Now, normally, I would never petition for the Offspring to play F3F. For a band that I used to listen to and see live religiously, I've lost a tremendous amount of respect for these guys. As of late, they've gone down the joke-song rabbithole and show precious little desire to climb out. I've heard two tracks off their upcoming album thus far and both stink: the title track is a moldy bit of...

Anyone else here Pigface fans? I've been a hardcore fan of this band since I first heard "Notes From Thee Underground" back in high school. We used to cruise to "Fuck It Up" on a regular basis, mostly because it was one of the most offensive songs we could think of and it was super easy to sing along to. Over the years, I've watched them change styles with the times (they used to be the epitome...

Woohoo...today just got a whole lot better! Not only do I have the next five days off, but I now get to leave at 3PM today instead of 5...nice! This will be the first "vacation" I've had in some time, even though I won't be going out of town or doing anything particularly special. If all works as planned, I will be: going to a good friend's going-away party tonight (she moves to California on...

Just re-watched Howard Hawks' Rio Lobo for the first time since I was a kid. My parents always loved Westerns and, as a kid, I hated them with a passion (except for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...that one's always captivated me, for some reason). They would watch at least three or four (sometimes more) Westerns a week and they always bored me senseless. I especially detested John Wayne...

For some reason, I awoke today with a burning desire to listen to tons of Black Sabbath. Not sure why...I'm certainly not in a gloomy mood, but Sab just seems so right today. I've already burned through Vol. 4 (one of my fave albums of all time) and Master of Reality. Now, for a little variety, I'm blitzing through The Mob Rules. One thing is abundantly clear: for a time, Sabbath was truly the...

Just read how a rapper named 2 Chainz (never heard of the dude) was arrested at an airport because security mistook his four-finger ring for brass knuckles. This, my friends and neighbors, is why I always leave my four-finger ring at home...especially when I fly. How exactly would you go about explaining to security that it's actually jewelry and not a weapon? Hopefully, for this dude, it's...

Since I don't think they ever officially broke-up (at least, I don't think they did...pretty sure it's just one of those extended hiatus thingymaboppers), GvsB wouldn't even need to reunite for F3F: they'd just have to kick off the cobwebs and get to groovin'! This would be a damn fine "legacy" band for F3F to snag and would be a big feather in their cap. I never got to see them on the tour for...

There is literally zero hope in hell of either one of these happening but, if we're discussing dream lineups that don't involve dead people...how about Nailbomb or Fudge Tunnel at F3F? Needless to say, either one who decimate the Black Stage and pulverize half the city block. I would actually prefer Fudge Tunnel, but it's a short one-up over Nailbomb, in my book. FT, at least, has a larger...

While I'm thinking in an industrial-ish mindset, how about Reznor's How to Destroy Angels at F3F? I don't think they've played out that much, so it would definitely be a treat and I've always been obsessed with all things Reznor. I think this would go over gangbusters on the Blue Stage, although I suppose it could also go on Orange, if need be. Their EP is good, reminiscent of NIN in certain...

Not that they're even a shadow of their glorious '90s selves, but I kinda wouldn't mind have the Lords play on the Blue Stage. It would be a nice contrast from some of the groovier, more laid-back Blue Stage electronics and they undoubtedly can still bring the stage show, even if they might not really be able to bring the songs anymore. Their biggest problem nowadays is that they change lead...
