When life deals you crabapples, make crabapple jelly!

I wonder if that's true. It's just too perfect.

I'm sure a lot of y'all are Netflix subscribers. Has your turnaround time sucked lately? I used to be able to mail discs back on Monday and have new ones on Wednesday, but the process takes most of a week now. They tryin'a slow me down, yo.

This is why I asked if Nicolas Cage is on crack.

Who's got some Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. to send me? The only tune I have is "Another Body Murdered" with Faith No More from the Judgment Night soundtrack. But I saw them on the second stage at Lollapalooza '92, and they were so awesome. They're 300-lb. Samoans with prison tattoos and a live band, rapping about killing policemen.



Another cool group I saw on that stage was Sharkbait. They were this weird industrial band with tribal beats and shit, as I remember. I do know that they had all these old washtubs and stuff in the pit and threw drumsticks for the crowd to drum on them with. That's the only drumstick I ever caught at a show, but I have no idea where it is now. (Even if I found it, I wouldn't be able to tell it from the sticks I have left over from 7th-grade band.) I remember they had this big gun-like thing that shot smoke, and they were screaming "fuck me up" as they blasted smoke at each other. They did a pretty cool cover of "Helter Skelter" too.

Perhaps the worst thing about growing up in the '80s is that when I think of the song "Helter Skelter," I often hear the Motley Crue version in my head rather than the original. How sad is that?

Is Sharkbait from San Francisco, by any chance?

Yeah, I think so! I had a friend in Portland who used to see them quite a bit, and I'm pretty sure I can remember his mentioning SF in connection with them.

Subterranean Records has a few of their albums, including one called Blowtorch Facelift.
