  1. He did a lot of construction jobs but nobody ever said he was GOOD at them haha

    Sherri did want to get her back fixed but they said she didn't have the money for the operation. I doubt she would have looked a gift horse in the mouth. Really I don't care how much rope they gave her, they didn't have to fire her. It was inhumane under the circumstances, and look what happened.

  2. Hey, here's the missing cover from that comp! It's Nasum doing "Tools of the Trade". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krthZP_Yn9Q&pp=ygUYbmFzdW0gdG9vbHMgb2YgdGhlIHRyYWRl

    Also, here's that Type O grind covers comp if anyone's interested. https://783punx.bandcamp.com/album/v-a-blast-no-1-blastbeat-tribute-to-type-o-negative My antipathy to Steele's band is enormous (Carnivore far less so, but they still draw my ire some) but this looks interestingly bizarre. Hellbastard are pretty legendary; the only other bands I've heard of are Assur and Plague Bearer. The very concept of a grind band playing a seven minute song is pretty fucking out-there.

  3. I STILL haven't finished watching the whole show, and even put it right next to the computer to visually shame myself last night, but no dice. I did watch an NJPW 10-man and a Mayumi Ozaki match from 2024 however. He would approve.

    I have tomorrow off work so there are no more excuses.

  4. I just could never get into Armored Saint. Had a friend who swore by Symbol though, and I never gave it a try so I will. Bush is a fine singer but almost too fine a singer, if that makes any sense? Anthrax is horrible too so he made probably a good choice for his wallet but an awful one musically. 

    Savatage is a similar band that are kinda standard sounding and it took awhile to get into that I like better, but instead had a bad singer that hurt them. 

  5. Nice, I forgot about that, gonna have to listen to it again. 

    Goregrind has made up a huge chunk of my listening for about a year by now. All the Dead Infection and Regurgitate reissues, and awesome new bands like Pharmacist, Sick Sinus Syndrome, Miasmatic Necrosis, Hemorrhoid, Vomi Noir... 

  6. I loved the part with Inoki shadowboxing there, egging him on. Hoshino was always a highlight on the '80s set. He was kind of the Kikuchi of NJPW in those days, little fireplug of a wrestler. 

    Re: Fujiwara

    Spoiler

    I really dug his elimination with the pin being right up by the ropes, and he sticks his feet in right as the ref's hand falls for the third time. It looks like a last-second break-up but no. And of course the Inoki/Maeda double elimination, that had to happen, there's no way either guy would be going down any other way. 

    If they really wanted to get Mutoh over they would have had him eliminate Fujinami somehow but then fall to Choshu. A little too early for that I guess. 

     

  7. I just set up to record A Face in the Crowd and, right after it, Ace in the Hole. Both of those are mentioned a ton on the Criterion closet videos. I expect them to be a brutal one-two punch of cynicism that are very very close in context to the modern day no matter how old they are. 

    Synecdoche, New York is on next week and I set that up too.
