RiverRun International Film Festival, The BCPF, The Less Desirables

Salutations™!!

The 19th Annual RiverRun Film Festival has kicked off! For the next 9 days the town willlogo@2x be filled with celebs, films and activities. There are 151 films from a whole slew of countries. There is more to do than just films, though. There are gala events (tonight), parties, panels and just plain fun.

We recently had new Executive Director for RiverRun, Rob Davis, on The Less Desirables. He had a great time with us and vice versa. We talked about the festival’s history, his history and some of his favorite films and films in general. It was informative and entertaining, if I do say so myself. Rob is a movie guru and a gem for RiverRun.

The Less Desirables are a media sponsor of the festival and The BCPF and I will be attending several of the events. We hope to meet up with some of our regular festival going friends and hang out and drink a bit. We like the parties and frolic. We have a good time with these. The BCPF used to work for RiverRun and we know a good bit of the staff, really well. It will be great to see and chat with them, as well.

I recommend that you go see a few films. There are so many to choose from. And there’s a 70mm film version of Ghostbusters (1984) that is being screened. I’d say that would be a safe bet. Tell them that you heard about it from me and from The Less Desirables. And enjoy all the activities you can! Look for The BCPF and me. Say “hi!” For more information and to purchase tix visit the RiverRun website.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Wouldn’t You Like to be a Sucker, Too? or: Love is for Suckers (Eugeology Entry 12)

A.J. Pero, Dee Snider, Eddie Ojeda, Eugene B Sims, Jay Jay French, Joe Franco, Jon Lowder, Kip Winger, Kix, Love Is For Suckers, Mark Mendoza, Pete Townshend, Reb Beach, Steve Whiteman, Twisted Sister, Wheelers Dog, Winger, ZZ Top

Salutations™!!

So, I know I totally let Eugene down on the entry from last week. Just not my thing, but wasn’t not my thing. I am still confused on that one. Jon is still a few weeks behind. In one that Eugene surely thought I was going to take a leak on (he even preemptively called that I wouldn’t like it on our little private message group), I had already listened to it three times at that point and now have listened to it an additional two times. Well, let’s get to it.

Love_Is_For_Suckers_album_cover

#12 – Love is for Suckers by Twisted Sister.

I talked about the importance of Stay Hungry was to my emergence into hard rock (then known as heavy metal, even if we don’t like the term) that wasn’t KISS. I have to say that Come Out and Play, the follow-up to Stay Hungry, let me down enough I didn’t care enough to listen to much of anything after that. Well, mistake #1.

You know I do love me some poppy rock, especially when it’s of the heavy variety. This is more a heavy pop record than even Stay Hungry. But, what this has in its favor over it’s older brother is that there’s not many songs on this one that I’d skip over. There’s not many on the prior either, but those songs were worn out (especially by me). So this makes this album a breath of fresh air. There are some serious power ballads on here in addition to some serious rockin’.

Dee Snider’s vocals are amazing on this album. I don’t know how he managed to sound even halfway decent after the earlier TS stuff, there’s a lot of screeching (the good kind) going on here and then, too. His melodies are more poppy here and again, that’s not a bad thing, at all. Lyrically, and heck mostly musically, he’s spot on the whole time. He was the sole songwriter for all but two tunes. He brings back some of the “Burn in Hell” style along with his high rock-god power on this album.

It’s typical Twisted Sister and it was much better than I thought it was going to be. I saw it come across as the assignment for the week and, while I didn’t roll my eyes, I did raise an eyebrow. I wasn’t dreading it, just was skeptical of how good it was going to be. I’m glad I was surprised; pleasantly so.

I am skeptical about how much Jay Jay French, Eddie “Fingers” Ojeda and Mark “The Animal” Mendoza actually played on this album. It started out as a solo side project for Snider with Reb Beach and Kip Winger, prior to them forming Winger (which I think was underrated, truth be known) and Kix’s Steve Whiteman doing some vocals with him. Now, I know why Eugene likes it so much. I kid. Anywhat! Atlantic wasn’t having any Dee Snider solo action so he “redid” some of it with actual TS members.

I was surprised that A.J. Pero (RIP) wasn’t on this album. I hadn’t realized that he was long longer with the band at this time. I had moved away from most of the heavy music mags at the time and there was no internet for me to keep up with all that. He had left to play with a band called Cities. I wonder if he had just told Snider “no” and Snider kicked him from the band. Who knows. His replacement Joe Franco may be playing on it. I don’t think that drum machines were that sophisticated at the time and there was reports of Franco programming drum machines. So with that, I also “dunno.”

Songs. The first five songs: “Wake Up (The Sleeping Giant),” “Hot Love,” the title track, “I’m So Hot for You” and “Tonight” are fantastic. The latter, oddly enough, reminds me of Cheap Trick but jacked up. The melodies and harmonies throughout those first five were great, too. “Me and the Boys” I didn’t really care one way or another at first, but upon more listens, I liked it more and more. “One Bad Habit” is all boogie rock and we talked last week about me not liking that. It wasn’t awful here, just not my thing. I did like the use of the horns on that song, though. “You Are All That I Need” is a great power ballad and it was indicative of the times. 1987 was prime for power ballads; there were more than plenty. The final song on the album, “Yeah Right” is a cheerleading song. I’m pretty sure that’s a drum machine and not not real drums. It’s almost Afterburner-like from ZZTop at times. I’d say that’s my least favorite song on the album. That is until you get to the bonus tracks (if we’re counting those)…

But, if I’m picking my favorites it would be the first five songs, especially “Hot Love,” and “You Are All That I Need.” Least favorites, the aforementioned “Yeah Right” as well as “Feel Appeal” and “Statutory Date” from the four bonus tracks. Of those, I did like “If That’s What You Want,” which oddly sounds a little like “Rough Boys” from Pete Townshend. So, I did my extra homework with the bonus tracks, this week.

All I can say about this album is that if you haven’t heard it, you need to. The only real suckers are those who don’t like it. It’s a great album and I’ll say I like it better than Stay Hungry. That is until I hear that album again. Loved it, Eug. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and if Jon ever catches up, his, too.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

City Beverage, the Official Beer Sponsor of The Less Desirables, presents Jai Alai India Pale Ale by Cigar City Brewing, The Less Desirables Beer of the Week.jaialai

Cigar City has made its way to NC and we get to try their award-winning brews on this show. I don’t know how this will be but I’m glad it’s here. I hear about Cigar City a lot on my drinking circles but because they’re new to here we’ve not had a chance to have many. Yes, this is an IPA but it is new and I’m wanting to try it. It’s 7.5% ABV and its IBUs are 70. Bring it on!

BeerAdvocate has it at 94 (Outstanding) and a Bros Score of 100 (World-Class)!! Wow! Untappd has it at 4.04 caps out of 5. RateBeer has it at 99 in style and overall. Those are all unbelievable numbers. I hope I like it. Have you tried it? What did you think? If you haven’t or just have a hankering for more, head to City Beverage and grab your sixer. Tell them it’s the TLD beer of the week and get 5% off your order.

If you’re wondering what Jai Alai is, first it’s pronounced Hi-ah-Lie but when you say it right it just comes out Hi Lie. Second, it’s like lacrosse and squash had a baby, kind of. You have these crazy hooked cups on your hand and you sling and catch it with that device. It looks fun but I wouldn’t want to try it. That’s too much running.

Tune in later tonight or tomorrow and see what Caitlin, Danielle, Bill, Shana and I thought about it.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

“Jai Alai, a game native to the Basque region of Spain, is played on a court called a fronton. Jai Alai players attempt to catch a ball using a curved mitt whilst the ball travels at speeds up to 188mph! Proving they have a sense of humor the Spanish dubbed this game, with its ball traveling at racecar speeds, ‘the merry game.'” – Cigar City website

A Birthday of Sorts or: Hamster Car Indeed

Kia Soul, The BCPF, Vagabond Saints Society, XTC

Salutations™!!

Well, my “other” kid has a “birthday” today. I got Nigel 2 years ago today. Nigel, if you don’t know, is my Alien II Green Kia Soul. And, I really dig this car.

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate driving. I don’t like driving from the side door of my house to my mail box which isn’t really that far away. But, I don’t mind driving places with Nigel. I go even further and say, and maintain, that that little Soul is the most fun I’ve ever had driving a car. I truly love it. I don’t know what we’ll do next year when the lease is up. Get a new one or pay this one off… hmmm.

So, I now that Nigel doesn’t sound very Korean, which is where Kia is based. But, for those who don’t know there’s a reason that I named it that. I bought him on March 27, 2015. On March 26, 2015, I performed with the Vagabond Saints Society when they did their XTC show. One of the tunes I did was called “Making Plans for Nigel.” The BCPF had just had a conversation the week before that there weren’t enough American kids (or grownups) that were named Nigel or Alistair. We like both of those names, and since we’re not planning on having any kids and I had just done that song, then I picked Nigel for his name. So, no, it doesn’t sound Korean, but like Angelina Jolie and her 18 kids, I adopted Nigel from another country, and his name is now Nigel. And there you have it.

He’s in dire need of a bath, but I have done my best to keep him mostly clean and not clutter him up with a bunch of mess. His sound system is pretty fantastic and he is awesome with the navigation when we are house hunting. I’ve never had a car of my own that had a sunroof and really never wanted one. But, Nigel is pretty awesome with his open. A little noisy, yes, but the windbreaker makes it less loud. And, here we are two years in and he only has about 14,400 miles. I don’t think we have to worry about any overages when the end of the lease comes. I drive him from my house to downtown and back home again. That’s about it.

DSC_0124Again, he’s a great car. Thanks Nigel for being with me. I do really, really dig you. Here’s to much more time together. At least another year.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Confessions_of_a_dangerous_mind

©Miramax/Walt Disney Pictures

Per IMDb: “An adaptation of the cult memoir of game show impresario Chuck Barris, in which he purports to have been a CIA hitman.”

Chuck Barris (Rockwell) grew up in a weirdly broken home. He became very interested in television, even getting a job as a tour guide at NBC in New York. He wrote “Palisades Park” which went on to become a top 10 hit. He started to think up wacky game shows that were unlike anything else on television at the time. But, there was a dark side. That is, if Barris is to be believed in his book and/or in this film.

He was approached by Jim Byrd (Clooney), an FBI secret agent. Byrd wants to recruit Barris to be an assassin for the government. The money that Barris supposedly makes doing this line of work enables him to develop more of his loony programs. Shows like The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game, The $1.98 Beauty Show and, of course, The Gong Show among others. He got his assignments by giving The Dating Game winning contestants trips to other countries where he is their “chaperone” during the day. At night, he kills a few people for the government and meets an operative named Patricia (Julia Roberts). They get close, which causes friction with Barris’ on-again/off-again girlfriend, Penny (Barrymore). What else happened? Does he ever get caught? Does he get the girl, either girl, neither girl? You’ll have to watch to find out.

I was very young when The Gong Show was on television, but I do remember it. I remember Gene Gene the Dancing Machine, the Unknown Comic, Arte Johnson, Jamie Farr and Jaye P. Morgan all being on there. I didn’t understand what was going on, but I remember it. I do remember The Newlywed Game vividly. I loved that show. I also knew about The Dating Game pretty well, too.

I do remember Chuck Barris from The Gong Show, too. I believe that Sam Rockwell did a fantastic job playing Barris. He had his mannerisms down and sounded a lot like him, as well. George Clooney, who not only starred in the film but directed it, was properly creepy and brilliantly stoic in his role as Agent Byrd. I’m not a huge fan of Julia Roberts but she did a great job of playing Agent Patricia Watson. Drew Barrymore is gorgeous and is always fantastic in whatever role she plays. I do find it funny that it seems she is almost always driving a Volkswagen vehicle in a lot of her films. Go watch a few of them to see what I’m talking about.

Do I believe half of this stuff? I don’t know. I don’t think so. It’s plausible and quite possible but mostly improbable. Does the improbability take anything away from the film? Nope. It’s a good film, actually. Interesting, intriguing and entertaining. It’s worth a watch. There were several cameos in the film of note: Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Michael Cera, to name a few.

It was on Netflix a while back but it’s currently only available on Amazon as a two-day rental. I own it on DVD and watched it that way.

I had chosen to do this film about two months ago, putting it on my schedule for this day. Oddly enough, Chuck Barris passed away on Tuesday, but I didn’t find out about it until I had put it in to watch on Wednesday. That’s just weird, to me.

Rotten Tomatoes has it rated at 79% Fresh with an Audience Score of 75%. IMDb has it rated at 7.1 stars out of 10. Like I said, a pretty good film.  I rate it 3.75 stars out of 5. Have you seen it? What did you think? What would you like to read/hear me review? Send me some recommendations!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Bethesda Center, Blind Melon, Bulls Tavern, Dave Matthews Band, Friday Night Music Club, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Mediocre Bad Guys, WSNC

Salutations™!!

So, the March installment of the Friday Night Music Club is tonight and will be at Bull’s Tavern. This month the non-profit/charity is The Bethesda Center for the Homeless.

Musically, tonight FNMC will be focusing on groove-rock of the 90’s/2000’s.15873515_1428930590450353_2994663030644474219_n

The show will feature the reunion of the original Mediocre Bad Guys lineup as they do what they originally set out to do, Jack Johnson tunes.

Zack Fox, Stephen Henson, Mitch Hull and Greg Goad (or some combination therein) will be doing the music of John Mayer.

Josh Moyer, aka Dichotomy, will be leading a band playing Dave Matthews Band songs.

My good pal, Patrick Ferguson will be leading a band of whippersnappers doing renditions of Blind Melon tunes.

If pot was legal in this state, then this show would be for those individuals (and groups) that partake. I know nothing about it, myself, but it is what it is. This music is of plenty who hide not the fact that they’re supporters of the culture. That’s perfectly okay!

I will be hosting the festivities. It will be from around 10pm until 1:30a-ish. There is no cover charge or admission. Just, please, give to the cause. Every bit of the donations go to Bethesda Center. Help them out and support the efforts. Bull’s Tavern is located at 408 W 4th Street in WSNC.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Rock the Nation or: Montrose (Eugeology Entry 11)

Bill Church, Boston, David Lee Roth, Denny Carmassi, Eugene B Sims, Eugeology, Gene Simmons, Heart, Jon Lowder, Led Zeppelin, Mötley Crüe, Montrose, Robert Plant, Ronnie Montrose, Sammy Hagar, Tom Sholtz, Van Halen, Wheelers Dog

Salutations™!!

I enjoyed last week’s entry, even thinking that I wouldn’t. Good surprise for me. Still waiting on Jon and Eugene‘s assessment of that one. So, let’s see how I like the selection this week.

Montrose_-_-s-t-

©Warner Bros.

#11 – Montrose by Montrose.

I like Sammy Hagar. I like the overplayed “I Can’t Drive 55” and “There’s Only One Way to Rock.” I like a few others of his solo stuff. My favorite stuff from him, though, is his days with Van Halen and that’s my favorite Van Halen. There, I said it. I like Van Hagar better than Van Halen. Do I think the songs are better? Well, I think they’re better written even if they’re not more mass appealing. I like that over the party cock-rock that DLR brought to the table. Don’t get me wrong, I liked Van Lee Roth, too, but enjoyed Sammy better. Anywhat! I got off the rail there.

This was Sammy’s “let’s rip off Robert Plant” phase. Sure, it sounds like Sammy but a lot of it sounds like he’s trying to be Plant. He was young and this was his vocal debut. I get it, he was finding his style. We all do that when we get into music. Heck, I still play like Gene Simmons. And, upon reading more about the album, it turns out that some refer to this album as “America’s answer to Led Zeppelin.” I can see that. It is, at least to me, mainly because of Sammy’s vocals.

Ronnie Montrose was a good guitarist. He had plenty of riffs on the album that were cool and his solos were on point. I feel at times his tone was a bit boxy, but it works for here. It’s not quite Tom Sholtz boxy, though. It was standard Les Paul tone for the time period. Les Paul through a Fender amp, worlds colliding there. I kid. I do like his pull offs and bends.

I did some digging on Denny Carmassi and like the fact that he played on the Heart album. I know it’s poppy cheese but I like it. He’s had a long and storied career that I never knew about (which isn’t surprising) and I enjoyed listening to his works, both post, and during, this production. Heavy beats, heavy playing. You can tell he’s pounding the snot out of the drums. I dig it.

I think my favorite part about the album is Bill Church. His bass lines are flavorful, tasteful and full. He literally fills the recording with his bottom end. Possibly taking up more than is needed. But, I’m a bassist and I don’t complain about those things. He went on to be Sammy’s bassist for most of his solo career. Great, solid bassist right there.

Even with all the components that I like (or mostly like), there’s something about this album that has left me just feeling “blah.” I’m sure I know what at least half of it is: that fast, rollicking “boogie blues rock.” I can’t stand that stuff. Precisely, I don’t like “Good Rockin’ Tonight” (not a Montrose song) and “One Thing on My Mind.” I really want to like “Bad Motor Scooter” and for the most part I do, but something about it, and I cannot put my finger on it, bugs me. I see from where Mötley Crüe got the intro to “Kickstart My Heart,” though. My favorite song on the album is “Rock Candy.” It also was the only song on the album that all four members got writing credit.

I listened to this album about seven times. That was easy to do since the whole thing isn’t but 32 minutes long. I listened over and over trying – nay, hoping – to get a better liking of it. I wanted to like it. I really, really did. And, I didn’t dislike it. That’s the thing. I wasn’t against it and I don’t not like it, I just didn’t like it. Other than this exercise, I probably won’t listen to it again. It’s a decent album that didn’t really grab me the way I wanted it to. That’s a shame.

I can’t wait to read Eugene’s memories of it and if Jon ever catches up, I’d like to read his thoughts on it. So, bring on the next one, Eug.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Ballast Point, Beer, BeerAdvocate, City Beverage, RateBeer, The Less Desirables, Untappd

Salutations™!!unnamed (13)

City Beverage, the Official Beer Sponsor of The Less Desirables, presents Sea Rose Tart Cherry Wheat from Ballast Point Brewing Company, The Less Desirables Beer of the Week.

The weather has been warmer lately and while I don’t let the seasons dictate what I drink, I will think of the way others drink when it comes to style. So, this is a tart cherry wheat, a lighter, refreshing style, at least in theory. I’ve been hit-or-miss with Ballast Point in the past. Their Sculpin and other IPAs are just not my thing. I’m hoping this is different and that I will get satisfaction out of it, because I like tart wheats and such.

BeerAdvocate has no ratings at all for it. Untappd has it at 3.34 caps out of 5. RateBeer has it at 43 Overall and 63 in Style. Those are great numbers and I hope it’s not indicative of what I’ll think about it. It’s only 4% ABV so it is certainly light. Have you had it? What did you think? If you’ve not had it or just have a hankering for more, head on down to City Beverage and get your sixer. Tell them that this is the TLD beer of the week and get 5% off your order. Tune in late tonight or tomorrow to hear what Caitlin, Danielle, RiverRun and I think about it.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

“Our Sea Rose tart cherry wheat ale is a fresh take on fruit beers. Originally conceived during an employee-led R&D brew, it’s one of our most imaginative recipes yet. The American wheat style is light and clean, while fresh cherry juice adds a soft coral color and fruity nose that gives way to a dry, slightly tart finish. It’s approachable, yet unexpected—exactly what we love to brew.” – Ballast Point
