Anyway, Little Baby Buntin' - classic!For Ladies Only - classic!God Hears Pleas Of The Innocent - a bit pointless by that time, apart from "The Nobbies" and "Paul Doesn't Understand Jazz".

This wasn't really a job handicap because most bands had zero desire to do anything when having their pictures taken other than stopping having their pictures taken. This meant that small talk was limited. However, photographers are often paired with writers and you know how we love to talk shop.
He would often find himself in conversations about bands that he had zero idea about. None whatsoever. So he devised two pat answers that he said were useful in nearly all of the discussions he wound up in:
"I like their earlier stuff better."
and
"They remind me of Killdozer."
This thread reminded me of this and it made me smile, so thanks.

This song tells the inspiring story of a youth, exploited by his employer (1), a ruthless newspaper distributor. Finally, the Peoples' Revolution arrives (2), and the lad justifiably kills his boss.

I was at their last chicago gig in 1996(97?) at the empty bottle. Mike told me "Everyone comes up to us on this tour and asks why we're quitting. and we tell them if all the shows were like this, we would keep playing. But the only way to do that is to tell them it's our last show!"
At last report, he's lawyering in NYC. I would pay to see him before a jury."Your honor, my asshole could make a better case than the Prosecution!"

The most amazing sort of critic was one who praised us adoringly early on, but when Touch & Go left Detroit, where this critic lived, we became his fave example of shit music. I think we took the brunt of his anger over what he perceived as betrayal by T&G for pulling out of Wheel City. He's a music scribe for the Village Voice now, but that's not to say he grew up.
Three guesses, guys.

"I was a food-service employee at the University of Wisconsin, but all I ever had to do was encourage people to wash dishes. And then I'd to watch TV in my boss's office. I became a big fan of 21 Jump Street. I felt that there was no reason all my co-workers couldn't keep their houses filled with coffee and ice cream from the stockroom. Dan got fired from a job like that for eating bacon."

He works in the movie biz as a grip. As a bonus:Paul Zagoras lives on a farm outside of Madison, WI, with his beautiful wife that he imported from Japan. Nobody knows what Paul does for a living.
Erik Tunison lives in Amsterdam with a lady (the last I heard), where he manages a hipster night club and gets high all the time.

ha ha I just thought their records after *Snakeboy* weren't as good as *Snakeboy*!
Anyway, by some crazy coincidence, I just noticed this this morning (in Tony Jasper's and Derek Oliver's *The International Encyclopedia of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal*:
>Killdozer (France)
Despite being French, this band sing only in English. Their music is subdued and the LP is only worth buying if it is cheap.

I'm hearing this phrase in michael gerald's gruff, coarse voice, just before some steamroller sludge-rock riff in some insanely tricky time signature kicks in.
Killdozer were the best, and I feel privileged to have seen them. The twofer CD w/"12 point buck" and "Little baby bunting" is the best, though I'm a big big phan of "uncompromising war on art under the dictatorship of the proletariat", coz they play it so damn str8-faced.
