I hope the show continues in the new year! its been great!

I remember for some reason the Pure Moods commercial always gave me the heebie-jeebies when i was a kid. There was something about ethereal tone of the announcer, specifically the way he said "take a trip into the unknown......with the X...Files...Theme...." that weirded me out. It still gives me goosebumps and gives me a little quiver down my spine if i watch it. I donno why. When i got older and actually looked at the track list for the first Pure Moods album, its really an insane collection of songs. David Byrne's theme from The Last Emperor, a techno remix of the X Files theme(on the re-release in 97), Tubular Bells(which fun fact! Mike Oldfeld refused to watch the Exorcist because he thought it would be too frightening for him), Twin Peaks Theme, just a wild hodgepodge of music.

Part of the reason people started dunking on the When We Were Young fest was that they were apparently advertising bands for the show before even contacting them. There were a few band that came out after the first wave of hype like "uhhh we're doing this show??"

Put a little ass on it is a genuinely fun listen, and the rest of this album is horrible, and not even in a fun "Piledriver: the wrestling album 2" way.

yeaaaah he is 100 million percent a groomer. Its wild how many people in the community dont know how that relationship started. They met when she was sixteen, she came to LA when she was 18( think they married the same year?), Distillers were formed and almost immediately signed to Hellcat/Epitaph(think it was like a year after they formed), it was pretty gross.

Wouldnt the connection to Freddy with Doo-Wop music and 50/60s stuff be that it was music he liked in character? Dude was born in 1941. Obviously i agree with the points about the music working thematically due to references to dreaming and sleeping and all that. But if you look at it from a storyline perspective it makes sense also.

of course, almost as soon as i type this out Jeremy makes the same point.


In addition, its funny you bring up Lion later, because Lions debut song was a song that was featured in Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter.

If you DO decide to do a scientology album, you should do "Mission Earth" by Edgar Winter. Its literally an adaptation of the book by Hubbard of the same name, but Hubbard left detailed instructions on specifically how he wanted the album to be made and sound. So its like "Space Jazz" except with Edgar Winter fronting it, its so hilarious.

It really is hilarious that Doyle was like "woah woah darker and darker music and lyrical content is too much man, sure, jacking off dead JFK, fine, cutting the heads off little girls? fine! killing babies? Fine!" and thats not even getting into the 2nd couplet of Last Caress.

Also Micheal Graves is a piece of shit, hes been on Infowars in the current era. He Really Sucks.

You know, its funny you mention ICP as "the wrestling of music" Jeremy, because (perhaps surprising no one) ICP are HUGE wrestling fans. They are backyard trained and have had matches or been involved with both WCW AND WWE( in the early 90s 2000s, and run their own promotion, "Juggalo Championship Wrestling"(previously Juggalo Championshit Wrestling). Their biggest show obviously coincides with the Gathering every year.

Their song "The Greatest Show" was reworked and used as a theme song by stable "The Oddities" in WWF and they performed the song a few times on WWF programming.

I absolutely love the point about how quickly music can evolve. My favorite example of this kinda thing is, as you pointed out, the first Ramones album was 1976, the first Crass album was 1978. Two years after Punk was arguably becoming established there was already this band that was saying "no this music can do more than just be angry and flippant" and declaring Punk dead, co-opted by materialism and capitalist forces before the starters pistol was even really shot. Granted that is more about a philosophy vs the sound but its still a fun thing to think about.

Knuckles forever!
