Show #2: Patriotism and Dissent... is in production this very moment. Mikey is mixing tunes while I take a blog break, so hopefully you can download the new Over The Top tonight or tomorrow. I'm sorry it wasn't ready for the holiday, but I hope y'all was too busy eating bar-b-q and hanging with family or friends to notice MSIG Army AWOL.
Once upon a time, in the dark sad days before a definite connection was made between the current Bush Administration and the traitorous disclosure of Valerie Plame's CIA identity, Mikey and I were at the drawing board trying to flesh this thing out from a confused idea to a virtual 1980s punk rock basement cafe. One of the joke titles for the radio show referred to an off-the-rack phrase that dominated '80s pop culture: Too Legit To Quit.
Maybe "Where's the beef?" would fit better or Mad Cow Disease
Radio, but from a personal view, I'm amazed by how many Too
Legit To Quit connections from the past have sizzled back into
my life, directly and indirectly, in the few weeks since I hooked
with Mikey to get this going. On show #1 we played Carbondale
transplanted to Austin, Texas band EMG. Now thanks to Mikey
running into former EMG guy Rick Carney at Midlands in the Dale,
we have something from Rick's new group (that he's been playing
with for 15 years, but it's new to me) Jesus Christ Superfly.
The CD is called "I DON'T WANNA BE CRAZY," and it doesn't matter
that I have yet to hear it. One of those odd political realities:
that insane writer you put up with in 1985 could easily be pimping
your band and your CD 20 years later just because he remembers
you as a good guy. Where's the critical integrity? Check out
the track and judge for yourself, people. John Collins from
the Bottletones... it's been many years, but John already agreed
to participate in any kind of political fundraiser that we put
together. Three cheers for the Billy Zoom of Mattoon!
Thanks again to Matt Sobczyk, Nando the Nefarious, and Dr. Kare for a long weekend of food, tunes, and good company. It was a mellow vibe and I was more than OK with that. Go figure. Thanks to Toby for letting me hang out all night and watch movies (finally saw "Sideways"...I liked it but thought it was somewhere in the middle between the bold few who praised it as some sort of "Citizen Kane" and the critical Aunt Polly onslaught implying public execution of the actors by stoning is an appropriate response to depicting the meandering California sexuality of creative alcoholic-types). Holler to everyone under the Earth banner at the Webster Grove bash. Holler to Larry Davis for checking in. Holler to all the folks from all over the world who are clicking in and seeing the evolution of the copy machine punk and politics fanzine to this. You can pogo in your living room like Katya and I used to do with GBH or Black Flag on the boom-box. Now you won't smash your forehead into the heating ducts like I used to in the Lost Cross basement.
