I call it Arcane Oddities. I sell fossil & minerals specimens; sterling silver and hematite jewelry; gemstone points, spheres and skulls. I sell at rock/gem shows and flee markets( which can be very trying as I deal with people who think everything is a dollar or less). I found some groups on myspace as well as some people who showcase/promote their business. So now I do not feel so mercenary as to put this information out. .... ..

I seen Biohazard as many times I seen Metallica. Alot of the places I saw them are gone. The last time was at the WSOU 10 Year Anniversary Show.

...It was funny when Fear Factory got airplay on mainstream rock stations with their cover of "Cars".
The NYC station was giving away tickets and the DJ would ask the winner if they ever have gone to a FF show. The winner always said no, to which the DJ would reply" just be careful".

Neil Young is a true man of conscience. He speaks as much even if it is againist the popular politics of the time.He is not an aging out of hippy out of touch. Infact he is offern the man wide awake while most of us are a sleep.
Lydia Lunch is another and like Neil Young will stand her ground and speak her conscience. We need more like them.....<41XXVFm8h64pbf3ndK= target="_blank"><5Vv2z5iZtbrFa== target="_blank">....<11kF43AM5hAhN8 target="_blank">..<0h1X8iMnWAKW86VsA target="_blank">Rollins Band*........

I first saw VHOKB at the LimeLight after reading about them in the East Coast Rocker(a Jersey published free newspaper). I then saw them as many times as I saw Biohazard and Metallica. At about the same time. I saw them at CBCG's, one of the few times I went there.
The last time I saw VHOKB was at BB KIng's on the now very family friendly 42nd Street. Man it was so weird to see all those downtown kids uptown in a overpriced tourist trap...<6Hx1i3V60Ge5M34A5= target="_new">
The White Stripes........I list White Zombie apart from Rob Zombie because as a group they rocked!! I remember seeing their early video on both Headbangers Ball and 120Minutes just before the whole Beavis&ButtHead thing. One of the craziest nights I had at the LimeLight was going to see White Zombie during a Febuary blizzard!

....this film scared the living Hell of me. The Muntants peeling off their skin as they worshipped a Nuclear Bomb. Brutal deaths of all the main characters. The final nuclear holocaust set off by a dying Charlton Heston. A cold grim voice telling we the viewers that our unimportant little planet in dead!The damned thing was rated G!!!*

I like Casino more then Goodfellas which is a very good film. In Casino the characters are less likable but far more compiling as is all the plot twists.*......

Eli Wallach ROCKS........

....You have to see the original Japanese language verson of Godzilla. It is dark, tragic and timely. Superior to even the best American atomic monster movie.
By the way, Godzilla is not a metaphar for the Bomb. Godzilla IS the physical manifestion of the Bomb!
