Metallica

At this point, the phrase "remember when Metallica was good?" has become a well-worn cliche. I know that I'm really not offering any original insight on the matter, so with that said, I ask, do you remember when Metallica was good?

Rediscovering This Blog

I just dredged up this blog that I created for a school project last semester. I think I'd like to keep it updated more regularly.



Here's a map of the route that I took on my walk this morning. It was a short walk, but I took some cool pictures. I also found a creepy little staircase that cuts right down through the sidewalk and drops you down on the street below.

April 25th at Gilman

This week we played two shows with Pulling Teeth (Baltimore) and Circles (Vancouver). The first show was Wednesday in Santa Cruz at the 418 Project. Having been home for only 36 hours at that point and having jumped headlong back into our work and school schedules, we were jet-lagged and beat up, but we pulled it off, I think.

The second home-coming show was on Friday at 924 Gilman. The Separation (heavy and political - Redding, CA), Pulling Teeth and Circles were awesome that night. Punch (frantic/hyperkinetic - San Francisco, CA) also played, and they blew me away. I'm usually not so impressed with bands that I just happen to see, without having heard before, but Punch really kills. I regret not seeing Conquest for Death's performance, but I really needed some fresh air and I had to step outside for a while.



Next show is at the Bike Kitchen!

Drew in Baltimore. Baltimore is the dirtiest, most decrepit city I've personally seen with my own eyes.



Paul got another Black Flag tattoo... in New Jersey. Yuck.

Kill Your Idols played their last show at the same place we played in Brooklyn. Kill Your Idols was one of the first hardcore bands I ever saw. Very cool.
