2 weeks apparently

I just read an interview with markey, like, last week about this, c/r where it was

oh here it is

http://www.viceland.com/blogs/en/2011/05/20/rettsounds-reality-86d/

that ibanez he played during that period sounded horrible

Forgive me if this has been posted elsewhere, nothing came up on search.

Black Face - Dukowski teams up with Eugene Robinson to play some unreleased Chuck-written BF material and choice Flag tunes, Ginn nearly involved at one point, I'm excited!

Eugene posted this on the Supersonic FB page yesterday. I'm hoping there's a reason why.

So Kira won an oscar for sound mixing Mad Max last night. I had no idea:

I just saw that picture being used in an ad for Vans shoes the other day. Maybe this is also part of that campaign.

of course it is

Just performing my dirty duty as a consumer

anyway reason i was searching for rollins is bc i was wondering if anyone has more info on this

According to Rolling Stone magazine, after Cole's death, hundreds of hours of interviews Cole had taped with "flamboyant street characters" in Venice Beach were edited into an hour of "primo footage" that the magazine described as "an unflinching look at the American dream gone amok."

rly interested in listening to those interviews by joe cole but cldnt find anything on the web

search 'god's movie'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhGxVfh9lag

from the vid description

A few segments from Joe Cole's "God's Movie", an unfinished documentary series documenting the street people of Venice Beach. This was shot in 1990 by Joe and myself, and I help out with the some of the interviews. This was originally released in a longer form as "God's Movie Volume 1" on VHS by Henry Rollins' 2-13-61, and has been long out of print. I am more than glad to share a few moments of this work with you here. Joe was shot and killed in a robbery a little more than a year after this. I miss him to this day and it is great to hear his voice here. If you like this I suggest searching for "How Much Longer" posted on Google Video, a video documentary I did with Joe all about the Desert Storm Victory Parade in Hollywood, 1991.

Amazing anecdote on the newest Henry & Heidi podcast about Hank being pressed into service by Sharon Osbourne at the famous Sabbath reunion gigs.

She asked him to help with an EPK and interview people backstage, so he goes over to interview Brian May and after they film the segment May says to him "by the way, I just want you to know, Freddie loved Black Flag"!!!!

Bullshit

I see "Black Flag" is playing in Baltimore in August. Is this Greg Ginn and 3 to 4 others? There's a mention of "First 4 years" 1983 comp that included pre-Henry stuff , on the Ottobar website. Will that be the musical focus?

Black Flag’s 2024 lineup consists of founding guitarist Greg Ginn, singer Mike Vallely, who first appeared with the band as a guest in 2003 and became the band’s fifth vocalist in 2014,

and a rhythm section of Harley Duggan and Charles Wiley (both from Seattle band DARKHORSE RISING).

That would be a nice subtle bit of graffiti if someone added quotation marks on the posters for that show.

I've seen some youtube footage of recent Black Flag, and I would steer pretty clear of that tbh

Gonna skip it.

EVERYONE SHOULD LSITEN TO RAY PETTIBONE'S NEW BAND ITS SO GOOD

https://surdrone.bandcamp.com/album/full-length-2

sitting at the bar at a restaurant near my neighborhood and it’s crowded on a monday. realize the music venue across the street has the Black Flag (“black flag”?) show in an hour and, outside of two tables of people obviously going to it, I am trying to puzzle out the rest of the people in here

are the dudes in their 50s waiting around in the entryway here for the band? is there another event nearby? a mystery

I wrote about why the final Black Flag albums are the best Black Flag albums. (No, I don't mean that 2013 thing.)

I really enjoyed that write-up, thanks. I agree, those are the albums I'm most drawn to (though I'd really like Ginn to fuck off so these could be properly reissued so I could have copies of my own).

SST has been doing a fairly ok job of repressing its wares of late, tbh

Yeah, I see they have some of this stuff available, but honestly not sure I want to give him money directly at this point.

Understood, and agreed!

For now I've just been scouring the used bins constantly for old SST stuff.

the new pressings are terrible, avoid at all costs

in other news BF is playing in my town soon, lol

Great article! I didn't know that Who's Got the 10 1/2 was Rollins' favorite BF album. I agree with him.

yeah even though I am definitely in the "five-piece band was best" camp, I enjoyed that

10 1/2 is great, that extended Slip It In/Gimme Gimme Gimme is a blast (though Rollins was pretty shitty to Kira back then, and had some real nasty anti-Kira spiels when they played it after she left the group).

I'm curious if anyone here ever saw the five-piece band live and then saw any of the later lineups and how they compared

I admit I’d still love to hear the 5 piece line up on the My War
-and-after material, live and studio; admittedly it would have created an even bigger divide between the pre and post-Damaged era but in terms of laying down an even bigger marker for what was happening then and after with crossover and general punk/metal hybrids, those albums could have been a huge(r) deal

xp

they look more hyper there than the later lineups I saw

I knew there was a risk of this happening when I wrote the piece, but... someone just left a pro-Mojack comment.

loooool

10 1/2 was my jam in high school, I hadn't listened in a loooong time, I was a little worried it wouldn't have aged well for me (despite loving the later BF LPs), but it is still great and it answers that most mysterious musical query "what if Jim Dandy fronted King Crimson?"

The 1984 Marquee show was the one I saw and later listened to more than any other live set by anybody. I think there is a version in circulation, I saw it on Dime a few years ago. Not sure if it's the same recording I had on cassette for years. I think its great.
I always heard something in it that reminded me of Link Wray that I didn't hear as much elsewhere.

There was also a live video filmed in Leeds the night after I saw them.

Which I think was officially released.

Catches them at a stage of development I love.
Do wish SST would remaster all of their material.

I think the end of 1983 demos with the same material played by the band still containing Dukowski and Cadena were a fixture on Dime for years.

Ginn literally does not give a single shit about his legacy
