Speaking of "Pink Flag," my new band is working out a cover if "Two People In A Room" from what I've realized is Wire's best record, "154."

That's all. I take any chance I can to bring up Wire anywhere.

Oh shit, Ascetic Parade?! The party is on now!

Go play Skyrim.

powerbait (February 9, 2012)

I have nothing clever to contribute to the internet.

baldsteve (February 9, 2012)

What's wrong with skyrim?

powerbait (February 9, 2012)

Nothing, it is a lot better than oblivion.

powerbait (February 9, 2012)

I'm actually playing it right now. Rich just hasn't started playing it yet.

Dante3000 (rich) (February 9, 2012)

I have not. I probably won't. It looks rad but I literally play video games for maybe 30minutes to an hour at a time, and even then maybe once or twice a week. It seems like I'd never finish. This is why I stick to short games.

powerbait (February 9, 2012)

just trade in your kid at gamestop. I hear they are giving an extra 50% trade in bonus for kids under a year old.

Heathbar (February 9, 2012)

He'd be upper management in a week.

Same...when PS3 was announced I swore I wouldn't get one since I barely played my PS2 (which I said I wouldn't get because I barely played my PS1). I was shocked at myself when I actually finished Arkham Asylum and Uncharted 2. Maybe in a year I will get the sequels to those.

powerbait (February 9, 2012)

AA is awesome, Uncharted 2 was solid. I still play my 360 more than my PS3 though. Pretty sure I'm never gonna grow up.

ianissuperrad (February 9, 2012)

Ascetic Parade are Down To Fuck Hard without a doubt.

MN_DrNick (February 9, 2012)

Ann Beretta is now recording new music. 2012 is shaping up to be a pretty good year.

mclz (February 9, 2012)

New Ann Beretta and new One Man Army....I already know those will be in my top 5 list of 2012.

nothingtoadd (February 9, 2012)

Can't wait for these. Is there info anywhere on the new Ann Beretta material?

Subwayscott (February 9, 2012)

Ann Beretta seemingly got worse with every release. Is this new record just going to be Rob and a couple of scabs? I would assume that neither Leer or Chris will be back, as they left awhile ago. Maybe Russ will be in on it. Who knows. Hopefully it's not more of Robbie's shitty acoustic stuff.

skolarx (February 9, 2012)

You're nuts. If anything I thought they got better with every release. I haven't checked out anything past the first foundation album but that one is easily in my top 10 albums ever. I know the newer stuff he had experimented with more instruments and went for more of a country sound but that first one is just about perfect.

I'd also assume they would be a 3 piece, as they were every time I saw them live other than the weird show were Russ had left the tour sick so they played acoustic (with Taking Back Sunday opening for some odd reason.)

Subwayscott (February 9, 2012)

Much better live show with a second guitar player/additional vocalist. Kinda boring to watch live as a three piece, especially as the guy who replaced Chris always seemed like a bit of a goon.

skolarx (February 9, 2012)

I wonder if the first couple of time I saw them (with Grade and Voodoo Glowskulls) if Chris was playing bass for them still. I know the acoustic show there was a new guy playing bass

MN_DrNick (February 9, 2012)

Uh.... No. Their second album along with the Burning Bridges EP and the acoustic album, all three released in 1999, were the best. That was the peak, but the releases afterwards were still solid.

Subwayscott (February 9, 2012)

The second album was decent, even the songs Leer ripped off from other bands! It was a steep decline after that.

skolarx (February 9, 2012)

There are a couple of songs off that release that sound a lot like they could have been Rancid songs of Let's Go

MN_DrNick (February 9, 2012)

You do know I'm talking about "To All The Fallen Heroes", right?

sketchyjoe (February 9, 2012)

It's not a proper Fest unless Mikey Erg is playing more than one set.

mattramone (February 9, 2012)

If you miss out on the pre-show, you are going to miss me and the Beardcave Choir doing a rousing rendition of "Bro Hymn" during Orgcoroke.

ThisRespirator (February 10, 2012)

WOAH

Don't wanna miss that.
