Thank effin’ Christ I’m done with this. The comments on each video have been very supportive, but similarly, some have been downright pissy and shallow. My favorite one was "It’s not funny" which I found particularly chuckle-some.

Enjoy this as I’m sure it’s both work safe and comedy safe.

Part 6

Part 7

Part 8 (Cross had to leave)

Okay, so Teasley quit The Polyphonic Spree a few months back. That’s a bit of good news. However, our mutual buddy Valerie started sniffing around to see if he’d join And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead. Not exactly a bad band, but certainly not a band at the height of their powers.

In typical Teasley style, he turned down playing drums on their European tour almost exclusively because he couldn’t find his passport. So what does this mean? Oh, I don’t know, it means that he won’t be getting paid in black hair dye. And also, he won’t be having to smash his "B" equipment at the end of every show.

Feel free to roast Brian because, well, let’s admit it…..he needs it desperately.

Oh, I’ve included a TOD Peel session from ’02 that I think holds up particularly nicely.

Pretend this is black hair dye….

Trail of Dead – Invocation (Peel ’02)

Trail of Dead – Another Morning Stoner (Peel ’02)

Trail of Dead – Baudelaire (Peel ’02)

Trail of Dead – Richter Scale Madness (Peel ’02)

Trail of Dead – Homage (Peel ’02)

Not one for being a total gossip hound, but the core of Hot Snakes are joining forces again with Gar and some dude from CPC Gangbangs.

Not sure what to think of having a Canuck in the band (see below), but I’m sure it’ll be great if not amazing.

You heard it here first.

In honor of this awesomeness, I’ve included some live tracks of Hot Snakes a few years back at a show I put on with them.

Hot Snakes – Hate The Kids (Athens ’02)

Hot Snakes – Salton City (Athens ’02)

Hot Snakes – Bullet Train To Vegas (Athens ’02)

Hot Snakes – Live (Atlanta ’02)

Hot Snakes – Live2 (Atlanta ’02)

Hot Snakes – Live3 (Atlanta ’02)

Hot Snakes – Live4 (Atlanta ’02)

Oooofta.

…for Issue 20 which we’re gearing up. The only thing we’ve come up with so far is "there’s only 3 guys from Rush to make fun of"….

Suggestions? Post ’em in comments.

Curious. Post answers in comments. I’ll let you know if you get close.

"Damaged" is probably one of the great masterpieces of the 80’s. Case closed.

The Zip Code Rapists were one of the undersung comedic acts of the 90’s. Case closed.

I don’t know much about the Dirty Projectors, but damn, they sure know how to make "Police Story" their own. Be sure to download it.

Here’s the lyrics, and here’s a link to BF playing the song in "their prime".

If you have questions, I’ll be in my office.

Dirty Projectors-Police Story (Black Flag cover)

I’ll probably just give links to the last few segments later this week. First, I’ve got to actually post them on line though……

(From the "This Is Tiger Country" Auburn University ‘A Nashville Salute’ LP)

I spent 6 long years on the smelliest village of the plains, and I managed to never see a single play of the Auburn Tigers. On game day in Auburn 85,000-plus fans would descend on the town, and you could hear the game announcers and drunken crowd yelping from 3 miles away. Nonetheless, we constantly had punk rock house parties shut down by cops due to “noise” ordinances. What a crock-pot of runny-leg crap! I actually have a another Auburn football record where quarter back Randy Campbell sings about what a great running back Bo Jackson is—almost like they’re lovers–which they would have been if Bo hadn’t had buttock muscles that were tighter than a fly’s ass. Look though, don’t get me wrong, I have fond memories of my time at Auburn, hell, I still owe $700 in parking tickets for parking in front of the radio station during school hours. Yet football was sort of the nemesis of everything we tried to pull off, and the players themselves were more cock sucky than a gay crack addict with a dick already in their mouth. Ken Sanderson’s Alumni Hunting Season flyer for the Mystery Playhouse Radio Show is still a landmark of punk rock iconography. Coach Pat Dye looking over a dead fan with a shotgun while bending over on Toomer’s Corner. Pure Brilliance.

Oh, so the lyrics state at one point, “I could play for Nebraska?” Yeah, right only if you want to be play fagball instead of football. The only thing faggier than Omaha Brand Emo is Nebraska’s football program. God, I hope Garth sees this. Anyway, Spread the Word was sung by Bobby Harden and produced by Tom Cook–may there souls rot morbidly underneath Bryant-Denny stadium in Tuscaloosa. The song is actually one of the better ones on the “This Is Tiger Country” LP from 1981. I probably should have posted “There’s Must A Hole In Your Defensive Line.” It is a classic worthy of a new torture tape. War Fucking Beagle assholes!

Spread The Word – Auburn University

We (okay, me) at Shake It Records in Cincinnati think the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is fraud, wrapped in a lie, folded into a sham, and baked in political glad-hand/back-scratch re-around crock pot of crap.

Moments after last years throwdown, which was co-hosted with me by Chunklet czar Henry, he INSTANTLY pledged his services for this year. And so it shall be.

H20 hates this

Wanna get in the game? Even if you can’t attend, you can vote! But don’t bother voting for those inducted / deducted last year. Those would be:
