Other targets for the musical mad scientists of ST Sanders’s, include this update to Hang Fire by The Rolling Stones and this hilarious mash up with KISS.

Don’t hate! You’d be grouchy too if you’re dress looked like a bunch of Kleenex Tissues. True story.

Thanks!: WOW.

Image of Jesus (?) on a bathroom door at an Ikea in Glasgow. For Freddy Pants.

Meh. I’ve seen better looking images of Jesus in a frying pan. Anyway, word from the top brass at Ikea say that the image is really Benny Anderson of ABBA. If you want my opinion (and you verra well do), I think it looks more like Frylock from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but that’s just because I’m completely stoned me.

Thanks!: WOW.

Fucking Hipsters love their Miracle Whip a little too much.

Really, Miracle Whip?

Thanks: WOW.

All weeping punk rock icon glaciers aside, this particular glacier has been shrinking as much as 160 feet a year for decades. If I were that glacier, I’d be pretty depressed too.

Freddy Eyeballs! Mercury.

As I lay here recovering from my first Toga party last night, I came across this photo of Freddy Mercury. I’m just going to stare at it until my tequila hangover (courtesy of golden goddess birthday girl Mel and tequila junkie AFJ) goes away. I don’t know if it’s helping, but it sure beats kissing cold porcelain while swearing I’ll never touch another drop of Blanco again as long as I live. Stupid empty promises really piss my liver off.

Lady GaGa and her sparkler cones of death. For K…

…KISS meets Wendy O. Williams perhaps? Anyway, I’m not a fan of Lady GaGa but, I am a fan of fireworks, metal studs and boobs.

“That one” replaces Wendy O for GTFO this week.

Sorry, I know this has been all over the Internets already but, I can’t get enough. It just screams, fuck yeah. Anyway, on to the point of this post. Which is what you should do this weekend now that we live in a Bushless society.  There are so many shows going on your biggest problem is truly which ones to hit. Although, you can’t miss Ms. Led tonight, it’s the band last show ever so Friday is easy.  Saturday is going to be a tough call for all of you with classy ears. Unless you’re in London because then it’s all about T Rextasy. Okay, enough jibba-jabba, let’s go…!

Friday, January 23rd:

Thank you, Ms. Led. You will be missed…

Looking Ahead:

Elvis Perkins.

The Bloodies will be in Portland, OR at Plan B on  January 30th. On January 31st, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings will be back in Seattle at the Showbox at the Market. I keep catching Jones’ performance on Austin City Limits and am unable to tear myself away every time that woman opens her mouth. On February 15, The Gutter Twins, otherwise known as Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli will be at the Showbox at the Market along with Happy Chichester (!) and the awesomeness that is Shawn Smith. Finally, Elivs Perkins will be at The Tractor on March 9th. I’m really digging Perkins new self-titled record, Elvis Perkins in Dearland. Perkins’ melodies and vocals are almost as dreamy as the man himself. Despite the fact that Perkins is the son of actor Anthony Perkins, the star of Psycho.True story.

Now…:

WOW DVD. Wow, indeed.

Love Songs For The Apocalypse. Be prepared…

Happy Holidays? Has there ever been a more misguided use of the word “happy”? Probably not. Anyway, if you’re like me, you’ve been drinking yourself awake and asleep for the last few days. So in essence, the Holidays are just like every other day of the year. I don’t know about you, but my house has been pretty much a drunker version of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. My tree has so far survived which is more than I can say for myself. In the words of the very excellent Schoolyard Heroes, this is what it’s like to be Home for the Horrordays.

So, if you’re like me, you NEED to Get The Fuck Out and get drunk with complete strangers that won’t tell you what a drunken ass you were the next morning as they eat all the food in your fridge. Now, let’s GTFO…

Looking Ahead to New Years Eve:

Seattle Fireworks at the Space Needle, 2006.

The other amatuer night also known as New Year’s Eve is quickly approaching. If you’re like me (and you verra well might be) you still haven’t decided where you will be getting drunk and hitting on your second-cousin yet. Don’t worry, I’ve got your back. First, the fantastic funk ‘n’ soul otherwise known as The Staxx Brothers will be at The Tractor Tavern. Rather rock while you’re getting crocked? Shim will be at the Sunset, Neon Nights will be at The King Cobra and A Gun That Shoots Knives will be at The Blue Moon. If you prefer chicken-wire to go with your beer, Highway 99 is hosting Hayride to Hell with Ruby Dee & the Snakehandlers and Purdy Mouth. I’m also happy to report that the Radio Nationals are again a band and will play their first gig in over a year at the High Dive on NYE. The Dusty 45’s share this sweet, sweet bill ensuring that this show will be as hot as Billy Joe’s horn. There’s also no shortage of big shows with DeVotchKa at the Showbox/Market, POT USA (with Monotonix and Vince Mira with the RK Trio) will be at The Paramount and Ghostland Observatory comes back to Seattle to celebrate New Years Eve at Showbox SoDo.

See you soon.

Wendy knows…

This week I thought I would highlight some of the shows happening this weekend that are also raising money for charity. Getting the fuck out, rockin’ out, getting drunk and making a difference? Priceless.

Friday, December 12th:

All hail the King. Bruce Campbell is in Seattle tonight.

My Name is Bruce
The Varsity
Bruce Campbell (!) directs and stars in his new movie, My Name is Bruce. Campbell himself will introduce Bruce tonight in Seattle, as well as hold a Q&A following the 7:00 pm showing. What would you ask Bruce? I’ve decided that I will ask him what kind of music he likes to listen to when he’s killin’ Zombies with his boom stick. I figured asking Bruce if anyone had ever asked to call his boom stick a boom stick during sex might not go over too well. Of course, the wild card here is if I am drunk enough (and I verra well will be) I will ask the boom stick question. Speaking of movies, Fast Times at Ridgemont High is the midnight show at the Egyptian tonight and Saturday. Boom Stick!

Piston Packin’ Momas XMas Bash
Motor
This show will benefit the Homeless Animal Rescue.

KISS Kids by Ron English.

KISS Army and Madman Diaries
Cardos (Chillicothe, OH)
A KISS trib and an Ozzy trib on the same bill. Finally, there is something to do on a Friday night in Chillicothe, OH. Well, sort of.

The Whore Moans at Neumo’s. Photo by Cherrybomb.

The Whore Moans
Chop Suey
A very good looking friend of mine asked me, “Will it be Whores or Hands for you tonight”. Well, what’s it gonna be punk? TWM new record, Hello From Radio Wasteland, somehow captures the energy of a live TWM show. I no longer need caffeine to wake up in the morning. Not that I actually wake up in the morning or anything. But if I did, all I would need is this record.

The Dutchess and the Duke, Mary.

The Dutchess and the Duke
Vera
Mary is one of my favorite song of 2008.

The Hands. Photo by Lori Penney.

The Hands
The Comet
Will it be Hands or Whores for you tonight?, is my new favorite phrase. It works on so many levels. For instance, if someone asks you if you are free next Saturday night, you would simply say, “Sure! Will it be Hands or Whores?”. Or, when your so-called “friend” asks you if you have that $50 you owe stole from him, you can easily squirm out of not giving it to him by saying, “Will it be Hands or Whores for you tonight?”. I guarantee he will forget all about that money because he will spend the rest of the day trying to figure out what the fuck you are talking about. It’s perfect.

Saturday, December 13th:

The Real Me, WASP. Any time I can blog about WASP I will. Take that Nickelback.

Quadrophenia Cover Night
The Tractor
Bands like Thee Stg. Major III, Kim Virant and the Tripwires will be covering The Who’s Quadrophenia in it’s entirety. Proceeds from this show benefit Musicares.

Lynval Golding of The Specials (!) will is also on this amazing bill.

Now Get the Fuck Out already. Thanks to LP for her handy inspiration for GTFO this week.

The Plasmatics, Goin’ Wild. Which is exactly what you should be doing this weekend…

After a short hiatus freak-out, GTFO it back. And that’s good because this month is full of much GTFO worthy stuff that you should know about. Anyway, I know first hand how tough things are right now. And that means getting out to a club to see a band or a show might be more of a financial challenge than it used to be. Just try to remember that local businesses like, your favorite watering hole, need you more than ever these days. The same goes for your favorite local bands and artists. Supporting them especially during tough times, is the only way to ensure that they will still be there tomorrow. Sadly, just as I was getting ready to publish this entry, I was told that The Cops are calling it quits after their show on December 19th at The Sunset. So get together with your rock-minded friends, maybe share a ride or drink a little less (your liver will thank you) and put that cash toward a CD or other band merch. Anyway, I’ll get off my burning pulpit now so you can get on with Getting The Fuck Out…

Friday, December 5th:

Black Eyes and Neckties, Helms Alee

Helms Alee did an in-studio earlier this week on KEXP. It was completely amazing. I can’t recommend this bill enough. Don’t forget to bring earplugs.

Tesla, Edison’s Medicine, 1991. For Surly and LP.

Tesla
The Joint (The Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas)
Last month, Tesla, Queensryche and a Sebastian Bachless Skid Row all took to the high seas to rock out with their fans. Some  as paid as much as $2,100 for a VIP room with a balcony. It seems that the current recession has had absolutely no affect on the Metal community. Phew.

Saturday, December 6th:

Kowloon
Bit Saloon
A young Sleazegrinder and I used to get dragged to the Kowloon in Saugus, Massachusetts (due to a technical issue with Flash V10 I can’t post a photo of the Kow but you can click the link above to see it in all it’s satanic majesty) more often than we would have liked. True story.

Wild Orchid Children
The Sunset Tavern

Looking Ahead:

The Supersuckers, Creepy Jackalope Eye.

On January 5th, Cherrybomb’s birthday, The Supersuckers will play Motor and I didn’t even ask them. I love it when that happens.

Now Get The Fuck Out. Thanks to Surly for his help with this entry.

Witchiepoo temporally replaces Wendy O for the Halloween 2008 edition of GTFO…

Happy Halloween all you groovy ghouls! If by some chance you waited until the last minute to make your Halloween Weekend plans, this entry should help you fill that creepy calendar of yours. Also, if this entry is a bit rambling, well, that’s strictly the Vicodin talking, not me. And as I said earlier this week, GTFO is going to be short and sweet as my day today is going to be long and busy.

Lastly, if you haven’t sent in your absentee ballot yet, please, fill that thing out, get yourself a first-class stamp and put it in the mail.

Because before you Get The Fuck out this weekend, you must Get The Fucking VOTE Out. Then you can party guilt free.
