Aint No Right

Some might remember last July I got slammed in my car totaling it from some speeding idiot who tried to go around me in front of Fingerprints Record store in Long Beach. So since then, my insurance company has been trying to settle with his insurance (he's been ruled like 80% responsible) and he wen...

I am not 100% certain, but I think The Damned lineup will include originals Brian James and Rat. They planned on a reunion last year which of course was shelved due to Covid but have rebooked the dates in the UK for next February.

They moved the postponed "Cruel World" goth/new wave festival to the friggin' Rose Bowl. No thanks...

Jaz has been living in Mexico the past year and a half and last week posted a video of a fishing trip in which he took a backwards header off the boat and somehow was seriously injured.

Japan baffles me. They seem to be super organized and ahead of the curve as a society on a lot of things, but the government really dropped the ball in the aftermath of the Fukushima meltdown and now the Covid response.

I think it's going to be messy this Summer with a (US) vaccination percentage still far below herd immunity. Individual states are going to have different rules especially for venue limits and events requiring "proof" of vaccination or negative covid tests and maybe masks for entry is going to be a ...

Didn't Chaney try out for or even play for one of the post-Freddy Mercury iterations of Queen?

Got the 10 inch vinyl of KJ÷93 this week. This is from a several day recording session back in 1993 of Jaz, Geordie and Joy Divisions' Peter Hook. The 3 songs are decent, basically guitar, bass, synth and vox with some laid back percussion/drums w/no credit who’s playing but it could just be sampled...

I was under the impression they were 3 different options for the jury to convict, not that they could convict Chauvin of (all) 3 levels of murder/manslaughter - I mean, he killed the one guy once.

ohhhhhh boy. not looking forward to the second dose. :drink: Same story everytime. :lol: At least it gets better after a day or two. :thumb: It's weird. I went back to bed and slept for a couple hours. Woke up a while ago feeling much better but super hungry. Drove to a local sandwich shop, ate a m...

Everything was great up through about midnight last night after we got the second shots that morning. Around midnight, significant achiness in my neck, arm and joints, mild headache, hot and cold sweats set in and no way to get to sleep. All three of us have exactly the same symptoms, all three of u...

My wife, son and I all got our 2nd Moderna shot together this morning. Wife told the nurse giving me the jab today was my 62nd birthday so they made a big, embarrassing deal out of it. I felt like one of those old fuckers at a rest home. On the plus side, zero issues so far with any of us.

I don't think anyone cares or even knows who Perry is these days so I think he's safe. I do think a band like Jane's or just about any artist or band with any sort of edge up through the end of the 90's would never get past first base in today's culture. Everything and everyone is so polarized and e...

Wow, never thought I'd hear about these kind of measures in Canada.... Ontario gives police authority to stop people, vehicles, ask purpose of travel TORONTO -- The Ontario government is giving police temporary powers to enforce its stay-at-home order and allowing them to stop individuals and vehicl...

Sure you can, just smoke it! Never give up on your dreams

Heh, the thing is, I hate smoking too. I've never even smoked a joint despite my best friend being a serious pothead and roommate off and on through my 20's.

I feel the exact opposite...I really wanted the two shot it's almost 30% more effective at preventing covid :noclue: And like 10% better at serious covid prevention...and since you can still pass it to those without the vaccine..seems a no brainer...well at least people are getting what they wanted...

Today is 2 weeks after my 2nd dose. No symptoms after shot 1 (Moderna). Awful, Awful flu like symptoms for 24 hours after shot 2. I couldn't get out of bed. However, very, very happy to be fully vaccinated. Yeah, I hear from a lot of people who got the 2nd Moderna shot that you feel like absolute c...

I have been waiting patiently for word on my invitation to the line. I've had multiple opportunities to get vaxed through various means, but have declined. I'm a Kaiser member and 54 years old. Kaiser called last Thursday with a message that I was now eligible; I called...twice and left vm's and ha...

I wonder how Perry got his vax (his 2nd?) ahead of most of the under 65 crowd last week? California didn't open up to the under 65 crowd being eligible until today and those are only people who are essential workers or those with pre-existing conditions. Maybe he got it as a bonus with his latest ro...

Holy shit, I didn't hear anything about this until doing a bit of research before sitting down to file my taxes. "Last week, the Senate made changes to the Covid relief bill passed by the House of Representatives that impact tax filing in the middle of the 2020 season. A key update in the bill, whic...

Yeah, I’m not too high on humanity these days. Last Friday I got a call from my insurance regarding the accident where I got hit in front of Fingerprints Records in Long Beach last Summer. Turns out the guy that broadsided me and then slammed head on into another car later claimed neck injury and wa...

So I had my first major run-in with an idiot in a grocery store who made a big deal about not wearing a mask. I was in line about to pay for groceries when the clerk noticed this guy in a motorcycle outfit w/no mask doing self-checkout in the next isle over. The clerk tells the guy he needs to wear ...

I'll check this out, but I haven't been super impressed with much of Ash's stuff the last couple'a decades. Poptone was ultimately just ok.

I have to say, at this point I'd be more psyched for a Love And Rockets reunion especially with a new album than Bauhaus.
