Breadfan	posted 2/3/05 3:39 AM     Awesome Metroland article! I loved the Budgie mention. I didn't realise that Ike was such a big Venom fan, though?! It must have been Mantas on the back of "Black Metal" astride a customised Honda Gold Wing. As I recall Biff from Saxon had a Gold wing too! Coincidence?! Is there a Honda Gold Wing( they have a reverse gear!) in Ike's future? I'd like to think so! Get that full length recorded, Please! I'm dying to hear it! Anyway... gotta go there's a turnstile to Bangkok I gotta slip sideways through, or something... Is that a song?
Plessy vrs Cookie Puss	posted 2/4/05 6:28 PM       Yeah-Congrats on the positive article, guys. Although I admit that Im kind pissed that Ike didnt mention a situation 18years ago- when I closed the automatic windows in my car and accidently pinched his fingers really hard..Hmm, that was strange he didnt bring it up..maybe it was edited out?Oh well, its too late now....just forget about it..dont worry about it,man..whatever...uhh,nevermind....geeze..
Plessy vrs Maynard the Clown	posted 2/4/05 7:43 PM       Maybe just the car window incident was mentioned in some subliminal way, but Ive read this long article probably 200 times over and over now-Ive read it Frontward- Backwords-Sideways{ bangcock?}and Ive studied and deciphered it in ancient Latin, Ive used celtic numerology intensely searching for any semblance of "the window incident"- I even used the freakin davinci code..and ya know what-It just boils down to -Ya' bring a niggah up, and then they break ya off some disrespect. Anyway..just forget about it..it's ok..no,really..dont worry about it.. http:// www.chud.com The bloodthursty venegence of Uncle Jeff
Willi Messerschmidt	posted 2/5/05 11:54 PM     Hey there, Plessy, I didn'r realise that you're budding philoligist(I think that's the correct word!). It's great to have hobbies, it keeps the brain healthy, supple, and able to wow family and friends on the big money Jeopardy questions. The article was cool, but I noted a little too much mention of time. If one was at a rock-a-billy or a punk show would the author have made as much mention of the temporal? Does good music have an expiration date? Are the new sounds really that fresh or just the same old rancid derivative shit it that's always been there. I guess it's fresh if there's a computer onstage or at least 2 turntables?! marshall law, I declare it. Stukas over dancehalls... Fuck digital, we need a vinyl solution!
Vic Van	posted 2/7/05 0:52 AM     I was alerted by one of my denizens that there was a new article in the Metroland about the Blades, so I had to find it on the Internet. I no longer have easy access to the Metroland for I do not live in the caPITal region any longer. And, yes, life is good in Vic Van's world. Here's to a great article guys . . . I guess some woodsheding has payed off. Cheers

Blott Sargeo	posted 5/9/05 7:34 AM     Any more press on the band since the Metroland one? Is there a valid fanzine scene anymore? Post anything that's written as a lot of us have little or no access to the stuff outside the website. We live/dwell so far away... Ah... for some Ralph's or Bob-n-Ron's...
The Barf Of Trudy Scarf	posted 5/10/05 4:51 AM       OhYeah- CONGRATS BLB on the new/latest Metroland show review-{latest issue: May- something}-Hey Chris-You should set up a section/scrapbook on all of BJB's write ups- cause they are snowballing..Usually I say screw the critic's-but the reviews/reviewer's that ive read on you guy's are pretty humorous and left in awe- like you ripped their balls off and crammed them up their asses- and they LIKED IT!!!
Vein Jane's Brother #2	posted 5/11/05 5:46 AM     Yeah! C'mon will ya! Don't bogart the press. Enquiring minds wanna know! Those of us off the radar need love too! We wanna feel like we got our fingers on the pulse of BJB developments.
Chinese Rocks	posted 5/26/05 5:52 AM     Hey Ike, is it true that you're taking guitar lessons over the internet from Saint Vitus guitarist David Chandler? Are you trying to get back to your Chinese wail roots? When it comes to Chinese wail DC is one of the best, although Greg Ginn is no slouch. Good luck with it! It would be great to hear some shaolin or Taoist influences creep through into your playing again.
Blind Willie Holstein	posted 5/28/05 7:16 AM     Lay off the Chinese stuff, man. Ike is one of the tri-city area's foremost blues guitarists. He used to jam with Scottie Mack and Smoke Henderson, plus lived down the hall from CoCo Montoya. The guy's the real deal,legit. I don't know who this Chandler guy is but it sounds bogus. Ike CAN play the blues!

Meso Hornay	posted 5/29/05 2:47 AM     I heard Ike and Ju Ju are performing at Chinese Buffet ($5.95 all you can eat). At first they were told "you no good" by Jimmy Chan. But when John R bought a gong, the deal was sealed. Hey, it ain't the Whiskey, but $75 a night and all the Scorpion Bowls and unlimited Moo Goo Gai Pan who would argue ???? I even heard they do a mean version of "Turning Cantonese". They even have a Ju Ju Platter for two. I heard it has Fritos on it. As a result, Ike drives a Hyundai, Doug only drinks Tsing Tao, OP will star in Kill Bill 3, and Rippers has published a book Hikau Poems. We really can all get along....
Dustin Nyguyen	posted 5/29/05 3:58 PM     To reach the Western Lands is to achieve freedom from fear. Do you free yourself from fear by cowering in your physical body for eternity? Your body is a boat to lay aside when you reach the far shore, or sell it if you can find a fool... it's full of holes...it's full of holes. I want to reach the Western Lands-- right in front of you, across the bubbling brook. It's a frozen sewer-- it's known as the Duad remember? All the filth and horror, fear hate, disease and death of human history flows between you and the Western Lands. Let it flow! My cat Rin Gaudine stretches behind me on the bed. A tree like white lace against a gray sky. A flash of joy. How long does it take a man to learn that he does not, cannot want what he "wants?" You have to be in Hell to see Heaven. Glimpses from the Land of the Dead, flashes of serene timeless joy, a Joy as old as suffering and despair. The old writer couldn't write anymore because he had reached the end of words, the end of what can be done with words. And then? "British we are, British we stay." How long can one hang on in Gibraltar, with the tapestries where mustached riders with scimitars hunt tigers, the ivory balls one inside the other, bare seams showing, the long tearoom with mirrors on both sides and the tired fuchsia and rubber plants, the shops selling English marmalade and Fortnum & Mason's tea...clinging to their Rock like the rock apes, clinging always to less and less. In Tangier the Parade Bar is closed. Shadows are falling on the mountain.
Harwang Chung	posted 5/29/05 3:59 PM     A (very) quick and dirty outline coins the term "Orientalism," which is the idea that the Orient is a construction made by the West. It asserts that "the Orient" isn't even real but is instead a collective about which blanket assumptions and ascriptions are made. It is defined in negative terms: not white, not Western, not civilized. Orientalism does not take individual nationalities or cultures into account: Turkey = China = India = Pakistan. "Orientals" are exotic, wild, overly sexualized, etc. The reason Orientalism is wrong (according to Said) is that the people who are assigned as members of "the Orient" are given no choice about how they are perceived and defined by the West. It's pretty much a call to deconstruct (read: analyze and pick apart, sometimes to death) stereotypes pertaining to people from various "Oriental" cultures.
Sir Richard Francis Burton	posted 6/1/05 6:35 AM     Or you could say that over time the "Orient" simply refers to what we've long since dubbed the Eastern/Asian part of the world, stripped of any political meaning, and the West/Europe/America is the "Occident". Is the term Occidental that offensive? Haven't all ethnic groups been accused of being oversexed at one point or another(barring the British of which my heritage, or the bulk thereof lies!)? And is it such a terrible thing? Assuming you're good at it?
Cecil Kirby	posted 6/1/05 6:55 AM     Having lived in SE Asia, or the Orient, for the last three months and off and on over the last few years, all I can say is that it's a heck of a good time! Better than Vorheesville or Watervliet even, if ya can believe it. The food is good, the water is warm, and the chicks are hot. What else do ya need? You can smoke in bars, drink on the street without getting hassled by the man. Ya don't need much money and there's no DWI worries 'cause you're walking or taking tuk-tuks. In the USA for a country that talks so much about freedom and shit, we have an awful lot of laws and restrictions. I guess ya gotta read the stuff at the bottom of the page of the Constitution, or something.
Sammy Slanteye	posted 6/3/05 8:24 PM     What's up with all the gook talk ? A simple comment about Ike's penchant for Chink Wail (I think the offerer was reminiscing about "Mysery" by Ju Ju) and the next thing you know we are reading about how Thailand is a better place to live than the USA ! Give me a friggin' break. I for one support the rights of Americans to have clean air and not be rundown by some drunk that spent his pay check on Marlboros and $1.00 drafts at Harold's Office. You can keep your skanky little $5 trick turning, rick shaw pulling, rice paddy slaving, eggroll filling, turquoise jewelery wearing, Vapors listening, dog eating, cock fight betting, Pearl Harbor bombing, .30 / hour wage making country my commie friend. I'll be at teh China Buffet listening to Ju Ju and eating General Tao's Chicken. On a lighter note, who the hell is General Tao's anyway. Maybe KFC shoould come out with The Stormin' Norman Bucket of Whoop Ass. Afterall, they are featuring Skynrd in their commercials.
Mao Tse Tung(the so called...)	posted 6/4/05 6:59 AM     You're one angry American dude, huh? Still bitter about the Great Freedom spreading US of A's ignominious defeat in Vietnam, the selfless heroics of Corporal J. Rapp notwithstanding? Or The Japanese car company's triumph over Detroit? Don't get me wrong... I like existing on nothing but Buffalo style wings and mozzarella sticks, shovelling snow, sitting at bars surrounded by overweight guys with baseball caps and bad mustaches bitching about 'the old lady', as much as the next guy, but if this is communism, bring on the Cultural Revolution and Little Red Book, Baby! Rock it hard for Mao, one time! General Tso's Chicken is also known as Orange Chicken and is an Americanised version of an old Chinee dish, I believe. Stay off the MSG(and I ain't Michael Schenker!), brother. It's bringin' ya down. And remember Chinese people never swear...
Unlucky Tourist	posted 6/4/05 3:57 PM     Sorry, but as reluctant as I am at agreeing with Foo Man Chu , I must admit that he is correct on a lot of issues. For a society that talks a lot about freedom, it really is an arbitrary, authoritarian society in which all its citizens have to question and prove everything with very little resources. Just look in your junk draw, are all those letters really valid bills with extra charges and promotional crap really worth all of your time or just to muck you up and burn you out. But my credit report, my credit report . . . You should always support your country and watch your Government. And I used to eat the General's chicken too, until I realized that i'm not so sure what it is? Just pick it apart. Maybe that was good enough for the General's army, but I wouldn't go there. Now I call it "mystery meat." And I know once I had some "chicken" in SF and I can tell you that I do believe it was Vole--you know rat.The other red meat. You can take just about any small mammal stick it overnite in salt water and it all turns white, marinate it and voila--its tasty,inexpensive and is pretty good when you got the munchies and are half drunk when there's not a Big Doms in site, well you know how it is. I still eat Chinese food, but now just barbequed spare ribs they're harder to disquise, maybe fried rice and an egg roll if I'm feeling really daring. These Chinese have been marinating everything for thousands of years, it all tastes like chicken. Sorry but Japanese food blows it away. If you guys can gather a few more sheckels some nite, try it you'll like it. I swear it gets you high. Also recommended is Korean BBQ, it smokes.
Debbie Taunt Daisey	posted 6/4/05 4:31 PM     The East sucks. East Coast. Far East. Northeast. Easter. Easter Island. I know. I been there. They are all stupid & ugly. Thier food sucks. Thier weather too. I'm beautiful like my friends. Were the best.
Paris Hilton's (understudy)	posted 6/4/05 6:05 PM     How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people. . ? Now that you know who you are. . . What are you going to be. . ? Maybe your a bitch man ,Maybe your a bitch man. . Maybe your a bitch man.Tooo Have you seen these new girls, they don't use any birth control and they eat all the steak. . .
Ricky Roundeye	posted 6/6/05 12:13 AM     Wasabi is like crack! Food as a thrill ride, very cool indeed. Chinese food is very hit or miss. If ya find a good one, stick with it. Kind of like pizza. Wow, 3-4 entries without any hate speak,a new record! I hate to think what would be written if I was living in Nigeria! Let the ids run riot...
Chang Kai Sheckstein	posted 6/6/05 3:12 PM     Oh Vay and a rousing Herro to you all ! I agree that the once mysterious and enjoyable food from our Chinese friends has slipped. You can get a gook fix every five feet these days. Not like in the old days when there was Jack's and The Golden Dragon. Jack's went down the shitter when Uncle Fu git indicted and rumor has it that OP (of Black Ju Ju )did a stint at the Dragon. I heard he made a mean Suffering Bastard. Sushi sure beats a soggy and greasy Pu Pu platter in my book although I like to bitch slap the sushi guy first and scream "Remember Pearl Harbor you bastard, and this tuna better be fresh" ! But given the choice, I'll take a good old American steak with fries and a frosty brew. Speaking of brew, what's up with all these gay fruit beers by these so called "micro brewers". Overpriced crap is what I think. Is there really a better brew than Dinkel Aker ? The Germans seem to know how to make cars and brew. I heard Beck's is coming out with a Heinrich Himler Summer Wheat. I heard they are sponsoring the Jew Jew summer tour.
Akira Ifukube	posted 6/8/05 5:38 AM     Fruit beers can be very refreshing,Was Nagasaki worth remembering?
Laloc(King Of The Mole People)	posted 6/8/05 6:16 AM     It takes a big man to cop to enjoying an icy shandy or a Belgian Lambic. Still it does smack of wine cooler, and what dude would get caught dead drinking one of those? But face it, we're living in the era of the metrosexual male, so go ahead, feel free to get pedicures, slather yourself with skin creams from Macy's, use depilatories with little or no remorse, prune, pluck it's OK, no one will think that you're gay. Feel free to be the little flower you always secretly imagined yourself to be. You won't be persecuted or condemned(we have laws to protect you!). And if you want to be gay, or just appear so, do it, man! It's a Brave New World. Male Make Up, it's a reality, and about time too!(Please note the sardonic quality implicit to the above statement). When I eat middle eastern food I shout "Black September", "Munich '72" and "Remember 9-11". Indian food: "Remember the Cawnpore Massacre" and "Black Hole Of Calcutta!" Korean BBQ: "Remember the Chosin Reservoir and the Yalu River!" German food: "Auschwitz, Auschwitz, Auschwitz!" Russian food: "Gulag, Gulag!" French food: "Collaboration, Vichy France!" Cuban food: "Go ahead, rape the oceans!" Spanish food: "Remember the Maine!" and "San Juan Hill!" British food: "Saratoga, Saratoga!" and "Take That, Burgoyne!" Italian food: "Me No Wanna Fight!" Jewish food: "My God! $7.00 for a Poor Boy Reuben!" South African food: "Biko, Biko" and "Chief Buthelasie!" Southern food: "Remember the Kings(Martin and Elvis)!" Upstate NY food: "Attica, Attica!" and "Set Me Up With A Cold Brew And A Snakebite, Sweet Thing!" As you can see, I spend a lot of time yelling, but hey, in a service industry, a loud voice gets results, fast.
Slithis(The Monster Of Weed)	posted 6/16/05 11:18 AM     I shouted "Remember the Alamo" at a Mexican restaurant once. I forgot that that wasn't too cool. They put a bunch of hot stuff on my food and it totally burned my mouth. They spoke to me in another language(Mexican?) and pretended that they didn't understand me and even put some fruit in my beer. I'll never eat there again. Plus they tried to get me to eat some flan stuff for dessert! What the hell was up with that? I read some entries where people were talking about Japanese food, but I'm too scared to try it. I might get Ginsued or something!
RnR Outlaw	posted 8/2/05 1:55 AM     american grub is no1 and that OP dude sounds like a pencil neck pillow biter. Eat american!
OP Rules	posted 8/2/05 1:41 PM     A note to the "Outlaw": It's time to come to grips with where you are in life. You can only suckle at your mother's teets for so long. Sure it sucks that Uncle Bob used your rectum as his personal love tunnel, but that was years ago and he is dead now. And while M-16 kept their homosexual tendencies fairly discreet, you were seen more than once getting double teamed by the band you so admire. Were you not told that M-16 was a code used by their roadies to only look for Male (M) fans under 16 ? I understand your hatred for Ju Ju and OP in particular. They are the polar opposite of all things homo. Maybe OP shouldn't have beaten you with a tire iron for wearing a belly shirt to the Battle of the Bands but most agree that you deserved it. So let's fess up about all the bullshit references to Hemis, Harleys, and Hotties. We all know you sit at home double fisting Twinkies, listening to Cinderella, while waiting for mom to throw you the keys to her 1984 Reliant K. What type of legacy is that ? Meanwhile, Ju Ju is still a legend that won't quit. So go see the Dukes of Hazard movie for the 23rd time so you can burn Johnnie Knoxville's image into your mind. And remember what Mom said; "Be sure to turn away when that harlot Daisy Duke comes on the screen." P.S. OP is going to snap your neck like a friggin' willow branch of you call him a pillow biter. Have a nice day.
Maury Amsterdam Rules	posted 8/3/05 4:18 AM     Q- What's so bad about being called a pillow biter? The outlaw simply stated that this OP person sounded like one. But it sounds like he probably isn't one. Who's right? Why would someone want to bite a pillow anyway? Sounds pretty gross.
The Supreme Mel Cooley !	posted 9/6/05 0:34 AM     Enough ball jugglin'. Lets talk about some iron horses laying out the major heavy weight tunage! What's goin' on? When is some righteous product gonna be up on the block? No more disco dancin' around. Take off the dress leather and don the Judas! Record, produce, and play shows! No friggin' lame excuses about the weather or a bad knee or some sorry shite. Crawl outta the rehearsal space and lay out the rock! Can ya do it? Can ya do it, Elvis?! Don't pull a Pat Lydon(I think I know what it is!). Live for the wail, wail it live! Don't be a nurse, Ike!
The Ghost Of Gilligan	posted 10/7/05 2:10 AM     Come on, ya guys! When's the new stuff comin' out? Quit the simulation, put down the digital cable remote, the chromium on the MC's can survive a day or two without polishing, the kids, wives, girlfriends can go without watering for a little while. A lot of us are more interested in YOUR songs and less so in the cover stuff. I'll take "Rory" or the LA song over "Mama Kin" any day. Call me crazy, but familiarity often breeds(!) contempt. I suppose that comes off as a bit harsh, but so what. I care, ya know, and expect a lot from ya's. Don't disappoint...
