ANOTHER WASTED AFTERNOON playlist

Here's the playlist from ANOTHER WASTED AFTERNOON, TestosterTunes Radio on 1650 AM in Philadelphia from Friday January 16. Live from Nexus Gallery at the Crane Building.

No more or less miserable than any other Friday afternoon. Highlights include free pints of draft beer and playing an all-request Workforce Block. Lowlights include being discouraged from using foul language, an inability to take your phonecalls on-air, and some dude trying to peak at my root when I used the men's room. The urinal in this place is on a stage in the middle of the room with spotlights cranked up to 10.

Anyway, we took some Eagles predictions... Overwhelmingly in favor of the Birds. The Net prediction is 256-49 Eagles.

Australia round-up..

Here's a wrap-up from the CLOCKCLEAN ER ARE AMERICAN SKINHEADS tour of Australia. This tour summary is not too exciting, but neither is Australia. Predictably, the native mates treated us like big-league cultural ambassadors from a truly first-rate land. The bushpigs? Well, they were wrapped in fine silks and offered as gifts to indulge our every desire. Let's just agree that the Chinese countries don't have a monopoly on geishas on the Pacific Rim.

Beyond their archaic views on women's rights, Australians are backward and retro in their adoration for the pop-singer called Pink and their steady whining about the American President called George Bush Jr. A stop in Australia is a lot like a 24-hour plane ride to the recent past. A recent past designed for weak babies. No one has cable, billiard balls are undersized, and no one can handle their liquor. In fact, they serve beer in little shot-glasses.

Anyway, here's some photos..

NAKED ON THE VAGUE in Sydney....



























An opening act in Perth...

















The Australian word for bird is "Magpie" and they're all fucking assholes.

Back in the USA

Well Cleaner is finished with Australia. Expect a real in-depth tour expose to be published on this very weblog. Highlights include words and pictures. Topics include chucking objects in the boot, whinging about magpies, and avoiding punishment and punishers.

For now, check out this youtube clip of the stupidest thing to ever happen on earth...

Checking in with Mike Robinson of FULLY COHERENT.....

Well it's been a real whirlwind of an early autumn. First the Philadelphia Phillies entered the playoffs, and then they won the World Series. The Philadelphia Phillies are the World Champions of Baseball.

In similarly thrilling news, CLOCKCLEAN ER breaks its hiatus with tour of Australia. Pry your eyes open for the Aus. release of BABYLON RULES and the tour single titled SKINHEADED LADY b/w HATE CITY. Another thing to buy soon is the READY 2 FIGHT 12" on Fan Death Records.



And peep this.. we checked in with Mike Robinson of FULLY COHERANT. In 2005 FC released a single titled "Feel Dead EP". Four songs of guitar and spite and paranoia and probably trash cans. Since then there's been a couple of live gigs and a lot of aborted plans as this maniac keeps up a fruitless search in the corny town of Austin, Texas for suitable sidemen..

TestosterTunes: Yo bro what’s new with Fully Coherant?
Mike: Nothing really. Ive been sick and bassplayr is going out of town. In nov I’m goimg to try and pull it together to play maxs thing. I told him wantd to headline one of the nights just to be a prick but I don’t think hes into that idea. I think its great unknown local band headlining, shit it could be someone else and I think it would be funny. Guess I have to ‘pay my dues’ and play a bunch of shitty shit first ha

Well I figured that wouldn’t be a problem. Aren’t you real popular in Austin?
Ha ha I guess. There is hype tho and that’s all u need. And ladies and the ladies do love me. All those slightly puddgy mutant punk women throw aways ha ha. People will eat up anything. Im unhindered by talent.

I’m in Atlantic City. Any advice for me?

Never been there. Casinos and ho’s!
When are we going to hear some new music?

Im matt muscling it up to make money to get the recording equipment for the next fc record. Otherwise its going to have buckets and shit and who wants that. Im going to get fat and a perm so they can call me reatard again

What r u doing there?

I’m at the roulette table trying to make enough cash to put out the next fc record

Ha ha once I make the cash to get the equipment il send u it.




You still on the night shift?

Nope. I do dinner now which is 4 to 11. Much better for my mind.

Do you get to listen to total chaos at work?

Ha ha if I wantd to. I got thru phases right now its 60s stuff. Use to rock cc and sst spot loved it.
Shit yeah, spot. I caught up with ginn a couple weeks ago.

Spot rules. I told john on how I tried to sell him on the idea of recording cc. He was sorta into it. Im eventually going to get him to do fc.
That guy recorded Jealous Again and New Day Rising. What makes you think he wants to monkey around with your one man band?

Duz obviously he knows we are austing first and last punk band and quality. Ha. Also ive spent 6 yrs hangin out with him at work, he loves the stuff and asks all the time when I’m playn again… Itl happen one day. I askd before and he seemed into it. Spot rules, a little weird but whatever.

What does he eat at the diner?

Whatever he wante man I don’t know. He fel off a stole drunk once and bustd his head open that was funny. That day he ate shit

So let’s be real. Is your new live band going to be better than the last one?

Of course. Instead of speed and booze I smoke weed and drink import beer.

Peace!

VEGETATIVE STATE !!!

Two-Thousand-Hate is finally here. What a goddamn relief. THIRD TUES DAY NIGHT MUSIC NIGHT resumes this week.. Jan 15 at Atlantis/The Lost Bar @ Frankford & Hagert Sts. in Philadelphia. Guest Jock Scott "Sully" Sullivan will show up this time around. Next month Jack Rose is threatening to show up and give a lesson on the later CHROME records..

More news to follow.. for now, here's an interview with VEGETATIVE STATE out of Columbus Ohio...

Questions answered by Tim the bass player and his boyfriend Jamal.


How long has VEGETATIVE STATE been a band?
A very early version of VS called the Problems formed in the fall of 2004. Our first guitar player was emo and hated all the music we liked so we kicked his stupid ass out. For a couple of months we practiced and managed to get pay to play shows with shitty emo bands at frat bars. It felt very isolating. It wasn't until we started playing with the Feelers that it got real interesting. We've had constant lineup changes on the guitar. Our second guitarist left because he wanted to play different music, but what the hell. We've been around for three years and have gotten the most done in the last year.

What's your favorite thing about Terry Shaivo?
When her story was all over the news, I was quite intrigued by it all. Her oblivious smile was really fucking funny, and it was just pathetic how the anti-choice and pro-death people used her as a piece of meat. Sell some papers, get the ratings, spread the venereal-like agenda. If they could exploit her, why can't we? I remember in the early days, we made a couple of posters of her with a carrot in her mouth and showed them to people. The only time they found it funny was if they were either drunk or under 16. but I have to say my favorite thing about her is that she was a good sport about it.

What’s your favorite non-hardcore record?
(Andrew)Closing Of Winterland 1978- Grateful Dead
(Adam) In The Aeroplane Over the Sea- Neutral Milk Hotel (Alex) The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn- Pink Floyd
(Ryan) Is This It?- the Strokes (Tim) Tie between "Live At Leeds" by the Who and "Daydream Nation" by Sonic Youth

What is your favorite part about having sex with your teacher?
Most of the teachers at my school are cunts but like many child molesters, we go tooling, but instead of little kids its teachers. Its great because you can talk about current events while the slut blows you instead of having to answer "of course you look ravishing" for the millionth time. If you're not careful, the whole situation can turn bad as in she'll want to call you the next day, and the whole thing will turn into a bad Lifetime movie. That's why you always have to give fake phone numbers. In this kind of work, you don't have time for "relationships". Keep on tooling for teacher anus.

VS plays shows with some pretty childish bands in Columbus. Do you ever feel too mature for your audience?
At first, we were real nervous about our crowd but after playing and going to so many shows, and meeting lots of people, it doesn't feel as bad anymore. Its funny because a lot of the older people in the Columbus "scene" attempt to teach us life lessons but those people are either drunk or have the humor of a 16 year old. It’s still nice though. The childish people are the fucking hipster douches that show up sometimes with their scarves and "ironic" shirts. They are just too cool to notice us as they sit at the bar drinking whatever piss they picked that night. They are there just to be seen and look cool. We can see right through your plastic mac.

Isn't there some beef between you and that guy from CLOCKCLEAN ER? What the fuck dude?
He was just jealous of my DRI tattoo. It was the Four of A Kind album cover that was on my arm. Some people are just a little envious. And they didn't even make out with me. That felt like a slap to the face. Now I know how Tu Pac felt when Biggie betrayed him. This will end being bigger than Tu Pac and Biggie or Oasis aand Blur. Its your choice o' cleaners of the clock. Next time you cowpokes are in deez here parts, expect a bucket of fresh jenkem to splatter you. We have the technology. Lulz.

Ever gang-banged the librarian?
That's kind of fantasy for me. A sultry siren of a librarian asking me if I needed "reference" material, while I ask her if she wants to see my Dewey decimal system. Very horrorshow. We could add them on with the teachers. You know you've come far when you used to attack homeless drunks but now you fuck librarians.

Is it tough being the best band in your high school?
Two of us go to an all boys school which means no pussy, no fun, but most importantly, no culture. Music is Jack Johnson and Dave Matthews and the guitar is a novelty toy. The bands at the other schools are all fucking awful, and whenever we play our singer's school, people just clear the room. But when the pretty boy Emo fags start playing, the place is packed. Its always funny seeing all the girls taking pictures of those bands to put on their myspace. In the meantime we yell shit about towelheads and get called racists because everything is foamwrap PC nowadays. But I know that we are doing something different and being rejected for it while they play this asinine 2000's Hair Metal. at least we can say we've played with a shitload of our favorite bands and those are the bands they'll be writing books about. Hair Metal of the 2000's will the fodder as as many jokes as 1980's hair metal. But I hope we can be at most a footnote.

What VEGEATATIVE STATE records can suckers buy?
Our first 7 is down to 45 copies that you can get from us, and a couple of distro sites might have it.

Any new ones on the way?
Our new album "Basement Mantra" is done and you can get on CdR from us at shows but it should be out in the near future on Parts Unknown. Viva la Knotts!

Oh Right. Whats with Vegetative State and Don Knotts? We wanted our own Eddie, so we resurrected the corpse of Mr. Knotts. He is our spiritual leader and drinking buddy.

Hey readers, here's what's been keeping the office abuzz. Reviews of records written by the staff. Scroll down to see what we've got to sell.

HOME BLITZ 45 rpm 7inch single

Retarded teenage sounds. Probably not made by a teenager. Assuredly made by one dude all by himself. This shit swings like high school desperation. Like if you can play all the rock instruments and cut a record maybe she’ll let you get a grip on her shit. The mailorder department working out a deal to stock this title.


HOMOSTUPIDS “the Glow” ep 45 rpm 7inch single

Distorted nihilist shit that is totally ready to hit the fan. Ready to knock shit the fuck DOWN. They know how to let a dude spit fire and tarter sauce into a mic and when to let a guitar fucking breathe man. For real you, the speakers will rattle when the band starts, but they’ll try and strangle you when the vocals kick in. We liked this one so much we got a limited number to sell through the mail. We liked it so much that we’re releasing a record by the group called “the Brutal Birthday” ep.

Well those are our reviews this time around, folks. Maybe next time we'll tell you about the Sex Pistols. No Feelings and all that. We're working out deals to release music by the PROFOS and KISS, so stay tuned as that develops.
