hello

BS stood for Black Swan not bullshit and the hostitlity was toward the judge who let this happen. This love the villian not the victim mentality.
Je t'adore Quebec.
While the wines mentioned may work give me one of those beers that has the canoe filled with ghosts looking for souls on the label.


I was working in a record store when New Day Rising demo came out. I put it on and said what the fuck is this? It was like buzzsaws to the brain. I was hooked. Unfortunately I only got to see them once before they broke up imploded... you know.
This is a pretty long thread considering it started with one word.

Well, imagine going into a tiny blackhole club and hearing them for the first time before they had recorded anything. We all said, "what the fuck is this?" They were different from the other twin cities punk bands for sure, the three of them together had a magic chemistry that none of them ever recreated after they split.

"Hardcore" eventually became a tired parody of itself, but those first few bands - Hüsker Dü, Bad Brains and the like...yeeeeoooowwww!

Turn it up!

And its those moments-that AHA what the fuck-stuff that needs to be written down, recorded.
 
Metal Circus Husker Du is a long way from New Day Rising Husker Du. I remember hearing that first album and going, "Holy Shit! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!" By the time New Day came out, they had evolved substatially. Sadly, I too only got to see them once, very near the bitter end in some theater in L.A. the name of which escapes me. I am still hooked on Bob Mould and all of his various projects.

And Bukowski didn't have to police a forum, what's your point?

You were posting a rapid-fire stream of bullshit, so you got a little time off to reconsider how you want to approach this. You started off on the wrong foot. Now you have another chance. Tabula rasa, as the kids say.

It is what it is
Kids say Tabula rasa?
I thought priests and Latin scholars said that.
Boy, I'm outa touch.

And ekim...
let's not start supposing what Bukowski would or wouldn't have done under various circumstances, huh.
That's pointless and such a damned waste of time.

It is what it is
sorry instead of wasting time maybe we should debate obscure Bukowski facts

OK

Did you know that Charles Bukowski was the first man to recite poetry whilst swimming the English channel?


I mean... the entire time... he never shut up.

I remember buying my first Arvo Part CD in 1989.
Listened to it while drinking a bottle of red. Just me and this music.
I have bought every scrap of his music as it became available and yes, Tabula Rasa is one of my favourites too.

But that contemporary choreography really blows.
I love dancers but can't stand watching them shoehorn themselves into another mans art.

I hope you play it loud... 100 yards from the Rhine?

Ja?

:)

"So fuck Doubleday Doran"
RIP
Ja, of course!

But I don't hit golf balls into the Rhine like one of our buknet members wrote in a strong poem.


This was the only Arvo Part clip I could find.....and it's the very first time I've heard the man speaking.

I've also listened to Tabula Rasa for the first time late 80ties, it was in France.

Came across this flyer from First Avenue (it was called Sam's back then). 7th St. Entry was a tiny punk club that was part of First Avenue. Like a closet off to the side where the disco people could ignore it. But when they weren't playing disco they had some great shows in the main room.

In March of 1981 you could have seen Husker Du, Prince and the Replacements in one week (and Curtiss A., who was great, but who you've never heard of). The month previous we played our only show there. Saw Bo Diddley there, King Sunny Ade, Johnny Thunders and Wayne Kramer, the Pretenders, Bad Brains, Joe Perry, U2 played there (I didn't see that)...I guess everyone played there. A great club. Hard to imagine a time when King Sunny Ade and Johnny Thunders could play the same club, but there you go.
