THE UPTONES
The Minks
La Muneca Y Los Muertos


The Minks were good. The Uptones were fantastic. The sound on these clips sucks, but in person it sounded so good.


I cannot wait to see them again.

It was just ridiculously cold, but I still had a great time. This slideshow has every still photo I took which wasn't terrible. Soundtrack by The Skataliites, of course!

I don't like BEP

originally uploaded by milesgehm. They have covered the Dick Dale version of MISERLOU. Covered it in smelly donkey crap. I oppose the death penalty on principle. I'd make an exception for them. WTF!

I really really hate this song. Don't buy their music. If you hear it coming out of a speaker, you should shoot the speaker or stab it with a pencil. Over and over again. Don't let you children think this is music.

Clearly we have. Still having fun though!

A copy of a little video I made over the summer. Chris, Eddie, and Xavier are doing most of the skating. The music is by Fabulous Disaster, one of my favorite bands. Pissed off punk chicks from San Francisco.

Also available on my video podcast for CSP (Campbell Skate Park)

Music this weekend

Tonight I'm going to The Bottom of the Hill for the Stray Cats Tribute CD release and The Phenomenauts, after Dmitri's resignation beer and pizza blowout.

 

Tomorrow there is a reggae festival at the Cow Palace which starts at 3:30 PM.  It is called Raggamuffin.  I think I'll go to see this one guy who is a Hassidic Jew from West Chester, Pennsylvania.  I've seen his video on MTV and the music is rocking rasta roots reggae.  Very weird.

 

 

Maximum respect,

 

Miles

This is from THE LIST.

 

The 2 shows which got 3 stars (***) are in red.

The other show is in red because of the venue (Luna's Mufflers in San Jose!)

 

I will probably go to see The Phenomenauts at the Bottom of the Hill, which is a great club, on Friday.

The show at the muffler shop on Saturday is pretty tempting too.

 

See you down front.

2/12/2006 Sunday afternoon around 4 PM in Campbell California at the Campbell Skate Park (CSP). Kids going over the corner of the hip structure. Towards the end, I show up doing my 2 footed nose wheelie/manual thing. Lots of fun. The song is Stepping Stone covered by The Untouchables.

On Friday, 1/27/2006, The Blank Club was the site of Monkey's 10th Anniversary show. Opening were NVS, FTB, and Firme. There were lots of former members of Monkey in attendance, and the club was packed. This is a slideshow of the stills I took. There is some video which isn't ready for release yet.
