Paulette's B-Day Show with Pigstick 06/07/2025

 

Went over to Paulette's house for her B-Day pool party with Pigstick, my first time seeing them live with the new line up and with a fuller and faster sound. Keri's grandson kept wanting to play the drums when the band was setting up and since it was a warm ( and luckily not a hot Bako day) everyone still pretty much spent a lot of time in the pool and Edger (Still Missing) supplied the P.A. system.                                                             

 

Thrasher Skate Rock Comps repost

 So I had someone comment on my other blog "Under The Red And Black Flag" if I could repost the Thrasher Skate Rock Comps, so since I've been trying to do more on this blog I decided to repost it here.    Vol 1 originally came out in 1983 and I use to have the first 3 volumes that I had bought at Dave's Skates in Ventura but after that I never bought another volume of the Thrasher Skate Rock Comps, I don't know why, maybe because the following comps didn't have bands I were interested in or my musical taste had varied.                                                                                                                                                                 Well anyways here is volume 1 thru 13 (minus volume 8, I haven't been able to find that one yet)

Finally doing something with this blog again + some music

 I know it's been a long time since I have posted anything on here but I have had a lot of stuff going on in my life that have had made things difficult to handle, from dealing with different Dr. visits, severe stress along with constant pain in my feet, legs and lower back, dealing with Social Security and being denied S.S.D.I. for almost 11 years (but I have an appointment with them coming up and it looks like I should finally get it) along with some pretty bad depression has not made things easy at all, in fact there is a lot of things that I should have done but have never finished. Well enough about me and my fucked up problems in life, so Ill get to some music now with 2 different bands with 2 different styles of music.     

Seth Staton Watkins is an american folk singer who primarily sings renditions of traditional/rebel Irish tunes, I don't know much else about him but I found a song on Instagram he did and after listening to it and reading the lyrics ( which hit on current events) 

Irish folk music and sea shanties, I enjoy this type of music , it is relaxing but the lyrics are very strong. So take a listen and you might really enjoy his music and you might recognize some tunes that other bands have also played along with his version of Bella Ciao.

But overall I'm hoping I feel good enough to make it too a few shows which I just missed Pigstick opening for The Exploited and I'm gonna miss this show with the Bako boys Rally Cry opening up for Non Servium from Spain
