I got a ticket for turning on a red at a no turns on red intersection, totally my fault, and I'm paying the fine and taking the traffic school option to keep it off my insurance and there is an online traffic school called Five Dollar Traffic School and it's literally $5, and while, like that's cool, what is the actual point of this weird traffic school system?
It's possible for two things to be true at the same time. These fires can be man-made and also made worse by climate change. You don't have to pick one. If you have worked anywhere near law enforcement or fire departments, you know that the fire bugs get very excited when Santa Ana winds are on the way. This is why convicted arsonists have to register, just as sex offenders do. It's not crazy or climate change denial to think arson may be the cause of some of these fires.
So at least three times recently, my Uber drivers have been "listening" to Reddit stories. It's weird, but apparently a thing? How widespread is this? Speaking of Uber, I'm always thinking of what I would do as a driver, and the most obvious thing is to ask a passenger what they want to listen to. But in my hundreds of rides, this has happened maybe twice. What gives?
Anyways....
What label has the best catalog numbering system? Some labels are lame in this regard, like Lookout! and Recess, who both use the basic # method. At least Fat Wreck Chords puts "FAT" as prefix. ALternative Tentacles is pretty rad with VIRUS, but I think the winner is Earache, with MOSH. What are some others?
Anyways, I made this comp during COVID lockdowns. It's just been sitting on my desktop because I was trying to think of an album cover to represent San Diego, and then I completely forgot about it. I decided to go with the Meth Tank.
All San Diego County bands. The caveats for any mp3 mix apply - various bit rates, various quality, sound levels may vary greatly. I may have a few more of these coming up as a clear my computer.
Adam Gopnik, my man, what planet are you living on?
“And so Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder and a young mother, is sentenced to eleven years, and Sam Bankman-Fried, the FTX founder, gets a quarter century—in both cases for nonviolent crimes that caused harm but not physical injury. In the first instance, the financial victims were chiefly people like Rupert Murdoch and Betsy DeVos, who should have known better, and, in the second, nobody appears to have been left poorer at all. Their reckless and illegal conduct calls for sanction and penalties, but people will entrust neither with their money again.”
Once freed, they will both amass new fortunes from people who entrust them with their money. There is no surer bet. It's the American Way.
Anyways...
No, it's not that Still Life. Or that Still Life. This Still Life was an early 80's UK synth driven new wave band that released three EPs and that was that. They opened for Culture Club, and looked to be on their way to success, and then, poof. It's definitely of it's era, but well done.
Post punk art rock from Seattle. Kind of a Pixies loud/quiet/loud mixed with some Sonic Youth weirdness.
This sounds a bit more like later Super Hi-Five, especially in the vocals. I don't know anything about Sacface, and from what I can tell, these two songs are the beginning and the end of their recorded output.
Hey look, they still have an Angelfire site!
