The Music Banter Members' Journals Monthly Update Thread

Screen13 · 12-30-2013, 04:25 PM

To those who won, congrats!

During the last few months, I have been going through what I may think of as a "Final Maturity" which means getting a lot of information plus memories - this includes getting a crapload of information of Grindhouse films playing in the Detroit area in the last decade of the Grindhouse/REAL Drive In era (Yeah, real Drive Ins still exist, but do they show stuff like The Alien's Deadly Spawn on a regular basis? I think not!) plus more accurate information about that decade I grew up in called The 80's for the Ghost Mall Music which includes the best of personal memories...as well as gathering up more more more for my Rare 60's journal. Maybe I did not need to go into Journal Hibernation, but I felt that it was right, and getting re-connected with a lot of memories and even getting classic ad scans of the era only added to the fun of researching. The recent Ads and Photos From Rock Albums thread in the Classic Rock section of this forum has shown to be a one-man show, sadly, but maybe it has proved something all along that The Mall Must Be Built.

PS, I know that this is mainly about music, but as a long time fan of 60's-80's Horror, and with a serious dairy of Fridays in Metro Detroit's Grindhouse Movie arena from 76-89/Early 90, I have been dreaming of getting my Movie Blog The Scene of Screen 13 established on MB. I think there's a TV blog by Trollheart if I'm not mistaken. Can that be done here? I think that there's fans of low budget Martial Arts flicks and crazy cheap Horror films around here like myself.

I would love to read your movie blog/journal. Start it up please. You will have at least one dedicated reader. I'm all over B-horror movies. I'm working on a Hellraiser Franchise write up for my own journal.

There are no rules. I think I sort of broke the mould a little with the first non-music journal (though I could be wrong, but definitely the first one dedicated to TV), and the floor is wide open now. Urban is running a journal on Doctor Who, and as DJ says you'll definitely have readers. If you want to do it, go right ahead. I'm going to assume Exo will also be a big fan, once he gets his personal problems sorted. It's not the sort of thing I'm into, but as with every other journal, I'll read it and feature it in the update. So definitely go for it.

Also looking forward to the return of Ghost Mall music!

Either that or the mods are just so tired of approving your endless updates that they can't even be bothered to read them anymore.

SPEACH! SPEACH! SPEACH!

Why thank you ! This is most unexpected! That account you asked me to transfer the money to isn't working by the way ... what do you mean, I couldn't have picked a worse time...?

Yeah. I wasn't talking about the band. I was referencing the fact that he (Engine) had a picture of a guy relaxing and said he was taking a break, I said from heavy music, he said no just from heavy doom. Man! Do I have to explain everything? You took that out of context and misunderstood it. Though I did make the mistake with the band name, and was not aware that two such bands existed. Also, I didn't and don't care.

There is that, yes...
And who the hell is your goddamn avatar, anyway??

x2 if Screen 13 started a journal about b-movie flicks I'd be reading it and if you're doing a Hellraiser write-up that as well.

Looks like Keanu Reeves, The Batlord's latest crush.

I've loved Keanu Reeves for years. Everything he touches may not be gold but at least he has at least one line in almost everyone of his movies that is brilliant:

The Matrix - I know kung fu.

Point Break - Keanu's Boss at FBI: What do you have to say for yourself?
Keanu: I just caught my first tube today. Sir.

Hardball: I love it when they call me Big Pappa!

And I'm sure I could go on.
