Current mood:  melancholy
I don't usually give too much of a shit about too much, but when I heard Lux Interior, lead singer of the Cramps, died yesterday, that made me feel pretty bad.
The Cramps were last here in St Louis MO over at Pops 3?? years ago on a Memorial Day Sunday night I believe.
I saw them 3 times or so overall, and they always seemed like the kind of band who would just keep going forever, and that they would eventually come back to St Louis again.
Along with thousands of others, I've been a huge Cramps fan since I first heard them way back in about 1980, when they played them on a local college radio station, 89.5 KCFV. The Cramps gave psychobilly its name, even though I believe Lux shrugged that label off.
Lux was such a rocknroll wildman. You knew he was trippin balls up there cavorting around on stage.
The Cramps are one of those bands who are always on my brain's inner radar, my brain's constant playlist. A Cramps song can pop up in my mind at any time. And it happens often. Not even necessarily my favorite Cramps' songs either. More like lesser known songs. "Don't eat stuff off the sidewalk" and "I can't find my mind" are a couple. More famous songs like "Can your pussy do the dog" and "Goo Goo Muck" "Do the dead(the Surfin Dead)" and the Hasil Atkins classic "She Said" are in there too of course.
In 1998 when I was the drummer for the Creepers, Goo Goo Muck was always in our setlist and is the first song I ever learned on the drums. I still play "She Said" in my sets when I DJ.
Back in 1997, I was getting divorced. I was trying to not get divorced. I had just went back to college, 5 hours a night 3 nights a week and of course worked full time. It was about to be my first Thanksgiving with no wife or kids. I was not having a good time.
So the Cramps played in St. Louis MO at Mississippi Nights that Wednesday night before thanksgiving, so that's probably November 26, 1997.
I was like hell yea I'll go down there and release some frustrations......
Ramonesy Japs Guitar Wolf opened along with this other band who I cannot remember the name of; two chicks and a skinny guy all in coconut bikini tops, and the drummer chick was using these super huge drumsticks.
Ingesting some "right frame of mind for the Cramps" on the way there, I was stoked by the time the Cramps came out in front of the packed Mississippi Nights crowd, probably 1200, cuz thats its capacity. The dance floor was packed and the Cramps came out and rocked it, but every time anyone would start to slamdance or move around, a BnD Security bouncer would jump in and stop them, threatening to throw anybody out who tried to start a pit.
Well this sucked.
So Lux and Poison Ivy are up there kickin ass but to no crowd action.
Finally, he stops for a minute, surveys the crowd, leans over the first few rows and goes.......
Wellllllllllllll Everybodys heard........ about the bird.......................
bird bird bird bird is the word.......
they launched into the Trashmen classic, Surfin Bird and played it as fast as the Ramones played it live......
And the place exploded. The bouncers got the fuck outta there. Bam!!!! The whole floor was a massive punk rock thrash pit from there on out...........
fuck yea...... That dude knew how to work it!!!
So thats one of those moments thats always on the tip of my mind, inspiring me forever......
I feel like a personal friend has died. At least we know he had a good time while he was here. Lux is definitely gonna be inside my head as long as my brain is alive......

Current mood:  fermented
Yea so I turned on Lost at 9pm last night on channel 12 then accidentally hit the up button and went to 13 and Hawaii Five-0 was on........ and there were so many commercials on Lost I went back to 13 and it turned out to be a Hawaii Five-0 LSD episode. Yay! I've seen the Dragnet LSD episode but I dont recall one on Hawaii Five-0...... Its called "uptight".
So theres this professor who gets kicked out of some college for turning on students so he takes up residency in a little bungalow on the beach in Hawaii. pretty sweet. So apparently he has all these "research chemicals" and gives them to hot chicks and leads them on "guarded" trips......... so one chick gets all fucked up and dives off a 300 foot cliff into the ocean and dies. So McGarrett is called onto the scene to investigate and he finds this Professor Stone...... Stone is like damn dude she was just trying to find herself...... So the dead chicks super hot best friend is questioned and shes also like well you know its all about your inner self and stuff....... Oh yea and BTW Prof Stone only gives out the drups; he doesn't take them. So DANO(as in Book'em Dano), McGarret's awesome assistant goes undercover and acts like hes down with the hippies and meets up with the dead chicks friend on the beach; she's like yer cute lets do it and oh btw want some shrooms??? He of course pusses out but he does let her take him home. After that she eats some acid and rides her little motorcycle, totally trippin they show the ORANGE cloud she is seeing very much like in the movie, "The Trip" She of course crashes the bike and wakes up in a mental hospital. Theres at least 10 other chicks in the mental ward and they are totally permanently freaked out. Freaked out on Acid....... They are all doing weird things in their beds... Quite funny....... So she apparently learned her lesson and agrees to cooperate with McGarrett to get Stone.......... Meanwhile the dead chicks dad tracks down Stone and threatens to shoot him. Stone tells him the daughter was finding love. So the dad says OK lets find the love, lets have some pills. Stone has some right there in his pocket and offers them to the dad saying yea lets find love...... So the dad is like fuck you Im not eating them, you are......... Then he makes Stone eat at least 4 of the psychedelic pills, which of course he never usually eats and tells the dad hey I dont need these but he makes him eat them anyway...... Then Stone starts totally trippin out and sees the Orange cloud........... He knocks the dad down, takes the gun and runs off into the jungle......... totally trippin. He comes across a cemetery and staggers around all trippin and hugging gravestones........ Finally he goes to the cliff where the dead chick died and hes gonna jump too. But of course McGarrett catches up and Stone is like Im going on the only great adventure I have left......... but Dano and McGarrett stop him and its all over, and drups are bad.
pretty righteous.........
Yea anyway the guy who plays Dano is also a main character in teh movie The Love-ins, which is about a Timothy Leary type guru who turns on lots of people in San Fran and Dano is one of his disciples, and pretty much right hand man who sees the light and eventually crusades against the LSD'ers......... then he shoots the guru........
yup Drups r badddd.........

Since I am still not motivated to post on FER....... I have decided to write about some particularly memorable punk rock moments I have experienced.
We'll start with....... Way back in like about 1989 or 90 maybe Agmostic Front was playing at 1227, the place later known as theGalaxy...... Back before I was called GGJim and was usually referred to as SickBoy(referencing the GBH song) I have a tendency to stray from the subject and start explaining side notes and background(kinda like this past sentence..). But I will try to remain focused. Ultraman, my all time favorite St Louis punk band was opening. Back then Agnostic Front would draw all manner of punks, metalheads and nazis. So after Ultraman played, their front man Tim Jamison got into a fight with this guy named Chris Lewis, Now Chris was a guy many regarded as a serious nazi. I won't speculate whether he was or not, but Chris and his buddies were pretty fairly known as having quite a rivalry with local Anti-nazi punks and SHARPS. I personally never had a problem with Chris and he was always cool to me and I even partied at his house(thats a whole 'nother story ;) So Agnostic Front is rocking out, and on the ground to the right of the stage there is Tim and Chris grappling and definitely trying to beat the shit out of each other. Both guys are totally red in the face and rolling around on the ground. No one dared even try to break it up. So this chick, whose name somehow escapes me at the moment, (She worked at Vintage Vinyl when it was a tiny store on Delmar, maybe where Altered Skates later was or is. She was a hot punk chick and at some point showed up in a wedding dress with Tim Jamison at some show at Mississippi Nights, thus everyone for quite awhile thought they were married.) Anyway so she got a beer bottle and was hoveirng over the fight trying to get a chance to break the bottle over Chris Lewis' head. She was about to strike, and it looked pretty much like she was probably going to accidentally hit Tim, so when her hand went in the air with the bottle, I reached out and snagged it. Then the fight ended, I dont think either really won. Chris was an interesting person and I'll probably write some more great STL Punk moments about him as well as Tim Jamison.
So yeah, Tim, I saved you from getting brained with a bottle. ha.

Current mood:  aggravated
I'm too fuckin lazy these days to post much on forcedentryrecords.com. I need more motivation. I have a brand new hottie F.E.R. Queen Of Vibe, Beonnicca. She has definitely provided a spark.
So maybe I'll try this blog. Blogs are usually dumb. My F.E.R. website gets me pussy. Plenty........... Some people evidently got my first blog wrong. I get plenty pussy. I'm only experimenting with this myspace blog to see if it will pile more on.
So let's see what happens with dumb myspace blogs.
