Head Space

Byrdesdale Spa has definitely seen better days, but it's not a bad place to wander around with the Pavilion demo blasting out on the Walkman...

“Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs.”

“The spectacle is the nightmare of imprisoned modern society which ultimately expresses nothing more than its desire to sleep. The spectacle is the guardian of sleep.”

Zodiac

Wikipedia: In both astrology and historical astronomy, the zodiac is a circle of twelve 30° divisions of celestial longitude that are centered upon the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year....

Solar Epiphany

 I think life is the best idea anyone ever had - I want to pay tribute to it. A lot of people have wondered if Fucked Up became a religious band because we talk about god all the time, but thats not really the case - we are a bunch of people who don't believe in god but know that life would be a lot easier if we did. All the lyrics I write are about trying to find god in nature, like looking for these unexplainable and mystical processes that you can look at with a microscope, you know the memory stored in DNA, or the brightness of the sun - thats god I think and thats what's important for me to think about.

(The artist formerly known as 10K speaking about Chemistry of Common Life)

Scare Tactic / As One

Scare Tactic is where we can begin Jonah's story, for the purposes of this FU related discography. The band comprised Jesse Parker on vocals, Jonah on Guitar, Robert Parker (Jesse's younger brother) on drums and their friend James on Bass. The following quotes from Jonah are taken from email correspondence.

Jonah: Jesse, Robert, and I were all in school together. James was their neighbourhood friend. The three of them were in a band called BSE and had been playing pop punk shows since a really young age. Jesse and I were in a history class together, he asked me to join their band on guitar. Our first "show" was at high school, opening for a German pop-rock band called "Die Sterne" who came and did a big outdoor gig for the student body c/o the German dept (who the hell knows why...probably something to do with Oktoberfest). The set was all covers. 

Jonah joined BSE in 1997 or 1998, the band later changed its name to As One, referencing the song by NYHC band Warzone. As One recorded a four song CD "No Less An Authority"circa 2000, then "sowhatifi'mafuckingdemo" during the winter of 2000. The demo was recorded in Jesse's basement, by his uncle and released on cassette.

Jonah: We changed the name to As One to write more metallic, straight edge hc type songs (FTR, I was never straight edge). Demo was written as we were getting more in to the local hc scene and hearing a lot more music across the eras of punk and hc. When the demo was going to be pressed to vinyl, we switched the name over to Scare Tactic.

Career Suicide...

...will be along shortly. The CS link in the discog list below is not live, but soon will be. In the meantime, if you like looking at pictures of music containers, (and who doesn't?) you can check out the Mercury Girls page.

Pavilion(Mercury Girls)

Jonah drums, produces and helps with song-writing in post-punk quartet Pavillion. They were formerly called Mercury Girls, but changed the name shortly after the release of the demo to avoid confusion with a band of the same name from Philadelphia.

Check their music out on bandcamp, details of their physical releases are below.

Who?

Killed Anna?

Been looking out for the Lonely Wholesome "Who Killed Anna?" lathe-cut for a while. According to rumour 50 records were cut, but most didn't get to the folk that had ordered them because the guy who ran the label (Scotch Tapes) had some kind of nasty boat accident.

Recently I heard about someone who'd found one in a second-hand shop in Canada, so I contacted him to ask for some pics as I'd never seen one... After that one also appeared on Discogs, so maybe the pressing (or cutting) is in circulation?

Anyway, it's a REALLY nicely put together thing,  but I have no idea what the artwork is about. (I'm not into conspiracy theories and don't want to get killed / have an accident).

I'm stuck in someone else's book...

Inside Out

Watson, distressed and fearing for the world's sanity, built the Asylum to put it in and help it get better. 

The Asylum is a four-walled house turned inside out.

Deaf Mutations

Flush All feces...

Deaf Mutations was Dave Brown's semi-anonymous hardcore project, Jonah was also involved and "Crash The Clubs" is their sole release. Dave and Jonah were in Career Suicide at the time, so technically it's more of a CS rather than a  FU side project, but never mind. 

Dave Brown played drums in CS, but switches here to vocals; Jonah plays guitar and maybe bass. He also recorded and produced the EP. Dave released it as a tape via his Sewercide label and a few years later, their friend Tom Ellis released it as a 7" on Static Shock Records.

To be what I used to be, before I was...

Just added Glass Boys to the Discography on the right there>.  

It was going to include rambling interpretations about the artwork, but there's a lot of it once you get going and the page was turning into a mess, so have kept it fairly simple and will save the speculation to this bit on the left here.

To be a dog...

"May you live in interesting times" is an English expression purported to be a translation of a traditional Chinese curse... The nearest related Chinese expression is "宁为太平犬，莫做乱世人" (nìng wéi tàipíng quǎn, mò zuò luànshì rén) which can be translated as "Better to be a dog in a peaceful time, than to be a man in a chaotic period."

(From Wikipedia)

To change a light bulb...

Am I the bulb that carries the light, or am I the light of which the bulb is a vehicle?

If the body is a light bulb and it burns out, does that mean there's no more electricity? The source of the energy remains. We can discard the body and go on. We are the source.
