Aw, man, that was awful but amazing at the same time.
Something about clueless 80'sness that is so endearing. Kinda like a rock band full of dweeby ninjas:
Ok, now that was perfect.
Mullets, Kung Fu, Ninjas, Synth pop rock, hex electronic Drum kit, extremely bad acting.
« This band is the only family I have » .....One liners!!!!
Sounds like a good time to me.
My drummer is THE ULTIMATE expert on bad movies. He made me watch the most epic bad crap ever.
Ever see Turkish Star Wars?? And that’s just the tip of the bull crap iceberg of bad flicks.
Notice Indiana Jones theme song in Turkish Star Wars Movie. You can taste the cringe.
Yes, I've seen Turkish Star Wars and Turkish Superman.
Miami Connection is definitely worth a watch, even multiple viewings.
Well, I lasted exactly 22 seconds...
That sounds like the perfect cue-in for my Shameless Namedropping/Shameful Career Decision story:
I played in an instrumental avant-jazz comprovisational ensemble from 1986-1998 ...except from '87-92 I took a sabbatical.
During my sabbatical the band A) performed a concert with Tim Berne as their special guest, playing some of Tim's charts and having Tim play their original music; and B) recorded an album of all Anthony Braxton material that was officially sanctioned by Mr. Braxton -- he provided charts, some direction, and lots of encouragement).
I returned to the band full-time just in time to hear about how awesome those accomplishments were
was that debris?
the worst part of that story is that you missed out on all that big free jazz money.
Champion Leccy has something new in the works. I think I see more money falling out of my wallet.
So I just threw this down about 2 hours ago. Was itching to record me playing around with the Astrolab, since I've been doing this a lot since I got this thing. I'm not really a "noise" guy but I love the sounds I get from this thing. Only effect is the Endless Sleeper lo fi delay.
LOL! Which reminds me, one of the -- very -- few contractually-binding remunerations associated with that band is still outstanding 22-odd years later. (We did an album with Herb Robertson that was supposed to be released on the Eighth Day Music label, and in addition to my bass playing duties I was the mix engineer, for which I was usually paid in full upon delivery. Eighth Day not only went belly-up before the album could be mastered, they also went AWOL.)
Yes, that was Debris. Debris -- accommodate the mess
Slightly OT, but I saw Tim Berne's bloodcount at the Knitting Factory in NYC sometime around 99. My life was never the same after that gig. His drummer Jim Black totally changed the way I looked at rhythm. Amazing stuff.
Jim's a huge influence of mine, and for many people. I know that @steubig has played with him.
sometimes fortune smiles on us.
a recording of the gig with stinson and black:
re blood count: michael formanek on bass.
