Like most Angelenos, Eddie Solis is pissed about the traffic on the 101. Unlike most Angelenos, Eddie Solis writes songs about being pissed about the traffic on the 101.
Solis’ band, an impossibly loud punk/hardcore duo called It’s Casual, addresses transit issues with an urgency hitherto unmatched in the realm of urban planning. Imagine Henry Rollins at a City Council Transportation Committee meeting, all neck veins and municipal outrage, and you get the picture.
Onstage, Solis’ eyes bulge amid a shock of curly hair, his throat emitting the collective war cry of a million frustrated commuters: “Los Angeles! There’s too many people! I want them to go away!”
His isn’t the Los Angeles of Priuses, Pilates and brunch, but the L.A. of undocumented immigrants, hardcore music and bus-stop delays. After nearly 10 years of ceaseless yelling, It’s Casual have a busy year ahead of them, what with slots on Fu Manchu’s North American tour, a forthcoming sequel to their ’08 ode to the city, The New Los Angeles, and, maybe, a European tour.
“We’ve been working at it and believing in this kind of music — which I call L.A. hardcore or L.A. skate rock — every day,” says Solis. His gaze is unflinching, and his voice is smog-raspened. He calls It’s Casual “L.A.’s only two-piece hardcore band” and is serious about his art. “I don’t take it lightly. It all comes from deep within.”
It’s Casual formed in 2001, the name inspired by a line in Cameron Crowe’s obscure follow-up to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, called The Wild Life. In it, a character played by the late Christopher Penn replies with “It’s casual” every time he is asked a question. Solis currently has a similar relationship with drummers — he’s between them. As far as a third member? “We kept trying to find a bassist, and they kept flaking,” Solis says.
The band’s sonic boom is amazing, considering there are only two of them. The secret to their sound is a unique pedal and mic’ing system. Solis’ guitar is actually wired to two amps for added punch. The results are so thunderous that fellow musicians have been known to come early to shows to watch him set up. (“There is a special formula with different pedals,” he explains of his sound. He’s trying to register it as intellectual property.)
It’s Casual’s first record, The New Los Angeles, came out in fall 2007, and was inspired by Solis’ commute from Pico Rivera to Hollywood. Tracks include “EZ Pass,” about the public transit ticket, and “The Red Line” (the handy subway that connects North Hollywood to Union Station). Most of It’s Casual’s songs last around two minutes and contain no more than three or four lyrics, hammering home their message with a directness most public servants and council officials have yet to master. Even Councilman Bill Rosendahl, chair of Los Angeles’ Transportation Committee, is impressed. “Music is a good way to get transportation messages across,” he says during a recent phone call, adding that he hoped It’s Casual were aware that plans for the Purple Line are afoot. “They should write a song about the Purple Line!” he enthuses, suggesting possible lyrics, singing: “The Purple Line/In my lifetime!”
It’s not all subways and off-ramps. Solis ventures into other matters. “Cholas Are Loyal,” for example, is all about the advantages of dating Latinas. And It’s Casual’s next album, The New Los Angeles II: Less Violence, More Violins, is inspired primarily by the California education budget deficit. “Do you think It’s Casual will translate in Europe?” he wonders, aware of his band’s distinctly local messages. But wherever there is a rush hour, there are people who identify with Eddie Solis.
Born and raised in East Los Angeles County, Solis is “the result of basically growing up around a gang-infested area with lots of negativity.” He turned to music and skateboarding as an escape, and was 15 when he started his first band — a Ramones cover group called Endless Vacation, which played shows in his parents’ living room. He got “the heaviness” from his father, who used to carry his young son around the house on his shoulders while listening to Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and the Who. “They weren’t handing me money to buy me instruments,” Solis says, “but they were, like, ‘Hey, listen, we know you wanna do this, so here’s our backyard and here’s our living room.’ Which is pretty punk.”
His parents let him build a halfpipe in the back, and Solis would “put Slayer on the radio superloud” and learn skateboarding tricks with his friends. “That would be Friday night, and then Saturday we would have a show on the ramp and take donations to keep it refurbished.” Skate videos informed his taste in music — the teenage Solis would grab a pen and paper and pause the VCR to jot down names of bands like Black Flag, Dinosaur Junior, Hüsker Dü, “… all the good stuff on SST.”
Fast-forward to 1993, when Solis started interning at metal record label Century Media, which gave him a taste of hardcore commuting. Taking the bus from Pico Rivera to the label’s headquarters in Santa Monica every day was a formative experience, but he only lasted about a month (“Well, you know, it was a long trek”). That job led to a position at Priority Records, down the street in the CNN building. That’s where he learned how to sell records, a job he still does today as sales manager at doom-metal label Southern Lord.
Solis also worked as a publicist for Black Flag at SST, under the label’s founder, Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn. Basically it was the gig of Solis’ 15-year-old dreams. “I took the job because I thought it would be great to work for an icon, a legend,” he says. It was there that he learned the philosophy of DIY.
Three years ago, while strolling down the road near the Southern Lord offices in East Hollywood, Solis came upon the Relax Bar, a 150-person capacity Thai karaoke bar with an orange awning. Solis has single-handedly transformed it into a hub for L.A.’s heavy music scene. He’s booked more than 400 thrash, doom, noise and punk bands there in the last three years. “I was going to lunch, walking past the Relax Bar and the door was open. I saw a stage and it had this dark, musty kind of vibe. Kind of grim in terms of the atmosphere but real positive in terms of what you could do there. I thought, if I could get these owners on the same page and book any format — whether it’s satanic black metal or really avant-garde stuff — that would be great.”
The Relax Bar’s owners, despite not being fluent in English, supported Solis’ vision, prompting the most unlikely cultural union since Weezer recruited Kenny G. “They had a guy translating as I tried to describe the kinds of bands I wanted to book, using metal as my main focus. I said ‘Ozzfest, no — not those kinds of bands. Stuff that’s a little more creative, full of more soul, and more organic.” He played them some It’s Casual and High on Fire and a selection of punk and grindcore CDs, and they seemed to like it. Turns out the ballad-loving Thai karaoke bar owners, like Solis, possessed an unyielding passion for DIY. “They know how much work it is to bring your gear out, record your own stuff and self-release records,” says Solis. “They are all musicians themselves.” It’s been a happy union ever since, with some of the gnarliest underground bands in L.A., from Municipal Waste to Chingalera, rocking the Relax Bar’s tiny stage amid the perpetual aroma of green curry and ginger — and, when the door pops open, the faint smell of bus exhaust.

RnRTV #252: RIP Jani Lane and Megadethetallica?
[LESS INFO] 12 VIEWS | ADDED 12:11:00 08/14/11
Rock n Roll TV gives you the rock news week after week hosted by Share Ross - Why did Van Halen cancel their Australia comeback tour; RIP Jani Lane; Portugal the Man have gear stolen; Greenday play secret gig for a cause and Megadeth's Dave Mustaine looking to form a supergroup!
Everyone is speculating who's to blame for Van Halen canceling their comeback tour of Australia. First Limp Bizkit was called out on the rug but Fred Durst says they were never even on the bill for any festivals down under. Then Aerosmith were blamed as promoters said negotiations for a co-headliner broke down. Then a radio station probably called it like it is… poor ticket sales. Doncha love how all that spin was used to distract us from the truth?
Former Warrant singer, Jani Lane was found dead in a Comfort Inn hotel in Woodland Hills on Thursday night. His friends and family will face a long wait to discover how he died after the initial tests revealed no conclusive cause of death. Warrant dedicated their North Dakota show to Jani the day after he died. RIP Jani.
Alaskan rockers Portugal, the Man had their touring van and trailer which were full of musical gear stolen in Chicago after playing at Lollapalooza. The band's singer, John Gourley says, every bit of money Portugal The Man has made over the last five years was in that trailer.
Former Deep Purple keyboard legend Jon Lord is fighting cancer.
Gogo's get a star on hollywood blvd.
Greenday played a not so secret secret gig in Costa Mesa last week with all proceeds going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
The Answer have a new album coming out in October. Titled Revival and produced by Grammy nominated Chris Frenchie Smith.
WHATEVER:
Justin Bieber's favorite tv show The Hard Times of RJ Berger got canceled.
Lindsay Lohan may be the new spokesperson of Cheaterville - the website devoted to anti-cheating.
---------------
Due to a band member illness, Megadeth had to cancel their gig in Oklahoma City on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. Meanwhile, rumors are flying that James Hetfield is actually considering Dave Mustaine 's persistent hammering to form a supergroup along with Lars Ulrich. Dave says it's on his bucket list. So look out for THAT!

Communicating with Aliens: A Complicated Science
[LESS INFO] 63 VIEWS | ADDED 23:18:37 07/22/11
Does intelligent life exist on other worlds? If so, how would we communicate with it? Astrophysicist Martin Rees discusses the complicated science of contacting extraterrestrial species.
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2010/08/02/Martin_Rees_Lifes_Future_in_the_Cosmos
President of the Royal Society, England's Astronomer Royal, Lord Martin Rees brings a lifetime of cosmological inquiry to a crucial question: What if human success on Earth determines life's success in the universe?
He thinks that civilization's chances of getting out of this century intact are about 50-50. He is hopeful that extraterrestrial life already exists, but there's no sign of it yet. But even if we are now alone, he notes that we may not even be the halfway stage of evolution.
There is huge scope for post-human evolution, so that "it will not be humans who watch the sun's demise, 6 billion years from now. Any creatures that then exist will be as different from us as we are from bacteria or amoebae."
Appropriately, Rees's Long Now talk was at the Chabot Space and Science Center in the hills above Oakland, in the planetarium. - The Long Now Foundation
Martin Rees is Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics and Master of Trinity College at the University of Cambridge. He holds the honorary title of Astronomer Royal and also Visiting Professor at Imperial College London and at Leicester University.
After studying at the University of Cambridge, he held post-doctoral positions in the UK and the USA, before becoming a professor at Sussex University. In 1973, he became a fellow of King's College and Plumian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy at Cambridge (continuing in the latter post until 1991) and served for ten years as director of Cambridge's Institute of Astronomy. From 1992 to 2003 he was a Royal Society Research Professor.

Hitler Glenn Beck And The Church Part 5 American Christianity
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 21:17:21 09/10/10
For more information click the link below: http://roarnomore.blogspot.com/2010/09/church-hitler-and-glenn-beck.html American Christianity You may be wondering, what all this has to do with Glenn Beck and the Restoring Honor rally? The answer is, "everything." Listen to the words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our Church. We are fighting today for costly grace. Cheap grace means grace sold on the market like cheapjack wares. The sacraments, the forgiveness of sin, and the consolations of religion are thrown away at cut prices. . . . In such a Church the world finds a cheap covering for its sins; no contrition is required, still less any real desire to be delivered from sin. . . . Cheap grace means the justification of sin without the justification of the sinner . . . it is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate. No let me ask you, "What kind of grace is Glenn Beck selling?" Don't get me wrong, I agree with much of what Glenn Beck says about politics, and I'm not in anyway saying he's Hitler. Nevertheless, he is both offering and revealing something damning that has already taken place in our churches. Russell D. Moore ties everything together with this statement from His syndicated blog. Too often, and for too long, American “Christianity” has been a political agenda in search of a gospel useful enough to accommodate it. There is a liberation theology of the Left, and there is also a liberation theology of the Right, and both are at heart mammon worship. The liberation theology of the Left often wants a Barabbas, to fight off the oppressors as though our ultimate problem were the reign of Rome and not the reign of death. The liberation theology of the Right wants a golden calf, to represent religion and to remind us of all the economic security we had in Egypt. Both want a Caesar or a Pharaoh, not a Messiah. Moore goes on to say, Any “revival” that is possible without the Lord Jesus Christ is a “revival” of a different kind of spirit than the Spirit of Christ (1 John 4:1-3). . . The answer isn’t a narrowing sectarianism, retreating further and further into our enclaves. The answer includes local churches that preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and disciple their congregations to know the difference between the Kingdom of God and the latest political whim. I second one of Moore's opening lines. "It’s taken us a long time to get here, in this plummet from Francis Schaeffer to Glenn Beck." Francis Schaeffer repudiated the pietistic compartmentalized version of Christianity that plagued the church of the Nazis and plagues ours today. The church must be involved in the political process as salt and light, but it must not compromise the fact that it is the church. In America we have both extremes. We have the hundreds of evangelical leaders- including the entire upper echelon at Liberty University- who have decided to look for revival from an ecumenical Mormon, and then we have the churches that stay completely out of the political process. One side says, "We're willing to compromise in order to be salt," in which case they loose their saltiness, and the other affirms, "We're not willing to compromise anything, you can't have your salt." Either way the salt is never truly injected into the culture. We have bought into cheap grace in America. Doctrine doesn't matter anymore. What matters is a "personal relationship," which saves me from hell, society be damned! What we need is a yellow Gadsden Flag (i.e. the "Don't Tread on Me" flag) which instead of a snake in the background, pictures the Holy Scriptures. If we compromise on the Gospel for the sake of politics, how are we any different than the "German Christians?" We're simply "American Christians," and in that order. We have bought into a right wing type of fascism where the military and our exceptionalism come before the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I fear we will follow in the footsteps of Germany, only time will tell. All it takes is a "conservative" to rally the churches into a frenzy over something of temporal importance. Christ said it best in Matthew 6:20-21. "but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Where's the heart of American Christianity. Is it with the Gospel or Glenn Beck? Does it resemble Germany 1933 or Rome 35 A.D.? More importantly, where's your heart?

Us Fallen Week Ending Oct 31 2009
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 01:12:41 11/02/09
Week ending Oct. 31, 2009 the US Department of Defense released the names of 27 military personnel who Died, while serving in the United States armed forces. Welcome viewers. These weekly episodes pay tribute to brave men and women who served our country with honor. This video and your respectful comments are memorial tributes to our fallen soldiers. Please visit USFallen.org website for previous episodes, military funerals and homecomings. On Wednesday,18 Americans came home. President Obama was at Dover Air Force Base, Del. – the first time a president has been present when remains of fallen military arrived. The president’s presence was significant. He will soon decide how to continue pursuing the war in Afghanistan. Welcoming home the 18 dead Americans and meeting with family members – when their grief and loss was still raw – will surely weigh on his decision. Obama acknowledged as such after the Dover ceremony: “The burden that both our troops and our families bear in any wartime situation is going to bear on how I see these conflicts.” The president was photographed participating in the arrival of the casket of one Fort Lewis soldier, Sgt. Dale Griffin, whose family had given permission for media coverage of his return. Because of the welcome change in military policy, which allows families to decide on coverage at Dover, more Americans are able to witness – at least from a distance – the price paid by soldiers and their loved ones. This has been the worst month for U.S. fatalities in Afghanistan since the United States invaded the country in October 2001. As long as U.S. troops are on the ground in such dangerous places as Afghanistan and Iraq, the grim ceremony at Dover will be repeated again and again. Fallen Description: Maj. David L. Audo, 35, of Saint Joseph, IL., Pfc. Brian R. Bates, Jr., 20, of Gretna, LA., Staff Sgt. Keith R. Bishop, 28, of Medford, N.Y., Spc. Robert K. Charlton, 22, of Malden, MO., Sgt.

Abusive Relationships A Sermon By Pastor Nelson Turner Of Www Av1611 Reformation Com
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 03:17:55 10/14/09
Pastor Nelson Turner of www.AV1611Reformation.com preaches from the infallible word of God in the English language, the AV1611 King James Bible, on the subject of ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS. This sermon was originally delivered on the Lord's day October 4, 2009, and is available as a free .mp3 format audio download at: http://av1611reformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/abusive-relationships-pastor-nelson-turner-10-4-2009.mp3 . What is an "abusive relationship"? It is any interaction by human beings in or with this world which violates the laws of God and/or the laws of nature. These violations, which in our nation especially are being multiplied in number and sheer depravity, enkindle and invite the wrath of God in just retribution. The history of other cultures and nations which have been similarly disoriented proves that contemporary western civilization, led by the United States, likely does not have long to wait to see the justice of God wrought upon all wickedness. Ignoring the lessons found in the histories of Noah and Lot, modern day universalists (especially exemplified by Arminian "Christians") have made an idol of their imaginary god, who is indifferent to sin and embraces all beliefs and behaviors in diverse, relativistic confusion. Through indifference and tolerance of evil the purported servants of the Lord have welcomed the enemies of God into their camp. The pure doctrine found in God's word is forsaken for feel good psychobabble that has no power to build up the saints and serves only to advance the corruption and satisfy the urge for filthy lucre. But we read this concerning how the TRUE GOD sees it, and how He will deal with it: "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision.Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure..Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel." Psalm 2:4-5,9
