damn, what songs did rza do when he came out with ghost? i cant go to sleep?
Posted by Anonymous | May 16, 2007 11:33 AM
he came out right when ghost was finishing his set. rza spit a couple of lines of wu-tang clan ain't nothin to f' wit. ghost even looked surprised that rza was there. it was just nice to see them there together, but ghost only performed about 6 songs, which was really sad considering it was an interlude between spank rock's set.

it was the hot shit

yeah, Ghost didn't perform many songs. But he was never billed as the headliner so I figured we would get a truncated set.

i still cant believe ghost was opening for spankrock...ghost is one the best rappers right now and spank rock is garbage. they should have been opening for him

that was such a good party. i danced the titties out my shirt.
Posted by jed | May 16, 2007 12:53 PM
jed, i enjoyed your titties. but licking your middle fingers and then flicking everyone in the crowd off seemed a little distasteful.
Posted by ass ass titties titties ass and titties | May 16, 2007 1:44 PM
Yeah Tittie Girl - them flap jacks kept comin' out. You need some support. Next time jus' leave them out and stop teasing. Your shoes were wack too. Too bad Spank and crew can't figgure out how to do Touch Me and Bump without Amanda.

I'm just surprised you didn't put your pocketbook down jed, looked uncomfortable.
When that other chick sat on Naeem, did she sit on his face?
Posted by hamgravy | May 16, 2007 4:24 PM
Hamgravy, yeah, i sat on his face alright. and it was great.

Julian Cope on Mac:
"I gots to tell y’all that when I heard the other day that the Bunnymen’s Ian McCulloch is writing his autobiography, I nearly shat my undies laughing so hard (good job I don’t wear any!); Ian Mac write a book? A man for whom completing a single song on his own is a struggle of Everest the Hard Way proportions is hardly going to write a book. Ian, I’m speechless at your continued arrogance in the face of no evidence whatsoever. In my opinion, you’ve been a dried-up shell of a husk of a man since just after OCEAN RAIN, so don’t embarrass us all with your ludicrous claims that you’re gonna write an autobiography. Two words… No Way. Writing a book involves discipline and hard work, two things you never nailed in the past and never will. As I heard it, you even said in the press that your book will be better than the Bible. Well, in two ways it may well be like the Bible: 1) it’ll be full of half-truths and outright lies, and 2) it’ll have been written by umpteen uncredited writers and you’ll name yourself solely as its author. There you go, dumkopf, I just handed you the map: don’t even bother buying yourself a pen, son; just do what you’ve always done throughout your career; get someone else to do most of the work then claim all the credit yourself. I even have a title already: MAC USER. And with that, I shall sweep off into the Beltane sunset. Yowzah!"
