30 Seconds Over DC - Dischord Rere

From what I hear Dischord will rerelease the crazy DC compilation the first group I was in was on .
Some years bk, Henry Rollins tried to get Rick Rubin's American Recordings to do it, but that didn't work out.
Now Rollins went bk to source and with Dischord (some of DC's finest) doing it - cool and much respect -
from one gen of 'punk' to another .
"30 Seconds Over DC" has tracks by The Rudements,
The Slickee Boys , Chumps, Billy Synth, Jeff Dahl ,
1/2 Japanese , White Boy, The Nurses ,Tina Peel ,
Young Turds (can't forget them !) and Da Moronics,
among others.
Limp Records 1978 ...

Ich Und Die Wirklichkeit

"Yeah" : Usher , Ludi and Lil Jon took the TRL stage yesterday to do a much better - then - the record version of their hit.
Lil Jon in control , crowd goes wild , Ludi so conspicuous

Great to see Condi's sorry pat replies and
George , Rummy , Colin , George having to answer for 9/11 panel .
The *uckers blew it and they better not get in next time 'round.
Grill 'em over high heat

Second season of The Shield pretty hardcore so far,
last night's ep. with the Eastern European looking hooker was a 'disturbing but you had to watch' kind of thing

Good email exchange with Hell late last night,
with the collapse of EFA (Dist.) , things are *ucked up.
Steady on mate . Verlier Nicht Den Kopf ...

Merry Christmas Mr. Sakamoto

Kind of great to see Ryuichi Sakamoto on "Hey Hey Hey" tonight.
He played a sweet version of "Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence" on solo piano,
and just finished doing "Undercooled" with MC Sniper from Korea and Keigo O (aka Cornelius) on fx guitar.
Poor Sakamoto hurt his back and was with an ebony cane,
but almost couldn't stop laughing with the hosts when they showed old clips of stunts from years ago.
Ryuichi , long may u run

plus TUSSLE

and TUSSLE's "Don't Stop" Ep is also out now on Tmu.
remixes by Soft Pink Truth from Matmos
and I remix "Don't Stop" .
TUSSLE seems to be evolving their own sound and
it's a good thing
