“I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn’t it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailleur? We are getting soft…As for me, give me a fixed gear!”

- Henri Desgrange, L’Équipe article of 1902

Life's Tough For The Stupid - Rave Records

Tue, 25 May 2010 20:58:00 -0400

Spinning killer punk 45s - Rave Records “life’s tough for the stupid”

Picked them up today and honestly didn’t know anything about the bands. Glad I took the one buck chance on this wax cuz these songs hold up solid. Can’t wait to dig into more of each band’s work.

These red and yellow twins include: More Fiends, Starvation Army, The Big Thing and Reverb Motherfuckers.

With a little bit of Google’s help I was able to track down a some history and more recent band/artist news

More Fiends

Here’s a must read recollection of the fall of the Berlin Wall by band member Elizabeth Fiend. She has a great blog with lots of killer pics, thoughts and stories.

Starvation Army

“It happened in ‘89 maybe it was ‘90. We were on are way back from a trip around the country sleeping on beer-stained couches. We were a completely self contained unit. Contained in an 8’ x 14’ rolling laundry basket we called a van.” ~ Tim Kelly, Bass

Read more stories from the band here You can also catch some of their tracks on iTunes

The Big Thing

Band member Greg Loop is now recording coolio kids songs and lovin him same brews http://beeractivist.com/2007/08/25/beer-drinking-kids-music-that-rocks/

Reverb Motherfuckers

“…sounds like a troop of retarded boy scouts doing duck calls through electrified vacuum cleaner hoses.” ~ Flesh and Bones

I was probably one friend that new this band away from becoming a fan back in the late 80’s early 90’s. Here’s a great bio on the band.

I’ll still use facebook but in my case I think the latest privacy changes backfired for FB. Personally I have closed off everything related to my account to “friends only”

rexdixon:

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his company are suddenly facing a big new round of scrutiny and criticism about their cavalier attitude toward user privacy. An early instant messenger exchange Mark had with a college friend won’t help put these concerns to rest. According to SAI sources, the following exchange is between a 19-year-old Mark Zuckerberg and a friend shortly after Mark launched The Facebook in his dorm room: Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard Zuck: Just ask. Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS [Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one? Zuck: People just submitted it. Zuck: I don’t know why. Zuck: They “trust me” Zuck: Dumb fucks.
