BBB’s Notebook: ECW on Global 03/23/07

-(In Adam Sandler voice) Lashley broke the Master Lock…. WHOOPITY DOO!!!!

-I kinda dig the new opening video.

-Sabu wearing Daivaris gear is too funny.

-Sabu and RVD vs. Cor Von and Thorn was a solid match.

-POOOOOOOOOUNCE!!

-The Sheik in the HoF was a nice touch on the ECW program.

-Punk vs. Holly was good as well. I’m enjoying the New Breed trying to lure Punk angle.

-Burke vs. Dreamer was sloppy and unfun.

-Why would you show the same vingette twice in a fucking one hour show?

-Lashley and Masters was blah.

-A pretty good show and miles above this weeks Impact.

I’m pretty excited about the SmackDown/ECW tapings here in July. I’ve wanted to go to an ECW show since forever and even though its the new bastardized version, I’ll take it. I just hope all the “originals” are still under contract.

BBB’s Notebook: TNA Impact 03/22/07

I think the “notebook’s” are going to be written a little differently from now on. Less recap and more opinion. After all, its my fuckin’ notebook isn’t it….

-A “hell froze over match?” Really Vince?

-Man Rhino is chunking up again.

-They better pull the trigger on whatever they are gonna do with Serotonin. I’m losing interest.

-Sting is annoying me.

-LOVED Team 3D bringing out all those belts. Drove the point home. Liked the intense exchange between Buh Buh and Konnan which is big considering how much Konnan blows.

-Enough with fucking Backlund.

-I like the new Chris Daniels.

-I think Jim Cornette plays his part very well and adds a lot to the show.

-Jacqueline has the charisma of wallpaper paste.

-The Best of AJ Styles Volume 2? Sweet.

-The woman (who I assume to be Abyss’ mom) was such a lame fucking angle. Terrible.

-Impact is just bad. It needs something, I don’t know what it is but its a terrible show.

Weekend

Had a pretty great weekend with the kids, especially Saturday. We went out for dinner and then took them to see TMNT. It was a pretty fun movie and some of the animation was incredible. Especially the Raphael/Leonardo fight scene in the rain on top of the building.

BBB’s Notebook: American Hardcore

Inspired by Steven Blush’s book “American Hardcore: A tribal history” Paul Rachman’s feature documentary debut is a chronicle of the underground hardcore punk years from 1979 to 1986. Interviews and rare live footage from artists such as Black Flag, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, SS Decontrol and the Dead Kennedys.

I’ve been seeing the trailer for this at work and I finally broke down and picked it up and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a great documentry of the hardcore punk scene in the US from 1980 until 1985 or so.

I’ve read a lot of reviews and a lot of people slag the film for being too vague and for leaving out too many bands but you can only fit so much in in a 2 hour film. I was surprised they left out Bad Religion even though they spoke with Brett Gurewitz, Brian Baker and Greg Hetson. (Baker and Hetson were in other influential bands before they joined BR.)

It’s very well done, no narrator as they let those who lived it tell the story. Some of the violence is shocking and the political backlash is very present. I really liked it and look forward to watching it again and maybe checking out some of the more featured bands.

Nevermind

So I was thinking today that it seemed a little early for bands to be releasing Nirvana covers from "Nevermind."

Then I took a look and realized the fucking record came out sixteen years ago! Where does the time go….

There are 15 year old kids that work in my store that weren't born when "Nevermind" was released.
