Sharing the Hate, Spreading the Pain: On Firearms

Posted by LeoCain on October 18th, 2007

Many bands have two approaches to booking a show. Through these two approaches, there are failures and there are triumphs. One technique is almost guaranteed to burn you out, and one technique is almost guaranteed to bum you out. With those odds, one might not want to book a show at all. However, let us assume you do want to book shows, and you want to choose the technique that is best for you. Metaphorically, these two approaches are best compared to a shotgun and a rifle. (more…)

Jason Milsner awoke to a trembling, mind numbing,sweaty world. He tasted blood in his mouth and for a moment was sure that he was still in his dream but then he realized his arm and mouth were aching. He looked down and saw that he had bitten so hard into his arm to wake himself up that he had nearly torn the skin off. (more…)

Why we chose:
Back in the day, I wanted a Gallery Billiards episode featuring the bands from Bradenton and Sarasota. Pushmower couldn’t make the meet and greet, so I told them I’d interview them in early September for an October episode. I found out about this show the week leading into it, and I had nothing better to do on Labor Day. After lining up Pushmower and Code Zero everyone else just sorta fell into place. I guess that fact is the bi-product of one shared central dressing room located down a Spinal Tap hallway of twists and turns.

Scribed by Jason Firestone.

What do Hitler, Metallica, and Coca-Cola all have in common? You’ve heard of them! Musicians: does it seem like no one knows who you are (or even care)? Most likely that’s because it’s true. You need to step up your pathetic promotional approach by constantly wearing the promotion on your sleeve. So you have a grindcore band called (more…)

On occasion I have been known to act much like a hermit crab and hide inside my little apartment all by myself, with the lights out, perfectly content with doing nothing. Every now and then a little glimmer of happiness will appear via the mailbox and to my surprise the Netflix DVD I ordered will arrive. The addition of a movie or television series I have been anticipating greatly enhances my likelihood to be a hermit crab and enhances the quality of my hermit-like behavior. At that point I am able to live as a hermit but experience life vicariously through the PS2 and television which enables me to view the DVDs. Ah yes, at that point, life is grand.

One such night occurred recently and I found myself cuddled under a blanket watching (more…)
