SATURDAY SONG TO GET STONED [AND BE CHASED DOWN BACK ALLEYWAYS BY A BUNCH OF THUGS AFTER YOU STEAL THEIR STASH AND/OR CASH] TO: TURING MACHINE – “ROCK. PAPER. ROCK.”

If I had the opportunity + the rocks (pun unintended) to rip off some drug dealers and get away with my ‘nads intact, I guess I would do it. But how often does that chance pop up? It would have to be a serious amount of money (or the potential for such, in the form of several kilos of…well, whatever) to be able to effectively go on the lam and make oneself permanently scarce, as would likely be a necessity.

Honestly though — the dealers you or I come in contact with are never holding the amount of scratch we’d need to escape to a sunny beach in Mexico and retire. The “big score” doesn’t really exist on a street level.

Right?

If I’m wrong and anyone has a scheme that’s worth talking about, I’m here and I’m fucking ready. Just know that when the fit hits the shan and we’re on the rrrrun, I will most definitely be blasting this song on my iPod…

You bring the sawed-off — just in case.

Here’s another nominee for my back alley chase song playlist — who can correctly identify? Winner still has to serve jail time if we get caught by the po-po…

2 indie music tidbits that the most metal of you won’t give a fuck about: Turing Machine guitar player Justin Chearno also plays in the group Panthers, and metronomic drummer Jerry Fuchs also plays in Maserati, and more recently, dance-punk funksters !!!, who put on a killer live show…if yr into that sort of thing.

    hell yeah; maserati kicks mucho ass.

  5. [...] the metronomic, humanly mechanical force that was Jerry behind the drum kit (one more firecracker here). From the propulsive rock-solid twos and fours to the stop-start staccato pocket grooves, all the [...]
