Jake was at the gym doing squats the day before. And trying to figure out how to operate his iPhone. You don't even own an iPhone.

You ever get any podcasts working? You never really talk about anything other than riding, your wife's boobs, or the shower at work. So I have no clue what your interests are outside a very limited scope. And frankly, we all assumed the bikes and boobs thing. So all I got is showers. I know nothing about shower-based podcasts.

Apprently love drunk just refuses to enter you brain and be retained. It does not surprise me that your brain rejects it.

I didn't focus on the podcast yet. If I had an iPhone, it would be easier since I could just download them online. With my iPod, it takes some level of effort to attach it to my comp at home and download something.

Outside of riding, boobs and showers, I am pretty boring. I do listen to music, however am stuck in stuff from like 10 years ago and I dont take the effort to find new bands to listen too. I also am reading a book right now, but considering I read 2 pages a day, I will not finish it for a long, long time. Overall though, riding related material is the most I have to talk about.
 
See now, I think you're just in a rut, which would explain the rut you seem to be describing in your riding habits. Or maybe not a rut. It's not a rut. It's not a tumor.

I mean, I was surprised that you jumped into the FF thing. I had no idea you liked sports. I figured you just went home and did your folk dance shit while thinking of ways to fix the shower at work. Granted I jumped in too and I haven't watched any football this year. But I do occasionally mention that I used to go to football games. Well, tailgates until we got kicked out of the parking lot.

I also know you're a vegetarian. But I'm sure any veggie podcasts will be so stupidly lame that you'd want to vomit after 3 minutes.

What was your major in school? Do you watch TV? What music are you stuck listening to? Music from 10 years ago was pretty crap wasn't it? Isn't that when the Incubus Ancestors were laying down the garbage foundation of today's music?

Perry Como?

Pretty much on the money.

In elementary school, I would follow my brother around when he skated. He listened to metal but the only thing that really stuck was metallica (master of puppets used to give me nightmares) but I stopped listening to them after in justice for all. He also listened to punk and DK and circle jerks stuck with me.

So naturally i skated and listened to punk throughout middle school. Towards the end of middle school, my bro was thrown into the klink for dealing drugs and some other bad shit for about a year and a half. Before that time he went rehab a few times, blah blah blah (this factors into later years). I remember when i was in 8th grade was when he got out. So for 1.5 years I saw that mofo every weekend.

So enter highschool, I always hung with the skaters and punks. Because of my drunk ass, drug dealing bro, I naturally made friends with the SXE guys. Enter NYC hardcore, youth of today, judge, gorilla biscuits, ie victory. So it just progressed from that point.

For whatever reason no jade tree, but alot of my friends were in to avail (if they were on that label then). Revelation before they weren't down the crapper, lots of victory before they went to all metal core, the NYC hardcore stuff, the SXE stuff and ofcourse equal vision, 108 was one of the best bands I ever saw live.

some snapcase for ya I saw them a lot, watching this brings back some memories....

I have mellowed over the years but bands like converge still make it on the play list. I have pretty much left any of the really low heavy stuff behind like overcast, integrity, earth crisis...you know the others. I started listening to emo stuff, but the old emo, not the current pop emo BS, what the hell happened there?

So current playlists:
i do like the post hardcore stuff, the faster/intense and some screamy singing so:

Thursday (more the older stuff)
Converge: Petitioning the Empty Sky, the new stuff is alittle crazy for me.
Snapcase on occasion
Older my chemical romance
Blink 182
Taking back sunday (for those whiny days)
DK on occasion
Hot Water Music (my son loves the one album)
Dead Milkmen on occasion (live from the troc)


other stuff I can't think of.

I was going to start one of these threads with what led me to this point in my life in regards to music, riding style, etc. Maybe this is the time. I already dropped the hint about my bro. That was a huge turning point.

I got a big lizard in my backyard... and you should see the way it shits.
 
A few years ago my wife and I went to a show in Asbury Park, she's into some of the music I like so it was a nice comprimise. The show was Papa Roach, Snapcase and Alien Ant Farm. I had listened to Snapcase for years so I said what the hell, lets go.

The crowd was entirely there for Papa Roach and AAF, but whatever. Like 3 songs into Snapcases set some girl flashes them her boobies. The singer stops the band in the middle of the song to give this girl a lecture about wondering if her dad is waiting out front to pick her up and that she should have a little more self respect for herself. They of course got boo'ed beyond belief but I thought it was a pretty cool thing that he did.

Note- Stb uses the term "hardcore" as a referance to a genre of music, not in a manner that you would see in a Mountain Dew commercial or some Extreme sports event, ie "that was hardcore". The two are often confused.
 
Walter

That is a great story. How the hell did snapcase get on the bill in the first place?

Thanks for the hardcore clarification. I usually call it punk to the unenlightened, because it just isnt worth the explanation.
 
I saw glassjaw at club krome like 10 years ago and some chick was crowd surfing and dudes were trying to rip her shirt off. Daryl stopped in the middle of the song and called the dudes out in front of everyone and they got kicked out. Pretty awesome way to get rid of a few meatheads.
 
maybe it's my hangover talking, but i didn't understand a word of anything i just read. especially the part about the lizard.

i skated in grade school and high school for awhile. i sucked though, so i stopped. i still roll around on my mike mcgill every now and then. pop a few ollies onto the curb. twist my ankle. fall down. i'll forever be indebted to jake burton for slapping straps on a skake deck. that soooo solved the problem of the skateboard falling off my feet.

anyway, i don't remember the music from the old videos but i know i liked it. but i was into metal and rap at that point. nwa, eazy-e, ice-t, beastie boys (pauls botique, still best ever)...then there was queensryche, megadeth, anthrax and to a lesser extent metallica. enter sandman pretty much ended metallica for me.

good god, i'm just not functional today. i tell ya, being off the sauce for over two weeks then jumping in with both feet ain't pretty.
 
Big lizard in my backyard was a song by the dead milkmen.

And you just don't like enter sandman because of Mariano Rivera. 😛

no, i don't like mariano rivera b/c he freakishly resembles eddie from iron maiden.
 
I have only met you once jake, but I didnt take you for a rap listening guy, beastie boys, or, that other stuff, whoa now.

Now if this stuff seems foreign to you, just think what Norm felt when he read it!

That is also one of the reasons I never mention that stuff on here, for 95% of the people, they just have no idea.

i don't listen to much of that any more. kinda listen to whatever is on the radio but that's all re-hashed shit. i wish WSOU was still the way it used to be, all progressive and awesome. i don't even know if it's on the air anymore.

anyway, yeah so the beasties, yes, fo' sho. that late 80s rap was 1/2 decent but it's more the 90s stuff (before glam-rap) that i listen to. even still: dre, ice-cube, snoop and a few others. i also dig eminem. that dude, as f'd as he is, is a genius. of course there's the usual mix of mid-90s grunge with pearl jam, nirvana, STP...then sublime, chili peppers, smashing pumpkins. metal still finds it's way in but i'm hardly a 'hard core' guy. i prolly listen to as much jimmy buffett as anything else. people either love him or hate him.

I was feeling you up until that last line (not that I listen to the junk you mentioned, but understood). What the hell is with people and jimmy buffet?
 
I never understood peoples obsessions with Jimmy Buffet, Tom Jones, Roy Orbison or the others that fall into that "Vegas Showman" catagory. I was watching the evening news the other day and they had a piece on Tom Jones, and I never had any idea that those songs that make my ears bleed everytime I step into a local bar are like 50 years old. However I do understand people like what they like so whatevs.

My wife and I went ot see Tom Petty about a month ago and he alerted people that he was "going to play 3 new songs, then we will get back to the good stuff" A friend of mine also told me that the founding 4 metal bands, (Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth) are now playing shows where they play entire classic albums and not much more.

I have no idea where I am going with this, I just dont want to start ripping down the sheet rock thats waiting for me.
 
Jimmy Buffet sucks.

The word "hardcore" and Blink 182 should never be used in the same post unless the word "not" and an expletive complement it. I'm not busting balls when I say this but Blink 182 and Incubus are like the same band as far as I know.

I'm vaguely familiar with some of the other bands, but none of them ever did anything for me. I really didn't hear much talent in any of that stuff. It was more like cat noise to me.

A lot of my older stuff is what Jake outlined, though never cared for Ice Cube. Smashing Pumpkins was a 1 album wonder for me. Loved the first and thought everything after that sucked. Not that I haven't said it many times before but Jane's was always at the top of that list. NIN, Ministry, etc also in there. The Replacements, Fishbone, Primus.

Now I'm all over, though I've had a resurgence of Jane's in the past few months.
 
you are correct about the blink 182, i just think I was attracted to them by their immature humor and fast tempo's. Nothing even remotely hardcore about them.

I did listen to fishbone some where in there. I may have read you a tad wrong, probably because of Phish and RHCP (although I did listen to the RHCP in 8th grade).
 
im so in the dark with what music falls into what catagory....I love nofx, operation ivy, bad religion, social d, pennywise, some rancid....I call that punk...Blink 182 to me might have been punk on their first album, but following that, no. Same with greenday although I think they had some decent albums into the 90's.

Nofx has to be one of my favorites as im usually laughing my ass off at the lyrics.

Luke introduced me to physco-billy which can be pretty good.

+1 on jimmy buffet sucking....and im trying to picture Norm rocking out to NIN, then switching to his phish albums 🙂
