I remember seeing Seagull Screaming in a basement here in Mpls in 1996 - did you live here then? | |
Wed. 5/4/16 7:12pm
Gary:
Dang, Polyus, I was there then, yes, but I didn't know yet about SSKHKH | |

I should point out, btw, that this is NOT the Japanese noise show I've been planning for a while ... that'll be sometime in the future | |

Melt Banana i/o Japanese noise will do just fine. Saw MB at late, lamented Al's Bar near downtown Los Angeles. | |

I've seen Melt Banana probably 9 times in the last 20 years, once Henry Rollins was in Gainesville at the same time to give a lecture and do spoken word performances. He walked into the tiny punk club where Melt Banana were playing and collaborated impromptu on a few songs w/ them. It was awesome! Nearly broke my hand rocking out. | |
Wed. 5/4/16 7:57pm

Aw, man -- you guys get to see all the great bands! | |
Wed. 5/4/16 7:58pm

@Dean: Al's bar was great. There was no Al, it was just called that. Marc Kreisel,an L.A. artist,bought and ran it. www.youtube.com... Significant bohemian historical trivia. Glad you mentioned it. | |
Wed. 5/4/16 8:49pm

Geezerette! | |

Gary:
Geezerette, someday I might do a three-hour show of nothing but Aiha Higurashi's various bands & solo albums ... she's one of my all-time-faves | |
Wed. 5/4/16 8:52pm
Dean:
I know Al's well, @geezerette. Loved it. Used to do homework there on return from UCLA to the east end of LA County. One of my buddies, X-8 of Flip Side, used to live in the hotel upstairs. | |
Wed. 5/4/16 8:54pm
Dean:
Will watch YT video when I have a moment. Really miss the place. | |
Wed. 5/4/16 8:55pm
geezerette:
Oh yeah, The American Hotel. It had been an SRO Hotel before that. It's a really terrible video. | |
Wed. 5/4/16 8:56pm
Dean:
With the airplane hanging on the facade! I spent my wedding night at Al's Bar. Drunk Horse played. | |
Wed. 5/4/16 8:58pm
geezerette:
I used to think SRO meant standing room only. haha! Sounds like a great wedding! | |
Wed. 5/4/16 8:58pm
Gary:
^I always thought that, too! | |
Wed. 5/4/16 8:59pm
Gary:
It seemed odd that someone would want to spend the night in a hotel where you couldn't sit or lie down | |
Wed. 5/4/16 9:00pm
geezerette:
So funny! Thing is, those rooms were small enough for that to be true! | |

Yikes!! Cat insanity, burning pork, computer weirdness ... never let it be said Gary doesn't suffer for his art! | |

Wow, your cat really doesn't like your show. | |

Yeah, Ezra hates anything that sucks attention away from him. It's gotten so I have to take my computer out to a cafe or something when I work during the day, which is every day. | |

if the cat doesn't like this show, you should probably dress up in catcher's gear for the noise show | |

Goddam, i forgot how great Guitar Wolf is. Think my copy of UFO Romantics is now in the WFMU cd library. | |
Wed. 5/4/16 9:23pm
Gary:
I bought a copy of UFO Romantics at the record fair this weekend, actually! | |
Wed. 5/4/16 9:25pm
steve:
Ha! It might have been mine... I did donate my copy a year or two ago. | |
Wed. 5/4/16 9:26pm
Gary:
If it was on CD, I bet it's yours ... picked it up off the WFMU $3 table, even though I already had it in MP3 | |
Wed. 5/4/16 9:28pm
steve:
It's easily worth 3 bucks just for the photos | |

If Katy Perry's California gurls can melt popsicles, BPL can melt bananas! | |
Wed. 5/4/16 9:48pm

To paraphrase apocryphal Freud, sometimes a cigar is just a banana-flavored popsicle. | |

Can someone let me know when the stream kicks in after the show is over? There's something wrong with my computer and I'm not sure I can make it stop streaming out w/out turning it off ... we'll see what happens ... | |

thanks for the trip to the far east! | |

David:
A future noise episode is intriguing.. I would consider tossing in a few quirky Jpop songs for contrast. The new °C-ute single is very good.. Played after Hijō Kaidan would be cool >__< | |
