Euroboy de Turbonegro con cancer

El guitarro de los legendarios death punkers noruegos Turbonegro, Knut "Euroboy" Schreine fue diagnosticado con cancer lymphomano en marzo 2008 y esta sometido a un tratamiento de quimoterapia el 14 de cada mes. Hace unos meses, CHCKN, el legendario guitarrista de los pioneros del punk en Orange County, D.I., tambien fue diagnosticado con cancer. Esperamos que ambos se recuperen pronto de sus respectivas enfermedades.

Society System Decontrol Beef

Yo pienso que los grupos punk de los 70s y 80s no hacen nada malo con reunirse en el nuevo siglo XXI y tocar para los que no tuvimos la suerte de nacer para ese tiempo. Gracias a eso, he podido ver algunos de mis grupos favoritos como Angry Samoans, 7 seconds, Adicts, Adolescents, Vibrators, New York Dolls, entre muchos otros. Se que muchos de estos grupos, tienen como mucho entre 1-3 integrantes originales y que son personas de 40 años o más tocando canciones que escribieron cuando eran unos adolescentes. Pero al menos no es como el concierto de Sham 69 en Madrid para noviembre de 2007, que era Dave Parsons en la guitarra como único integrante original y los demás eran impostores. Lo peor no es eso, es que no estaba el legendario frontman de los Sham, Jimmy Pursey. Para mi, si falta el cantante pierde esencia el grupo. Viendo un blog me encontré una carta de odio del guitarrista y fundador de SSD, Al Barrile, advirtiendo a la gente que cualquier show anunciado de SSD en el 2008 no era real, porque solo era "Springa", cantante, como único integrante original y los "SSD" reales no forman parte de ese proyecto. Tampoco es como pasó con TSOL en sus últimas etapas que se quedaron sin integrantes originales y Joe Wood (cuñado de Jack Grisham) continuó la banda así. Bueno aquí les dejo ver la carta de Al Barrile sacada del Double Cross Webzine:

There is absolutely no truth to any speculation that SSD will be performing this summer. The fact is original vocalist David Spring "Springa" is assembling a band of hired guns to tour and rip off the public playing under the name SSD. Due to his selfish actions David Spring has officially been terminated from ALL association with the band SSD. His attempt to recreate SSD in 2008 will utterly fail and I hope the public will not attend his performances and if they do they make it as miserable as possible for him to remain on stage safely. I know I personally will make every attempt to make him pay for his corrupt, cheating selfish actions. SSD will always be a team with integrity. It's unfortunate that a fat overweight "has been" and "nobody" will try to fool the public under the mighty moniker SSD.

His overall contribution to what made SSD such a special band is so far under the radar and almost next to zero. Anybody intimately involved and close to the band understands his contribution. The real fact is that the band had to go out of its way to compensate for his talent, work ethic and criminal behavior.

I feel bad for those fans who have been waiting for a chance to see the band but attending this Dave Springa performance is a travesty and borderline criminal. He is a terrible human being and I'm not just saying this now. He is basically the reason the band dissolved. Our relationship has been civil since we stopped playing but clearly after then band dissolved his musical and organizational ability pretty much guaranteed his ability to get to get zero accomplished. He couldn't write a song if it fell in his lap. Having said that, I have been monitoring this potential SSD ripoff roadshow for sometime and I have done my best to discourage it through various legal and illegal tactics. I have actually held off some royalties and payments to hold over his head and help him make the right decision.

He is basically following the business model laid out by Cliff from the Freeze, Chris Doherty from Gang Green, Choke from Slapshot. I can only speculate but I believe their motives are clear. I hate to throw anybody under the bus but I'm sure this support system of 40 year olds living in the past has helped David Spring organize the tour.

Motives

1) Rip off the public as 40 plus year-olds playing music made by kids and capitalize on American Hardcore Movie.

2) Make enough money to buy their alcohol, drugs and coke and whatever else.

3) Pounce on as many foreign chicks who think these American punk rock stars are special and give them 20 year old pussies. Hopefully they will give them something else as well.

4) Escape their miserable lives and US wifes and girlfriends to pursue their sexual fantisies.

5) Hopefully come back to US with enough money so they can collect unemployment and continue their life avoiding a disciplined work schedule in which you wake up and go to work. They will repeat the cycle every two years.

If it wasn't for my efforts, Springa would have justified this plan and pulled this shit sooner. It seems like he might pull it off this time but I am a fucking fighter and I don't take well to people ripping me off and tarnishing the name of my band. I am assemblng a network of supporters who will help do everything possible to make him uncomfortable and fearful for his safety at each show. If he gets close to the Boston or New York area then I will execute the plan. My goal is to make the tour fall apart due to poor attendance, hopefully get the promotors to back off after my legal representative serve papers. I would also appeal to the general public to understand when they are getting ripped off and for them to NOT BELIEVE that this lineup is SSD. It's just a fat overweight scumbag breaking ranks from the band. He must be stopped.

Please share this letter to anybody or any punk rock news outlet. It's time to put a stop to these rogue motherfuckers who have no integrity. Anyone who can help make David Spring's life miserable will be on my list of close friends who I will be entirely indebted to and hopefully I can repay the favor somehow.

Thanks

Alan Barile
Leader SSD

Some funny SSD related moments:

1. Springa is such a miserable piece of shit, I can't imagine his life getting any worse. He drives an early 80's Chevy Citation if that is any indication of things. Last time I ran into him at my friend's studio he was wearing overalls and a straw hat. I've seen him walk into shows/bars and dudes are like "Ugh here comes Dave" and then they duck out of the way.

2. I saw Fu Manchu a couple months ago and Springa tried to sing Nothing Done with them. He was so bad they stopped playing about half a line into the first verse and the singer was like, "Yeah, uh... I think we forgot how to play that one."

3. Al Barile one time tried to sic his "lawyer" on my friend's distro for carrying boots of Kids and Get It Away. The "lawyer" ended up being his wife Nancy, who is a high school English teacher.

4. I saw Al, Chris Foley (SSD drummer) and Springa outside the Boston premier of American HC arguing about wether or not they should reissue the first two LPs. Al kept harping on on this romatinc BS line about how if you weren't there you just can't relive it.

5. Later on during the movie, when Harley talks about kicking SSD's asses, Nancy stood up in the theater and yelled "THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!" at the top of her lungs. Everyone around here just laughed.

also, say what you will, but springa isn't the one selling $25 SSD records on his website

I put those Tshirts out just to make them available and provide an alternative to the bootlegs. Believe me it's no labor of love and I'm not making any money off of it after I have to put the money out and sit on a bunch of shirts for a while. Then the packaging, postage and a trip to post office. It's not MY full time gig so you might not understand the concept but it's actually an aggravation but nonetheless if there is an SSD fan out there who wants a official licensed shirt then I will try to provide the service.

Hi Chris -

Don't know how I got dragged into this, but just for clarification sake:

3. Before I became a teacher, I worked as a paralegal. My law firm handled all SSD legal matters - I would never pretend to be a lawyer, as it would be unethical, and I would have most definitely lost my job.

5. Harley never kicked any SSD ass - which is why everyone laughed during the movie when I said "that's a lie." In 1981, Harley was still quite young - he wasn't up to kicking anyone's ass - a fact I'm sure he would admit if you asked him. He may have kicked some Boston ass at some time in his life, but it wasn't the Boston Crew of SSD's time.

P.S. Your post is a little creepy - you know - or think you know - way too much about us. Time to get a life!

This is Riohondo, Not Spain!

El nuevo compilado de Forgotten Youth Records se titula "This is Riohondo, Not Spain" (FYR#4). Contiene 21 temas de 11 grupos del area de Deep River en Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Desde el 1998 hasta el 2008, grupos vivos y muertos. La idea vino obviamente por los notorios compilados "This is Boston, Not L.A." y "This is Phoenix, Not the Circle Jerks" y de la necesidad de no dejar en el olvido ese sonido del pueblo donde me crié y del cual me siento muy orgulloso. El "Spain" en el título no es nada encontra de ese gran país, yo amo España y su escena punk 80s, al igual que la escena californiana, inglesa y del resto del mundo. Es más bien una crítica a ciertas bandas punk de Puerto Rico que en esa época trataban de imitar el sonido del spanish punk y no les quedaba . Contiene pdf con historia, fotos, family tree, portada y tracklist. Pulsen en las fotos para agrandar!

Lars and The Real Girl

Lars and the Real Girl es una comedia diferente y divertida del director australiano, Graig Gillespie, y la guionista Nancy Oliver (Six Feet Under). La historia es acerca de un joven tímido y solitario llamado Lars (Ryan Gosling) que vive en una pequeña casa junto a su hermano y la esposa de este. Lars ordena a su chica ideal a través del internet, Bianca, y pronto todo su entorno se transformará por su relación con la chica de goma. Es una historia bien original que te provocará tanto risa como compasión, Lars está trastornado y la única manera de cambiar su manera de ser para poder progresar en la vida es atraer la atención de todo su pueblo. La película fue nominada a los Oscares (Mejor Guión Original para Oliver ) y los Golden Globes (Mejor Actor de Comedia para Gosling) del 2008. Ryan Gosling se consolida en esta película como uno de los actores más versátiles de la nueva generación. Ha tenido la capacidad de hacer de maestro adicto en "Half Nelson", skinhead nazi judío en "The Believer" y de loner chiflado en este filme e impresionar a los espectadores. En conclusión, es una excelente película por su historia y por sus actuaciones que se apartan de toda el reciclaje y papeles cliché que abundan en el cine de hoy en día.
