    I'd aim for the wireless headset ones.

    I couldn't make up my mind to choose the Band of Gypsys version or the Berkeley one.

    There's also a hand on the glock remix with the Beastie Boys or something. But the original will always be better.

    And that Bad Brains song, although probably one of my least favorite, for whatever reason, from that album, is still SOOOOOOO good.

    I Against I? Best. Album. Ever.

    Wanna fight about it? ; ) In a sane world, every song would STILL be on the radio. I still don't know why HR wouldn't speak when I met him. I'm pretty sure he was tripping. Or probably had just smoked a QP.

    Hired Gun might not be the best song on I Against I, but it still has the band in good stead. You should check out American Hardcore: The History of American Punk Rock 1980 - 1986, I just saw it on cable. There's a lot of Bad Brains interviews with lots of pot smoking.

    The problems I had with that movie were mainly about D.R.I. and C.O.C. No Corrosion footage? Was DRI even in it? They even interviewed C.O.C.

    What was there was intensely cool. What was missing sort of made the movie hard to watch, eventually. And I know you can't cram every band into one movie. Speaking of which, I have NC4L in my hands.

    I agree, they focused on some weak bands at the expense of better ones. The movie lacked a strong narrative, but it's still a decent watch for a fan of the music. What's NC4L?

    Nerdcore For Life.

    Which is the name of the posse track I did, a long time ago, an homage to Niggaz 4 Life, of course.

    But, strangely, that song doesn't appear at all in the film, and I even remember the filmmaker telling someone online that he came up with it...

    So I kinda had to point out, no, you did not.

    Well, he did once, on my board. He was corrected.

    But... he really did a good job with this film. I'm not going to pirate it, but it is really well-done. Of course, I'm a central character in the film, due to my big dick nerd status, and he goes out of his way to credit me.

    Even so, it is really a fun little movie. Pure cult stuff, like Trekkies or something. And I am clearly the cult figure in this cult film.

    When this thing sees widespread release, I am going to split many asses.

    I'd hate to set up a newsreader to read it and the web-based interface for binary groups only show the files/pics, no text. I see that JankItMailBox@comcast.net, iGotMail@cox.net and whoopie@my.org/asm have posted a lot of political pics. In a search, I also found the group usually has some sort of ego clashes going on.

    That woopie guy is one of them. There's another one, ha mm er. They are very crabby old conservatives hanging on to theoretical ideas and reality gets them very angry. There are a handful of people who give them a hard time but it is supposed to be a picture group and before they came there was rarely discussion and the group wasn't political. It was more like art and humor. They lose their tempers so easily :) I accused them of being the same person, of being terrorists, something about torture and dancing the polka together. One discussion was about how Hitler was a socialist, and therefore liberals are like Hitler. No one invoked Godwins law. I explained how Napoleon, Franco, Mussolini, and even Saddam's guard were Republicans. That's when one of em got really mad and plonked me.

    They found you - that's kinda nice that they are coming back to pay homage :)

    Schmoo looks phallic.

    OH NO NOT THAT MOUSE!!! Really I was walking the fine line of sanity but the mouse put me over the edge - oh my look at the time.

    Al Swearengen - I wouldn't trust him - it's a tourist trap now - done up like an old town - with gambling. It will be all driving and stopping and tourist traps. I am planning a trip and hardly have a clue of what I'm doing. I leave next Monday and I don't even have hotels lined up. Screw it, I need my sleep. Sorry about the rambling -

    You have fun!
