I remember that Jesuit show… I may still have the bruises. The great thing about that place is that it was basically setup like house shows in a living room. Did you ever play the Pickle Patch in Santa Barbara? Used to just drive up there and then just crash on the floor after the show.
the pickle patch was great. we played there twice i think? Mike Phyte was living there at the time. The first time i ever swam in the pacific ocean was when we played there.

We need some Mike Cheese stories… Always...
The night of that show i handed the promoter the guest list. All it said was "Gehenna".
Promoter: Um, Mike Cheese is sort of not allowed here. He beat someone bloody the last time he came here.
Me: Ok. Well he's already on his way, so you can tell him when he gets here.
Promoter: fuck.
Cheese shows up and just looks at the promoter and says "I'M FUCKING GOING IN."
that show definitely got real wild. If i remember correctly a chair got thrown threw a window? me and cheese were punching each other all night for some stupid reason. he can hit really hard. bad idea. we also kept tackling each other during our set and i broke the headstock on my les paul.

Yeah, seriously, if anyone here is interested in learning what it's all about, apply immediately to shadow/apprentice Mike Cheese. "I am NOT fucking around!" He's the ultimate litmus test. A lot of people like to talk about how they miss "hardcore and punk being dangerous." Mike Cheese exposes these people as to their truthfulness in that statement.
Eli - I think that Nagoya City comp sold out. He didn't make too many of them. I haven't played it yet, but will report back.
Other new/current shit I'm feeling: VACCINE (pissed, anti-human sXe) and POLLUTION (NYC).

New Confines is deadly.

Gehenna are doing a few euro dates and oddly (given how weak the scene is here) they are playing Glasgow. I'll probably drag myself down for that…
Coke Bust are playing next week, not really feeling them to be honest but think it will be decent live. (Plus I need a COKE BUST shirt to rock in my squash matches.) Gave up on that flavour of fast core stuff with the lifes halt/whn? wave of "bandana" thrash. I need to hunt down the pictures of the WHN show here which was in a practice room and had a kind low turn out, show was super fun though as most of it featured the (small) singer dude totally handing my ass to me by doing back breakers and other weird wrestling moves on me. I caught on pretty quick that it wouldn't hurt if I just went along with it...

the australian band Carpathian has a song called Ironheart that their singer Martin named after his favorite pair of jeans.
he is also opening a denim shop.

Noticed the Endpoint flier immediately and made me think of this:
-
i dont know who that is, but anyone with a giant endpoint tattoo is probably someone i dont need to hang with.

Be happy you don't know who it is.
@stever:slaying some extortion and some trash talk at the gym this evening. feels great
Hope it was plagues or the self titled, because their most recent album was a total shitfest.

@riffblaster:
here are some basic classic albums that i cant imagine anyone would disagree about.
Bad Brains - Roir Sessions and Rock for Light
Black Flag - Damaged and My War
Cro Mags - Age of Quarrel
Minor Threat - everything
Poison Idea - Pick Your King
Misfits - Earth AD and Walk Among Usthere are a thousand others i could name that some could argue as more important or influential but these albums are at least a good starting point for early hardcore, and could be considered the basis that most modern hardcore spawned from.
Age Of Quarrel is flawless imo.

YES!
