We had our place sprayed for bedbugs (that we don't have this time) yesterday so everything is in bags. . . debating whether to take shit out or not, since roomie claims they will come back in 2 weeks and do it again (I hope not.)
So that means my HD is somewhere in the plastic-wrapped bookshelves (that was fun) that are making this place look like the set of the shoot out Children of Men-- I would take a picture but the camera is somewhere behind the plastic, too.
So Youtubing stuff to listen to as I get all our clothes out of their bags-- they had to go through the dryer. I have already unsuccessfully tried to get myself to like hardcore. It won't work, I think. Couldn't go in the apartment all day yesterday and so was drinking at the bar while waiting to go to work with (in proximity, listening to) a guy from Agnostic Front, which inspired this effort. I dunno. I can't do it. "Anthem" is about as far as I'll get.
Clicked on a live Rancid vid-- Lars gives an incomprehensible motivating speech to kick it off that makes me feel better for not liking hardcore- got bored of watching Tim not play his instrument & went over to the album cut-- saw this comment "Rancid is duh best punk band 4ucking ever!!!!! Punkrock ftw!!!! XD" What does "4ucking" mean? Is it "fucking"? Is it a clever portmanteau: "for fucking"-- like they are the best bad for-fucking-ever? Does this kid feel bad about using the f-word on the internet? Am I just too old?

oh, Final You Tube link blocked in Japan...
I always think of Hardcore as punk, but faster. The stuff that sounds like metal, is just metal, right?
I hate Agnostic Front.
hahaha-- it was "parents just don't understand". . .
ugh yeah hardcore for me is too metal-- like thrashy. . . ? like madball. . . ? i guess? i dunno. all i know is it's too soupy & messy & noisy for me. i like melodies and anthems.
I don't know, I consider Dead Kennedy's hardcore...
Negative Approach, Minor Threat, the first Suicidal tendencies album?
I hate all that Mad Ball shit. Too macho.
Joe Queer said it best "Fuck all them bands on the warp tour, I got into punk because I hated them jocks"
That's an indirect quote, by the way.
haha, love indirect quotes.
yeah, actually, no problem with-- in fact, i like-- DK & Minor Threat etc. . . maybe i mean thrash punk (is that a thing?) or maybe hardcore has come to mean thrash? like agnostic front, madball, bloodclot, even sick of it all, blah blah blha-- NYHC stuff-- which is funny because it seems like being a skinhead in ny has nothing to do with all that oi! stuff. . . just being FREAKIN scary and listening to stuff that is pretty much jock-y, as you mentioned, metal. . . i hate all these labels, they make me confused.
i just felt bad cos we were talking to that guy and i was thinking, yeah. . . agnostic front. . . i don't like that kind of stuff. . .
actually, that oi! stuff is all about being scary and macho, too, but the music is more. . . sing-a-long-able.
Yeah. I know what you mean. Fuck em all, Buzzcocks or nothing.
I like Oi, but if I shave my head I look like a Maryland Cookie.
Anyway, I tell my Skinhead pals that Oi is just punk with shit lyrics. It really winds them up.
haha, and boy is it fun to wind those kids up.
are maryland cookies chocolate chip cookies?
gosh i hope i don't look like one of those-- i have the back of head poorly trimmed and waiting for someone to even it out for me, and i think i just look like a dyke. which as a girl, no matter how open minded i am, i never want to actually look like :]
I dunno B, the mental image of you looking all dyky is pretty funny to me :D
haha, well i got it trimmed up & evened out a little, but it still is sticking up at the top-- but i'm not cutting it any shorter cos it's fucking cold here.
so dyke it is. i give up. i'm gonna go put on a large boxy t-shirt with cats on it, jeans, and go teach a gym class.
