Musicological banter

And now the ones that agree with the first Rollins are left by themselves.

2016 PST

For the last 9+ hours, I have been answering letters from people from all over the world. The anger is off the scale and in my opinion, well placed.

The article I wrote in the LA Weekly about suicide caused a lot of hurt. This is perhaps one of the bigger understatements of all time. I read all the letters. Some of them were very long and the disappointment, resentment and ringing clarity was jarring.

That I hurt anyone by what I said, and I did hurt many, disgusts me. It was not at all my intent but it most certainly was the result.

I have had a life of depression. Some days are excruciating. Knowing what I know and having been through what I have, I should have known better but I obviously did not. I get so mad when I hear that someone has died this way. Not mad at them, mad at whatever got them there and that no one magically appeared to somehow save them.

I am not asking for a break from the caning, take me to the woodshed as much as you see fit. If what I said has caused you to be done with me, I get it.

I wrote something for the LA Weekly that they will post on Monday.

I wanted to get this out at this moment.

I am deeply sorry. Down to my marrow. I can?t think that means anything to you, but I am. Completely sorry. It is not of my interest to hurt anyone but I know I did. Thank you for reading this. Henry

I see, since all culture surrounds music, you interpret this as an anything goes zone.

I was goofing on the title more than anything, but I'll add 'Hardcore' isn't really the best description in which to base the whole Tumblr. The logos are really all intending to promote a hipster vibe not hardcore.

Although in twenty years when 'hipster' comes back around to being hip. There will be a Hipster Hardcore sub genre of music that will be based somewhere like Albuquerque. They will all create their own instruments out of locally sourced wood with artisanal strings. There will be a Hipster Hardcore tribute album to Henry Rollins, who will off himself in ten years when he learns the tragic combination of being diagnosed with hemorrhoids and the news Häagen-Daz has filed chapter 11.

Book that shit.

PetSmart is my first destination after I renew my policy.
That's the first time I've seen that ad and I wanted to check it out. Sadly, I found that Mr. Pop is not the first hit in Google when typing Iggy.

Well then, welcome to the world of Iggy pitching insurance with a puppet from those UK puppet guys from the 80s. I don't remember the name of their show/brand especially after Genesis inflicted one of their music videos with them.

930 is now a record label record label

not sure I'm interested in this show, but who are "9:30 Club subscribers" that will have a chance to win tickets through a lottery?

for some reason I can't seem to get any emails from the 930, I even subscribed under different e-mails and such.
On that note, like the low ticket warning, I think there should be a 930/IMP email thread

I received mail and email from 930 consistently for years, then ThatGuy got his panties in a bunch and banned me, and both immediately stopped. I've tried signing back up, nothing. That's pretty much the height of pettiness.

heck, I don't think I've burned any bridges with 930 (I'm sure there are a few bordies I've pissed off) But I've sent emails to human@930 and even the staff a FWB and still nothing.

Did you not see the date on the story?  It's from four years ago….  I was beginning to wonder if I had missed a memo about the label expanding or something.
