I also lost my hair stylist this weekend, but she was kind of rude and pompous anyway.

Man, I hope this works out.
But shit, this is Albuquerque. Hold a family at gunpoint and be let out the same week.
Why should I be locked up just for being a little crazy over the weekend and engaging in DEVIANT COMMUNICATION. (That's actually just my term but echoes of discussions about linguistics classes.)

Mostly alright. I will be alright as long as the authorities don't fuck with me.
They should really worry more about drug addicts breaking into people's homes and attacking them with wooden crosses:
ok what the fuck happened to that story? Censored? Maybe they gave out more info. than they should have.
This kind of stuff tends to happen in my neighborhood but not necessarily my block.
Somewhat of a tradition to post long drunken series of posts.

I'm still on my first mixed drink. Just zero tolerance at this point and the elevation probably doesn't help.

I'm fucking between San Mateo and San Pedro (east-west) and Zuni and Central (north-south). Now go map where crazy things happen. Not far from there, I assure you.

lock thread
so far off from the topic of butthole surfers and moved to a place of free association
if this is a veiled cry for help, i hope you can be alright man
― kolakube (Ross), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 06:58 (six years ago) link
Oh, for pete's sake. No veiled cry for help. Thanks for your concern. Moving elsewhere.
If you don't think Azar Habib's songs are a little bit coterminous with the aesthetic of the Butthole Surfers, you haven't got ears.
Plus it's a Butthole Surfers thread.

The Butthole Surfers thread is too chaotic! Shut it down!

You have not lived until you've read Kramer's in-depth story of the Butthole Surfers and Norway (in toto). Third of the three questions here:
https://believermag.com/logger/three-questions-for-kramer/
“He has told me that he has all ten of your records.”“We only have two. Believe me.”“Well, then maybe he is now dreaming. The Swedes are big dreamers."
“We only have two. Believe me.”
“Well, then maybe he is now dreaming. The Swedes are big dreamers."

Incredible. There needs to be a book.
All 3 answers were just fantastic. I have had to revise my near life long idea of what Daevid Allen was really like.
But that Stavanger gig, OMG!
Thanks for the link.

As good a time as any to note that there's a Kickstarter for a documentary happening -- already reached its goal and seven days to go, seems like it'll be good fare based on the people behind it:

I just had a good look at the images of the vinyl, and it looks the the record covers all have a logo in the upper left hand corner now?
I just cancelled my order, these seemed like a good deal but not if they're messing around with the music and art.
― Cow_Art, Thursday, 8 February 2024 20:17 (two months ago) link
I think that's just a sticker maybe?
― StanM, Friday, 9 February 2024 03:26 (two months ago) link
I assumed that at first, but since when do they show stickers on the mockups with the record coming out of it?
Maybe it is, but messing with the music is my main problem with it. Part of the appeal was getting proper versions of these but I can't say that's the case now. And if they're willing to cut a song, who knows what other alterations there may be. I get being... embarrassed, maybe the Surfers themselves wanted the song removed. But for a B.S. song that has the word "negro" in the title, it could be a lot worse. Why not just change the title to "Observer?"
"I Wanna Be Black" isn't the best Lou Reed song but I'm not buying a version of Street Hassle that doesn't have it.
― Cow_Art, Friday, 9 February 2024 10:08 (two months ago) link
the remasters are very good though, heard the download versions and they're definitely improvements over the 1999 (?) reissues.
