Hip quote….
Quote
“I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says, “Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go see him. That should pick you up.” Man bursts into tears. Says, “But doctor… I am Pagliacci.” Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.”
Binders Full of Women? How about a Photo Album of Naked Chicks?
I don’t know about you…but my Twitter account about exploded yesterday during the Presidential debates when Romney mentioned his “Binders Full Of Women”.
It has gone totally viral. Even more so than when he said he wants to fire Big Bird of Sesame Street. 
The Tumblr site Binders Full Of Women has some very funny items. Definitely check that out…how fast did that site come up?
What the ‘binders’ reminded me of was a skit from The Beavis and Butt-head Experience CD when Beavis and Butt-head went on the band Anthrax‘s tour bus and got to look through their ‘Photo Album of Naked Chicks’.
They pose as letters of the alphabet…you should see letters ‘O’ and ‘U’.
Classic…
Hip free eBook…Kiss The Sky by DC Gallin
I wanted to thank author Denise Gallin for the copy of the book Kiss The Sky published by Telemachus Press. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but I just wanted to let everyone know that it is being given away this week at Amazon.com for FREE. This is a limited time offer, so go download it.
Please click on ‘Comments’ and let me know what you think of the book. I can’t wait to read it!
Here’s a brief synopsis:
London in the heady 90’s is waking up to the tribal pulse of repetitive beats, but the police violently attempt to clamp down on the freedom and unity emanating from the speaker stacks. Following the artist’s path in these tumultuous times, Claudia and her friends move into a freezing cold warehouse in the East End while surviving on canned sardines and apples. How can they escape the matrix and remain true to their quest?

Hip lyrics…Losing My Edge
Quote
Losing My Edge by LCD Soundsystem:
Yeah, I’m losing my edge.
I’m losing my edge.
The kids are coming up from behind.
I’m losing my edge.
I’m losing my edge to the kids from France and from London.
But I was there.I was there in 1968.
I was there at the first Can show in Cologne.
I’m losing my edge.
I’m losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear when they get on the decks.
I’m losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978.
I’m losing my edge.To all the kids in Tokyo and Berlin.
I’m losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties.But I’m losing my edge.
I’m losing my edge, but I was there.
I was there.
But I was there.I’m losing my edge.
I’m losing my edge.
I can hear the footsteps every night on the decks.
But I was there.
I was there in 1974 at the first Suicide practices in a loft in New York City.
I was working on the organ sounds with much patience.
I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band.
I told him, “Don’t do it that way. You’ll never make a dime.”
I was there.
I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids.
I played it at CBGB’s.
Everybody thought I was crazy.
We all know.
I was there.
I was there.
I’ve never been wrong.I used to work in the record store.
I had everything before anyone.
I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan.
I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes.
I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988.But I’m losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent.
And they’re actually really, really nice.I’m losing my edge.
I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit – 1985, ’86, ’87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good ’60s cut and another box set from the ’70s.
I hear you’re buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.
I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.
I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars.I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know.
But have you seen my records? This Heat, Pere Ubu, Outsiders, Nation of Ulysses, Mars, The Trojans, The Black Dice, Todd Terry, the Germs, Section 25, Althea and Donna, Sexual Harrassment, a-ha, Pere Ubu, Dorothy Ashby, PIL, the Fania All-Stars, the Bar-Kays, the Human League, the Normal, Lou Reed, Scott Walker, Monks, Niagra,
Joy Division, Lower 48, the Association, Sun Ra,
Scientists, Royal Trux, 10cc,Eric B. and Rakim, Index, Basic Channel, Soulsonic Force (“just hit me”!), Juan Atkins, David Axelrod, Electric Prunes, Gil! Scott! Heron!, the Slits, Faust, Mantronix, Pharaoh Sanders and the Fire Engines, the Swans, the Soft Cell, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics, the Sonics.
You don’t know what you really want. (x15)
Hip local news…Fishbone @ Attucks Theater 2/23/13
This news comes right after watching this great documentary on Netflix called ‘Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone‘. I recommend it.
Legendary band Fishbone will be preforming at the Attucks Theater in Norfolk, Virginia on Saturday, February 23rd, 2013.
This is part of the Attucks Theater’s Discovery Music Series.
Last time I saw Fishbone perform was at the Boathouse in Norfolk, Virginia 1997. They were part of the ‘Nuttstalk 19 Nutty 7’ tour. It was Fishbone, with opening act John Frusciante (of Red Hot Chili Peppers when he first quit the band and went solo…amazing) and Trulio Disgracias. Here’s a description:
“According to Addicted To Noise, Fishbone’s Norwood Fisher will be taking his roving, roaming P-Funk-inspired funk circus on the road from mid-April through early June with a lineup of bands that includes everyone from ska upkeepers the Skeletones to the reformed Thelonious Monster. Nuttstalk ’97, which will feature DJ sets in between bands, finds Fisher sharing the stage with Joi, Weapon of Choice, Super 8, former Red Hot Chili Pepper John Frusciante, the Street Walkin’ Cheetas and the supergroup Trulio Disgracias. This time around Trulio will include three members of Fishbone, three ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers and past and current members of Weapon of Choice, Spearhead, the Untouchables, Super 8, Circle Jerks and P-Funk.”
I remember Angelo using some giant full-page size rubber stamps and stamping and signing books of his ‘poetry’ at the merchandise table. I wish I would have bought one of those! I wasn’t such a ‘book-geek’ back then as I am now.
