Koffin kats I'm vaguely familiar with. I don't remember explicitly disliking them. The cramps, Rev Horton heat, zbie ghost train, some nekromantix are stand outs.

Oh the Cramps are good. You have good taste man. 🖤

Music Nerd Stuff

I really should be working but I have no motivation today so I'm wasting my time doing this instead. If you feel like doing this please do. I don't know who to tag but I'll tag some folks at the bottom.

1. First Concert: officially? I'm pretty sure the first one I went to all by myself was Soundgarden/Rev Horton Heat at Max Bell. There were a few at that same time that I had gone to so I'm not sure but I'll stick with that answer. I know I bought Rev Horton Heat shirt with a Devil girl on it and it got me into a lot of trouble at school the first time I wore it. This probably ages me a little bit.

2. Last Concert: I think the last show I went to was Hot Water Music and Sincere Engineer. I've been super weird about doing anything since Covid. I mean weirder than I normally am. But I'm trying to force myself to go to more shows again. Sincere Engineer were amazing. I can't wait to see another show at a better venue.

3. Most Surprising Show: Hmm...this is tough. I've seen some pretty cool shows especially when I worked at the record store and would just get free tickets to anything. Seeing RVIVR on a whim at a bike shop in town. The show wasn't advertised or promoted at all. I just happened to stumble upon a random instagram post. I had never even seen this shop and it was like 10 blocks from my old house. So I went. It was so amazing. It felt like when I went to shows in high school. It really rejuvenated my love for punk rock.

4. Worst show: Oh I have seen a lot of those...as I mentioned I had a free ticket to almost anything that came through town and I would take full advantage of it. Like I went to see Styx with Gowen singing just because I could. Plus all the basement/all ages shows. I mean you gotta sift through some mud to get some gems. But, maybe the most disappointing was Arcade Fire. It was on their first "big" tour. To be fair I wasn't that into the album yet. But all I had heard was how amazing this band was live and how it was going to blow my mind. I legit fell asleep during the show on a couch. Like not related to booze or being tired. I might as well have been in a boring lecture at school.

or maybe Ozzy the last time I saw him. I saw him in like 96 and he was rad and energetic. Then I saw him later on pre the Sabbath reunion. We were lucky (or so I thought) to be side stage. But Ozzy was decrepit and couldn't move. He was reading off a teleprompter and it was sad seeing the regression. I have heard he ruled on the Sabbath shows but I didn't buy tickets for that based on this experience.

5. Loudest: Hmm...I assume all the basement shows were loud and probably were not good for any future hearing loss but the loudest show with an actual PA had to be the Misfits when they came through on the first run with Graves singing. I don't think my ears were ever the same. I also learned that wearing plugs at a show is probably a smart idea. Alas it was too late.

6. Band I’ve Seen The Most: I'd say Chixdiggit because they played all the time when I was a teenager. I'm sure there are other local bands that I saw just as much.

7. Best Show: Too many contenders. I have been fortunate to see so many good shows. I am a sucker for small venues and I really hate stadium or festival shows. I guess that's the punk rock snob in me. But the first one that came to mind was The Weakerthans at the multi cultural centre. It was an all ages show, on a Sunday , in the middle of summer which usually meant a giant failure at the time. I hadn't been a fan. I was too young to get that kind of music. But the show made me one. Plus I still get butterflies because that whole day was fantastic like some sort of scene in a movie when the main character looks back and reflects on something formative or romantic.

8. Happiest I Got To See: The Menzingers. They had canceled twice here and I finally got to see them. It was probably the first time I was up front at a stage in like 10 years.

9. Wish I Could’ve Seen: There are 3 for me

a) The Murder City Devils - They only played here once as far as I know. I wasn't 18 and I couldn't get into the show. My friend said he would get me in. I was too much of a chicken and I figured they would be back again soon. Much like Mr T at the mall it never happened.

b) Samiam - Same deal as above, same venue, I wish I wasn't such a chicken at the time.

c.) At the Drive In - I didn't get an actual chance to see them but fuck do I wish I could have seen them before they blew up and then hated being a band.

10. Seeing Next: I don't know. I always say I'll go to this show or that show. I'm old, I'm slightly afraid of large crowds now ...but I do have tickets to the Chuck Ragan, The Interrupters and Frank Turner in April. And I really want to see 1876 when they play here for Sled Island. That will rule.

[friendo]

Thinking about the weird older guy who was openly talking about how much of a piece of shit he was to his friend while I was waiting in line for the Toadies/Rev Horton Heat concert and the whole time I was like "please don't look at me please don't look at me" and SURE ENOUGH he was like hey. Can I buy you a beer. Or a water or something. And I was like "oh no thanks I'm trying not to pee tonight because I'm booking it to the front of the stage and I don't want to lose my spot :)"

And then he had the AUDACITY to ask if I "even knew" who the bands were and I was like. Sir. WHY would I be here.

Yuletidings 2011: Reindeer Games

1. Rudolfiana:  Thirty-four minutes of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer'' as performed in mind-bending variety by (In order of appearance): The Temptations, Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra, Los Lonely Boys, The Melodeers. Jack Johnson, Peach Hips, Ray Charles, Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband, Straight No Chaser, The Asylum Street Spankers, A.B. Green, Yvonne Norman, Chris Isaak and The Rev. Horton Heat.

2. Reindeer Games:  A seemingly endless but in reality only four-and-a-half minute instrumental “Rudolph” collision, featuring (again in order of appearance): Tuck Andress, Eddie Layton, Los Straitjackets, The Big Band of Billy May, John Bayless, Sy Mann, Don Patterson, The Gypsy Hombres, Ira Ironstrings, a music box, The U.S. Arm Band, Lawrence Welk and His Champagne Music Makers, Urbie Green, Soda, Andre Kostelanetz, The Three Suns, a carousel organ, Roy Smeck and NRBQ.

-------------------------------------------

This is, for now at least, the last of my forays into “supercut” montages*: 34 minutes of vocal versions of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, followed by a 4:30 instrumental edit as a so-called bonus.  You get Motown, polka, rock, doo-wop, singer-songwriter, Japanese pop, funk, a kind of calypso/bluegrass hybrid, a cappella, blues, and lots more.  

To be honest, “Rudolfiana” is just a bunch of wildly disparate versions of the song all strung together, and as such is pleasant enough, but I think “Reindeer Games” is a pretty good job of editing and a lot of fun to listen to.

The charming cover art was found online. *(See also 2003’s Jingle Hell and 2005’s Nuts:The Nutcracker Variations)
