These two live discs with material spanning High on Fire's incredible career releases on Tuesday, however Pitchfork has the second disc streaming HERE right now!!! It's really, really good - a great representation of High on Fire from someone who has seen them a number of times in venues of varying sizes.

The character, not the movie. Right through this DOOR. Written by my friend Chester Whelks. Rock on.

Chvrches - Recover



This is cool. I just received my old band The Yellow House's video for our song U R Ur Car where, just like the Chvrches video above, we rented a roller rink for the video shoot, rented a stage and set up and played in the middle of a ton of people skating. It was really cool. I'm going to have to upload that to the ol' utubes and post it here.

Chvrches - Gun

Sex Pistols - The Filth and the Fury



Been a while since I've watched this, but it's essential viewing for Lydon/Pistols fans.

Sex Pistols 1/10/78 Longhorn Ballroom, Dallas TX - Bodies



Classic Rotten. Part of the 12 tour dates that changed the world.

The Lydon/Constantine Connection

And speaking of Johnny Rotten, I know that the initial incarnation of John Constantine was based on Sting (via Swamp Thing) but obviously Lydon was, in the long run, a much more inspirational force behind the character.
