One Base on an Overthrow: Everyone Has A Right To Be Wrong

Everyone Has A Right To Be Wrong

M-13 is Rich Stremme (Deacons/Brutally Familiar) and Al Pist (The Pist/East Coast Panic), plus two other guys from Brutally Familiar and the drummer from Chellovek 4/East Coast Panic... I saw these guys at Whitney House last night, and they friggin' ripped. Best set of the year so far. Okay, I know that's not saying much because it's only the second week of January, but still... Some of their stuff is thrash, some of it stomps like late-80's NYHC (note Mike's crucial Supertouch shirt), but it's all totally heavy. Though not quite a Brutally Familiar reunion, they played a bunch of Brutally Familiar songs-- setting off mass sing-alongs and waves of people flying-- plus at least one Deacons cover ("I Hate My Life") and some new songs that they should be recording soon... I guess M-13 was the tag of a graffiti artist that Rich knew, and not a machine gun or something, as you might be thinking... They're playing again next week, in New London on Saturday at the El 'n Gee, with White Bronco of all bands. Could be worth a road trip... I don't have an M-13 song to post, so for the heck of it I'll post a Brutally Familiar song (one of the ones M-13 has been playing live) which Al sent me. I was gonna rip a song off the "TV Land" EP, but this one's way better.

This blog was originally intended to be a place for me to write about the records in my collection, regardless of their rarity/collectability-- or, at least, it was when I first started. Lately it's just been an excuse for me to make dumb jokes and spout off about a lot of stupid crap. Sometimes different things will be thrown in along the way just to confuse people and piss them off, which is okay. All screw-ups, wrong dates, and mis-statements will be ignored by me as if they were intentional, except for grammatical errors which will be edited and rewritten at least five or six times if necessary. Facts will often be misrepresented, as a way of mocking those people who think such things are important. Please note: This is just a hobby for me, and bands are written about here either because I own one of their records or because I've seen them play before and like them. Posting press releases for crappy bands that I have no use for is not really how I want to spend my spare time. If you want to know what kind of bands I like, just look at the sidebar to see which bands I've written about already, and you'll notice that your PR firm doesn't represent any of them. Most of the live band photos on this blog are mine, and if there's one of your band that you like then please feel free to use it, I don't care. It's your band anyway. The blog title itself was swiped from Paul Caporino-- "One Base on an Overthrow" was originally going to be the title of a M.O.T.O. record that I was going to release back in the '90s, but that never actually happened. Lucky for you, I guess.
