and parties is telling you to put aside entertainment to research this topic? Absolutely! But that's the point, I have put this aside (temporarily) to look into this sort of shit. If I can do it then so can you.

FTW: The Sonics Played The Warsaw...

...and nobody told me!!! I hate you all. Seriously. I would have robbed an old lady to see The Sonics. How in the fuck does this band play in my neighborhood and I don't even hear about it until three days after? DAMN IT! Not only that but they played twice - Friday and Sunday. ARGHHH! This is the first time they've played in 35 years or so. They said it's the only shows they're ever playing...I hope they're full of shit. PLEASE GO ON TOUR!

Frank Zappa & Mike Nesmith (Video)

This is excellent! Haha to "...dirty, gross and ugly"
