^Yes.

ya know, joes actually right, your being from waukee is kind of an affront to me on a personal level, nick How so? It's not like I have Waukee pride or some shit. That's where my parents lived when I was in middle school/high school. I got over that place quick after I graduated. Still have a few f...

Truth. So many good punk bands out of Chicago that are underrated. Naked Raygun, Apocalyspe Hoboken, The Effigies, Articles of Faith (brutally underrated), 88 Fingers Louie, The Bollweevils.

WTF? Was that a young Jeff Daniels I spotted in that video?

A cop stuck at a desk is a pretty boring life. All we got is our stories.

the list of things i have done that can be conceived as shitty is long and numerous. lets us start young. when i was 2 i wanted to teach this kitten to swim. so i took it to a hole in the yard, filled it with water, and held the kitten in. now im 2 and i dont know anything about breathing and shit....

You win Tampa Josh. You seem to take this a little more seriously than me. That's cool. I'm not ever going to get too worked up about Africa. I'm just trying to say the problems some African countries face aren't a sole consequence of their own actions. Same could be said about just about every coun...

I think my first "punk" show was in like late '96 or early '97 at the Safari (I was 16 at the time). It was Suicide Machines + Apocalyspe Hoboken. I was pretty big into both bands at the time. It wasn't too long after "Destruction By Definition" came out. That was still probably ...

When I lived in DSM I rarely went to the bars I actually liked because my friends never wanted to leave the suburbs. This is how it used to be for me as well. I always seemed to spend most of my time with my friends at The Pub in Waukee, which sucked hard. Now I rarely go to bars, but if I do, it i...

It's not bad for a hipster bar. Good jukebox anyway. Nice pool tables and real dartboards are always key.

A guy that my girlfriend went to school with co-owns the place.

Get over your white guilt and stop blaming the fucking Europeans dude. Read the last sentence in my initial post. I'm not placing all the blame on Europe. They simply laid the groundwork, the nations/tribes or whatever, have been fighting since. I will say that a lot of the wars and geoncide in Afr...

Africa is Africa's biggest problem. True. But a lot of those problems can be attributed to the atrocities that were a result of Europe's "conquest" of Africa in the early 1800's (England, Holland, France, Spain, Germany, Portugal, etc.) which resulted in massive apartheid and fragmentatio...

Have footage of SNFU playing Hairy Mary's in '99? Man, this is a show i'm so pissed i missed.......and i think it was because of a girl. Heard they wouldn't play "The Bomb" though. Joni Mitchell Tapes? I'm pretty sure I remember them playing "Joni Mitchell Tapes." I know off tha...

Yup Lanny is there every Friday and KungFu on Sundays. I don't know it's a toss up. GTs is OK but I always feel like I'm going to bump into someone. KungFu is better laid out and they have the covered patio. Lately one of my favorites is Cooney's. The Heman Woman Haters Club was meeting up there fo...

I would like to see that. I had to work that night and missed it. SNFI is a great and forgotten band.

It was a good show. Probably only about 30 people there. I played a game of pinball with Mr. Chi Pig.

Mine is GTs. Don't make it there as much as I'd like though. Annie and Mike rule. As does Lanny. Does he still work there?

What's yours?

The Copyrights - "Learn The Hard Way" LP (Gatefold, white a-side, light blue b-side, /500)

Do you think I actually listened to it? -Joe. Actually, no, I wouldn't expect you to listen to it if you don't have any interest in going to the show to begin with. What I do expect (from the short time I've spent on this messageboard) is for you to slag on shows or bands you don't like. So your co...

Didn't figure you'd like it, but I hope others do.

Thom wrote:You sure have a lot of time to put up records I will never download for a cop.

That's what happens when you get moved from patrol duty to a desk job. Lots of time to fuck around on the internet.

Forgot to respond to that! We probably can. Whatever. I'll ask the boys. I hope this happens. I've never seen you guys play before, but have nothing but good things. The songs on your MySpace rule too. Also...on subject...what did those pirates think was going to happen to them when there were 3 of...

So The Manix e.p. that I ordered arrived yesterday and I ripped it. Here it is for you to check out. I guess they also have a split 7" with Amen and the Hell Yeahs out as well. I'm trying to find a copy of that. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n8/nmeurer80/TheManix.jpg The Manix - "Stay...

I have a membership to the Des Moines Metro YMCAs too. I work out at the Ankeny Y. It is full of yuppies, hot underage chicks, soccer moms and high school dudes who look at themselves in the mirror after every 20 reps. Nice facility though. They share shit with the high school, so the weight machine...

I assume the new record is gonna have a nice budget for production and it will sound stellar. I am guessing that Fat is going to want them to tour like crazy though (as they ...something they have never really done before. That should rule.

HOLY FUCK BANNER PILOT JUST SIGNED TO FAT WRECK CHORDS Yeah. I was pretty floored when this was announced yesterday on the Fat Wreck website. Talk about timing in booking this show, huh servo? I hope they don't expect some sort of guarantee now. But honestly, those dudes are so down to earth, money...

Being a black man with Vitiligo has to be a bitch.

Josh wrote:i dig that gateway district 7" but live i think they are kinda boring.

You heard any of the new songs? They added a second guitarist, who is female, so they have a second female vocalist that works well with Maren's smokey/gritty voice. Shit sounds good.

cam upped that gateway district 7" lemme see if i can find it http://www.mediafire.com/?meime5y2ljg Nice....that 7" rules. I just ordered the new Manix album this morning, so I should have that next week sometime I assume? I'll upload that when I get it. Thanks for all your help on this, ...
