  1. It's really real. Sweatergawd that's what happened
  2. Hollered it loud enough to scare all the animals Edit: chubby cat don't care. Not moving
  3. Outsider Music? Fair warning. This is not music that's pleasing to hear. It's discordant, atonal, and if you don't listen to the end I don't blame you. The Shaggs have a known history and are willing to be interviewed. The Ticket, or more accurately Gordo, played them one day and I... couldn't really grasp how they could exist. Someone paid for that? Got a record made and they did shows? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shaggs I heard Rock n Roll McDonalds in the same way. Gordon Keith sharing it with unsuspecting listeners. During his many tours and live appearances, Willis became "famous for greeting fans with a headbutt"; this left him with a distinctive permanent bruise on his forehead.[16] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesley_Willis He's from Houston. At least that's what is reported because nobody knows much of anything about him. https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/jandek-and-me/ He doesn’t grant interviews, has never been professionally photographed, and refuses to communicate with the public. All this secrecy gives rise to fascinating theories: that the name of Jandek’s record label—Corwood Industries—somehow incorporates his real surname, that he’s a mental patient, that he works in a Houston record-pressing plant, that his father works in a record-pressing plant, that it’s all a practical joke. ---- There is a greater than zero chance that someone here has seen him. I don't know why I find wild ass music like this fascinating. It's not bad on purpose. It just is bad. Wesley Willis was beloved in Chicago. The Shaggs have, at least in the past, regrouped and performed publicly. But, Jandek remains a mystery. Is he even alive? Stuff like this is compared to Ornette Coleman. But, he knew what he was doing. Leo Ornstein also knew what he was doing. Even if it was pissing people off. Wesley did not know. The Shaggs were doing what their dad told them to do. Jandek. Well, I don't know. Is it all a bit? Does the creative urge run so strong that he has to get it out? The world may never know.
  4. Watching baseball and listening to hockey. 27 seconds for Harley
  5. Last harvest. FREEZE ALERT Top left banana Big pile of Santa Fe Nice last batch of Fresno in red and green And the unknown little green firebombs in the middle
  6. Been saying that for a while. Noobs can get hammered flat if they start popping off hot sports opinions in football or one of the related forums. You can wind up with a lot of negs fast.
  7. Richard Zednik was another close call. Zednik has spoken about the incident in the past, but recently he joined the Slovak podcast Boris & Brambor where he recounted what was going through his mind. It should be noted that this translation is courtesy of u/Amphibious_Fire. “I saw Olli’s skate go up to my eyes so I instinctively put my head up and I felt his skate stabbing my neck. I knew it was bad, as it was skating to the bench I was thinking if I’d ever see my daughter again” https://www.bardown.com/richard-zednik-discussing-his-dangerous-neck-injury-is-absolutely-terrifying-1.1594496
  8. I'm just going to keep drinking my coffee. I didn't exactly rush over here to claim a spot on page 1 because as the name implies there were questions about the overall nature of the team. I've seen plenty of shitty baseball out of this team from my earliest sports consciousness. I'm going to try to enjoy the ride. It's been a decade since they were here. Heartbreak or heroics. Cheers. Edit: don't know or care if it's already been posted
