i downloaded a full concert April 30, 2003
Posted by zenandjuice in : Music , comments closedi downloaded a full concert (video) of the Sex Pistols… 1977, Dallas.
Thoughts:
1. I’ve always loved Johnny Rotten/Lydon’s stage presence.
2. The way he rolls his “R’s” when singing is great.
3. He has horrid british teeth, which adds to the character.
4. Sid Viscious was a twat…. he was there for shits and giggles. He was fricking crazy, and that’s what added to the charm.
5. As far as musicians, the rest of the band WAS talented, except for Sid.
It’s still a really powerful performance, and shines alot of light on the mid/late 70’s punk scene.
This just shows how cookie-cutter the entire punk scene became. The Sex Pistols were the mold
used to form contemporary bands. The Ramones had the same influence. However, the Ramones
catered more to the Velvet Underground Art School crowd, while the Sex Pistols seemed
exactly what the beer drinking British lower-class required.
Musically, they were worlds apart (yet similar compared to other genres at the time).
Sex Pistols oozed angst, anger, and annimosity through every pore. The Ramones
followed their well-crafted pop sensibilities with melodies and catchy choruses.
Sure, three chords were all they needed….but they made up for their lack of musical
skills with their beach boys/beatles influences power pop.

sir mix-a-lot April 30, 2003
Posted by zenandjuice in : People , comments closedSo, my friend Adam works the front desk at the Radison Hotel in downtown Fayetteville.
Sir Mix-A-Lot was in town this weekend (playing a show at the Pike House…I’m sure a career high), and stayed at the Radison.
The following conversation took place:
Sir Mix-A-Lot: Is there any place around here I can get some food?
Adam: Well, the kitchen is closed, but I could fix you something. What would you like ?
Mix: [started rattling off some things]
Adam: Well, those things would require cooking, which means that I’d have to turn on the stove, and it takes 45 minutes to preheat. Would you like something cold? I can make you a sandwich, or some fruit, or some other things that we have in the fridge.
Mix: Well, I don’t eat bread or fruit. I’m on the Atkins diet.
Adam: [Pauses, then says] Well, I guess you can’t have any buttermilk biscuits either.
{for those of you not in the know, “Buttermilk Biscuits” was an early single from the Swass album}
Mix: [Smirk]
So, Adam goes and prints off a picture from sirmixalot.info, and gets it autographed.
The autograph says: “To the host with the toast”

[12:14] me: well, then don’t start.
[12:14] Bnmp8y: but he says i will meet some people that are on them
[12:16] me: well, that can happen anytime.
[12:16] Bnmp8y: he said people on x can get violent, and i never heard that before
[12:19] Bnmp8y: he said he got asked by a guy on x to rub his back and he wouldnt do it, and the etard got really angry
[12:19] Bnmp8y: arent they gonna check everyone like last time at green 3 or is it just too much trouble so they wont do it?
[12:21] Bnmp8y: i was really scared to go to green 3
[12:22] Bnmp8y: i was afraid i’d get in a fight with a junkie
[12:24] Bnmp8y: what drugs do you think they will do besides x you think

[12:27] Bnmp8y: and a staff member at green 3 said that they caught some people trying to sneak in x
[12:27] Bnmp8y: and this being an outdoor rave, it seems liek people would be MORE likely to bring drugs
[12:28] Bnmp8y: and since you can bring like tents and back packs and all sorts of stuff, it seems more likely people can smuggle the stuff in
[12:29] Bnmp8y: i just dont want to get in a big fight with an etard because he wants some gay sex and i wont give him any is all
[12:31] Bnmp8y: or get attacked by a nutcase on acid

liz phair April 29, 2003
Posted by zenandjuice in : Music , comments closedi just got an advance of the new liz phair album (due out June 24th)….
Oh man.
Only 2 tracks in so far, but she’s making me curl my toes again.
Damn, do I love her.
A little bit of a more polished sound….I know she worked with the production team responsible for some of the current teen pop acts, but they sure can produce…..
so far, my favorite track is ‘hot white cum’
hahaha
drama drama drama April 28, 2003
Posted by zenandjuice in : People , comments closedSo, it all started the weekend before last.
We’re all hanging out at my friend Justin & Kristie’s place…having a suprise birthday party for our friend Jacqueline….Her boyfriend Marc put it together.
People were invited…some people were not invited, and yet they showed up anyway.
In the past, Joi has talked about how much she hated Jacqueline. How much she loved Marc’s previous girlfriend, and thought she was much better than Jacqueline.
Of course, to Jacq’s face, Joi talks about how great she is.
So, we’re all hanging out, and Jacqueline comes into the kitchen to find Joi all over Marc, with Marc not welcoming these advances. Jacqueline runs off as Joi flashes her a ‘what’s your fucking problem’ look, and another friend of ours goes after Jacqueline
At this point, I didnt know what was going on…all that I know is that something upset Jacqueline. I go out with Bethany and Marc in search of Jacqueline, to try and make sense of things. Bethany & I talk privately with Jacqueline, and smooth things out…telling her that nothing is going on between Joi & Marc, and more importantly, trying to get her to not confront Joi face-to-face, or doing anything to harm Joi or her property.
We head back to Justin’s place, now that Jacqueline was calmed down. I don’t let her borrow my phone because I knew she was going to try and call Joi.
I tell her to just let it rest, and just let it go.
We get back, Joi is gone, and Jacqueline asks Mike if she could borrow his phone. He lets her, not knowing who she is calling. Jacqueline calls Joi. We’re not sure what is said between them, but Joi calls Mike a little while later upset and crying and pissed that he allowed Jacq to call her. Which, he of course had no knowledge about.
It’s also mentioned how Joi was threatening to kill other people in the room - telling them in person that she could kill them in their sleep. Nice.
A couple of days later, Justin, Mike, and I get voicemail from Joi… we’re apparently the cause of all her problems, and the reason that her sanity is slipping.
However, her manic depression, suicide attempts, bipolar disorder, alcoholism, and refusal of treatment apparently has nothing to do with it.
As it stands now, apparently the three of us are the Unholy Trinity in her life. We are the root cause of all the drama. I guess Justin, for not inviting her to his house in the first place, and then she showed up. Mike for allowing Jacqueline to use his phone without his knowledge. And myself for preventing Jacqueline from doing anything bad to Joi. Now, I’m not sure who’s to blame for Joi being all over Marc in the first place, but I’m sure she’ll come up with someone.
I feel sorry for Joi. She brings alot of things onto herself. She recently got beaten up by some guy from her past, whom she refuses to tell anyone about. I’m thinking it’s more obvious that she beat herself up…causing bruises all over her body. She has tried to cut herself, and kill herself on several occasions.
She only comes around when she wants to complain about how terrible her life is, however she won’t follow anyone’s advice…. randomly fucking people, or fucking people whom she publicly talks bad about (talking about how terrible Sean is…how horrible he is, while no one else sees this side of him).
There’s a lot of people in her life who’s tried to help her, but she doesnt want help. Just pity. She works at a children’s store in the mall, and I’m really scared about her freaking out on kids, and trying to do something to harm someone there.
I used to care…and I guess I still do. But when she makes up her own mind about the situation, and how we reacted after she left (and falsely too), it makes me realize that it’s all in her mind, where it’s always been. The part of her that I cared about died along time ago. Or maybe it never existed in the first place.
