Save the Chickens! Find Peace of Mind!!

Ladies and Gents, a former ThermoNuclear Bar interview guest, publisher and writer Clint Marsh, could really use some listener support. As you well know, he has published an indispensable work of modern living by the very English Reginald Bakeley "Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop". Of course the book is about more than yardbirds and goblins, it also contains tips and strategies to deal with those troublesome Brownies and well... the best bit is...ACTUALLY, I'm not gonna give it away, so you can listen to our talk here.  

Please send this link around to anyone you know who will want to support independent and original writer's and publishers. http://www.welovethisbook.com/diagram-prize-2013?enter_competition=1

 The vote is closes in a few days and it only takes a second! Thank you all!! -- Rev. R4D4.


PLEASE VOTE FOR GOBLINPROOFING  
 
Dear Friends,
Perhaps you've heard that Reginald Bakeley's book,
Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop and Other Practical Advice in Our Campaign Against the Fairy Kingdom, has been nominated for this year's Diagram Prize, an annual award recognizing the new book with the oddest title.
The winner is chosen by an online ballot, and soon. Voting is completely free and takes less than a minute. It would mean a lot to Reg and me both if Goblinproofing got your vote. And tell your friends about it, too -- the more votes, the more chance we have to win.
Please visit WeLoveThisBook.com to take part, and thank you very much for your support.
Sincerely,
Clint Marsh

Spoijef and the Madness of Sheep's Heeeee

Sheep Squeeze was quite possibly one of Redwood City's most underrated but important bands. Rather than spend several hours detailing the history I will point fans of the genesis of Dorkcore and West Bay Hardcore to this collection on bandcamp recently posted by the infamous Christ Heeee (vocalist and sometimes Sheep drummer) himself:



Now why would I commit to naming this post "SPOIJEF and the Madness of Sheep's Heeee"? Quite rightly it comes down to this very artifact:

"I think he talks to it, dude."
First time I met Chris we were in the proto-Sheep band know as DISRUPTION back in '88/'89 I believe.While I was wearing colorful surf shorts, Dan was busting Vision street wear and Don Juan was profiling stone-washed denim jean jackets, Chris wore bright red Stanford University sweat pants and Metallica t-shirts and did this weird one leg kick dance move while singing. He also had this SPOIJEF picture in his pocket. While we were discussing just how songs should go, Chris would look down at his odd creation and smile to himself and then add his take to the song's structures. After jamming I was curious about his fascination and asked to look at the picture - I realized this picture was channeling musical information to him. So naturally stole it and promised that one fine day it would be revealed to all. Today is that day. BASK IN THE UTTER FUCKING GLORY THAT IS SHEEP SQUEEZE!!!!

Curious about the mighty Sheep Squeeze? You can check out some history on the very NSFW blog, EuroTrash Utility Belt, here: http://eurotrashutilitybelt.blogspot.com/2009/05/sheep-squeeze-dorkcore-to-extreme.html
