Ramblings on life, liberty, and the pursuit of drunkenness. Tuesday, September 18, 2012. X is for X. They truly broke the mold. Tough for me to separate this record (or the band itself) from The Decline of Western Civilization, a film in which X totally outperforms a handful of other classic L.A. punk bands like Black Flag, Fear, and the Circle Jerks (exempt are The Germs, who defy conventions of musical criticism/appreciation). DJ Bonebrake taught me that there was nothing cooler than being a. Which has...

Ramblings on life, liberty, and the pursuit of drunkenness. Sunday, August 26, 2012. V is for Venom. Some guy told me that products with names starting with the letter V never sell as well as competing "non-V" brands. I always preferred Vivarin to NoDoz, and it's my understanding that Vagisil is the industry standard of the yeast infection world, but I believed the guy. I made a solemn vow to never name one of my bands with a V first letter- a vow I've kept to this day. So I'll spare you. I like. I made ...

Ramblings on life, liberty, and the pursuit of drunkenness. Friday, December 7, 2012. Y is for Yanni. I complete you.". Live at the Acropolis. This clearly goes down as one of the Seven Wonders of World Music. God! I used to love watching this and. On PBS on a slow night. Like an elite few artists (Zeppelin, Daniel Day-Lewis, Kris Humphries.), Yanni is at once sublime and absurd, mighty and mortal, profound and fucking stupid. Features the brilliant percussionist and music therapist. Yazoo - "Don't Go".
