RCP TV IS ON THE AIR

Welcome to the first two episodes of RCP TV. The future is now! Well I guess techinically the past is now since all of these things already happened. I digress.

Get a beer, pop some corn, crank it up, sit back and relaaaaaaaaax. Don't be afraid to hit that fullscreen button. These are hosted on my vimeo account. They will soon have their own domain but for now...

Number One from RCP Zine on Vimeo.

Number One : This is an educational film explaining how quiet helps at school. Then a bunch of music types interrupt with a whole lot of noise. The hooligans in question include: We (are) the Living, Twenty-two Days, We Need to Talk, Hark!, and Baak Gwai. Now go sit in the corner dunce!

Number Two from RCP Zine on Vimeo.

Number Two: This is an abridged version of George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Did you know that you own the rights to that movie? It's true. You're almost tainting your life experience by not embracing it as your own. IT IS A PART OF ALL OF US! So I figured I would add my two cents and make it my own. Featuring: Strugglebear, Roman Gabriel Todd's Beast Rising Up Out of the Sea, justinbailey, THOU, and Mastodon.

More to come children...

Spongebob is Punk as Fuck

Stumbled across this little gem. Thought it was funny enough to post. Bye.

Long Lost Seven Inch Club #2

The Picts were a band that I first saw in Lake Charles when my band at the time played with them at the Third Coast Unity Festival. I believe they were originally from Shreveport but then relocated to New Orleans. While in New Orleans some members were part of Antarctica vs. the World. After Katrina left them scattered across the country they called it the infamous indefinite hiatus. Some went on to form Dead On.

I hadn't listened to this record in years before ripping it, but when I put it on I still remembered the lyrics and changes. 5 fast to the point songs about cops, jocks, and everything else in between, not that there's a huge gap between those two. Check it out!

Side A
Zero
F.O.P.

Side B
Follow the Leader
Prozac
Football

Scary A-Ha

Yeah. So as if this song wasn;t scary enough somebody decided to give me nightmares for the rest of my life and create this monstrosity. Apparently there's also a Scary Rick Roll and some others. Thanks Alex for destroying my mind.

Long Lost Seven Inch Club #1

I think the first record that really grabbed me was Household Name Records Number 5. The Kenmores's Potty Training on one side and the Griswalds's Legalize the Stupid e.p. on the other. I remember Brandon telling me that the Kenmores had a 7" and I of course had to have it. At this point all the records I had were from second hand shops or were bigger bands, but now a band from my town had a record? Wow! And the fact that there were 2 bands (!) on the same record. The concept of a split was totally foreign to me. But it made so much sense. I had never heard of the Griswalds. They were a band from England who are apparently still playing music which excites me to no end. One local band and another from England. My first split. I never thought $3 could change me the way it did.

So as far as I know these songs are lost. And that sickens me. So I decided I would rip them and make them available as the first installment of the Long Lost Seven Inch Club. I think one of the most important things in life is the punk rock 7 inch. I'm not entirely sure why they grab me the way they do, probably has something to do with the fact that they are usually about 3 bucks. This record was a pivotal part of the development of my musical tastes, so I would like to share it with you.
