Anyone else get that promotional email from Napalm Records and see the state of the Lacuna Coil promo pic for their new webstore? Are they actually living backwards? Whatever the opposite of growing old gracefully is, this is it.

Wouldn't ye think though she'd be telling the rest of those goons to tone it down a bit and leave her make up box alone

Random *punk related thought.

I've watched a few Fugazi live videos on YouTube this evening. Three out of the four members go spastic on stage, particularly the guitarist who isn't McKaye, and the spasticism is ramped up to eleven whenever he puts his guitar down and just sings. Depending on my mood I could either say it's great or downright silly. Two thoughts have come to me on this point. The first is, do you reckon the bassist feels really self conscious as the only member who just kind of stands there and plays, holding the music together. Even the drummer looks like he's teetering on the edge of total lunacy. The second thought: do you reckon your man does all that spastic shit in jamming??

The basketball hoop image never fails to raise a smile whenever it pops up somewhere.
I still rate a Fugazi gig as my favourite of all time. That particular day Ian MacKaye seemed deranged and soaked in sweat as they played. Turned out he had pneumonia and the rest of the Australian tour was cancelled after the one I saw as he was admitted to hospital. Joe Lally always seemed in the background alright, I've always meant to listen to his solo stuff but never got to it. He had a label that released the Spirit Caravan stuff way back then.

I've shared my Fugazi live anecdote before on MI but sure I'll share it here again. I had a ticket to go see them last time they played Dublin. I ended up having a row with my then missus over God knows what. It was the evening of the gig and we had just made up and we were sitting in Fibbers having a drink. I was going to have to bail petty soon to make my way up to Whelan's I think, but we were maybe still on shaky ground, or maybe I just wanted the post- argument (Argument!) ride, so I turned to the table behind me and said, 'anyone want a free ticket to Fugazi?'. I gave the ticket away thinking fuck it I'll catch them next time. That was the last time they ever played in Dublin as they split up soon after

Lads from Type O are apparently putting together a live album of some sort according to an Instagram link a fella sent me a minute ago.
