The Perfect American DIY 7"
Our Favorite Band! s/t 7" (Praxis, 1982)
Here is another one I bought blind. I'm in a thrift store for battered women, digging through the records and checking out the chicks (no no no no no give me a god damn break. It was just too horrible of a joke to pass up). I find this little thing in a tattered cover. Look at the cover and see two guys sitting in a car. Look at the back, two guys are still sitting in a car, and they have kinda long hair, and there is a little state of Louisiana circled below. Label says 1982. Record is beat to shit. Awww what the hell. At the very worst it will be a bad spend of a buck. I walk to the counter, lay my dollar down and tell the girl, "There's more where that came from..." and slither out the door.
I go home and slap this puppy on the turntable. Oh my god! Distorted guitar and stand up bass, no drums and it is a raw, smoking rockabilly tune worthy of Cramps/Hasil worship. Second song is a slow one and damn it if this couldn't be the Gibson Brothers. Look at the label again. 1982. Shit, this predates the Gibs by five or so years. Flip it over and weirdness crawls out of the groove. Some kinda reverb flooded, bell soaked creepiness about the Atlanta Child Murders oozes out of the speakers! Now I am really excited. Really really excited. And the ep ends with some kinda Modern Lovers meets the Only Ones meets Alex "Flies on Sherbert" Chilton power popper.
Baton Rouge's Our Favorite Band! made the perfect American DIY 7"! There is not a god damn thing wrong with it and the only reason it is an unknown is because of the heavy Killed By Death bias among punk collectors, which is doubly dumb because one of these guys was in Toxin III!

وداع نيللي

but nobody knowD'avoir prévu ma mort depuis l'âge de quinze ans ne m'a protégée de rien cet hiver-là; j'étais comme mon grand-père qui est mort à cent un ans dans des grimaces de défi lancé au monde invisible qui voulait s'en emparer. Au dernier moment dans sa chambre d'hôpital où enfants et petits-enfants l'entouraient, il s'est relevé en hurlant, il s'est accroché les doigts tordus par la rage au bras de mon père en fixant le plafond. Plus tard mon père a dit qu'en expirant il avait eu l'air d'un exorcisé, il a dit que mon grand-père avait peut-être trompé toute la famille en proférant la parole du Diable et non celle de Dieu.

The Ten Best Lines From the Would-Be Obama Assassin’s Video Manifesto
- By Dan Amira
Ever since he was identified as the gunman who shot at the White House in an apparent assassination attempt on President Obama, many have wondered who this Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez is, and what motivated him. Conveniently, Ortega-Herandez filmed an audition tape for Oprah in September which also serves as something of a manifesto. The Idaho native, who is dressed in what appears to be a televangelist Halloween costume, makes no mention of President Obama in the video. But he does devote large chunks of time to the topics of competition, guardian angels, marijuana, and his role as mankind's messiah. In other words, it was a weird video. Since you probably don't have twenty minutes to spare, we've plucked out the ten best lines.
10. "When humans party, they party hard."
9. "If we don't have to die no more, than why would we measure time?"
8. "Just yesterday I got took into jail for something ridiculous: Because my dogs weren't displaying their tags."
7. "I believe that everybody has a guardian angel that is a past relative that controls every human's thoughts."
6. "I think the reason why we don't have inventors nowadays is because everybody is getting caught in these partying club lives, etcetera, or with females, or just too caught up in their jobs, because the economy sucks."
5. "God has spent a lot of his time on me, by just guiding me through life and making sure I have experienced almost everything there is to experience as a human being."
4. "Another ridiculous law is for fighting, when the majority of the fights are fought for legitimate reasons, like to get respect or to teach a lesson to someone."
3. "It's not just a coincidence that I look like Jesus — I am the modern-day Jesus Christ that you all have been waiting for."
2. "Please understand that I am totally sober right now and I will willingly pass a drug test for you."
1. "God gave us everything we need to live and enjoy life, like food to fuel, water to hydrate, sex for fun, horses for long-term transportation, and marijuana to inspire, and thrive, etcetera, for bigger and better things.
