Very awesome. I miss a lot of shows and this is a cool way for me to see what I've been missing. There will be some other people filming at the Lollipop Luau this Saturday as well, trying to promote the arts and music of Expostion park. Everyone is invited, I'm making appetizers and theres always free cd's at the door for the early people. A nice summer party to say thanks for everyones support.

RIP A.L.
I would have worked up a cover of something from Forever Changes had I known (although not 'Alone Again Or', as there's already a million versions of that).

Speaking of covers, Shiny Around the Edges' rendition of Pocahontas was superb last night.

well, there's really two ways to treat CNE. the first, and easiest, is to simply examine you're relationship w/your wife...

the other way is to perform emergency testicular surgery which would be intensive and painful...

i'm talking balls painful.

Arthur Lee... He's that guy that all the self important hipsters talk about and like they own more than one record by, right? No, the other one. No, the other other one. Also, he's black, so + 3 Cred Points. So, who is doing the tribute set tonight at some shitty club? I need to know where to stand and nod and mourn by sorta opening my mouth to sorta sing along.

It's great, this is the second time this blog has posted "nothing going on" and the threads have blown up about nothing at all by dumbfucks who like to see their dumb thoughts attached to the name Anonymous. It said post anything here and you could've posted somethig useful, like what bands you'd like to see, where's your band or friends band playing or something? Anything? This is what you have to offer the world? Will you still be as useless as you are now when you're 80?

And once again some self-righteous asshole tries to tell us how things should really work without trying to salvage the thread by telling us about a band, where their band is playing, where a good show is... So, eat it.

Looky here, you PC little panty twister. Arthur Lee was black. It is a fact. Not an opinion. You trying to tell me that some of these little scenster pricks don't act like... You know what? I'm not even going to try. Turn off Air America and eat a cheeseburger, you wimp. I am not a racist. It was an anonymous post. If I wanted to be saucy and let my "true" feelings out about white people, black people, whatever, I could have. Get a grip. The dude way up there dropping the N bomb? Fuck that guy. Me saying what I said? Not a bigot. Some of these little jerkoffs collect records, shirts, pins, all strutting like a peacock. BELIEVE IT that some of these honkys collect "minority influences" SOLEY to get highfives down at the Darkside over a Pabst.
ME saying "+3 Cred" is acknowledging something that happens everyday, which is some cracker saying "it's okay, I have a black friend". Now, half read this, misunderstand because you are PC pillow biter, and get back to me with some shit that don't mean shit.

like I said, I won't have time to post anything until the end of this weekend, probably sunday. I've done a list basically every day this entire year (other than this past week and a couple of other days) so I hope people will have a little patience.

And I agree, a lot of these conversations are stupid, but I'm not sure what can be done about it, other than doing away with comments all together, which I think would be a bad thing. We could do away with anon comments, but that doesn't mean that people will have to use their real names, so I'm not sure how much that will really help.

SR, do you think me saying that white kids will favor a minority artist to look cool is a racist statement?

4:34 PM  
Blogger stonedranger said...

no i don't think so. I'm not sure if its accurate, but its certainly not racist per se. I'd say the context is pretty important in making that kind of determination.

Anonymous Anonymous said...

Maybe some people aren't hung up on color and just like the music for what it is- good music. Theres too many people getting highstrung in the blogs over shit that don't concern you, that being other peoples opinions and preferences. YOU are the one passing judgement about why people listen to what they do. YOU are the one getting aggravated about some pre-conceived notion about "other" people you've never even spoken to probably. Kepp judging. Keep being angry. You're gonna live forever. Arthur Lee was black and he played with a bunch of white dudes. What's the point? Why is this about color?

4:35 PM  
Blogger stonedranger said...

I also agree that it shouldn't be about color, but I don't think its bad to mention it in the context of a reasonable discussion.

Back to music discussion:
Here is some relevant info. The old violinist from Pointy Shoe Factory(Julie)was touring with Arthur Lee in his modern day version of Love a few years ago when they moved to Los Angeles.

So if a white kid listens to James Brown it's only because he thinks it will make him look cool? It's not because he's got ants in his pants and he needs to dance? This thread makes no sense to me. Why would someone else care the reason behind why someone likes something? We're counting up cred points now? We're collecting information about peoples cd collections to see how they measure up against ourselves? Are you people for real?

I like grape bubblegum. Sounds like useless information but so is what I like to listen to. Same difference. Stop judging people and forming little rules about music. There are no rules.

I like how people get territorial about bands and start calling the other people that listen to them "scenesters". Im sure the band only wanted that one territorial person to enjoy their music and spread a lot of hate to anyone that dare say they listen to them too. You wouldn't know you liked the band by the way you write on here- so full of hatred, so judgemental...thinking that because you've liked them longer you're the only one entitled to mention them. I hope you bought a million copies of all their records and made them who they are. I'm not really sure what a "scenester" is but if it's the opposite of you then they must be ok people.

arthur lee didn't play with "a bunch of white dudes", the second most dominant member of the band was ALSO black.

and as for love albums, i'm into the more garagey shit so i go for self titled, or De Capo.

...i've come to the conclusion that no matter what is said on this list, someone is always going to try and start a fucking riot. There is no reason or motive, some people just LIKE to get a responce. Whatever, i hope that you can snicker @ your computer for days on end saying "nobody knows that it's me who's saying this"

My guess is that it's the do nothings who are shitting on the people who actually TRY to do something interesting around here.

shit on the lollypop shoppe b/c it's lame to have a party where people dance to good music, shit on the blog because you couldn't possibly dedicate time to your day to anything other than sitting on your fucking thumb.

...i get it, you hate everything.

so hip.

yes, the shit your are talking about happens... AND people don't realize when what they are saying is a completely IDIOTIC point.

the same person bitching about how people who are mourning arthur lee are just trying to get indie cred is DOING THE EXACT SAME THING by trying to suggest that he/she knows the "real reason" that any of us listen to music.

so we're trying to look cool by talking about a musician we like who died, and you're trying to look even cooler by saying that 1/2 of us are full of shit.

congratulations, you are the smart one of the lot of us.

Is this the hippie that was pissed on the Syd Barrett comments? If so, he's cool. He probably smoked weed with Arthur Lee. If not, then that hippie needs to come back to tell this guy how many times he saw him play live and to fuck off. Whoever you are, I'm glad you like Love so much. Congratulations. He's still dead. I'm sure he was thinking of you as he passed.
