Recommended Reading

If you read my piece on The Goon from a couple weeks back and still aren't reading, all I have to say is, "What the Fuck!?" I'm not going to say anymore. I'll just leave you a fine piece of dialogue from this gem:


Goon: I'm not calm. I'm bored. Let's go smash somethin' with a pipe. Studebakers. Let's go smash some Studebakes.

Franky: Okay. But it would be more fun if we was drunk. Holy crud, Goon. Look! It's one of those circus dogs what walks on two legs!

Goon: That's a werewolf, idiot! Let's smash him with a pipe!

and there's this too...

Green Naugahyde

This was announced a while back, but I was hearing numerous release dates, so I figured I'd wait for something official before mentioning this. Anyway, Primus' 8-year hiatus of making new music will be over September 13th. Will it be awesome? Probably not. Will it be bad? I don't think so. But I have a special nostalgic place in my heart for Primus that I'm excited for any kind of reunion thing. And they've been playing I think eight of the new songs over the past few months. This one's my favorite so far:



The first time I watched this clip and Les says, "You're gonna love this fucking song," I was like, "Sure I will (sarcastically and metaphorically rolled my eyes)." But it turned out to be awesome, and I felt ashamed of my New Yorker-like cynicism.

Guns Are Better Than Everything Else

So I'm trying to put together an interview with Big Business for Chunklet. Let me know if any of you have any questions. Also, I just got the Quadruple Single EP and it's totally badass and you should all go see them and pick it up while you're there.

Builders of Death

The Builders and the Butchers recently collaborated with Murder by Death as part of MBD's 7" series where they share a split and the bands cover each other. As a bonus, one of the dudes from TBATB did some extra songs involving chiptunes.

I don't think I've mentioned the Builders here, but they're a fantastic band and I had an absolutely great time seeing them a few months back at the Mercury Lounge.

This is cool. Check it out:
