I and I

BLASPMEMY
Three years ago I visited myself from the future, now present. I told myself (that is, myself –3 years) in no uncertain terms that the girl I was thinking about dating was going to break my heart.
“She’s 19, you dumbass. In 3 years she’ll be a completely different person. She’ll graduate from school and spread her wings and leave you – and it will break your heart.”
“But.. but…” myself (-3) answered, “you don’t know that. Maybe…”
“Maybe nothing,” my then-future self answered, “even if you were 20 years younger this wouldn’t last. She’d still leave you just to be free.”
“But she’s so damn hot. And I haven’t gotten laid in…” countered me (-3).
“I know. But there are other women out there.”
“She’s smart and jaded – an old soul. We get along so well.”
”True. You’d be great friends, probably for life – if you DON’T DATE HER.”
But I (-3) was lonely, horny, and half-crazy after a recent break-up and just wanted to have some fun again. I (-3) didn’t listen, despite repeated dire warnings and heartfelt conversations.
So I (-3) essentially wasted 3 years ignoring my future self until I (-3) have finally caught up with my present self.
Now I (+/-0) need another visit from myself (+3 years from now) to tell me where to find that special someone that won’t waste any more of my time. Unfortunately I (+3) don’t seen to be answering at the moment. Even my new (comparatively futuristic) cell phone can’t seem to get through.
I (+3) am never around when I (+/-0) need me (+3.) I (+3) only seem to come around when I (+/-0) won’t listen and I (+3) don’t speak loudly and clearly enough to get it through the thick skull of present-day me.
Hopefully I (+/-0) won’t be such a dumbass the next few years so that when I (+/-0) meet myself (+3) he won’t look at me (+/-0) with that sad look on his face. Maybe next time I (+3) will smile at me (+/-0) and say, “You finally listened to me.”

EAR PLUGS
No full-color review this week, though I’ve seen a couple of shows lately.
Last Wednesday GG King opened up the Star Bar Wednesday night with music a lot like the other bands he’s been in (Carbonas, for example.) Poppy punk, well crafted and fun.
Those Darlins followed with a strange combo of old time country and garage rock. And they’re damn easy on the eyes too.
King Khan & BBQ Show put on a good show but the joint was so crowded and boisterous I didn’t last long.
Then Friday The Star Bar had another night of action, though only a handful of people were there to witness it. What the…? put on the best show I’ve ever seen them do – really enjoyed it.
Kenny Crucial has some band that cleared out the basement every time they started up – really bad.
Empyres contain a former Hate Bomb but didn’t bring the explosive energy (the thin crowd could’ve been behind their lack of inspiration.)
The Forty Fives were excellent, playing as if the house was packed and nobody wanted to go home. Well, the few people there didn’t want to anyhow, demanding an encore. They are definitely on the ball again.
Full color reviews returning probably next week, but I wanted to get something out there ‘cause there’s so much good stuff in the Prophesy section. Heed the word!

Flap started out in 1990 as a two-man acoustic guitar duo (Andy Hopkins, Matt Miller) playing around the Little 5 Points area in Atlanta. In 1993, they turbocharged their sound by adding drums (Jason G.), insane vocals that sometimes incorporated rap (never could tell if it was done simply to be ironic), and plugging the acoustics into processors and amps. FLAP released 2 full-lengths in their seven years together- Pal and Flap Am in the House; the Buldug's EP, a handful of 7-inch singles and underground cassettes. They were explosive as a live group, bringing to mind the Minutemen and Beefheart's Magic Band.”

Happy Birthweek to Me

2009-10-19T01:38:07Z

If you’d like to raise a toast to your editor for his birthday, I’ll be at the Righteous Room October 20, Tuesday (b-day is actually the 22nd, but this is the official gathering) circa 7:30.

Old age and wisdom. Or just the SOS.

EAR PLUGS
Myopic I, The Forty Fives, The Cynics
http://www.degeneratepress.com/vault/2009/cynics_fortyfives_10_2009/index.html

FILM FLAM
I Sell the Dead didn’t get any promotion or advance notice but The Plaza is showing it on the big screen, thanks to a DVD copy the studio sent. It’s the tale of some 18th century grave robbers who get mixed up with the undead. It’s cute, funny, not in the least bit scary and definitely worth watching. I doubt they’ll keep it long, however, so get over there to see it.

Speaking of The Plaza, if you’d like to raise a toast to your editor for his birthday, I’ll be at the Righteous Room on October 20, Tuesday (official b-day is the 22nd, but this is the official gathering) circa 7:30. Afterward, I’ll be at The Plaza for Bizarro Saturday Morning Cartoons, a collection of weird old cartoons. This month it’s a monster/sci-fi theme. I attended this event last month and it was fantastic. Don’t miss it. 9:30, $10.

BLASPHEMY
It isn’t Facebook’s fault, but one of the things I hate about it is that once in a while I’ll get a Suggested Friend from high school and so far 9 out of 10 look like shit. Hell, it’s been almost 25 years, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they have aged, and with America’s obesogenic environment (yes, I work with scientists and statisticians studying the obesity “epidemic”), no surprise that most of them have gained weight, often quite a lot of weight.
It might not come as such a shock if we’d had more class reunions, or if I’d remained friends with more of these folks. But I’ve seen maybe half a dozen of my graduating class since the 10 year reunion, and only a fraction of our class showed up for that, and even that was almost 15 years ago.
It is a nagging reminder of the passage of time and our own mortality and I really don’t need that in my life right now. Happy goddamn birthmonth to me.

OK, fine...

2009-10-08T23:00:30Z

Remembered a few folks that do read this, even if they don't reply.
So here's the weeklyish ezine!

FILM FLAM
A fair number of regular weekly Drive Invaders extended the season for one more week to catch Zombieland, the American answer to Shaun of the Dead. Despite a gory, slow-mo opening credit sequence, there is less focus so much on the horror of zombies than the buddy picture aspects the movie has, with a dash of romance and coming of age tale. It's fun and funny but not terribly interesting (I think Shaun had more going for it) - prefect drive in fare.

EAR PLUGS
Been to a few random events but nothing that motivated me to do a review. However, there is a ton of great stuff to see this weekend, starting tonight with a free show at the Star Bar – Tiger! Tiger!, Electric Cycles, The Humms. Be there AND be square.

STAGE RIGHT, EVEN
Meant to post this last episode or so:

Hey, I just hit Hair last night at 7 Stages. You might want to make mention of it since it involves a number of excellent local musicians - Steve McPeeks (from Hot August Knights and a hundred other bands), Rob Thompson, Warren Ullom and David Miksch from the Judies (Ullom actually has one of the lead roles), Chris Love from Quench, and others. Very fun show - the entire audience was on stage dancing by the end. It runs through Oct. 10, with late night shows on Oct. 3 and 10.
