Lars did most of it, Tim did some of the choruses. They did "Knowledge" tuesday night in Boston from what I heard.

I went to X/Rollins band saturday night, Frank Black/Foo Fighters tuesday, and Rancid wednesday. I might review one or two of 'em.

Highlights:

Rollins saying "This isn't sweat... this is tears!" and them emphatically slapping his chest, sending sweat fucking everywhere, during "Liar," which was fucking amazing, by the way.

John Doe saying "We don't have as much time as we though, so no jokes or talking tonight.... Jesus is coming back, the Yankees still suck, about sums it up. Here's the next song."

Getting a picture with John Doe, who goes "hey, it's our hawaiin vacation!" a picture with Exene, and a picture with DJ Bonebrake.

Frank Black, solo acoustic, doing "Cactus" and fucking "Wave of Mutilation." DUDE.

Foo Fighters whole set, and Dave Grohl's quote of the night "Hey Pat (Smear, formerly of the Germs, Nirvana, and Foo Fighters), look, someone in a Germs shirt. You don't see that every day."

Running into Ken Casey of DKM in the lobby after Foo Fighters and finding out DKM still wants to do an acoustic album but Hellcat/Epitaph doesn't want them to.

Hearing FVK play Cro-Mags songs while I was waiting for my tickets outside.

Actually being impressed by Theo & The Skyscrapers and seeing how they do goth-dance-punk wayyyy better than AFI.

Running into Al Barr of DKM, Lenny Lashley of Darkbuster, Mark Lind of Ducky Boys, Steph who used to be DKM's merch girl, and a buncha other people from Boston bands. I'm assuming Mark Unseen wasn't there because he was busy prepping his spikes for the Casualties show.

Rancid. Fuckin' Rancid, dude.

Rancid opening with "Roots Radicals."

Seeing Evil Dead play on Rancid's backdrop.

Rancid playing "Unity" and "Journey to the End of the East Bay."

Rancid's mini-acoustic set, starting with "Fall Back Down" which had people screaming "Fuck Brody!"

Rancid just being fucking awesome.

P.S. didn't pay for any of the shows, actually got paid to go to X/Rollins Band and Rancid.

I bought merch. A poster and a shirt, at least, at every show. I work at a local radio station, doing street team stuff. It's a good gig. Not that much money, but it was a good time.

The foos/frank black gig was a birthday gift.

what happened to Xine? did you perves finally scare her away?

She's busy filling the cup... with her tears.

Are you out of your mind? What do you think they shipped on the Jello Biafra/Melvins cd?

Report  
Someone (August 25, 2006)

It sold 7500 in one year, my guess is they shipped close to 10k. Mind blowing numbers.

Those kind of numbers would get you dropped from a lot of "indie" labels.

exactly. I was being sarcastic.

You are an idiot. The only thing you could learn from this interview is how much one person can be full of shit.

great incite "someone", not let's see some proof. What an internet douche!

It's beyond accurate, Lumbershit destroyed in a few months what Mordam took years to build and continues to rip off countless labels by refusing to pay what they're owed.

I used to work for Mordam and saw first hand how these assholes operate, FUCK THEM.

Karma's a motherfucking bitch, Dirk.

The real irony is how the Hemsaths think that they can gain credibility by buying a once-reputable company such as Mordam and attempting to create an "empire" (emphasis on the quotation marks). Mordam died the minute this sale was completed, and Ruth should be ashamed of herself for selling out her staff like she did. So much for integrity, especially towards people that went through thick and thin to keep Mordam going, only to be backstabbed by a posse of amateur social climbers.

All that they've managed to do so far is further ruin their already shitty reputation by lying through their teeth, refusing to pay money that's owed to several labels, dodging their financial responsibilities as long as possible... should I go on?

Isn't it just a shame that certain people's major label aspirations won't ever come to fruition thanks to the fact that they're just incompetent?
