DLD 10/15/09 - The Decline of AN Civilization

Because not having a DLD is barbaric...
Actually, the title references Penelope Spheeris' 1981 documentary about the Los Angeles punk scene. This was on my mind because of the death of Brendan Mullen earlier this week. Mullen founded The Masque, a club and rehearsal space in Hollywood that was the center of the first wave of LA punk bands. This is a link dump, so I will pass along a selection of the finest bands to come from the Masque scene.
- The Germs -- Lexicon Devil (live footage)
- The Alley Cats -- Nothing Means Nothing Anymore (live footage)
- The Bags -- Babylonian Gorgon (sorry, it's just audio, but the fact that this is like the best song ever should partially make up for it)
- The Middle Class -- Home Is Where (again, no video)
- The Weirdos -- We Got the Neutron Bomb (live footage)
But it's good to have some baseball links as well...
- The Hardball Times takes a look at some top prospects who played in the Southern and Texas leagues this last year. I'll let you guess who they are describing with this quote: "his power was every bit as devastating as advertised".
- Also from Hardball Times, a thorough look at the Venezuelan Patrol Craft. A friend of mine, who is a Rockies fan, is pretty unhappy with Oakland right now, on account of Huston Street's meltdown, but he really can't say anything bad about another part of the Holliday deal.
Dump away!

I'm like halfway done with grading
micdog2001 provided me with all the answers for GOG #00, but there were a shit-ton of people who posted entries for that one, so it’s just kind of slow getting through all that. You did see that grades are up now for all the regular season GOGs, right?

I just figured in a DLD about lack of civility I should set the tone.

I meant to mention the other thing brought to mind by the DLD title, which is the number of borderline flame wars that have broken out lately. But I am generally entertained by them, so I wouldn’t want to do anything to discourage it…

then I hate you and find you stupid.
But seriously, I do understand how it can be frustrating. If it’s any consolation, I think that the signal is still beating out the noise in the prospect ranking threads.

The purpose of the poll is to determine what AN thinks.
If the bulk of AN is stupid about prospects, the list should reflect that.
It’s a fine and noble goal to try to help make AN less stupid, but to the extent that they remain unconvinced, the poll should not otherwise be tampered with.

Hmm, I just looked at the poll thread.
The weirdness is a sudden late pro-Brown surge. That’s certainly not anti-DFA, since DFA said he’s voting for Brown this round.
I like Brown, and I’ve been voting for him a few times now, but the late surge does seem a little odd.

Look the community poll is made up of people that i respect’s opinion, including the muppet who I have been yelling at recently, and a whole lot of people who I don’t have a reason to respect. The debate is far more important than the ranking, which are going to be significantly off my personal rankings unless i have Jeremy set up a Dan and Casey like rig on the system.

Quick blurb on Chris Carter in the Mexican League
in Kevin Goldstein’s Minor League Update over on Baseball Prospectus (I believe you need to be a subscriber to follow that link):
Chris Carter, 1B, Athletics (MEX: Guasave)
Tuesday’s stats: 1-for-4, HR (2), 2 R, 2 RBI, BB, K
Not that it’s a big surprise or anything, but Carter is mashing again, with two home runs in his first three winter league games. The bad news is that he’s also struck out eight times in 13 at-bats, as the Mexican League is filled with finesse pitchers who throw strikes and spin a variety of quality breaking balls. That’s exactly the kind of competition Carter needs reps against if he’s going to compete for the first base job next spring.

speaking of reunions
I went and saw “the Germs” when they reunited and toured a few years ago. That was sort of strange, considering that Darby Crash is one of the most singular performers imaginable and he died before I was even born. It was still a pretty fun show, but former teen heartthrob Shane West was not exactly terrifying.
by colin on Oct 15, 2009 12:21 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Did Shane West at least do enormous amounts of smack and booze before getting on stage?
Maybe Darby should have listened to TAQN closer — I’ve never seen any statement that it was about him in particular, but it could have been (“Fall down on the floor/Take a quaalude now/Pass out on the street/Take a quaalude now/You can’t do anything/So why not hurt yourself?/You know I wouldn’t steer you wrong/OK now do it worse/Yeah, yeah believe in me/You know it pays to go along/Swallow broken glass/Take a quaalude now/Set yourself on fire/Take a quaalude now”).

a big reason why west was lifeless
was that he didnt do any drugs before playing, as bad as it sounds thats why Darby was such an endearing and awesome frontman.
Crash’s lyrics were something else too, sit down and read them sometime they were quite legendary he was an excellent poet and had a lot of illuminating self-reflection. He was quite a character, his biography is a great read:
AND while we are on the topic of american 80’s hardcore punk, I recently attained this book of outright awesomeness:

But don't you think they were a little bit responsible, and deliberately so, for that misunderstanding?
They seem to have made a pretty conscious decision to “clean up their act” when they signed with a major (or maybe a little before, in order to sign, I don’t know the timeline all that well).

Daft Punk is a featured artist in the new video game DJ Hero (spin off of the Guitar Hero franchise). They are actually selling a game that comes with a plastic turntable. (and you thought plastic guitars were lame).
I am a guitar hero fan, I own 2 plastic guitars and 3 GH games, and I have played a ton with my friends and family. I know some people think it dumbs down music for the masses and that it is pathetic. The fact that it is dumbed down is what makes it so great. I’m either too lazy or not talented enough to play the real guitar (probably both) but with guitar hero I can feel like an awesome Rock God (I can play most songs on hard mode and stay in the %90 accuracy range). Plus it is a lot easier than forming a real band (which I have been a part of, as a singer)
Anyways, I say all that because my first thought at hearing of DJ Hero made me think “that is lame and stupid”. Now I realize that it isn’t much different that GH, it just is an instrument that I’m not familiar with. It helps that I am a big Daft Punk fan.
The list of artists on the game is actually quite impressive. Beck, The Beastie Bous, Eminem, No Doubt, The Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, Motorhead, Weezer, 50 Cent, The Killers, and Queen. Just to name a few. It seems like the music will mostly be a bunch of mash-ups of various songs. A lot of Hip-Rop vs Rock. They actually have included a multiplayer mode that lets friend play the guitar while you use the turntable.
Sample clips of the songs can be seen on youtube.
Here is a link to the wikipedia page.

AND
I learned this on wikipedia.
In March 2009, it was announced Daft Punk was signed to write the score to the film Tron Legacy. At the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that the duo composed 24 tracks for the film.
Tron Legacy co-star Olivia Wilde also revealed in October 2009 that Daft Punk would make an appearance in the film and that the duo may be involved with future promotional events.

I heard about this one
It might be pretty cool. But, for me, the highlight of Tron was a single line that was almost certainly ad-libbed by Jeff Bridges.

I couldn't believe when I saw the that they were making another Tron movie
didn’t the first one come out in like 1981 or 82? Has there been a longer time between a movie and it’s sequel?
by sirbed on Oct 15, 2009 2:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
also
the main reason to make the movie is “wouldn’t those light cycles look sooooooo rad with modern special effects”. But their radness was already off the charts, so there’s not really any room for improvement.

Any improvements for Tron 2.0 over the original could be obtained much more inexpensively just by smoking a joint before watching.

The GH and Rock Band
games are so much fun. I love playing both. But I do feel like the GH franchise has become somewhat watered down since it seems like they’re releasing a new game every few months. I wasn’t planning on getting DJ Hero, but I suppose I’ll wait and see if it seems like fun.

I'm actually a pretty big fan of those types of games.
I’m not one of those snooty musicians who scoff and do the whole “if only they spent that time on a real instrument instead of a plastic video game” thing. I think it’s a great party game, and hey, it’s a great way of building finger dexterity and rhythm skills.

I'm still trying to figure out the drums
in Rock Band. But I’m all over the guitar…
by colin on Oct 16, 2009 9:06 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
A few things:
No pointer fingers. Tuck your index fingers under the stick, and keep the stick held between your thumb and the outward-facing side of your index finger’s middle section. Loosely. You don’t want everything to be tight and rigid. Use your middle, ring, and pinky just as a place for the stick to rest—don’t grip it with these fingers. The angle of your hands can vary, and they have names for different grips this angle produces, but I’d recommend the back of your hands facing out at a 45 degree angle (American grip).
With that grip, almost all of the stick action should come from the wrist. Your arms really shouldn’t be moving all that much.
Also, try not to lift the sticks too high. Keep it low, but let the stick bounce up naturally. Extra height is just wasted effort and time. I’d recommend trying to slowly alternate sticks (RLRLRLRL…) just trying to keep it even in both rhythm and volume. Ramp up the speed only when you feel comfortable with it.
I find that so much of drumming is a proper grip. The rest should come with practice, as you ramp up the difficulty, but the grip is really crucial, and as far as I know, not explained in Rock Band or Guitar Hero.

Any advice on the pedal?
I keep it down when not in use (which took me a while to get used to but it stopped my chin from hurting), but I just can’t keep up with pedal heavy tracks like most of the heavy metal stuff… which is sad because I love metal. I think my right foot doesn’t want to disassociate from my right hand.
I also can’t do a proper drum roll…
This is keeping me from moving onto the hard difficulty.
by DrDoom on Oct 16, 2009 10:41 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well, there's two main ways of playing the pedal:
Heel up or heel down. It’s really up to personal preference. It sounds like you’re doing heel up, which is where the leg motion comes from the hip, and you press down with the balls of your feet. Be sure to be pressing on the forward portion of the pedal (the part furthest away from you). Again, keep a quick and light stroke. For the faster ones, try adding a little ankle motion, which adds speed, but saps power.
You could also try heel down (or switch back and forth when you get tired) where your heel is always resting on the back portion of the pedal (closest to you). Use your ankle for the motion.
But to be honest, almost all of those metal drummers use a double bass pedal anyway. Attempting to do some of the insane ones with a single pedal is calf suicide.

heel up
A friend suggested this and it was a revelation for me. I couldn’t make it through even the easy songs playing heel down.
Thanks for the tips on gripping the sticks too.

I may try that
I think I keep my heel down now. With the heel up, do I put my weight on the ball of my feet when at rest? Do I turn the pedal around? Or do I just lift my whole foot when using the pedal?
by DrDoom on Oct 16, 2009 2:16 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
the pedal is pressed down
when you are in the rest position. So you rest your weight on the ball of your foot. Each time you need to hit the kick drum, you lift your foot up and immediately bring it down again.

I can imagine that it might have been irritating to people who were actually there at the time, but that’s just the usual pile of inaccuracies that goes along with any adaptation of real history. And I guess that the rest of the Germs were sufficiently ok with it that they went on tour with Shane West as their singer.
But it was cool for me, since I love the music but am pretty disconnected from the history, being born in 1980 and all.

But were he here right now, standing on my door step, I would not let him in.
Mainly because he died in 1972 and would most likely want to either feast on my flesh or swallow my soul, which really apparently isn’t too different than the way he was when alive.

Wow those are some great names
In the distant past known as the 1990’s I had a huge baseball card collection. They used to have a huge card show in San Francisco at the Moscone Center.
I used to drop about 50% of the money I made at my fast food job as a 15 year old on cards. My interest in cards started to fade when I found out you needed money to go on dates with girls but for a few years there it was a fun hobby.
Of course I gave away or got rid of 99% of my stuff and the only stuff I kept are the cards that aren’t worth anything except to me in a sentimental way.

Okay, so I'm flipping through the latest ESPN the Magazine,
The one with all the nude pictures in it. One of the articles is different ways that random athletes stay in shape, and one of them they interview is Joba Chamberlain, who says him and Posad and a bunch of other douches run every day through the concourses of wherever they are. Blah blah blah. Whatever, douche.
Then I look at the photo. The douche is running right in front of the Saag’s stand, behind section 118. I’m both happy and offended all in one.

Okay, I'm unsure where to register my disappointment,
so I’ll do it here.
I’m a fan of Ween. Not hugely so, but I really like some of their songs—they’re uneven and difficult ot get into on some stuff. Anyhow, one of the songs I really liked was “Voodoo Lady”…so recently, when I stumbled upon the massive collection of rarities and vinyl miscreants that Lux and Ivy from The Cramp collected together over a thirty period, I was massively disappointed to find out the main riff from “Voodoo Lady” is lifted directly from a song called “Taboo” by Arthur Lyman. Fucking Ween.

Beck built whole textured albums of beauty out of old samples of funky forgotten songs from the past.
